Posted May 12, 20187 yr comment_5849080 Surprised there wasn't a thread for this. Really fun throwing sprint where everything feels just a bit more meaninful than it normally would with it being the last pre-split Budokan, one of the the HDA's last matches, and the crowd being completely rabid from the start. The HDA blitzes the other team from the opening bell with Taue doing a nodowa off the apron within the first few minutes and the match doesn't slow down much. It is a bit unfortunate that Ace didn't sell the move more and is in control just a few minutes later, but that's just the direction this style had gone at this point. Taue gets a shoulder injury and they wok over Kawada a bit while he gets it taped up, but it's back to trading big moves once he's back in. Enjoyed the spot where Ace overshot on a moonsault on Kawada and Kawada responded by kicking him. Not the deepest stuff, but you could do much worse than these guys and Ace was actually really good with timing the pin fall attempts so that he got his shoulder up at the last possible moment. ***1/2
