[2001-07-12-ZERO-ONE] Ikuto Hidaka vs Naohiro Hoshikawa

Solid junior heavyweight wrestling with a strong finishing stretch. You've got your standard opening with them trading holds and counters, then picking up the speed with some dives and more high-impact offense. Hoshikawa's kicks are as snug as always. The focus on the leg by Hidaka is the narrative here and he's always great at attacking it to set-up the Shawn Capture while Hoshikawa did a terrific job selling it. I love Hidaka's German suplex into the kneebar. The finish plays off the legwork with Hoshikawa hitting a German suplex hold but unable to maintain the bridge. So it tries it again, bridging on one leg to pin Hidaka.
