Of course, this is a blast. Anjoh being a smug shithead and throwing spitfire strikes while trying to avoid Nakano's German suplex is an easy but fun narrative, The stuff on the ground isn't very compelling but that's okay because they make up for it on their feet. Lots of feisty hands from Anjoh and it wouldn't be a Nakano classic without a busted nose. He dumps Anjoh with a dragon suplex but by the end of this, Nakano looks busted. The mustard on those strikes gets spicier and Nakano keeps trying for that German but can't and instead, gets choked out. Anjoh doesn't immediately let go of it either, in true Anjoh dick move fashion. 

This was a good opening match. I liked the english commentary for this match. One of the commentators said “Anjoh is a real nice guy outside of the ring” which is funny because he’s a total shit head in the ring. Very smug and has a punchable face. Only punches aren’t allowed in the rules. Alas. The striking was super fun to watch though. Anjoh threw some wicked palm strikes, busting Nakano’s nose opening midway through the match. Nakano threw mean kicks to the body, mostly hitting the mark but would occasionally get caught and taken to the mat. Nakano had an awesome dragon suplex where he spiked Anjoh on the back of his head and got ahead on points but he fell into the trap of trying to hit his german suplex only to get caught by Anjoh in the end and choked out with a sleeper choke. ***1/2
