At the beginning things started off slow with both guys feeling each other out. Things spilled out on the floor with a little brawl and once thongs got back in the ring it got brutal fast. We got a short fight with with both guys throwing punches and lariats, plus it didn't hurt that Fujita busted open Taniguchi during this. Taniguchi tried his best with the two splashes and missed giving Fujita the opportunity to put things away with two kicks and getting the win with the choke out, excellent match.

Yeah, this ruled. Shuhei smacking Fujita on the ropes and shrugging it off was great, right before punt kicking him and planting him with an apron backdrop. Tons of big strikes, including that blood-bursting headbutt, the visual of a bloody faced Shuhei no selling the Death Valley Driver to continue elbowing Fujita. And then Fujita's finishing run looked brutal, between the big open hands, the folding powerbomb, the punt kicks and the final choke sleeper. Short and brutal.
