Posted March 26, 200817 yr comment_5429997 This was a perfectly nice technical display from two very accomplished athletes. But it was lacking in the heat and urgency departments. They spent the first 15 minutes on matwork, breaking the flow every so often with solid strike exchanges (leg kicks, head butts, slaps et. al.) But neither really seemed to be going for the win despite the 20-min time limit. Then they took it outside and followed with a near fall sequence. Asuka hit Komatsu with a run of big offense -- suplexes, dropkicks, a pile driver -- and that was that. It was a good enough technical showcase that you guys should take a look, but I won't fight for it come disc making time.
