A really pleasant surprise. Higgins was a big, rough-looking dude with some brutal suplexes. He brought out the fire in Fujinami, who turned in a strong "chopping down the big guy" performance with lots of leg attacks and movement. They got kind of sloppy but in that good way that made it feel more like a fight. Almost every moment seemed genuinely intense and contested. The spill outside for the double countout felt in character with the match. I'll throw it on the block.

This was pretty fun, Higgins did have some great looking suplexes, including an awesome double arm suplexes. His punches kind of sucked though, which hurts in a match like this. The sloppiness Childs mentions was true lots of this was sloppy. Let's move it forward for now, Will watch it, but this is a mild endorsement.

I wasn't feeling this match as much as you guys. Way too many AWESOME Fujinami matches to move this forward. Plus, what the fuck was that botched cross-body? I'll agree on the suplexes and the punches but no.
