Posted November 16, 200816 yr comment_5435755 Really good match. Saito started off dominating Kimura on the mat so Kimura moved to boxing him. After taking a bunch of clean shots, Saito said fuck this and suplexed Kimura to reclaim the advantage. He then worked Kimura's injured knee. Kimura sold the agony well, though he bounced back a little quickly once he returned to offense. Anyway, he did his usual strong comeback, only to miss a knee drop from the top and give Saito the opening he needed to finish him with a leg submission. This was just a well put-together match between a top-tier heel and a second-tier babyface. Nomination.

August 23, 200916 yr comment_5443254 I didn't get the vibe that Kimura was being dominated on the mat. It felt more like a "I have a big target on my leg so how do I keep this guy occupied from crippling me". Once Saito did start focusing on the leg, the match got real good, real quick. Kimura threw in enough hope spots that you thought he could pull off the upset. Good finish and I think this should go through. Not a slam dunk but a good match anyway you slice it.
