Posted July 1, 200916 yr comment_5441379 If we're going to squeeze a Yokozuna match on the set, this might be it. He already did a good job at playing the immovable object but then bumping when it was time. His offense was simple but looked like it hurt. It was fun to watch Hash work as a physical underdog for once. There was a great moment near the end when he briefly tried a slam but then paused and decided, "Fuck it. I'm just going to knock him out." This would definitely be a low-end choice, but I like the concept of a solid Yokozuna-Hash match enough to push it forward. Sky Classics 133
July 13, 200916 yr comment_5441863 I loved this, you don't normally see Hashimoto work as a smaller underdog, and he was pretty great at it (I remember him doing this well in Zero One too) Kokina was pretty damn mobile for such a huge dude and I loved all the near falls and the finish. I think I am giving this a bigger thumbs up then Childs.
July 26, 200916 yr comment_5442311 Watched this with Loss and we liked parts of the match but not the match overall. The first part was absolutely nothing special (except for the sunset flip) leading up to the nerve hold. After the nerve hold, it picks up and there were some really fun parts with Kokina bumping big. However, this ended way too soon before I would call it a low-level nomination. No vote.
