Rare show from a mini promotion that was vaguely associated with K-Dojo! They have some cool dudes like Tadanobu Fujisawa and Masao Ando.
Takuya Iijima vs. Daisuke Masaoka
Solid undercard match. Iijima is a very fun big boy who throws cool kicks and knee drops that land with full bodyweight. He also had a cool Hashimoto-esque leg sweep that was unexpected. Masaoka does the bare minimum here working Iijimas leg and winning with a basic leglock in somewhat lazy fashion. Wouldn‘t mind to see more of Iijima.
SATOSHI vs. Southern Cross
Two interesting looking guys. Cross has a stark light blue outfit and mask, while SATOSHI looks like a dorky version of TAKA Michinoku. They tried to have a mat based contest. It was pretty basic but alright. SATOSHI had two nice suplexes at the end. Not much else to write home about.
Tadanobu Fujisawa & Dyna Mido vs. Masao Ando & Yuji Yoshida
Damn, I wasn‘t ready to see Masao Ando super buff and chiselled here. I thought that guy always had the tubby physique but he looked like a specimen here. His wrestling was very good, too. Early goings here were really good, reminded me a bit of a 90s NJPW Jr match. Mostly basic ground based stuff executed in really tight and interesting ways. Everybody was working super stiff, too, especially Andos kick that almost seemed to burst a guys chest. Fujisawa was also very good here as he knows how to be a violent prick. Dyna Mido was good early but kind of flubbed his brief run of offense during the second half. Unfortunately they don‘t deliver the Ando vs Fujisawa showdown that was the most promising match up in here. Nice stuff otherwise, love getting to check out guys like Ando and Fujisawa.
