Masanobu Kurisu vs. Osamu Kido

[3.0] "This match didn't work very well for me, Kurisu's style didn't catch my attention even though it worked with the crowd in the arena."

[4.0] "Kurisu tries his hand at comedy as he gets the old farts opener spot. He's still a nasty headbutting bastard who throws chairs into the ring, but there's some comedy in how he spends an eternity getting chairs into the ring. The payoff is that as soon he enters the ring, Kido nails him with a chair and Kurisu immediately gets out of the ring again, only this time to have a breather. Outside of this mildly entertaining bit, the wrestling here was very basic and dull. Just a bunch of hold trading with average strikes peppered in. The crowd clearly enjoyed this, so who am I judge this too harshly?"
