Daisuke Harada vs. Kotaro Suzuki

[8.0] "Pretty good match, deserves higher an 8. 5 more than an 8. The finish looked rough, but had good build up. Noah's juniors aren't very flashy compared to American or Mexican juniors but are still great wrestlers and this is a great example of that."

[7.0] "Both of the title matches these guys had with each other were pretty good, but I don't think they were as special as a lot of people think. There was a lot of interesting ideas, but not everything executed well. I think they tried to cram a lot of stuff in such a short amount of time that at least 5 more minutes would've made this stand out more, ****."

[8.0] "This was a really good jr title match they started out with a little grappling before transferring into Suzuki attacking the face of Harada with a variety of moves. I liked how every move of Harada was a big move, that is all he did all match there was no attached at smaller moves to build up to a big move or to weaken Suzuki down but instead he threw everything at Suzuki at every opportunity he got. This really showed his desperation. There were some nice counters in this with one or two being a little too cutesy for my liking, the strikes of both guys stood out really well as did the many roll up attempts by Suzuki. The beach break style move right at the finish was nasty. Only problem outside of one or two bits being a little too cutesy for a feud match was that the crowd for the most part sucked. They got into it eventually but for a match with a lot on the line I would have expected a bit more from them. ***3/4 really good jr title match which is pretty much a given when either of these two are involved."

[10.0] "One of the best Jr. Heavyweight matches of the year. Most likely will go under the radar for best matches in 2018 due to how late in the year it occurred. Harada has had an excellent run this year with amazing consistency, and Kotaro is a monster with some of my favorite offense in wrestling. Their previous match in October was great, but this really took it up a notch with some fast paced striking, pinning sequences, and a terrifying bump near the end. EDIT: Yo-Hey betrayed RATELS post match. This is now the worst match of the year, -0/5 stars."

[8.0] "Great back and forth match up with two of the smoothest wrestlers today. Some slick wrestling w/ only a few iffy moments like Suzuki being dropped on his head but fuck it. They combined everything together into one only like the juniors can and put on a great showing. The high-flying, striking and grappling was on point throughout this match. Some dramatic moments too w/ the call back to their previous match. Watch this. This is good stuff. ****"
