Bart Vale vs. Yuki Ishikawa

[6.0] "So after both guys go and do a little bit of RINGS stuff, they come back here and have a fairly hot Korakuen semi-main. Vale is the most protected guy in the company at this point, probably even more than Fujiwara and Ishikawa is working his way through the ranks but not top guy level or anything. He's at a level just enough to push Vale in this and it's a nicely worked match, Vale scores knockdowns with his big kicks and the way Ishikawa evades/tries to evade or catches one always pops the crowd a bit. Vale presses the advantage just enough to keep Ishikawa at bay but not enough to win the match and it keeps Ishikawa in the fight for a while longer than maybe he should've been. Later in the match Ishikawa manages his way on top of the ground game too until Vale snatches a headscissor and manoeuvres into a rear naked choke in a pretty fluid motion to get the tap, almost like he was pissed off with the match going that long."
