Atsuki Aoyagi vs. Seigo Tachibana

[7.0] "Objectively good match and both guys worked very hard but my goodness if you'd told me this was a 60 minute ironman match I'd have believed you as it felt like it went on forever. Absolutely no one needs a match from these guys (as much as I like Tachibana) going 27 minutes. ***3/4"

[7.0] "It was a good match although it lasted way too long. Aoyagi survived 2 Angle slams and 2 back piledrivers, one of which was on the apron. It shouldn't have taken that much."

[8.0] "It begins surprisingly slow, but halfway through it they wake up from whatever spell both men were under and deliver a superbly exciting match."

[6.0] "Half of this whole show seems to be lads working outside of the ring and this match is no exception. They are taking the wrong bits from Kento matches I like Tachibana a lot but Aoyagi is just not a guy who I have ever connected with and he never does anything to make me care about his matches. This went way longer than it needed to and the constant big move/kick out spam didn't work with a largely dead crowd. Delighted with the winner though and there was some good work here even if it went into overkill mode long before it finished"

[8.0] "Really good match. The first ten minutes or so are pretty slow and had my expectations for this match low but the last half of this match is electric."

[7.0] "Solid match, a good match. Not great but good. Definitely too long. Good ending but man it took awhile to get there. Trim some fat and this is better"

[8.0] "A good slow burn, a match built more like a heavyweight match than a junior match, with a very slow pace and no major tempo changes, but it was a match with good wrestling execution. It's cool that Tachibana won the title."
