Ayato Yoshida & Kotaro Yoshino vs. Kengo Mashimo & Taishi Takizawa

[6.0] "The now forgotten NPH project started with ever forgotten 2AW showcase. The match is good, if not lacking a bit of drama and more Kotaro Yoshino action, but clearly talented Kotaro getting totally sidelined is sadly also part of 2AW you gotta get used to. Everyone else looked good still. ***1/4"

[6.0] "A good showcase match for the 2AW guys, I actually didn't really know anyone here, except Yoshida, but they all managed to impress me, especially Takizawa, who was also the MVP of this match imo. His chop exchange with Yoshida at the end was cool too."

[6.0] "This was a good match to start the show from 2AW. Ayato Yoshida did a good performance as always, his exchanges with Taishi Takizawa were good. Not the most interesting match but good for an opener. ***1/4"
