1 | 09.12.2022 | Paul Allain | 7.0 | Nothing too spectacular in the deathmatch style, pretty much breaking a lot of lightubes and going home, but where the match gains value is the way Jun Kasai used his personality to instantly connect with the crowd. Akin to Abdullah Kabayashi in 2010, the japanese deathmatch specialist had a first round matchup with an icon of the style in the USA, but managed to use his over-the-top antics to put the crowd on his side immediately, and found a myriad of ways to showcase his crazy persona while inflicting damage to his opponent, and a little bit on himself to fully ingratiate himself to the rabid CZW fans. Solid first round match, with the magical use of charisma in judicious fashion elevating a guest into a valuable moneymaking attraction, quite the productive feat. |
