Blake Christian vs. Wheeler Yuta

[6.0] "Not as good as the previous match, I thought Christian's work on top at the beginning was such slog to get through and in general the match was a bit too long, it had a good point where it could've ended, but it went on a bit too long, it had a really good part in the middle when Yuta got more offense in, but they lost me again towards the end."

[6.0] "(Grade:C) For these two being replacement for the tournament, they did well in the beginning it was a bit clunky though as the match went on they found their pace and it worked at times the crowd wasn't into it yet the contrast of style boost the competitiveness throughout."

[8.0] "A superb all-round bout with the crippling technique of Yuta against the versatility and the fire of Christian. These two proposed quite an enjoying sprint. Sweet sequences and smooth transitions, they worked their asses off and that sublimated their chemistry. Young Wheeler threw some nice big strikes as well. A great showcase for these lads. Quite a gem, in fact."

[8.0] "Really good match between 2 of the better young guys in wrestling who put on a clinic from the start, some realy cool moments throughout"

[7.0] "Level already increses here, great battle between these two super talented dude. Very very good match."

[7.0] "It's nice to watch the match of young stars with beautiful combinations and high-quality spots. The speed in the match was average, the fighters were in no hurry, but they obviously did not make us bored. There were a lot of hard punches and throws, jumps were so awesome in general. As a result, Wheeler Yuta held Blake Christian from Yuta Lock and deftly went further up the tournament ladder."

[6.0] "Really generic but mildly entertaining stuff heere. Yuta had some nice grappling work and submissions, though he didn't highlight them nearly as much as he should have. On top of that, some of his attacks looked very basic and occasionally quite weak, and some of his movements looked overly awkward and unnatural, making his overall performance feel pretty stale. His high-flying attacks were especially disappointing because they had 0 'flash' or grace to them (Liger would have been proud, and that's definitely not a compliment). Christian was a bit better because of how athletic he was and how hard he tried to do his Omega/Ospreay cosplay, but so much of what he did was just a bunch of super generic mega-indy spots, with underwhelming impact and not especially polished technique, resulting in most of his attacks looking pretty hollow. They attempted a story of Yuta working over Christian's leg, but Christian literally never sold it until the very end when he accidentally tweaked it on a bailed 450 splash (even though he'd *constantly* been running and jumping around before that with zero issues), which then allowed Yuta to hook the leg with a complex cradle for the win. Yuta's targeting was never that extensive, to be fair, which was why I was initially fine with Christian not selling it, but for him then to suddenly go back to selling it right at the end -- conveniently at the perfect time for Yuta to capitalise by finally returning to the leg as he cradled Christian for the win -- was rather irritating. I'd much rather they'd just done a story of Yuta consistently targeting the leg and Christian consistently selling it, since then such a finish would have been completely logical and thus more enjoyable. I imagine that fans of either wrestlers will enjoy this quite a bit, but for me it was pretty standard stuff. ***"

[9.0] "This match was great, the battle of 2 of the most talented young wrestlers of these prowrestling days was really beautiful, I enjoy watching the guys' matches."

[8.0] "Very good undercard match between Yuta and Christian here which was the great sprint I was expecting and didn't surprise me at all as with two wrestlers like them you can only expect quality and response from both sides with plenty of adversity, no doubt this match delivered considering how I had set my expectations. I was worried that the two wouldn't click given their different styles but in the end there's nothing better than a bit of opposition in a professional wrestling match and my doubts were quickly erased within the first few minutes, I feel like this match is going to be a bit of an under-the-radar gem and I don't like it because Yoots & Blake have moved their ass to reveal themselves here. Big showcase for them and they didn't rest, a bunch of great sequences and flowing stuff between two guys who seem to know each other perfectly even though it's the first time they've faced each other. Worth-watching stuff."
