| 6 | 11.02.2024 | arrancar | 7.0 | For as much cool stuff and ideas as we got here from Ricochet and Yamato, we still got some standard DG-style pacing issues and overkill-ness. They started out with some nice grappling trades (which obviously led to absolutely nothing) before Ricochet opened the match up by showing off his world-class agility and aerial stunts. After that initial shine Ricochet then got taken down a peg as Yamato began working over his leg in a variety of impressive ways, including his grimy beatdown work and heel attacks as well as his typically great 'grind you down' submission work. For what it's worth, Ricochet's overall leg-selling was actually pretty good, at least relative to typical DG-style selling, since he always sold convincingly in real time and always grabbed at or gestured to his leg when using it for his more demanding moves in the short term, making it clear that he was indeed limited by and struggling due to how extensive Yamato's targeting was. Yamato's charismatically grimy arrogance was a nice accompaniment to his control work but eventually his constant provoking caused Ricochet to fire up, snatch the space and recovery time Yamato foolishly gifted him, and return to his wonderful aerial attacks. His leg-selling was still mostly good at this point, but his consistency was definitely dropping compared to earlier. This increased effort of Ricochet caused Yamato to begin likewise putting more effort into his own attacks, as seen by him moving away from his slower beatdown work and into more explosive and exciting attacks to counter Ricochet's own such attacks. It was always exciting whenever Yamato would return to Ricochet's leg, since the already inflicted to it, plus the damage self-inflicted by Ricochet's own use of it, then made each of Yamato's leg submissions more and more believable as a finish. Their big-move trades and individual big spots ranged from good to very good, though it was annoyingly jarring seeing Ricochet drop his leg-selling even more so than before in the process. A few of their sequences in this period were quite creative, and all of them were performed with great technique and chemistry. Yamato going full rampage mode in the finishing stretch with his run-on big moves was great as always. As much as I enjoyed these rapid big moves they were both hitting, I also have to admit that their lack of appropriate selling periods required to pull them off as quickly as they did, plus the fact that the "my turn, your, turn" big-move trading approach is such a wholly uncreative and mindless formula for the most part, did hold the match back from being something I'd consider anywhere near 'great'. It did also unfortunately feel like yet another match on this card that ended pre-maturely, but that at least fit in with the deflating nature of heel Yamato once again ending a beloved babyface's reign, so it actually worked in a storyline sense. If they just changed up from DG's typically uncreative formula of the slow grappling start, the heel heat segment, the limb-targeting that eventually gets no-sold, and the mindless big-move trades, then these two could've easily had a great match. But, for as impressive as their athleticism and intensity still was in that final 1/4th, this ultimately still ended up as a really good match at the very least. ***1/2 |

| 16 | 13.02.2018 | seriousbusiness | 8.0 | If there was ever a match that shows Ricochet's great level of selling, it would be this match. There was actually some really good psychology in this match that you wouldn't expect out of a Ricochet match. YAMATO practically destroyed Ricochet's leg, who yeah did his usual moves, but he immediately went back to selling right after; he would slowly ascend the top rope, and coming down he would miss his target because of that sluggishness. Unfortunately YAMATO's title match experience and help from his Blankey crew would secure this win and title for himself, ****1/4. |

| 19 | 31.10.2015 | MatteoMerdok | 7.0 | I gave this match *** 3/4 stars out of 5. It was really good, most of the match was YAMATO attacking Ricochet's leg, which for the most part was sold well by Ricochet (other than a few high flying spots). The interference at the end seemed a little rushed, but overall it was a solid match. |

| 22 | 10.09.2014 | Wrestling Forever | 8.0 | Ich hätte mir dieses Match viel lieber als Main Event gewünscht als der eigentliche Main Event den der war sehr komisch und auch sehr schwach. Der Co Main Event nicht das hier war stark und da kann ich nicht verstehen warum Meltzer nicht auch das hier bewertet hat. Ein schönes Match das auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert ist (***1/2). |
| 23 | 23.07.2014 | STRIGGA | 9.0 | Wunderschönes Match. Es war keines dieser Dragon Gate Matches, welches sich ewig hinzieht und in welchem die Kontrahenten dann plötzlich vergessen, was sie noch mal sellen sollten, sondern diese Ansetzung verfolgte einen ganz klaren roten Faden, der durch das Selling von Ricochet, welches ich sehr gut fand, bis zum Ende durchgezogen wurde. Zwischenzeitlich bekam er, getrieben durch das Adrenalin, etwas Kraft zurück in sein Bein, er scheiterte letztlich aber an YAMATO, weil er in den entscheidenden Situationen nicht rasch genug seine Spots setzen konnte. |
