El Lindaman vs. Kaito Ishida

[10.0] "Genuinely incredible match, the best story pacing and struggle in any G-Rex match up to this point with the best wrestling as well. The finals 8ish minutes were practically perfect with it also maintaining meaning and my attention for the first 10 where a lot of matches tend to waste nowadays."

[8.0] "Man, the way these two sucked me in with the pace of this match was something else. Non-stop kicks, suplexes, and chops, all while they guys are fighting for an advantage. As in goes on, it's clear no one has the advantage, and these just start trading bombs. The sense of urgency increases with some great near falls, and when Ishida hooks in the ankle lock, Lindaman is too gassed to get out of it. Great stuff. 4.25 Stars."

[7.0] "Crazy match, 18 minutes of non-stop action. It did take a while for me to really get into things though, even if the spots and counters were all very smooth and unique I didn't really feel invested in the whole match. The final 5 or so minutes was fantastic and drew me into the match but then kinda went on a little bit too long. Some of the spots could've done with a bit more time to breathe instead of going straight to the next thing. Still a great match though, 18 minutes flew by - ***3/4"

[9.0] "Great match. Both men brought a sense of urgency throughout which meant there was very little downtime. Some nasty suplexes from both and a great submission sequence at the end. These are the kind of matches that draw eyes to a promotion. ****1/2"

[9.0] "Great match between El Lindaman and Kaito Ishida here which was a total introduction for me to the GLEAT universe, a promotion that I had already heard about thanks to Lindaman but that I had never taken the time to watch unfortunately, and I say unfortunately because I regret not having done it earlier seeing the quality of this match but on the other hand I don't regret it so much because I think this match was the perfect introduction for me. Seeing this, I want to see more and watch their future shows as well as discover more about Ishida that I didn't know at all and that really impressed me, as for Lindaman very happy to see that he's still as fantastic in the ring as when I discovered him last year in the BOSJ. An excellent title defense from him here, a long intense sprint filled with brilliant action and impressive sequences, both put no limits on themselves and delivered completely."

[9.0] "2023 - Fantastic, maybe just shy of MOTYC hope this turns into a great reign for Ishida who quite impressed me here. Love the finish, the trading of chops, suplexes, submissions. All great. ****1/2"

[9.0] "Pretty much as good as Junior Heavyweight wrestling gets, El Lindaman continues his unbelievable year in style, huge moves, huge emotion. Ishida delivers stiff kicks and a real competitive, fierce energy here. The finish is simple but brilliant."

[8.0] "A great match, so good to have cheering crowds back. I hope Lindaman and Ishida represent what comes ahead for Gleat."

[7.0] "El Lindaman has the Hulk Hogan tan. Thats my first impression. My second impression is that this was pretty good. It was a very good match for this company. Lindamans title reign has delivered a few good ones and this was one of them. A very good end to the title reign as well. And while the whole company has transitioned into a second Dragon Gate, I wont complain when it produces a good match like this. Ishida picked Lindamans leg apart for most of the match and it paid off. Enough said. ***1/2"

"Fantastic culmination of this feud, I enjoyed it from start to finish perhaps unlike some who didn't like the first few mins. Lindamen's title reign has to be one of the best ever, he had notable matches with everyone and made the title feel prestigious within it's first few years of existence. Kaito Ishida was the perfect villain and the perfect heir to the throne. Osaka was red hot for this one and really got into it in the final 10 minutes. Less kick focused Ishida which brings out his chops and fighting spirit and Lindamen was just stellar as always (go back to any G-REX title match to see for yourself, I recommend Shigehiro Irie). Go out of your way to watch this, though you don't have to look far as the fact this promotion is FREE on YouTube is insanity. Perfect 5 stars for me and immediately notebooked."

[9.0] "The perfect match to end one of the best reign as of late. Great back and forth action with, this time, the unexpected finish."

[8.0] "Very good match with a nice crowd that turns into a red-hot sprint in the final stretch. There's nothing wrong with the beginning but the exchanges in the last few minutes are awesome, and the intimate way it's shot from ringside makes it even more intense."

[8.0] "I didn't really like the first few minutes all that much, second half though, was really great. The striking was very good, the fighting spirit and nearfalls too. It's always super impressive to watch El Lindaman wrestle, he's ridiculously strong for someone who's 5'3. ****"

[8.0] "Loved the structure of this match, for such a small guy I've always thought El Lindaman works best when he's being a bully on top and that's what the majority of this match is. The final submission spot works perfectly, getting El Lindaman a ton of sympathy while also acting as a form of comeuppance for being a tiny muscle freak the rest of the match."

[9.0] "Brilliant match - high pace throughout with some great striking on Kaito's part and, as usual, some beautiful suplexes thrown by Lindaman. A phenomenal closing stretch ends with an incredibly captivating submission finish featuring some very good Lindaman selling. A fantastic watch, better than their first in my opinion."

[9.0] "This match was awesome watching it through was a blast, but it wasn't as good as the first until the finish Linda's expressive selling while Ishida just kept dragging him to the middle of the ring was compelling af it did feel like a continuation of the first with ishida focused attack on the leg, also like it hasn't been said enough Lindaman has the most beautiful suplexs it's like watching a master painter, have only seen a handful of Ishida but can't wait to see more... 8.5/10"

[9.0] "very very good match this one. super fast paced and loads of good striking. The ending sequence was packed full of great nearfalls, shame I knew the winning going into it, but still a must watch match."
