ACH vs. Tiger Mask

[5.0] "This was a good opener, a decent match, both men working just hard enough to get the people going without burning them out."

[8.0] "Great stuff from both guys, It's a shame that Ach isn't booked regularly by njpw, because he proved again this year that he can hang with the best of the super juniors"

[8.0] "Energetic & hard hitting w/ a really good flow. Especially loved those vicious kicks Tiger Mask unleashed; ACH sold them like death. ***1/2"

[5.0] "This didn't do much for me. A Block has been real hard to get motivated to watch, this year, and this match really highlighted why. ACH is solid. Put him in there with some of NJPW's matches, and you're gonna have a pretty good match! But put him in there with someone like Tiger Mask, and you get a very nothing match. Unfortunately for him, they put him in a block with a few other performers of about the same caliber (Kanemaru, BUSHI, YOH), two critically acclaimed performers (Ishimori, Ospreay), Flip Gordon, and Tiger Mask IV. It's really hard to maximize someone like ACH in a block like this. I've gained new appreciation for Tiger Mask, who has really been trying harder lately. But I don't expect good matches out of him, and he never exceeds my expectations. This was fine. There was nothing wrong with it. The stuff with ACH playing a Tiger Mask fanboy was cute, if seemingly out-of-nowhere. But nothing in this match impressed me or made me feel rewarded for watching. It was perfectly average."
