SANADA vs. Tetsuya Naito

[9.0] "Best match from SANADA in this tournament and probably the best match I ever saw from him. Incredible chemistry he had with his leader Naito and a easily enjoyable main event. It was a bit short tho, could be longer without any problem."

[8.0] "Match starts off with Naito undressing for five minutes while Sanada sleeps in the other corner, setting the tone that Sanada isn't going to play into Naito's "tranquilo" goading. I popped when Sanada just straight booted Naito out of his pose early in the match. Sanada starts off showing off, only for Naito to drag him to the ramp for an ass beating. Back in the ring, both men trade reversals, they know each other well. Sanada looks really good in this match. Hitting the destino is the crux of this match, and Naito ultmaitely hits it for the win."

[8.0] "The battle of members of the LIJ was highly anticipated, and it didn't disappoint with SANADA and Naito having a great match."

[7.0] "Solid match. I liked how cocky SANADA was in this match, showing off and the beginning, not allowing Naito to get away with his showboating, spitting right back at Naito. However for most of the match it just felt like both were going through the motions. After Naito avoided the moonsault the match finally kicked into gear. I liked SANADA using destino and trying to pin Naito the same way he did Sabre earlier in this tournament. ***1/4"

[8.0] "One of the best built matches of the G1 and it delivered. It was less about a battle for the win and the battle of showing off who was more ? tranquillo? . It was simple storytelling and both looked equal. One thing I did find odd was the lack of crowd heat for the match at times. There was never silence but more smatters of noise. It? s hard to explain but it there was times where they crowd was cheering heavily. It was on and off. Guess that? s what a lack of true animosity can do to a match. ***Ÿ"

[7.0] "A very good back & forth match between two stablemates - very good flow & swagger to it. ***"
