Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Shotaro Ashino

[6.0] "I am using a translation tool, so this might be a bit hard to follow. Ashino's hard-hitting strikes, An expression that reflects attention to every detail, and selling were superb. The technical moves Sekimoto occasionally displayed were also good. However, the match didn't quite live up to the quality of their previous singles bout. 6.5 points."

[7.0] "An enjoyable match between two great wrestlers, I am disappointed about the push of Ashino, but don't mind Daisuke going through tho"

[7.0] "A very physical match that started with some grappling, which was pretty good, and then moved on to some hard-hitting action with some more physical moves added in."

[7.0] "A fun match, very physical as you'd expect from these two. I'm just really sad to see how poorly Ashino has been booked for, what, the past two years now... Please, someone do something with this guy. He's far too talented to be stuck in the midcard. Pain. Also, that ankle lock reversed into a back suplex was fucking awesome!"

[7.0] "the match was kinda good, maybe a bit too slow to go higher in note but for a first round match in the middle of the card it was good enough"

[8.0] "Daisuke Sekimoto and Shotaro had a great match together, sadly it was only a first round match, so one of them was here lost in the first match, and that wrestler is Shotaro Ashino. Either way I was happy for the winner and sad for the looser. They always bring such a nice intensity in their fight, the typical kind of match that made me fall in love with japanese pro wrestling."
