Kaito Ishida & KAZMA SAKAMOTO vs. KING Shimizu & Susumu Yokosuka

[8.0] "A very good match with a upset victory for Natural vibes. Shimizu played the role of a game-changer or X-factor due to his size advantage. The match had a well synchronized and chronological flow as it started off from a medium pace to a more fastened sort of action towards the end. Ishida's arsenal of kicks were stiff and pleasurable to watch. He has a variety of moves in that department. Shimizu pulled off good power moves and Susumu connected with sweet lookin' lariats, very impactful too. Two spots in particular stood out to me, this includes the German suplex and exploder combo by Natural Vibes and the pop-up lariat by Natural vibes as well. Ishida and Yokosuka stood out the most for me and Sakamato really did not offer much but blended well into his role in the match. Good stuff and pleasing all round action .****1/4"

[7.0] "If I'm understanding well, Shimizu is taking his revenge about former RED allies. That was well done, I feel he was on a mission to make them pay. Natural Vibes are very cool by the way. Very effective match as Shimizu was, he's quite a good big man. Sakamoto and Ishida were good as well, wanted to humiliate their former ally. As for Yokozuka, he was at some moments very impactul as everybody managed to create chemistry with the other."

[7.0] "One of the better matches tonight. KING Shimizu was my favourite there. Since he became KING, he is delivering great performances each time."

[10.0] "Just tag team wrestling at its finest, great team work and great near falls, genuinely Susumu is one of the most underrated wrestlers in the world right now, i can't wait for the NV twin gate reign"

[7.0] "It's amazing what Shimizu has been able to do. Everyone thought his big accomplishments were over with the Bokutimo Dragon Gimmick. It was designed a comedy gimmick and that could limit someone, no matter the success or failure of it but he comeback with honestly a sillier gimmick and look and was able to slot back into where he was as Big R Shimizu, alongside a partner challenging for the Twin Gate titles. And this is a good match to really solidify that as it's against R. E. D, the group that kicked him out and embarrassed him enough to find solace in a parody gimmick. And who is better for a partner than Susumu Yokosuka? The match had strong performances from all four men. Ishida and Sakamoto are great at cutting off their opponent's momentum with quick, effective strikes and double team moves and Shimizu and Susumu are great at pushing through that, and it made for a compelling back and forth bout. While it wasn't a great twin gate title match, it was an impressive one. I recommend this. ***1/2"

[8.0] "Good tag with nice basics; shitty heels with back up against faces. Shimizu was the stand out for me. His size and style clashes with what I think of when I hear Dragon Gate but it clashes in a great way, and that chokeslam finish looks real gnarly."

[8.0] "Another good match from the 'refreshed' Shimizu, who absolutely deserved the victory after his hardest redemption. Kaito and Kazma made a good heelwork there, as always, and Susumu was good too."

[7.0] "Another very good match here, with a great storytelling. KING Shimizu finally taking his revenge against R. E. D was an excellent feel good moment, especially after the flour spot that was a very good reference to the Dangerous Gate 2020, where Shimizu didn't arrive to win even with this advantage. Here, he is the one who took the spot, and the one who won. Ishida did some very impactful kicks as always, his exchanges with Yokosuka were very interesting. ***3/4"
