Hikaru Sato & YASSHI vs. Ikuto Hidaka & Thanomsak Toba

[10.0] "First of all, I would like to remind you that Hidaka was 51, Toba was 48, Sato was 43 and Yasshi was 41 and they managed to create one of the best grappling matches in history in a quarter of an hour. Toba has the heaviest punches and everyone should know that and with his brother Yasshi they were able to put on a crazy show of heavy blows. Sato and Hidaka also showed off a great grappling match that included both submissions and heavy blows that I don't need to explain at all."

[5.0] "The match went up a notch when Sato and Hidaka got in the ring, then when Toba and Sato started trading blows. Those headbutts when the bandana came off from YASSHI were gnarly sounding. Really slick finish from Sato. Decent match, nothing about it really blew me away though."

[4.0] "Strikes were alright but basic, and the grappling is just okay. Like I said, the strikes were alright but I enjoyed them still. Hard and ferocious they were. Not much to say about this match, it features one re-playable moment of just a deadly German suplex where YASSHI gets dumped down brutally. Will never watch this again."

[7.0] "Exciting tag team match with fast grappling, stiff strikes and a couple big moves. Brother YASSHI obviosuly wrestles a more traditional puroresu style, his only contributions being some decent grappling, a cool shoot headbutt spot, and getting dropped on his head by a tasty high-angle backdrop from Hidaka. The latter also blasts Mitsuri Sato with a brutal roundhouse kick, but Sato replies with a Death Valley Driver and after some dramatic submission attempts, gets the tap out victory."

[9.0] "Maybe my favourite match of the card. Unrelenting savagery, that counter from the kick to the head into the Ankle Lock was so smooth that I almost leapt out of my chair. Such excellent violence, perfectly paced, got the job done with style in under 11 minutes. Very very impressed and will need to check out more from all men."

[8.0] "This match ruled. This was the second time I watched Toba with first being the tag match from DDT 22 years ago where he teamed with Tsunehito Naito against Tomohiko Hashimoto and Tomohiro Ishii ( fantastic tag match ). He reminds me of Takeshi Ono from Battlarts and Fu-ten who also wore gloves and smacked dudes with his punches. He threw some killer punches here as well. The HEADBUTTS and punches battle against YASSHI was brutal. Also loved the punches he gave YASSHI in the earlier part. Hidaka and Hikaru did some good grappling and Hidaka attacked the limbs of Hikaru. Loved the Dragon screw by Hidaka and also when he tried for another one later in the match Hikaru blocked it and went for the arm bar. Hikaru was very determined to make Hidaka submit to the Kimura. I liked him dropping bombs and then following with the Kimura untill he tapped him out. Overall a fun match where everyone put on something worth watching. 7.50"

[8.0] "Coming into this I didn't expect much. I don't know anything about "brother" YASSHI. And I know Thanomsak Toba is an old school DDT dude with boxing gloves, I get the feeling inmate CFOS probably likes him, he's got that vibe. Hikaru Sato is pretty cool, I don't like him as most people who love him, but I think he's good. Ikuto Hidaka rules and has had resurgence after his boring ass NOAH run. Here he's wearing kickpads which feels.. off, I'm used to him in the sneakers. But what I got was a great fun match. YASSHI came in swinging with those headbutts made me a fan instantly. Toba had some great punches living up to his gimmick. Hidaka was great on the mat even delivering a sick german suplex. Sato was also fantastic on the mat and even threw in a Death Valley Bomb. Awesome Match."
