Dragon Lee vs. KUSHIDA

[8.0] "This was good, I enjoyed everything these guys did. It had more story to it with both men targeting the others arms and trying to make each other tap until they hit desperation and just went for the win."

[8.0] "Impressive match between KUSHIDA and Dragon Lee here which probably could have been even better than this but turned out to be really excellent & exciting from bell-to-bell, but I mean what else can you expect when the best Junior of the last few years faces the new sensation Dragon Lee and the two can make magic together in the same ring. Of course they delivered what was expected of them, as I said they're capable of better and surely had a better match in them but there's no doubt that it was really something great to watch, a more than effective arm-work from KUSHIDA with some really catchy comebacks from Dragon Lee. Simple and easy formula, but it always works. It was rhythmic and the two had a very fluid chemistry, it seems like they had already faced each other a thousand times as the content was so damn smooth when it was actually the first time so it says a lot about their talent."

[6.0] "I almost feel like I'm underrating this match a lot, because they worked hard and did some great stuff. But it just didn't connect with me, at all."

[7.0] "Good match, with great back and forth action, crisp sequences, but also a couple of small botches and a somewhat abrupt ending. Still, this was a quality bout. ***3/4"

[8.0] "This was very good. My most waited match and it didn't disappoint. Very good back and forth action with a lot of good, fun counters and nearfalls. Crowd was into it. Although the ending was a bit anti-climactic, this was still enjoyable. Both had good tournament overall."

[8.0] "This was really good. These are two of the best in the world, and they also happen to have styles that work well together. Dragon Lee really was a workhorse in this thing, and KUSHIDA is always fantastic. This wasn't quite an elimination match, but whoever won would be in a clear position to make the finals, and the other would face a steep climb and need luck in how other matches play out. Both performers made the win feel important to them, and there was a good amount of drama and fan response on an otherwise small shot. Would love to see them get a match on a bigger stage, sometime."
