[7.0] "Great slugfest under 10min between Shuji Ishikawa and Mohammed Yone, they fought like bulls, love those kind of hard hitting match by veterans, and it was short, very paced, and impactful, such a great rewatch for myself."
[7.0] "I haven't seen a whole lot of Yone or Ishikawa, but these two old bastards beat the crap out of eachother in a very solid match. I think the match would have benefitted greatly from more time to really build it up, but they did good for what they had. Will go check out more of their work after watching this."
[6.0] "[3.0*] Man, why was this match so short? It was just awesome while it lasted. Stiff strikes by both veterans, very believable action and a huge aura. I had a blast. It almost made my list, I just did not love the sudden ending."
[7.0] "My second best match of the night, this was incredible, when he's not doing some nasty stuff Ishikawa is really good, this brawl right here with Yone was amazing, two experienced veterans showing what real graps is, the facial expressions were awesome, both knew extremely well how to react during the match, the strikes were stiff as hell - {***1/4}"
[7.0] "Yone tried to push his limits and put up a fight against Ishikawa, but it looked like Ishikawa had no limiter in this match - eventually he got overwhelmed and finished by Ishikawa's Giant Slam. It's nice to see that not every match where babyface who's pushed against the wall inevitably makes a big comeback and prevails, life doesn't always work like that."
[6.0] "This was pretty mean, lots of really strong strikes, a clash of two old men with nothing but a passion for wrestling and hurting each other. There is not really more than that in this bout, it does feel a bit one dimensional, but the selling is pretty good and it is crazy to watch Ishikawa pull out a second rope dropkick in 2024. Ishikawa hits a Giant Slam to get the win and looks good in the process. Not a crazy good bout but pretty entertaining"
