HM: Masaaki Mochizuki & Takashi Yoshida vs. Bokutimo Dragon & Kota Minoura vs. Don Fujii & U-T

Fun match, surprised at how well Mochizuki and Yoshida are gelling as a team and I'm warming up to goofy babyface Yoshida. Just keep him away from singles maches.

MOTYC: Open the Brave Gate Championship - Keisuke Okuda vs. H・Y・O

Got-drat, this match was cool as hell. H・Y・O outdid my expectations and even the heel shenanigans were fun Doing the Eddie chair spot not to get your opponent DQd but to set up a ref bump so you have time to do a really stupid chair-assisted senton had me howling.

Seconding both of these. Got to agree with tag team babyface Yoshida, it's wild how fun he is, desperately appealing for Mochizuki's approval. Adorable goof, his redemption better not end anytime soon because it's the most interesting he's been in...I have no idea how long but a good while

Chase Owens vs David Finlay
Yoshi-Hashi vs Yujiro Takahashi
Toa Henare vs Jay White

You know what, gently caress it. I enjoyed all three of these matches. Henare/Jay was the best of the night but all three had some cool moments. probably the best Chase match I've seen since he moved up to heavyweight and my favourite Yujiro match since the G1 with Switchblade. I'm certain i'm overrating these because I like most of the guys involved (and don't particularly dislike Finlay or Henare) but screw it, I'm used to nominating things that don't make the end of year list.
