Ryohei Oiwa vs. Yuya Uemura

omg that did NOT feel like 35 minutes at ALL, the pacing was so excellent and the camera crew did an incredible job capturing it all and strategically using zoom, crowd was losing their minds as were the japanese commentators which really just underscores how much of wrasslin is a spectator sport, I’m usually one for flashy shit but I loved that there were literally only like two splashes during the entire match, it kinda had an extra “RAAAAA FUCK YOU” vibe to it when they did happen, and I loved all the ways they were struggling to get in and out of the locks. just great energy on display and omg after the match the forehead touches while they’re both just dripping sweat 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 EMOCEANS, you just really felt the power throughout the whole match
