Daisuke Sekimoto vs Shota Umino - New Japan Lion's Gate 5/15/18

at the fan singing and humming along Sekimoto's theme, that alone makes this worth a watch. This was exactly what you want from a match like this: Daisuke smashes puny young lion, who has to mount a fiery comeback that leads to the finish. And of course it works because it's Sekimoto and this is what he does best. He was over as fukk with the crowd, but 4 minutes in and he has the entire building pulling and chanting for Shota

who by the way did a very good job bumping and showing fire, which are 2 of the 3 things required to make this type of match work. Didn't like his selling very much as he just kinda shrugged everything off once it was time for his comeback, had he sold the earlier beating better this match could've been something else, he sold better for the last few minutes and it made his struggle feel more real. All in all it was VERY fun match and the crowd at Shijuku was fukking lit. Cetainly worth a watch for the brehs,
@SubZeroDegrees I know you'll like this
This made it even more obvious that booking Daisuke and his gang would do wonders for the NEVER "division" in New Japan. I hope it leads to that and it's not just a one shot.
