Adam Brooks vs. Konosuke Takeshita, from the May 20, 2022 episode of DPW Fire

Given how these first time bouts on YouTube shows between workers with swiftly rising stock go, there were only two ways this was going to be booked and I’m glad they went with the hot sprint above an extended encounter that tried to get blood from a stone. It’s not a deep match nor the flashiest sequence of fireworks, but it is fun regardless, with the lack of proper narrative accidentally working to project an air of unpredictability. For a fed that is less than six months old, booking this match and having it be this good is victory enough.
