Toshiaki Kawada vs. Naoya Ogawa, from Pro Wrestling ZERO1 Infinity
It’s a shootfighter vs. a wrestler that once opted to piledrive someone despite his own broken arm. Kawada, of course, is incredible, making Ogawa look like a million bucks and putting over Ogawa’s STO finisher as death, and Ogawa needs all the help he can get because he doesn’t have much going for him besides the notoriety that comes with being a shootfighter. The script calls for him to sell his leg like Kawada’s trying to take it off, but Ogawa sells it like he’s got a nasty itch. A pretty good match, but there’s been better with this dynamic.
