The world's strongest 54 year old man clashes with a "Muscle Volcano"
in one of my favourite sprints. It's funny, I mainly remembered the
match for them busting out a bunch of junior offence, and on a rewatch
that ruled too, but I also noticed other things that made the match as
badass as it is. Tenryu's facial expressions when Kensuke corners him
and starts pounding on him are a thing of beauty and really remind you
this man is old enough to be a grandparent, particularly how he'd act
like he was out of breath after being Lariated on the neck. Kensuke
winding up for a Lariat and then eating a punch just as he was about to
execute it ruled and the counter flash finish was great and caught me
off guard yet again, and as great as Tenryu is that kind of quick
counter really feels like the onyl way he could beat Kensuke at this
point. Hectically kicking the air while being pinned can look silly but
it was absolutely fitting here. Bonus points for Tenryu continuing to
sell after the match. ***3/4
