Most of the match is worked in Nishimura's style, lots of matwork and
spots you're used to seeing in his matches like the neck bridge test of
strength and so on, Sasaki mostly plays along and occasionally utilizes
his strength to escape Nishimura's holds, which is the only thing
setting it apart from the usual Nishimura sequences. The finish leans
more towards Kensuke's style, as he takes the initiative and starts
rocking Nishimura with bigger moves while Nishimura tries to avoid them
and utilize his throwback techniques like Cobra Cluthes, the Octopus
Stretch, Inoki's low kicks from the Ali fight and so on to fight back.
Both guys are good at whey to but it felt like they needed a few more
years of seasoning to really mesh in a way that could produce greatness.
