A month before KENTA has beaten Sugiura in a grueling, thirty minute
match to become the #1 contender for the GHC Heavyweight Championship.
You can see that tensions are still high even before the match, as their
postures and facial expressions tell you they're ready to duke it out,
and boy do they ever. This match is kind of like the world's most
awesome Pancrase sprint, as they just go out there and slap the hell out
of each other, but they don't just exchange strikes by doing the "I
strike you-you strike me" spot for two minutes before going to a finish,
they bust out combinations, duck, block and counter. KENTA stops for a
moment before the Go 2 Sleep, and it's uncertain whether KENTA was
genuinely unbalanced, selling his knee which was tapped up or the lines
blurred, but it's not even that important as the effect is the same. The
finish plays up the urgency really well, as it's not something usually
used as a finish, rather a swift adaption to the attacks and a more
definitive method than insisting on finisher spamming and a war of
attrition unfit for what they were going for here. All time great 2
minute sprint. ***3/4
