The match starts off slow as both men begin telling a physical story. Taz informs that sometimes you need to start a match hot, but other times it’s better to start slow and feel each other out. This allows the audience to build anticipation, making the finish of the match even more satisfying.
Taz points out that these two guys called this match in the ring – he can tell that just from watching it. He thinks it’s great that these guys could put together quality matches like this by calling it in the ring, and it’s obvious that they didn’t sit down with a Producer for hours before the match, scripting every single spot in the ring.
Although the match started slow, Taz knew it was only a matter of time before they picked things up. He points out that wrestling like sex. You start slow with foreplay before finally picking things up, and then eventually you reach the climax, or the finish of the match.
Taz says that Ibushi is the real deal and although he’s been around for a while, Taz isn’t sure that his style would translate to WWE. You can argue that Nakamura’s style hasn’t translated well to WWE either over the last couple of years, but at least Nakamura has shown a willingness to change and adapt to his new surroundings.
