Obviously this wasn't going to be the best match they've ever had together. It was still quite a good match though, with strong execution even though Sasuke was all banged up. Not much happened early, but it turned into a hot match when they went to their high spots. Delfin just went nuts with his Osaka rinkai (marine) uppers (upper blow), eventually pinning Sasuke after one. "I don't like Delfin, much less him doing his own 'fist of thunder' style move. He has nowhere near the fury that Jushin has when he does that spot," wrote Sam. I agree that Delfin doesn't have the power behind it that Liger does. Even if he did, I don't think the move can be done as well as the shotei because it's just not natural to do an uppercut style move when you are running. Of course, if you were to stop running before doing the uppercut, that would defeat the whole purpose of running in the first place but might bring you home best wrestling maneuver honors. 20:15 (12:23 aired)
