WRESTLE-1 Title Match: Shotaro Ashino vs. Jiro "Ikemen" Kuroshio 36:07. It's awesome seeing two wrestlers in their mid 20's having an epic world title match at a midsized arena (albeit less than half full). As with the DDT 4/29/17 Konosuke Takeshita vs. Tetsuya Endo broadway, the match was way too long for them, but it was fantastic seeing them try something so far out of the box. The previous longest W1 title match was Masayuki Kono taking the title from Daiki Inaba at 22:14 on 11/2/16, and Ashino's previous 4 title matches averaged about 19 1/2 minutes, so while something in this range would likely have been a more reasonable length for tonight's match, you have to give them credit for even trying something 50% longer. This was a fun main event that you really wanted to love between wrestlers who most likely haven't reached their peak & actually could be a lot better in a few years. I'm no expert on either wrestler, but I felt like the issue here was how to meld their styles into something that would work, especially over such a lengthy title match. Ashino seems more a solid old school power wrestler, with "Master of Suplex" printed on his tights in suitable Metallica font, playing off the great title track of their next to last relevant CD. He's the source of Kuroshio's self destruction early & often, including a sweet gutwrench suplex off the apron & an avalanche style German, with Kuroshio being an awesome bumping machine for him, but Ashino's style doesn't really want a high pace, whereas Kuroshio is a transposed luchador who wants kinetic motion & tends to fall into playing with his suit jacket during the deadtime. Ashino dominated with his methodical style, and while he did a pretty good job both with his own offense & of carrying the match, Kuroshio clearly isn't the ideal opponent for this pace a match. The individual segments were all good, but much of the match had a disjointed feel because they weren't flowing from one sequence to the next & it tended to drag between the suplexes & flying moves. The final third was considerably better in all regards, and not really because they upped the quality of the moves, but rather because they decreased the time between them which made everything fall into place. Asahi injured Kuroshio's knee in their 1/8/17 match, putting him out for almost 5 months & forcing him to vacate the Fighting Entertainment TV Title. Asahi is a Muto trainee, and immediately went after the knee with all his old school contortions that have no real world application. Though this would have been a logical story, luckily it was just something they put out early & went back to once in a while because Ashino wants to win with the ankle lock anyway. Kuroshio is a Tajiri trainee, and the match got interesting when they started doing lucha, with Ashino getting to the apron before Kuroshio could get his dive off & trying to German suplex Kuroshio to the floor, but getting headscissored off instead. Ashino isn't going to do this style all night, but did well in all the bits they incorporated. The most spectacular spot was actually early on when Kuroshio hit an amazing moonsault off the balcony. It took way too long to setup given Ashino wasn't actually hurt, but what was cool about it is Ashino climbed up the wall then did a quasi high-wire walk across the railing. Kuroshio tried rolling & kicking his way out of the ankle hold, but Ashino recorded his 4th successful defense when Kuroshio finally succumbed. ***1/2
