(01/18) Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Rush

NJPW/CMLL
Korakuen Hall (Toyko, Japan)

As expected, Rush and Nakamura produced a hard-hitting match that was possibly a step below their match from last June in Mexico. Stylistically, these two are a good fit so an enjoyable match every time they meet is a safe bet which is exactly what they delivered on this night.

The crowd did not seem totally into this for whatever reason. The crowd was into Nakamura and not so much Rush despite Rush being the tecnico so maybe that played a role in the rather muted reaction. On three occasions, Nakamura avoided the Rush driver. He eventually hit the Boma Ye knee strike to pick up the win in a somewhat flat fashion.
