I guess it would behoove you to protect yourself from the coolest wrestler on earth if you want to maintain your Sanada Support.

A fun, hard hitting match. TIL that this is Death Yama-san's company.

I keep forgetting that YMZ starting doing the ChocoPro "matches on youtube" thing around the same time Yoneyama was around for a ChocoPro tag match.
Hopefully checking this match out will make me solidly remember.

I'll go HM for Archer/Fenix only because I feel like they just missed their peak and were rushing to the finish before going off the air (for a second I thought they were going to a draw to pay off that "TV time remaining" thing they've set up since the beginning of Dynamite and haven't done yet, but then it just ended so oh well).

Mox vs. Pac 1 went to a TV Time limit draw, Mox called it bullshit to the camera to end the show.

It was a DDT show yes. In fact all TJPW, DDT and NOAH matches should be filed under "CyberFight" imho because it's technically correct, it'll make categorising CyberFest matches easier and most importantly, it'll make it easier to beat NJPW.

This is the real poo poo.
