#2 Worst: The Junior Heavyweights disappoint

I think that Taiji Ishimori is one of the best professional wrestlers in the world. I have the utmost of respect for Kushida as well. I just thought that the two men did not have the chemistry required for a stage like this.

Once again, this wasn't a bad match by any stretch of the imagination. But the Junior Heavyweights have always been the high-flying section of NJPW, much like the Cruiserweights were in WCW. If you consider that aspect, I thought that both men were disappointing.

Maybe the bar has been set too high thanks to the likes of Will Ospreay, who's put on some of the best Jr. Heavyweight matches in history. Unfortunately, during the course of this particular match, I found my attention drifting. Maybe it was the match placement, but these two men did not steal the show like they should have.
