Jeff Cobb (4) vs. Shingo Takagi (4)
The match started slowly with a session of shoving, but Cobb’s dropkick put him in control. He followed up with a suplex but once Takagi had locked Cobb’s leg in a hold that ate at Cobb’s energy.
Still, Cobb was able to deliver another suplex and attempted a pinfall on Takagi. Cobb became angry as Takagi focused on his tender knee, taking the momentum into his favour.
Whenever Cobb flies, it’s fun, but when he no-sells huge moves, it’s so much more enjoyable when he does take a move dramatically. He didn’t no-sell Takagi’s suplex from the second rope, however, and both men looked shocked when Cobb kicked out of two pinfall attempts.
Takagi delivered a noshigami but Cobb got his shoulder up from the mat once more. Cobb got to his feet and let his bulk absorb Takagi’s attacks, completing his own Tour of the Islands finisher to attempt a pinfall.
Takagi rallied with a crucifix bomb and Made in Japan finishing move. Cobb got up and the men traded finisher attempts. Cobb was successful in hitting his Tour of the Islands finisher and putting Takagi away!
Results: Jeff Cobb (6) def. Shingo Takagi (4) via pinfall
