Zero-One - Masato Tanaka vs Alexander Otsuka (2003)

I came across this channel with tons of early 00's Puro. I came across this match and wanted to watch it. I have not seen a lot of Alexander Otsuka matches, but have liked what I have seen.

This match was pretty cool in general. They got across that Tanaka wanted to beat Otsuka's brains in and that Otsuka was only looking to survive.

They go outside and the referee is counting. Which throws up a warning flag for a bullshit finish.

I don't mind a count out or double count out. But I can't think of a single one I have seen in a Japan match in the 90s or 2000s.

Otherwise I thought it was cool that Otsuka was willing to settle for a tie.
