Just based on his exceptional ability in the ring along with unspectacular charisma, Bronson Reed seems like an ideal fit for New Japan Pro Wrestling. His character doesn't jump off the page, but he has proven to be a good worker who can produce quality bouts against an array of performers.

Tomohiro Ishii is among the best wrestlers in the world and has been for quite some time. The Stone Pitbull is very underrated, but he has proven time after time why he is an excellent in-ring performer. Whether it was against Kenny Omega or Minoru Suzuki, Ishii shows that he can achieve greatness against any type of opponent.

Tomohiro Ishii showed rare compassion for Jay WHite backstage last night. But after New Year Dash, and with no comments made to media, is the Switchblade already done? Watch: https://t.co/JvtbmHtgQ0#njpw #njdash pic.twitter.com/fGOwChri46

With two men with larger frames, this has all the makings to be a banger of a bout. Ishii is known for stiff strikes and an impeccable appetite for pain, while Bronson Reed has more than stood his own against other heavyweights on the independent scene and in NXT.

This is yet another contest where Bronson Reed's agility may be his key to victory, but Tomohiro Ishii will look to withstand anything and everything that The Colossal has to offer and keep moving forward. This will surely come down to who has the biggest threshold for punishment. Could Reed go strike-for-strike with Ishii? It makes for a battle of wills between these two beasts.
