Cobb is a suplex specialist and Goto is a wall of a man, so the grapplers would need to pull a little deeper from their toolboxes to gain the upper hand. Red Shoes Unno refereed.

Cobb and Goto locked up trading holds in the middle of the ring before they foiled finisher attempts from each other. Cobb doesn't ever look as fast as he is, and he used that surprising speed to take the lead both inside and outside of the ring.

The moment Goto got space between them, he was able to meet Cobb more equally with a nasty slam and a 2-count. Cobb still threw Goto around with a Spin Cycle, tenderizing him in a series of chest chops and clotheslines.

Cobb didn't relent, but he also wasn't able to keep Goto down for a full 3-count. He began risking more, bringing Goto up on the ropes for a deadlift superplex. It was beautiful, but it too didn't bring Cobb the win.

A Yushiguroshi from Goto to Cobb in response to an attempted Tour of the Islands brought them back to earth. Cobb's forearms were matched to Goto's kicks, and when Goto's reverse GTR finisher connected, he was able to get his shoulders off of the mat.

They made each other angrier by the second, reversing finishers and kicking out, but Goto was faster. He completed the GTR and pinned Cobb cleanly.

Results: Hirooki Goto (8) def. Jeff Cobb (6) via pinfall
