FREEDOMS - 7/13/2016 - THE SCISSORS DEATH MATCH & Gusset Plates - Kenji Fukimoto vs Masashi Takeda

I did a podcast on this match here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg2iPii94J8

Oh boy, the Gusset Plates make their return. You do not want to mess with these things. I did some previous Gusset Plate match reviews and these get ugly. See here:

This match also introduced the scissors which are pretty disgusting as well:

Takeda with the blonde/brown hair and Fukimoto with the facepaint and long black hair

Ladies, he's single

Masashi Takeda

He missed the shot as the scissors fell

Keep an eye on the scissors in the next shot

Cool idea on paper, but a stupid spot in execution as Fukimoto ends up just butt dropping himself on the gusset plates

The finish

Masashi Takeda beat Kenji Fukimoto at 13:57 with his finisher on a board of scissors. Pretty much just a stunt show hardcore match with little substance, little wrestling and no build to the various spots. It wasn't the worst thing ever but there was very little resistance to a lot of the moves and they were going for cool kodak moments here above all else. It was little more than a freak show, but on the freak show scale, they did pretty good. The scissors were a neat original idea but they don't really stick in the skin like the thumbtacks or sharp sticks do, so it doesn't look as wild. If you are checking this out, it's for the scissors and nothing else.
