@kunalsummerDave Meltzer expects the match between Ryohei Oiwa and Yuya Uemura to perform very well in match of the year balloting. He notes that variety makes pro wrestling work, even if not everyone can pull off this style. A show in 1970 with every match this style wouldn't have worked, nor would it today. But it clearly worked for the specific show discussed. (WONF4W Daily Update)

Two male wrestlers are in a wrestling ring, holding hands up in victory. They are both sweaty and wearing wrestling gear. The wrestler on the left has red and blue trunks with a flame design, and the wrestler on the right has tan and black patterned trunks. Both are wearing white knee pads and tall white wrestling boots. The mood is triumphant and energetic, typical of a professional wrestling match. A red sign with "CARD OF THE ISSUE" is visible on the left side of the ring.
