Wow! Samurai getting a win! What's going on? I like the guy, but he's been jobbbbbbed to death.

And glad to hear that Akebono looked good.

Hisa, any news on the finisher used by Tenzan and Chono? I read that it was Chono's Yakuza Kick and something else by Tenzan?

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

Tenzan gave a lariat from behind, and then Chono did the shining yakuza kick.
