Earlier this year Suzuki attempted to dissect Okada. He spent forty minutes bending and grinding his leg in all manner of horrible ways. It wasn’t enough, though. The 'Rainmaker' was a touch too tough and he was able to survive the disturbed medical examination to pick up the win.

So this time around, Suzuki decided to do something a bit different. He decided to slap Okada silly instead. And if we know one thing about Suzuki, it’s that he is really good at slapping people. For half an hour he gave Okada everything he had, but once again it wasn’t enough.

There was a difference this time, though. Because rather than recovering to get the win, Okada collapsed from exhaustion and for the second time this year fought to a draw as the clock ran out. Suzuki didn’t get the victory but perhaps more importantly neither did the champ and you wonder whether he’ll have to go through one more bout of hell with Minoru before this is all said and done.
