Ugh.

This was exactly what you imagine.

Comedy is the most subjective thing in wrestling. If you like Michael Nakazawa doing the same oil routine he does in every single match, without any nuance or craft, and are really into Marko Stunt, watch it. Otherwise, get the hell out of here. It'll make you want to go on a wrestling detox.

Marko took a roll-up victory after dropkicking Nakazawa's rancid underwear into his face, because of course that's how this match ended. Hard pass.
