It was the same old guff from Michael Nakazawa against Sammy Guevara, as the Japanese wrestler incorporated his usual array of oil and underwear spots with no real variation or creativity, creating a situation where 'The Spanish God' would have been better off wrestling one of the many uncontracted talents brought in for Dark.

The joke remains the same every time out with Nakazawa, and it stopped being funny a long time ago.
