Daisuke Sekimoto (c) vs. Hideki Suzuki, BJW Ikkitosen Deathmatch Survivor Night 7, March 30, 2017

After their time limit draw on March 5, Sekimoto and Suzuki agreed to have a rematch at the end of March. They start the match with a feeling out process, and Suzuki is able to turn a headscissors into a foot crank. Sekimoto is able to roll Suzuki into a pin, but Suzuki gets his foot on the rope. These are two large men working a match using the most basic fundamentals of grappling, setting a different pace than the usual hoss bomb exchange. Sekimoto cranks back on an elbow lock, and Suzuki rolls him up to break the hold. There is a lot more mat-based work in this match than the last, which doesn’t necessarily play into Sekimoto’s favor.

Suzuki provokes Sekimoto with a slap to the face, and they start a standing strike exchange. Suzuki runs at Sekimoto, so Sekimoto counters by hip tossing him over the top rope. Sekimoto tries to follow up with a tope suicida, but Suzuki elbows Sekimoto in the face as he leaps. Already, we have a bigger spot than we had in the first match. 

Sekimoto powers out of an abdominal stretch, so Suzuki pounces on him with a cravate. Sekimoto tries to power out with a powerslam, but Suzuki holds on to the cravate and hits a neckbreaker. Into the corners, and Suzuki dodges a Sekimoto dropkick. Suzuki tries to block the Boston crab, including rubbing his taped wrists over Sekimoto’s mouth, but he is forced to reach the ropes to escape. Suzuki is trapped in the torture rack, but he counters this time with a kimura and an armbar. Sekimoto escapes with a powerslam, and Suzuki hits a belly to belly suplex from the middle rope to counter Sekimoto’s splash attempt. Again, we have much bigger spots in this match than in the first. 

Suzuki dodges one lariat, but Sekimoto is able to hit one with his other arm. Before Sekimoto can follow up, Suzuki knocks him down with an elbow strike. 

Sekimoto goes back to his wheelhouse and hits a German suplex. Suzuki blocks his deadlift German suplex and traps him in an octopus hold. Sekimoto uses his superhuman power to walk from the middle of the ring to hard camera side ropes to break the hold, but Suzuki is still in position to hit the full nelson suplex. An elbow strike gets Suzuki a two count, and Sekimoto is dazed. Another elbow strike, a jumping kick, and a butterfly suplex score the win and the title for Suzuki in a much better match than their first match on March 5. 

This match seemed more directed because they weren’t working towards a time limit draw. In this case, the two men didn’t feel like they were exchanging offense to how even they were. Instead, Suzuki and Sekimoto could tell a clearer story about how Sekimoto didn’t learn anything from their first match, while Suzuki learned enough to counter what Sekimoto can do and to avoid mistakes that he made in the first match. He used more explosive offense and took more chances in the match, and even Sekimoto’s legendary strength was not enough.
