Definitely a match for fans of old-school mat grappling, as Nagata was a very accomplished amateur wrestler and Aoki is an MMA legend.
It’s basically a match all built around struggle and who can impose their will on the other, as Nagata finds himself often at the mercy of the younger and more proficient Aoki.
Crowd was also very split, with chants for both men ringing out.
This match also has me dying for a Aoki vs ZSJ match.
