Wouldn't be close if that manipulation king move wasn't involved.. it is for the weak manipulators who rely on nothing but cheating .. michael Todd also does the same until his opponent is drained from being 1 or 2 inches for the pad forever. This is real facts..

[@kyojurocamiguing5643]

sportsman like......... Don't get me wrong I love this match and both pullers but yoshi was scummy AF, count how many times he tries to push todd off the back of the pad hoping it won't be noticed. Now don't get me wrong and think i'm against it, just be honest about it at the least. Don't go into comments and selectively shit pin pullers for how they pull then praise others for doing the same thing.

[@rfdiego777]
