Been watching a lot of Shiozaki recently, that was not really intentional but not complaining. Masa really dominated this match he took the vast majority of it taking Go's left knee apart and go did well selling it. He barely ever did more than a couple of steps or shuffling to hit a move which … Continue reading Go Shiozaki Vs Masa Kitamiya NOAH 29/08/2019
This was the third of 4 matches between these two teams and the best of those matches. It was a great feud and the highlight of ajpw through 2014 and into 2015. Burning Wild were a not particularly long lived team where akiyama showcased again why he is one of the best tag wrestlers ever … Continue reading Burning Wild (Jun Akiyama & Takao Omori) Vs Xceed (Kento Miyahara & Go Shiozaki) RWTL Final 06/12/2014
The build up to this match started with an awful six man match where the crowd didn't care and go looked like he wanted to be anywhere else, it sucked. This was the complete opposite it was awesome. Kento outside of an awesome little section with Doering seemed like a bit part player compared to … Continue reading Xceed (Go Shiozaki & Kento Miyahara) c Vs Evolution (Joe Doering & Atsushi Aoki) AJPW Tag Titles 25/07/2015
I have never heard of let alone seen Hammerstone before he was announced as the MLW entrant for the N-1 Victory but based on this one match so far he is pretty good. I like his look, he looks proper mean and keeps that up the whole match which is nice. Most of his moves … Continue reading Go Shiozaki Vs Alex Hammerstone NOAH N-1 Victory 18/08/2019
A captains fall elimination match is a match where to win you have to pin the opposition captain you can beat the others and they are eliminated but you have to beat the captain to win. Not that that really mattered here as aoki pinned Go to win before anyone else not even Yohei had … Continue reading Evolution (SUWAMA (C) Joe Doering & Atsushi Aoki) Vs Go Shiozaki (C), Kento Miyahara & Yohei Nakajima Captains fall elimination match AJPW 8/07/2015
Kentos first shot at the triple crown comes 2 years before he would first win the vacant belt vs zeus. Here he is facing a different wrestler much larger and stronger than him but here unlike zeus it is sheer size rather than muscle that is the problem. Going in you know that Kento cant … Continue reading Akebono c vs Kento Miyahara AJPW Triple Crown Heavyweight Title AJPW 18/03/2014
This titles reign just keeps on getting better. In the biggest defense so far ANMU defend against the invading force from AJPW. unlike the previous two outside teams this one is treated as heels because well they are from AJPW. Right off the bat they set the tone, stiff and fairly uncooperative with full blown … Continue reading ANMU (Atsushi Aoki & Kotaro Suzuki) c vs Hiroshi Yamato & Shuji Kondo GHC Jr Heavyweight Tag Titles NOAH 14/02/2012
The third successful defense for ANMU (the second defense vs TMDK doesn't seem to be out there) is another vs a team from outside of NOAH, this time it is from Osaka Pro and a team that would go on to become stalwarts of the jr division in Kotoge and Harada. This match also continues … Continue reading ANMU (Atsushi Aoki & Kotaro Suzuki) c vs Momo No Seshin Tag (Atsushi Kotoge & Daisuke Harada) GHC Jr Heavyweight Tag Titles NOAH 22/01/2012
A far more low key title defense than the frankly boring big name title win vs KENTA & Kanemaru and one that was for the most part a bit better but sadly fell apart a bit at the end. Kenoh and Kenbai are both mainly mich pro workers at this point and there work in … Continue reading ANMU (Atsushi Aoki & Kotaro Suzuki) c vs Kenoh & Kenbai GHC Jr Heavyweight Tag Titles NOAH 29/10/2011
Unlike the Aoki Tribute match between the good Okada and Sato from a month ago which felt like a celebration of the man in a style of match that he would of had. This was a more standard but still pretty great interpromotional six man. It was built around the dysfunction of the Kento, Yuma … Continue reading Kento Miyahara, Yuma Ayoagi & Naomichi Marufuji vs Shuhei Taniguchi, SUWAMA and Shuji Ishikawa AJPW 11/08/2019
