Yuma Vs SUWAMA is Amazing!!! The first few minutes of this match were just ok at most, they did a bit of feeling out and then the dull brawl around rringside and slamming the head into the east and west sign. But then after that it was SUWAMA and Yuma in the ring and for … Continue reading Kento Miyahara & Yuma Aoyoagi Vs SUWAMA & Shuji Ishikawa RWTL 11/11/2019
I have watched only one Takeshita match before, it was also Vs HARASHIMA and was from a couple of years ago now. It was a fairly shit match and that was down to Takeshita who was awful. So it is fair to say that going in I had a fairly low opinion of him and … Continue reading Konosuke Takeshita (openweight) Vs HARASHIMA (extreme) ko-d openweight title Vs DDT extreme title 3/11/2019
60 minutes of bleh. These two have had a couple of great matches in 2004, and 2 in 2006. This one though the follow up to the infamous ghc title match from October 2006 is even longer at a 60 Broadway and far less interesting. Here there was nothing of note until 40 minutes in. … Continue reading Naomichi Marufuji (AJPW) Vs KENTA (GHC) AJPW jr championship Vs GHC jr championship NOAH 25/10/2008
The main event of the Misawa memorial event. This was pretty great, I watched this once a good few years ago but on rewatch it is great. What makes it great is pretty much all due to Saito, he is one of the most underrated wrestlers ever and a all time great offence wrestler. Everything … Continue reading Go Shiozaki c Vs Akitoshi Saito GHC Heavyweight title NOAH 27/09/2009
This was the semi main event of the Misawa memorial event in budokan. They worked this as a fun fan pleasing six man. With funny spots such as Mutoh grabbing a chair to fight Kobashi because he can't beat him on his own. Move stealing with Taue doing a shining wizard. It was fun, nothing … Continue reading Kenta Kobashi & Yoshihiro Takayama Vs Keiji Mutoh & Akira Taue NOAH 27/09/2009
Misawa at this point is old, broken down and can't do all that much outside of elbows and throwing his body at his opponent. So what do they do? They use that for the story of the match, Misawa knows he can only really do elbows and can't lift Morishima up for any throws so … Continue reading Mitsuharu Misawa c Vs Takashi Morishima GHC Heavyweight title 02/03/2008
Kento Miyahara has been my favourite wrestler in 2016,2017,2018 but not 2019. He has not had a great year compared to the previous three. His matches have gone from lasting around 21 minutes in his first title reign to nearly 30 most of the time. What those earlier matches had that was their best attribute … Continue reading Kento Miyahara c Vs Jake Lee ajpw triple crown title 24/10/2019
This was not very good it was a fairly boring hardcore match. It was ok if it finished after ten or so minutes when they did the suplex onto the ladder in the corner. But no they had to go another 15+ minutes and it was really plodding and dull after that. First time seeing … Continue reading Kenny omega Vs Joey Janela aew dark
In the build up to this tournament I had this down as the final and had Kenoh winning in what would be a big moment building from his loss of the title to Sugiura in early 2018. This would be his first win against him and feel really worthwhile. Instead it was dull lifeless and … Continue reading Kenoh Vs Takashi Sugiura NOAH N-1 Victory final 16/09/2019
After defeating Sasaki SUWAMA's first defence was against another type of wrestler. Not a flamboyant arrogant outsider like Tanahashi or a big hoss like Sasaki but someone who would test SUWAMA's smarts as a wrestler and his very fundamental matwork skills. Someone like Nishimura. Nishimura if pretty great, he looks like a middle age man … Continue reading SUWAMA C Vs Osamu Nishimura AJPW Triple Crown Heavyweight title 28/06/2008
