Aye brehs, go to RealHero and enjoy with me :ahh:

Daichi Hashimoto & Hideyoshi Kamitani (Okami) vs Naoya Nomura & Yuma Aoyag - All Japan Real World Tag League Final day 12/12/17


Well I'll be damned this was awesome :krs: a young guys matchup - Big Japan's team are 25 year old each while All Japan's is 22 each - for a shot at the tournament finals. It was weird but dope watching Okami having to work as the imposing, invader team and they pretty much work a cosplay Strong BJ formula match and it fukking works, with them mostly working over Yuma and trying to keep Nomura at bay. This was 14 minutes long but felt longer (in a good way) with a jam packed Korakuen Hall growing more and more invested in Aoyag and his battle to get the home team the W. Even though he was mostly limited to hot tags and leveling the playing field, you can tell Nomura is gonna be special and that the Sumo Hall performance/showcase was not a fluke, crowd was solidly behind him and you could feel the young breh being a force that the BJW team didn't want much do with. A couple of cool nearfalls and spots that didn't rely on excess and over doing stuff. This was such a joy to watch, I was happy as fukk watching such young dudes delivering like this :blessed:


Suwama & Shuji Ishikawa vs Kento Miyahara & Yoshytatsu - All Japan Real World Tag League Final day 12/12/17

So this worked as Semifinal #2 given the results of the other matches. It took a while, pretty much half of the match (like 12 minutes) to get this thing really going as Suwama and Shuji working over Yoshi was nothing to write home about, pretty basic stuff without anything compelling happening. Once Kento gets the hot tag though, the match really starts going places, as the action picks up and Korakuen begins to come alive. The last 7 or so minutes are fun as fukk with a red hot crowd and a lot of stiff and high impact action. This did had the excess the previous match didn't but it worked as the crowd loved it - me not so much, didn't like the trading suplex and fighting spirit spots, but whatever - and helped build more drama. Loved the dynamic between Kento and Yoshi, Miyahara was like "COME ON BREH YOU CAN DO THIS :damn: I CAN'T DO EVERYTHING, GOTTA HOLD SHUJI DOWN SO WE HAVE A SHOT, LET'S GOO :damn:!!". All in all, this was too long and "meh" for a pretty significant portion, but the second half of the match is worth a watch :ehh:



The Final was fine, it was a fun enough sprint but the crowd was clearly spent and both teams had used their best ideas/stuff in their previous matchups :manny:

Koalabama and the Cosmos
Man, Okada/Shibata was clearly better than all 3 Kenny/Okada matches. A completely different level of storytelling and emotion.

I'm saying:mindblown:

Looking back at that match, it just felt like a typical NJPW main event with that OMG spot of the table and Okada damn near getting paralyzed by that suplex from the top rope. Bata/Okada felt like a big fight feel :ahh:. Straight up prize fighter shyt.

Tokyo Sports award are more similar to PWI rankings than legit "best of" awards, the WK match winning ain't that surprising :manny:

Suwama & Shuji have been tagging since middle of October and won :mjlol: :dead:

Did you watch breh? What did you think? :feedme:

Could Onita be in the HOF:ohhh:

The only footage they could use would be his matches in Memphis :pachaha:

Cokeboy would go :picard: ::camby: at all the crazy shyt Onita's done.

Vince met with him a few times in the 90s to possibly set up a joint show. They also own his Florida run, but lol at the idea of putting a dude in the HOF with essentially zero American presence. Like putting Hashimoto in the HOF for his Stampede excursion run.

On the other hand, imagine FMW on WWE Network :mjlol:
