Them gaijin should be HONORED the 2017 Lou Thesz - Wrestler of the Year Award winner and longest reigning IWGP Champion grace them with his presence, even if it is to corner Gedo in a match.

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

There's the potential for a good 'Alan Partridge' style face character from this dude.



"Just move...

"

Some of the holds he's slapped on people in this tournament have been savage enough to have Suzuki like

Feel bad for Naito. You know we will lose in first round of NJC.

Predicted Gedo correctly, brehs.

dikk Togo vs. Takuya Nomura

Nice little match here with Togo da gawd doing a great control section over Nomura's leg after the young breh got a little too cocky. The comeback is done really well with Takuya fighting his ass off to try to even things out, loved his selling of the leg every time he connected a kick, it wasn't about fighting smart this time, he wanted to show Togo he could deliver damage no matter in how much pain he was in. Ending made sense. Hard not to have fun in these 12 minutes


Daichi Hashimoto vs. Takuya Nomura

HOLY fukk. I felt like a proud dad watching this brehs. Daichi starts the match like thinking he might pull this of off the strength of him being the champ and Nomura still being below him on the totem pole. But Takuya has had some really tough tests coming into the tournament against Abe and Togo so he has NO TIME for Daichi's lazyness, he kicks and bytchslaps Hashimoto like he ain't shyt, forcing the champ to take him seriously from the get go. There's a ton to love about this, from the crowd LOVING Nomura from the minute zero and craving for an upset to Daichi's selling and portrayal of a legit champ - I legit almost shed a tear when he did the "get pissed off and karate chop THE fukk outta your opponent to show him who you are" spot that his daddy did so fukking well - to Nomura's fire and not give a fukk attitude. He knows he's faced stronger competition than Daichi so he fukking goes for the W like a madman. Finish could've been a little better but it served it's purpose. GO WATCH THIS shyt @Don Ibiza Ibrahimovic @Ace of the Metropolitan @trick and I'm still waiting y'alls reaction to Nomura vs Abe



Strong BJ keeps on delivering

Breh, I don't even know who this dude is...I'll watch this though

I thought Togo moved to Vietnam to train kids to wrestle...I was actually looking for that indy that runs out of a warehouse in Saigon

Watch the Abe match first my breh, I'm almost positive you are gonna really enjoy it

Here's the link

Fuminori Abe vs. Takuya Nomura

ps: Togo has the most random appearances. It's like he makes a few shows touring around different companies for a little while and then he goes away again.

That was a fantastic match. If this happened in New Japan, people would be going nuts over it. I liked that both guys didn't have to resort to no selling to look strong, and they made everything look so smooth.

It was like a beautiful mix of bati bati and Strong BJ

Daisuke Sekimoto vs Hideki Suzuki - Big Japan 3/11/18
Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Hideki Suzuki

Another short fun match from the Strong Climb tournament. This is pretty much the same 1/3 they did last year in march in the draw that I fukking loved. It's 12 minutes of these two just wrestling - there's like 5 strikes total in this and in the last minute we get like 2 or 3 lariats - and struggling to get control. One of those "every move counts" type of match that I like more and more as I get older. If you expect bomb throwing and stiff strikes don't bother watching this though.


ps: Kamitani vs Nakanoue from the same show was fine, too long to recommend though.
