Daisuke Sekimoto vs Kohei Sato - ZERO1 Happy New Year 1/1/2019
Daisuke Sekimoto (c) vs. Kohei Sato

A back and forth "beat the fukk out of each other" 20 minute match. Not much more to it, pretty damn dope. Some of the exchanges were Sato did not give one single fukk about Daisuke's well being. Good crowd too.


Sekimoto's next challenger? Yuji Hino


EDIT: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES






EDIT 2: Nomura vs Abe on the same card can't wait for this fukking show

Judgement is awfully early this year.

No complaints especially with that triple tag match

Jado out here hypebeasting in the Supreme leather.

A Bullet Club x Supreme collab T-shirt is the inevitable cross pollinatiion of two inescapable brands that I can't believe they haven't done yet....

Good to see Tazz still getting work

Big Japan's 1/2 show is already up


Yuji Okabayashi, Ryuichi Kawakami & Kazumi Kikuta vs Hideki Suzuki, Takuya Nomura & Yoshihisa Uto - BJW 1/2/19

First show of the year and we already have a good ol' sub 13 minutes 6 man tag that will make you go this was mostly Okabayashi being a fukking beast and having dope exchanges with Suzuki and Nomura, which is exactly what you want to see. For some reason, Abby Jr. has taken a "mentorship" role for Moon Vulcan (Suzuki and Uto) which is hilarious because those two are now using chairs and low blows - they also did it on the 12/30 show - and you can tell they have no clue how to actually pull it off, just pure fukkery. I died at Yuji beating the fukk out of Nomura outside the ring and then chopping Abe to death when he tried to save his buddy, my man Yuji was not fukking around this night

Daisuke Sekimoto vs Ryota Hama - BJW Strong Heavyweight title 1/2/19

Coming into the match, Hama has beaten Sekimoto and Okabayashi with the Ookido press (just a simple splash) in the build up to this, so Daisuke and Korakuen know he has to avoid that shyt like his life depended on it. I love how Sekimoto sells the big moment from the get go, he makes you feel like he's gonna have his work cut out for him, and indeed it is. It's basically 15 minutes of "how the fukk is Daisuke gonna pull this one off?", with Hama doing a great job as the big fat ball of lard that can't be moved. There's a couple of incredible nearfalls that had Korakuen going insane, and the last few minutes with the whole place rallying behind the champ was just the cherry on top. Loved this match, legit MOTYC. @Scottie Drippin @3Rivers

I'm still going through the 2018 MOTYC thread I'm up to June and one thing's for sure: Someone in NXT needs to beat the indie out of Matt Riddle Dude can go full PWG in the blink of an eye and then keep going to the point of utter absurdity in a heart beat.

Io is rude as hell, she's gonna be concussing every woman in Largo.

Marufuji and his noodle arm still brings it when need be

Seemingly every promotion in Japan that isn't NJ needs an entirely new ref crew

I can not get into Dragongate at all. Idk why, the style really is pretty much the same as every where else just with more running between spots, but I just can't get interested in it one bit. Also noticing a lack of DDT/BJW on that list but what can ya do.

 

[Jmare007]

What list?

 

[stro]

Just watching the non-WWE/NJPW stuff as I'd already seen all of it anyway.

 

[Jmare007]

Of course that list wouldn't have DDT and BJW

 

[Jmare007]

Dope read about the UWF guys returning to New Japan in mid 80's
