Yeah, I've gotten so tired of WWE's Harlem Globetrotters ass performance wrestling that this old school Japanese wrasslin' shyt is exactly what I need. Between his matches against Hideki Suzuki and the Zero1 championship match against Kohei Sato earlier this month I'm all team Daisuke.

I'm trying to catch up on all the AJPW championship matches of 2018 as well so when I get around to that I'll probably delve into his older stuff.

@TrueEpic08 you should check it out too breh.

@TheGodling @krackdagawd @stro give it a shot brehs, you'll most likely enjoy it.

Watched this this morning.

Absolute piff. Was thoroughly surprised that a near 30 minute tag team match didn't drag.

Also, fukking Korakuen anything that happens there gets an automatic extra point/star, whatever just off atmosphere.

Strong BJ vs Violent Giants - All Japan Tag Titles, BJW 1/13/19

AHHHHHHHHH !!!! One of those matches were your expectations are sky high and they are fully met and even surpassed. 26 minutes of a fukking war between four dudes that do not care one bit about the other team. This was worked like an interpromotional match should be, with the home team from a smaller promotion having to fight from underneath all night and having to reach deep just to reset the action to a leveled playing field. Suwama and Shuji are perfect as the dominant champs, it's not easy to make Strong BJ look like underdogs, specially on a long match, but they dominated them for 3/4 of the match and not only it made sense, but it was compelling to watch. Daisuke - the man who's celebrating his 20th anniversary on this show - is the face in peril, and as his matches from the previous week against Sato and Hama showed. he's awesome at selling the beating with his facial expressions and body language. With Sekimoto only trying to survive the onslaught, Yuji is left as the savior of the team and boy does he show up, we get EXTRA FIRED UP YUJI the strikes, the suplexes, the lariats are all done with such passion and intensity that you can't help but love this dude. Still, Violent Giants are not to be fukked with so Okabayashi's hot tag doesn't have a lasting effect, the timing of their cut offs were perfect every single time, to the point Korakuen was booing Suwama every time he was on top because he was spoiling their fun. At some point to whole crowd booes them because they want Strong BJ to comeback so bad but Shuji and Suwama are just too damn good. Strong BJ's struggle to stay in the fight is so well done by both team that when they reach the "double German suplex" spot you are rooting for it like a little kid. The ending is so satisfying you legit feel like

There's excess in this match but I had zero problem with it. The two times there's blatant no selling because of a fighting spirit spot was either still sold (Yuji acting on instinct, barely standing) or was a set up for a comeback (Shuji getting crushed by Daisuke's lariat). And all the nearfalls were fitting for an interpromotional title match, besides almost all of them were credible and well done, Korakuen was going nuts at some of them. And even with all of that, they find the time to do do little things like Suwama's desperate attempt to avoid Yuji to gain momentum on the ropes, or Shuji refusing to get suplexed, and Strong BJ's selling of the beating and moment.

Yes it's only January but this is match of the fukking year by far, and best the thing I've seen in like 7 months and probably more @3Rivers @Scottie Drippin @MightyHealthy @Makai Club @Ace of the Metropolitan @Beautiful Bobby Eatin @trick @SubZeroDegrees @PlayerNinety_Nine @Legal @WaveMolecules y'all gotta watch this shyt. I'll post the link as soon as there is one

Uploaded it for anyone having trouble downloading.

This match was dope. It was on from Yuji hot tag to the ending.

How you can't tell me Shuji is the best big man in wrestling? Every lariat and knee strike had purpose

Strong BJ played the underdog role to perfection.

Biggest Champions Carnival in 2 decades is upon us brehs



Yuji Okabayashi better be in this tourney would love to see him get a good run. Would also be cool seeing a young guy like Takuya in there. We need a Nomura vs Nomura rematch, they are 1-1


--------------



Welp, Shuji and Hideki are in a fukkery match

 

[Jmare007]

NOAH vs All Japan feud might be in the works


Sugi destroying people from different promotions is always a welcome sight

Nakajima vs Shuji

Nakajima vs Shuji

Sugi and Uncle Jun have to be in the forefront since they brought the hate last summer.

Bout time NOAH lend on another promotion cause no one gives a fukk about them.

Got around to watching this match finally and it delivered tenfold. That final stretch between Sekimoto and Ishikawa was a thing of beauty.

And yes, I marked out like a little kid at the double suplex spot.
