Strong BJ vs Violent Giants - All Japan Tag Titles, BJW 1/13/19
Excellent match. A nice change of pace (it would be harsh to say ''antidote''
) to NXT last night. Instead of guys flying all around getting ready for their nxt spots it was guys crumpling to the mat after getting their head rattled. One thing I will say first is that Suwama, to me, was a level below the others here. He lacked some intensity when beating down Sekimoto, contrast his segment with the rapid fire elbows Ishikawa would deliver (plus the way he fukking mauled Yuji that time). Plus his back clubs and his double chop thing was weak.
BUT a minor complaint really. Loved how the AJPW team used their size throughout this, every little thing was a struggle for Strong BJ. Sekimoto was so good as the face in peril, his glassy eyed selling while slumped in the corner was great and all his desperation chest forearms were awesome. The finishing stretch was very good, not too many near falls, everyone selling and a molten crowd.
