Kazuchika Okada vs Tomohiro Ishii - New Japan Cup Semifnals 3/23/19
Video starts at the 1hr53min mark.
This starts with the tried and true formula of Ishii getting disrespected, him getting pissed and then fukking his opponent up. Then it transitions to a "who's tougher" segment with a strike exchange battle...and then the last 9 minutes happen when you get the
New Japan bomb fest and final sequences they have pretty much perfected at this point. At some point I was going 
at Ishii throwing really safe headbutts, but then dude just went full retard with some of the counters and hit Okada's neck and jaw full on 
LOVED Okada's first dropkick, that shyt was perfectly timed. Some of the germans Ishii ate were fukking brutal too. The second half of the match really makes it something more than worth your time.

DDT been slow and kinda missing me with these main event comedy matches
but man why they can't have a complete show, instead of match after match video format
it makes it easier to skip the shyt you don't wanna watch. Ans even still it's only 2 clicks breh 
too lazy to click through all of that, but I see your point
a worthy successor to the classic they had in January, though not on THAT level. This one doesn't have the emotional rollercoaster vibe the first one had, and it was more about bomb throwing, which kinda makes sense because things had to escalate from their previous encounter. The roles are reversed on the first third of the match, with Strong BJ dominating this time and working over Suwama, and Shuji having to be the hot tag and the fired up one. Korakuen loves Strong BJ though, so even tough they are the invaders, they are still over and never get booed - they didn't try to get booed either though, except for like 2 times they choked Suwama,but they left it at that -, they were really into Yuji and that's awesome because that just means his Champion Carnival run is gonna be fukking amazing. Once Ishikawa does the hot tag the match becomes evenly matched and they just trade bombs and strikes until the end. There are some nice little touches, like Suwama throwing himself to the canvas to avoid Daisuke's german suplex, but him getting deadlifted anyway, a fukked up Shuji lending a hand to avoid the double german suplex, or both Sekimoto and Suwama screaming and cheering up their partners to get the job done and get the W. Still, after an amazing nearfall that I wont spoil, the match kinda fizzles to the end, it's like Korakuen didn't really want a title change, lol. This is more than worth a watch, 25 minutes of dope hoss action, not a classic, but a great match anyways 
brehs. An Ace at his peak (or entering his peak) vs the future Ace in a title match is not a dynamic that you get to see much in Japan and I gotta say they pulled it off nicely here. At first this is all about Kento, he's a cocky motherfukker that wants to show the kid he ain't got what it takes, and he pretty much does exactly that. Miyahara's mannerisms and the mandatory Wada fukkery carry the first 10 minutes or so of the match, which are fine but nothing to write home about either. Nomura has to fight like hell to land anything meaningful and it doesn't have a lasting impact because Kento is just better. But as the match goes along, Naoya starts to find cracks in the champ. Little by little, he starts landing more powerful stuff, and he starts to make it very difficult for Miyahara to hit a combo or the straight jacket German Suplex that would finish the match. This goes for a good 5-8 minutes until Nomura is finally going toe to toe with Kento, and you actually believe it, it makes sense, and you buy into the action and the nearfalls. The first portion of the match might be a little too long, but it pays off. Great showcase for Nomura and awesome performance by Kento, who truly did his best to prove Naoya got next. 
cool opportunity for the kid, to 
hey, he's hanging in there, to 
holy shyt look at this kid, to 
HOLY fukk THE KID MIGHT PULL THIS OFF.

mainly because, who's out there to challenge him besides Ibushi and Naito?
