Yuji Okabayashi vs Takuya Nomura - Strong Heavyweight Title BJW 7/21/19
(uploaded it for the brehs)

A motherfukking war :wow: this goes for 22 minutes and by the end you feel these two have gone through an hour of devastation. So in the weeks leading up to this match these two had close to 9 tag matches against each other were Okabayashi - the more experienced, and more importantly, way stronger wrestler - pinned or submitted Nomura in the first 6 ones, mostly by using the Argentine Backbreaker. Slowly but surely though, the Young Gawd began to find cracks in the champ, after working the left arm for a bunch of matches, he finally did it, he made Okabayashi tap out. From then on they had more matches were things leveled up, and Nomura got other Ws by doing the same shyt: destroy the big man's left arm.

So, the title match finally happens and what do we get? Well, exactly what we should get: Okabayashi fending off the young kid by beating the shyt out of him and Nomura doing everything in his power to work that damn arm. The match takes it's time, it's not a barn burner from the get go, it builds and it builds just like their tag matches. And boy does it pay off. I think the mics were shytty because you could tell the Osaka crowd was more into it than what it sounded once the 2nd half of the match starts kicking in, but I was fine with it to be honest. Another MOTYC for Yuji, who is having a fukking monster 2019. And Takuya? Well, young gawd is young gawd for a reason :myman: @SubZeroDegrees @3Rivers @TheGodling @Legal @Ace of the Metropolitan @Hey_zeus @Makai Club @julesocean


@Scottie Drippin
I agree the finish is kinda bizarre considering what happened all match long but did Yuji failed you because of the the lariat or because of the Golem Splash? To me it's the latter, I was totally fine with that last fighting spirit by him, it was the set up for the splash that felt out of place.


Good looks, gonna put it on tonight when I smoke.

Solid match

lariat spot made no sense in the end when he could have just used his right arm

The Mox and Shooter one is fukking genius :russ:



Elgin beat Sekimoto today, as was kinda expected. He's probably the big challenger for Ryogokutan :leon: They did 1,740 at Korakuen :krs: :ohlawd:

He wont be in the tag league though, the Strong Block is gonna be:

Sekimoto & Bodyguard
Hashimoto & Kamitani (Okami)
Ryota Hama & Yasufumi Nakanoue
Ryuichi Kawakami & Kazumi Kikuta
Takuya Nomura & Fuminori Abe
Akira Hyodo & Takuho Kato
El Lindaman & T-Hawk
Yuji Okabayashi & Shigehiro Irie


STROOONGHEAAARTS :bryan: @The Rainmaker you ready to finally start watching Big Japan breh? :mjlit:

Nomura and Abe about to disrespect and beat the shyt out of everyone once again :blessed: the match against Okami is gonna be really interesting considering Nomura is getting closer in status. And their match against Stronghearts might be the sleeper of the tourney.



EDIT: Holy shyt, we getting Okabayashi/Irie vs Nomura/Abe at Korakuen :ohlawd: @Scottie Drippin

Daisuke Sekimoto vs Michael Elgin - BJW 24/08/19
https://www.bilibili.com/video/av65219026 (seems this account uploads a ton of shyt that airs on SamuraiTV :whoo:)


When the match was announced I was legitimately curious about which side of Sekimoto we were going to see: the minimalistic one or the excessive one. Turns out we got both. First 20 minutes are just these two taking turns clubbering each other with chops, elbows, and a couple of big moves. It felt a little plodding as there really wasn't any other story besides them trying to out-macho the other one, but the strikes were fukking vicious and it felt like a big fukking fight. The last 5-6 minutes they go FULL retard with the excess, they just hit big move after big move with fighting spirit, no selling and nearfalls. And I get it, this was a big marquee match that gave Big Japan their biggest Korakuen Hall gate in 9 years, so if there was a match were they could go all out, it was this one. And to be fair, Korakuen ate it up. It's just not the kind of stuff I love to watch anymore, though I can't deny I was entertained by it.

It was the match I kinda expected to be honest, it would've benefited by being 5 minutes shorter though, imo. I'm positive most people will like it more than me, I'm not fond of ratings but would call it a 4 stars match :ehh: @TheGodling @Scottie Drippin @3Rivers @Ace of the Metropolitan



Kenny about to get his smile back :wow: @krackdagawd @Cobratron that pop was something else.

Makes sense when you think about it. With AEW having a partnership with DDT, there was now way Kenny wouldn't take a chance to go back there.
