Yuji Okabayashi vs Takuya Nomura - Strong Heavyweight Title BJW 7/21/19
(uploaded it for the brehs)
A motherfukking war 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 @SubZeroDegrees @3Rivers @TheGodling @Legal @Ace of the Metropolitan @Hey_zeus @Makai Club @julesocean

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.
