Daisuke Sekimoto & Kohei Sato vs Yankee Two Kenju (Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto) - Tag Titles match

I love it when deathmatch guys show they can have dope regular matches. The first 6 minutes or so are pretty standard tag action with both teams trying to isolate one opponent, with the smaller guy (Kodaka) ending up having to fight from beneath while the other two bully him. Once Miyamoto gets the hot tag this gets into a higher gear, Yuko pulls off some nice moves, makes things flow and transitions to the best part of the match: Yankee's trying to figure out how to beat Sekimoto. It's an awesome game of chess against a beast that leads to a pretty dramatic finishing stretch. LOVED Sato and Daisuke failing to pull off the double german suplex and the comeback Isami and Yuko mount to get us to end. This was really fukking fun, dope tag match more than worth a look @TheGodling @3Rivers @Legal @PlayerNinety_Nine



Awesome show

If they can make the transition a bit smoother these two got themselves a GOAT level tag finisher.

Yuji Okabayashi vs Takuho Kato - BJW 2/27/20



It's been almost 2 years exactly since Kato had a really fun singles match with Sekimoto as his official "I'm for real" debut match. Dude was 3 months into his career. So now Big Japan booked him in back to back singles matches against Daisuke and Okabayashi, the first one there's no footage from but this second one... exactly what you want from a match like this. Yuji is a fukking bully and beats the shyt out of the young kid, but little breh has grown up and now has enough tools to not only endure the punishment but also dish out his own and even sneak in some legit impact offense. Said it two years ago, and I'll say it again: Daisuke got another one @Scottie Drippin @TheGodling @SubZeroDegrees

shyt's about to become the one night Olympic G1 Cup.

To be honest this works out for me because I am about to go on a two week vacation to Spain so I wouldn't be able to follow it anyway.

When you going breh? Spain is not that far off from going full Italy on this whole coronavirus thing

Oh, I'm almost positively royally fukked. I fly tomorrow and am staying in Valencia for the Fallas festival. That festival (not canceled yet btw) normally draws close to a million tourists of which 1/3 is said to be Italians.

They will definitely not reach those numbers this year but either way I am not really afraid or anything. I'm in my early 30s and in good health so outside of the possibility of getting put in quarantine I don't expect shyt to get in my way. I've actually been more fearful of the festival being canceled because I had been looking forward to going there ever since I discovered it on Summer Rae's instagram last year.

Yeah, you are safe health wise but logistic/travel fukkery are upon you most likely. Hopefully you end up with a story for the ages

Oh, most definitely. My vacations are always full of fukkery encounters, I don't expect anything less from this one.

I'm actually bringing my Tetsuya Naito shirt which reads 'Courage to take a step. Don't give up, the light is waiting for you.' in Spanish.
