Yuji Okabayashi, Hideyoshi Kamitani & Akira Hyodo vs Takuya Nomura, Kazumi Kikuta & Ryuichi Kawami - BJW 7/24/20
We get 9 of the 11 minutes this lasted and it honestly felt like 5. Good ol' hard hitting action with everyone involved, Yuji losing his shyt over Kikuta trying to out strike him has been funny as fukk this past month, in this match specially it feels my breh is one step away from chopping the life out of Kazumi. And the post match promo was even more
, Kikuta better write his will or something because Yuji is coming for his head. Ending is meh but can't go wrong with a match as fun as this one. BTW, this "grown up & hardcore" look Kamitani has is hilarious, breh looks 10 years older and has had like 2 hardcore matches, I hope he stays in the Strong division though.
Daichi Hashimoto vs Yasufumi Nakanoue - BJW Strong Title match 7/24/20
Not on the level of their 2018 matches but still pretty damn good. I think if they cut 4-5 minutes it could've been way tighter as Daichi once again shows he doesn't have enough in his arsenal to keep things dramatic when he's on top. Spamming Shining Wizards kills the match instead of giving them a sense of urgency, he gotta find something different. Everything else was really fukking good though, Daichi working the head and Nakanoue working the leg lead to nice control sections and the crowd getting into the submissions, and Daichi's selling was dope, as he tends to do when his opponent work his leg. Loved Korakuen getting really into Nakanoue's final push, it felt like we were close to getting some magic even though it was only 1/3 of the building.
Whole show
