Yuji Okabashyt vs Yasufumi Nakanoe - BJW Strong Heavyweight title match 1/2/2021


This was pretty fukking great Nakanoue is no stranger to title matches in Korakuen to start the year off and he's certainly not a stranger to Okabayashi being faster and much stronger than him. So Nakanoe goes to the body and opens up the little window he needs to have any sort of chance in this. Without Covid there's no doubt in my mind this would've trigger some very special Korakuen magic because both Yasufumi and Yuji put on a fukking show and make you believe the underdog has a legit chance. The nearfalls were dope, the strikes were on point, the struggle for moves was classic Strong BJ and the ending...dope fukking match right here @Scottie Drippin @TheGodling @Legal @EL REY @SubZeroDegrees @International Koala @3Rivers give it a look brehs.

indeed.

Really felt like Nakanoe was just fighting the entire match to try and take control away from the much stronger Okabayashi. Simple but effective storytelling too with Okabayashi just going after Nakanoe's chest and back the entire match and the latter targeting Okabayashi's midsection effectively.

That's exactly how it is. I copped Prince's first record, so good choice I try to only get one album per artist I'm into and not go past the '70s in era for now.. and still ended up with mad stacks of records - most of the new vinyl is just digital recordings printed on plastic, anyway. Analogue is the way...

Try Discogs. You can haggle and get some real good music for cheap

The rumor is WWE as he's been invited to the PC before (and Regal is a huge fan of his). Don't see him doing much as a wrestler though, probably going to get a trainer gig IF WWE is indeed his destination.

Leaving a good spot in the prestigious Sugiura-Gun stable for some rinky dink apartment in Florida? No sympy.

What a time line where Hideki and Thatcher could be torturing randoms in a Florida gym on USA Network every week.

Trainee: Suzuki sir, could you teach me how to throw convincing worked punches?

Suzuki: Worked nani?

It's funny because they totally would give him the exact same gimmick.

I'm all for a 2 out 3 falls match between them

Too bad Bro is not in Florida anymore, Hideki would go full trying to prove himself

Gonna miss him having a yearly classic with Daisuke and we never got the rematch between him and Yuji

Yeah. I meant as a tag team.

All Japan
2/23
Tag Team: Yuma Aoyagi & Kento Miyahara vs. Abdullah Kobayashi & Daisuke Sekimoto
Triple Crown: Suwama (c) vs. Kohei Sato


I have no clue why Abby Jr. is getting all these tags with Strong BJ but it's gonna be hilarious watching Kento interact with him


Sato gonna murder Suwama

Thought Ishikawa had dropped the deathmatches.

Giant Baba must be shaking on his giant grave.

When you make Jun Kasai your TV champion, all bets are off.
