Astronauts (Nomura & Abe) vs Okami (Daichi & Kamitani) - BJW Tag Team Title match 8/15/21
(match starts at the 2hr03 minutes)

This has a slow start, the action is good but the pace is too slow and there's no sense of urgency from anyone, which was surprising considering the talent involved. Thankfully by the 5 minute mark shyt gets more interesting with Daichi working a good control section over Nomura and setting the tone for the match. From that point forward is basically 20 minutes of very good tag team action and all four showing out, as they usually do when they face each other. Some great nearfalls and saves, fukking LOVED everything Okami had to do to keep Abe at bay and just focusing on Young Gawd. This started "meh" and slowly but surely ended up being pretty great.

ZSJ has a submission hold called The Tesco Meal Deal? And now Tesco is looking to sponsor him?

This man is the wrestling version of Chris Morris. He's determined to get the most obscure British references into Japanese wrestling

Astronauts vs Strong BJ - BJW 10/05/21


This goes 13 minutes and I NEED A THIRD MATCH DAMMIT :damn: this was the Abe/Okabayashi show, which is weird because it's supposed to build up to Nomura and Sekimoto for the title, lol. Really, really liked their early restraint by not throwing a single strike in the first seven minutes and building up to them, with both Young Gawd and Abe trying to keep the two hosses on the mat but getting to cocky and provoking Yuji too much. As explained, the Abe/Okabayashi interactions were the highlights, with Fuminori just being an incredible cocky a$$hole against the much bigger man. Sekimoto and Nomura had good strike exchanges but they were barely in it against each other until the finish, which was quite sudden. They left A LOT on the table and considering the match from September is even shorter (haven't been able to watch it yet), I wonder why they were so conservative. I did like Nomura being much more confident and realizing he's the fukking champ and fukk these old dudes :birdman:
