That confrontation at the bosj finals made me really want to see shibata vs nagata.

It's time for Honma to get moved up the card, he has been one of their more under-utilized workers for a while. Maybe this match could get him into a higher-profile feud with Goto or Shibata.

I like how they are big fans of whenever Shibata gets hit really hard because I am too.

Good match. Looks like we get Shibata/Nagata for sure and maybe Goto/Honma too. I'll look forward to both of those. I love it how Nagata is 46 and can still make it look completely believable while beating the poo poo out of a legit former MMA fighter.

edit: Watch this match and then tell me Honma is not a master of selling. drat.

So how does the NWA feel about their tag titles being fought over by two teams from NJPW?

Or are they just happy to have ANY relevance at all?

K.E.S is managed by TAKA as part of Suzuki-gun, but I'm pretty sure they wrestle for Tharpe's texas indie as well. WOuldn't shock me if the belts change hands here and the NWA partnership comes to an end.

I like Ricochet as much as the next guy, but there is such a thing as too many backflips.

edit: Now that, was a dive.

The sell on that Lariat was way too early but everything else has been golden. Jesus Christ Ricochet is good (as is Ibushi!)

Well that was pretty much pin by murder.

That was a pretty good match. Not quite as good as I expected but the athleticism on display was incredible.

Either that match was shorter than I expected or it was so good that it flew by. Not quite at the level of the BOSJ final but close.

Ricochet needs to work on his striking offense. Especially next to Ibushi's, it didn't look or sound very good. And his timing goes wrong in some spots, weirdly so because he lands all those crazy dives and flipping moves with no problems. Other than that, he's fantastic.

Great to see Ricochet's over, I hope he signs so we see more of him.

Ibushi would be one of the world class greats if he ever got moved up to heavyweight like Naito. He's already basically a better Naito.

Opening the G-1 with Okada/Styles and Tanahashi/Ibushi. Wow.
