Noah remain such a fascinating combination of one of the best promotions in the world with some of the most deliberately frustrating booking to ever be proposed.

I think Seiki Yoshioka fits into my "Lil Uglyman" category along with Daniel Garcia.

That'd be sweet, I remember digging their match at the Budokan last year. Funaki is a top tier murder grandpa

After watching Nak/Kitamiya, I think Nakajima has a selling problem--plenty of opponents have worked on his leg, but he just continues to kick them. Okay I guess your knees are made of steel but it kind of makes his opponents dumb for trying and failing. I do like him a lot but it's something I've been noticing a lot, he just stops selling the leg whenever it's convenient. (Kenoh has a similar issue but I have a lower opinion on his wrestling ability anyway).

I also felt the last few minutes of the match was slow and dull... I think I like the hair vs hair cage match better.

Has the Vertical Spike always been his finisher? Him holding up the opponent for a while seems like he's struggling instead of showcasing his strength.

Definitely a fair criticism of Nakajima, I personally forget any issues I might have whenever he throws a kick because it always sounds so great.

The vertical spike is an odd finisher for him, he should either transition to the northern lights bomb or make his crazy punt a match winner

Pro Wrestling NOAH Higher Ground 2022 Night 1

Haoh vs Nioh
Funky Express (King Tany & Mohammed Yone) vs Los Perros Del Mal de Japon (Kotaro Suzuki & NOSAWA Rongai
HAYATA vs YO-HEY
Daisuke Harada, Go Shiozaki & Junta Miyawaki vs Kongo (Aleja, Katsuhiko Nakajima & Manabu Soya)
GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Titles: Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara vs Stinger (Seiki Yoshioka & Yuya Susumu)
M's Alliance (Masato Tanaka & Naomichi Marufuji) vs Sugiuragun (Kazushi Sakuraba & Takashi Sugiura)
GHC National Title: Kenoh(c) vs Masakatsu Funaki

Roughly 90 minutes until this starts and the card looks rad. Hoping Haoh and Nioh have as good chemistry as opponents as they did as teammates, YO-HEY is HAYATA's best opponent, we get another Katsu/Go confrontation, Ohara and Yoshioka have some drat solid teammates for the titles, and Kenoh/Funaki should loving rock. If you have a chance before the show starts, check out their last match at Back to Budokan in February, or Funaki's N-1 semi's match with Nakajima so se him slap the poo poo out of a punk
