World Tag League 2014 - Day 11 (Final Day)


World Tag League 2014

(2014/12/7)


1.       Yohei Komatsu vs. Sho Tanaka

I believe this is the biggest stage for these two yet, awesome to see them getting chance to display their talents. Standard good stuff here, solid matwork and nifty counters.

***1/4


2.       Taichi & Desperado vs. Tiger Mask & BUSHI

I’m ready to see what else Taichi and Desperado have in store for us, the current formula got tiresome.

6.       Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki, Takashi Iizuka, TAKA Michinoku) vs. Toru Yano, Kazushi Sakuraba, Gedo

MiSu is a dick for ages, that’s all you need to know.

**1/4


7.       Bullet Club (AJ Styles, Bad Luck Fale, Yujiro Takahashi) vs. Tetsuya Naito, Tomoaki Honma, Ryusuke Taguchi

Good match where everyone played their roles well, it seems they’re building to Honma’s first big payoff win for WK9, but then again, I might be wrong. Styles/Naito gonna be TITS.

***1/4


8.       CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, Shinsuke Nakamura, Tomohiro Ishii, YOSHI-HASHI) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kota Ibushi, Togi Makabe, Sombra

Eh… Not good, shit dragged and some parts were dry. Not bad either, we got to see our usual suspects doing their stuff and it has its moments. Okada piledriving Tanahashi in the post-match was awesome, though.

**1/2


9.       World Tag League 2014 – FINAL: Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows vs. Hirooki Goto & Katsuyori Shibata

Amazing match that summed up the entire Goto-Shibata journey into 20 minutes, with nice callbacks to screwed double-team spots and the eternal fight with Bullet Club. The entire match was one big story about Goto and Shibata getting rid of losing mentality that kind of got to them, it was a great watch. There’s nothing like watching a tag match with a good face-in-peril segment, and we got two of those here, with Goto’s being long, sluggish and amazing. They had to dig very fucking deep to win the tournament, it was a very tough task conquering the big bad gaijin duo and their pack of interfering jackals, it made for a helluva payoff and legit feelgood moment. Tremendous match.

****1/2
