Saikyo Tag League 2014
(2014/9/23)
2. Isamu
Oshita & Toshiyuki Sakuta vs. MEN’S Teioh & Tatsuhiko Yoshino
The
centerpiece was Oshita/Yoshino and it was awesome. Teioh works so well with
young guns.
***1/4
3. Ryuichi
Kawakami & Kota Sekifuda vs. Shuji Ishikawa & Masaya Takahashi
I love it
when puro companies get the very most out of obvious tag matches where you’re
100% sure who’s a fallman. And it doesn’t get much better than this, poor tiny
Sekifuda against the surly duo of big bad animals, especially Shuji Ishikawa
who’s toying with him until the moment he’s not. Korakuen adores good underdog
stories, and so do I.
***3/4
4. Saikyo Tag League 2014 (Death Block)
– BARBED WIRE BOARD STREET FIGHT DEATHMATCH: Heisei Gokudo Combi (Kankuro
Hoshino & Masato Inaba) vs. Jaki Numazawa & Masashi Takeda
Wow, this
one totally caught me off guard, great fucking match and definitely the best
HGC effort ever, by a large margin. This was just a whacky rollercoaster of
fun.

5. Saikyo Tag League 2014 (Strong Block):
Shiori Asahi & Shinobu vs. Koji Kanemoto & Kazuki Hashimoto
And here is
ANOTHER super fun match. Kanemoto and K-Hash are teaming together after the
grueling rivalry and obviously they’re stupendously awesome in kicking asses.
***3/4
6. Saikyo Tag League 2014 (Strong Block):
Speed of Sounds (Hercules Senga & Tsutomu Oosugi) vs. Daisuke Sekimoto
& Hideyoshi Kamitani
Great power
vs. speed clash, with a strong subplot of Kamitani digging in VERY fucking deep
to justify the privilege of teaming with Sekimoto, this was a captivating
story.

7. Saikyo Tag League 2014 (Death Block)
– IRON CAGE & LIGHTTUBE DEATHMATCH: Ryuji Ito & Abdullah Kobayashi vs. Yankee
Nichokenju (Yuko Miyamoto & Isami Kodaka)
Such a neat
and proper match to cap off this highly entertaining show. The match wasn’t
anything particularly new, but the story of Abby getting some of his mojo back
after the return was enough for me and Korakuen to care and enjoy. Pretty damn
good deathmatch.
***3/4
