GHC Heavyweight Championship:
Takashi Sugiura vs. Minoru Suzuki ©
Well, here
we go, finally something truly noteworthy coming out of this SZKG angle,
because this super clash is just stupendously awesome. MiSu is such a wizard of
pro-scraps, and this instant classic should serve as the example and testament
of his undisputed greatness, as he carried Sugiura to his very best singles
match ever. Sugiura’s been such a shit wrestler since 2011, but credit where
credit is due, he was good enough here. He sold well, even exceptionally well
at certain instances, his strikes finally meant something and the crowd totally
bought into his potential victory. It was awesome. Unfortunately, the match
still had that one or two strike battles too many, and basically that’s why I
can’t give this slugfest a full boat. It’s a relatively minor nitpick, because
MiSu managed to make everything Sugiura did look so good and compelling, but it’s
still a nitpick that bothers me and it took away from the middle portion.
But let’s be
positive here, Suzuki took all the crappy Sugiura ingredients and blended them
into his masterful human chessgame elements, hence why this match turned so
goddamn amazing. I loved the structure, it felt stupendously organic and
natural, very easy to keep up with everything, and yet nothing felt tedious or
tiresome. Quite unique match, especially for NOAH universe, and it contains the
best fucking slap battle in motherfucking YEARS!
****3/4
