1. Yuma Aoyagi Debut Match: Yuma
Aoyagi vs. Kento Miyahara
What
an awesome debut match, probably the best one I’ve ever seen unless I’m missing
something embarrassingly obvious. Miyahara was such a proper and surly
aggressor towards Aoyagi who took the beating like a true pro, but he also gave
him a lot, totally did not expect that. Obviously the kid is immensely talented
and it showed in his debut already, and of course Korakuen recognized it and
gave him good time. Damn good match with a great story.
***3/4
2. Hikaru
Sato vs. Yohei Nakajima
Tight
little match that built and built until the satisfying finale, poor Yohei was
doing everything in his power to fight off the savvy shooter, it looked like a
mongoose vs. snake fight, awesome shit. The defensive portions of the match
were shooty, loved it. Yohei removing the mask half a year ago and abandoning
the Menso~re Oyaji persona did wonders for him, he’s a great lowcard underdog
now, and Hikaru Sato is continuously one of the most underappreciated wrestlers
on the planet. I knew this would rock, and it did.

3. Osamu
Nishimura, Ryuji Hijikata, Naoya Nomura vs. Tamon Honda, Masao Inoue, Tsuyoshi
Kikuchi
Kikuchi
still looks good and can go. And someone book Nishimura in a singles match
please.

4. Mascara vs. Mascara: Masked
Burning No. 2 & Ultimo Dragon vs. Mr. Christmas & SUSHI
Decent
semi-comedy match.
**1/2
5. GAORA TV Championship: KENSO
vs. Kotaro Suzuki ©
Great
match with KENSO’s nose being busted open, it added to his character here, the
brawling portions of the match were rough and awesome. This was your classic
big guy vs. small guy structure done right, the selling was excellent and the
finishing run was well done. After the match Ryuji Hijikata came out to
challenge the new champion KENSO and I have no idea why, he just lost the title
match two weeks ago, ffs.
****1/4
6. AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Championship:
Masanobu Fuchi vs. Atsushi Aoki ©
Smart
match worked around Fuchi’s athletic limitations, simple and clever contest
with lots of pure struggle, Aoki did a fine job in adjusting to Fuchi’s pacing.
***1/4
7. Kyohei Wada 40th Anniversary Match:
Akebono & Takao Omori vs. Suwama & Go Shiozaki
Really
fun match built around the intriguing Suwama & Shiozaki one night only
partnership, and that was the story of the match, there were awesome
interactions and tension between the two. Omori was great here with all the
punches, uppercuts and big boots, Akebono was his normal self (weight and all
that jazz), and together they made for a good foe duo to fight against the
Dream Team. Quality entertainment.
***3/4
