Real World Tag League 2014 - Final Day

Real World Tag League 2014

(2014/12/6)

1.       Naoya Nomura vs. Takeshi Minamino

Another very strong Nomura rookie match, maybe even the best thus far. This kid is just insanely talented, hopefully it works out for him. Minamino was a damn good aggressor here too, that Elvis loving bastard is growing on me lately.

***1/2

2.       RWTL 2014: KENSO & Mitsuya Nagai vs. Atsushi Aoki & Hikaru Sato

Aoki and Sato want to get methodical but it’s a big NO NO in the Dark Kingdom land, the heel duo makes sure the match turns into surly brawling because that’s where they thrive. Very nice clash of styles with a satisfying finish, well done match overall.

***3/4

3.       RWTL 2014: Kengo Mashimo & Tank Nagai vs. Big Guns (Zeus & The Bodyguard)

Delightful balls-to-walls tag full of nonstop asskicking and powerhouse bomb throwing, great stuff, all four guys worked hard, I need a rematch soon.

4.       RWTL 2014: Go Shiozaki & Kento Miyahara vs. Joe Doering & Suwama

Manly slugfest with all four dudes shining, but man oh man, Kento Miyahara is something else, this guy has the godgiven natural talent of creating high tension and HATE out of nothing and with anyone, he is the Tenryu of young generation, here he had killer sessions with both Joe and Suwama. Such a great fast paced sprint, Go pinned Joe in a great climax to earn himself one more shot at the Triple Crown.

****1/4

5.       RWTL 2014: Burning Wild (Jun Akiyama & Takao Omori) vs. Akebono & Yutaka Yoshie

This show is on the fucking roll, here we have ANOTHER great tag team match. Akebono and Yoshie are not particularly attractive to watch, but damn, they work around their physical limitations extremely well, they’re awesome within their comfort zone. Akiyama and Omori are giving their manliest efforts to bring the behemoths down, the story write itself, great match.

****

7.       Masanobu Fuchi & Atsushi Onita vs. Yoshinobu Kanemaru & Ultimo Dragon

Boring trip down the memory lane, total waste of time.

bad
