Dead Baba Draws Better Than Current All Japan

Giant Baba 17^th Death Anniversary

(2015/1/31)

1.       Yuma Aoyagi vs. Yohei Nakajima

Neat little opener, the crowd totally bought into Aoyagi winning during that one roll-up since Nakajima is a total jobber. Perfect opening match.

***1/4

2.       Naoya Nomura vs. SUSHI

Oh look, a SUSHI match where SUSHI didn’t suck a bag of dicks! Good effort from both.

***

3.       KENSO vs. Masao Inoue

A KENSO match mixed with an Inoue match.

**

4.       Jinsei Shinzaki & TARU vs. Taiyo Kea & Yuto Aijima

It was nice to see Kea back. Aaaand, that’s pretty much it. Painfully average and pointless match.

5.       Genichiro Tenryu, Akebono, Ultimo Dragon vs. Evolution (Suwama, Atsushi Aoki, Hikaru Sato)

The greatest wrestler of all time is fucking 65 years old (or young) and can barely walk properly, but his right hand still serves him well and Suwama’s mouth, nose and throat can testify to that.

***1/4

6.       Jun Akiyama, Takao Omori, Masanobu Fuchi vs. Xceed (Go Shiozaki, Kento Miyahara, Kotaro Suzuki)

Good main event with some really nifty moments, such as Akiyama/Kotaro closing, it would’ve been great with less Fuchi and his old man selling shtick. I did like him getting his ass kicked by Go, though, you mess with the bull, you get the horns. Go didn’t care about Fuchi’s age, he treated him like any other punchbag out there.

***1/2
