BJW 2014/8/15

Sooo, I'm ridiculously behind with BJW. Like, 8 months behind. Fuck. And I can't even explain why, tbf, they're basically my favorite fed of all time. I follow the stories and results, but for some reason I always delay the watching, it's always "this weekend", lel. That needs to change. I guess what comes next is catching up in some sort of binge-watching, smh...

And what a bad luck, the first show is from 8/15 where they only aired 4 matches out of 7, they fucking left out Twin Towers vs. K-Hash & Kawakami, fuck life.



Big Summer Festival in Korakuen: Ryuji Ito 15th Anniversary

(2014/8/15)


1.      Toshiyuki Sakuta & Kota Sekifuda vs. Yuichi Taniguchi & Isamu Oshita

Thankfully the eternal jobber Taniguchi didn’t get much ring time, so this was all about Big Japan kids making names for themselves. Good little match.

3.      GENTARO & Shinobu vs. Daisuke Sekimoto & MEN’s Teioh

Poor Shinobu just can’t get away from underdog roles, lel. Good match with killer finish, and overall it was fun to see GENTARO hanging with Daisuke.

5.      ETC DEATHMATCH: MASADA & Danny Havoc vs. Yankee Nichokenju (Yuko Miyamoto & Isami Kodaka)

What a great deathmatch sprint, this was all action and destruction, American guys worked their asses off here, they really stepped it up against the homeboys. MASADA is such a beast, especially in Japan. This was awesome.

7.      300 COUNTER LIGHTTUBES DEATHMATCH - Ryuji Ito 15th Anniversary: Abdullah Kobayashi vs. Ryuji Ito

Another super fun sprint in front of the amazing Korakuen crowd. Abby and Ito had a bunch of 20+ minute long matches in the past, so it was such a nice surprise seeing them in a short helter-skelter. There wasn’t any particular story behind the match, it is Ito’s debut anniversary match and Abby came back to regular competition just five days earlier, and the match is simply about two old pals/rivals having a deathmatch party in Korakuen. Shit son, it was tons of fun. They were just smashing each other with lighttubes like it’s nothing.
