6. Ryuichi
Kawakami & Kazuki Hashimoto vs. Koji Kanemoto & Atsushi Maruyama
Manliness
everywhere, the old friends K-Hash and Kanemoto meet again and it’s awesome.
Ryuichi Kawakami is the biggest and surliest man of the match, something he
couldn’t display before, alongside Sekimoto, Kohei and Shuji.
***1/2
7. Daisuke Sekimoto 15th Anniversary:
HARASHIMA, Yuji Hino, Ryuji Ito vs. Daisuke Sekimoto, Naomichi Marufuji, Kohei
Sato
The
match-ups are Sekimoto/Ito, Kohei/Hino and SHIMA/Marufuji, and they were all
good. Yes, even Marufuji was tolerable here. This was your typically good and
manly Strong BJ slugfest.
***3/4

1. Toshiyuki
Sakuta & Kota Sekifuda vs. Hideyoshi Kamitani & Isamu Oshita
So awesome
seeing Kamitani humbling bitches, usually he’s an underdog, but here against
the youngsters it was his time to throw someone around like it’s nothing. Also,
Sakuta is great. They played off the 8/15 finish nicely.
***
2. Brahman
Shu, Brahman Kei, Takayuki Ueki vs. Shinobu, Tsutomu Oosugi, Hercules Senga
A Brahmans
match. And then it turned into a Takayuki Ueki match. Obviously, it was
hilarious. Contains guns in rectal cavities.
GOLD
3. Atsushi
Maruyama & Shiori Asahi vs. MEN’S Teioh & Takumi Tsukamoto
Good, but should’ve
been better considering the names involved. Tsukamoto wasn’t good here.
***
4. Daisuke
Sekimoto & Ryuichi Kawakami vs. Twin Towers (Kohei Sato & Shuji
Ishikawa)
Man, just
few days ago we got to see Kawakami in a match where he was the biggest man,
tossing people around and being a monster, and now he’s stuck against the absolute
behemoths in Kohei and Shuji. Excellent Strong BJ manliness.
****1/4
5. Kazuki
Hashimoto vs. Koji Kanemoto
They had an
awesome match in January, but this one is even better. Tons of vicious strikes
and punishment was thrown around, they really did a number on each other. The
finish was amazing and did a great job in putting K-Hash over, this feud was
such an underappreciated gem of 2014.
****1/2
6. BARBED
WIRE BOARD DEATHMATCH: Heisei Gokudo Combi (Kankuro Hoshino & Masato Inaba)
vs. Ryuji Ito & Abdullah Kobayashi
A Korakuen
deathmatch with a nice, surprising finish.
***1/4
7. LIGHTTUBE
& EXTREME TLC DEATHMATCH: Masashi Takeda & Jaki Numazawa vs. Yankee
Nichokenju (Yuko Miyamoto & Isami Kodaka)
Good main
event, they did just enough to make it better and different than your average
by-the-numbers deathmatch.
***1/2
2014/8/31
1. Yuichi
Taniguchi, Takayuki Ueki, Kota Sekifuda vs. Hideyoshi Kamitani, Isamu Oshita,
Toshiyuki Sakuta
Unfortunately,
the young guns weren’t in main roles here, Taniguchi and Ueki were, hence the
weak rating.
**
2. Kazuki
Hashimoto & Yusaku Obata vs. Kohei Sato & Shinobu
K-Hash once
again displays his unbelievable (Tenryuesque) ability to create nuclear heat
with just about every opponent they toss at him. Here we have him going
back-and-forth with Kohei in “let’s annihilate each other” department, and ho
boy, it’s cringeworthy awesome. The finish was fantastic.
***3/4
3. TLC
DEATHMATCH: Masaya Takahashi vs. Jaki Numazawa
Nothing to
see here. Moving on…
bad
4. Atsushi
Maruyama vs. Ryuichi Kawakami
Super neat
little match, Kawakami’s power vs. Maruyama’s quickness, they worked around it.
Maruyama’s got some groovy shoot style kicks. Great finish.
***1/4
6. Muno
Taiyo (Great Sasuke, Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei) vs. Ryuji Ito, Tsutomu oosugi,
Hercules Senga
A Brahmans
match that I didn’t dig too much, there was some good comedy out there, but
also a lot of unnecessary Sasuke stalling. At the end of the day, such a
useless match.
**
7. Takashi
Sugiura vs. Daisuke Sekimoto
NOAH’s
Sugiura is usually pretty awful, but outside that cesspool he can be fun to
watch when paired with right opponents, and that was exactly the case here. Sekimoto
was clearly in charge, it was his usual match with slow and methodical build
before dramatic finishing run, with tons of stiff shots tying the whole thing
together. Seriously, this was one insanely rough-looking match, some of those
blasts were just malicious. They threw kitchen sinks at each other. Sooo, like
I said, as good as it gets with Sugiura in the ring.
***3/4
8. GLASSBOARD
& KENZAN DEATHMATCH for BJW
Deathmatch Championship: Masashi Takeda vs. Yuko Miyamoto ©
Great
deathmatch sprint, this was surprisingly only 12 minutes long, the feeling out
phase was very short and they went straight to killing each other, great shit.
Both glassboard spots were brutally beautiful and the kenzans were used well
too, Takeda practically worked the entire match with a kenzan stuck into his
forehead. Lots of blood, lots of punishment, this was your good old Deathmatch
Title slugfest.
