Two Random Matches from an Obscure Puro Indie I've Never Heard of Before

GUTS World 2014/12/6

Taro Yamada vs. Madoka

Nice lucha inspired match full of nifty chain sequences and pin attempts with roll-ups and stuff, the finishing run was exciting and suspenseful, good match. Every time I stumble upon a Madoka indie match, I take time and check it, dude never disappoints.

***1/4

Shota vs. GENTARO

Couldn’t even finish this, so boring and dry, a nothing match.

Union 8/31: Shuji and Hikaru Work an Indie MOTYC

Union Summer Festival 2014

(2014/8/31)

4.      Mitomi Masayuki vs. Madoka

I’ve always been fond of Madoka, he’s a useful part time addition to BJW’s roster, so I decided to check this match, out of pure curiosity, and I did not regret. This Masayuki fella looks like a fine prospect, he wasn’t carried too much by the much more experienced Madoka, good match here.

***1/2

6.      UWA World Tag Team Championship: Isami Kodaka & FUMA vs. MEN’S Teioh & Hiroshi Fukuda ©

Good tag title match, although worked in a somehow different pace than expected, they were quite slow and methodic. Fukuda’s “American brawler” gimmick is excellent.

***1/4

7.      Union MAX Championship: Shuji Ishikawa vs. Hikaru Sato ©

As much as I freakin’ LOVE this match, I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone. It goes half an hour, it’s slow, sluggish and methodical, and its physical selling is mostly based on fatigue and exhaustion. You really have to be into the characters to fully grasp and appreciate this beauty of the match, I dug it immensely, an excellent match between two great pro-wrestlers.
