Date:\u00a0 August 31st, 2014 As far as indy promotions go, it doesn\u2019t get a lot more \u2018indy\u2019 than Union.\u00a0 Most of their events don\u2019t ever make it to air in full form, so this is a special day.\u00a0 This event has three title matches, I have no idea how important they are but it is still worth noting.\u00a0 I know eleven of the wrestlers on this card which is a pretty good ratio I think for a small event such as this one.\u00a0 Here is the card:<\/p>\n – Cherry vs. Kaho Kobayashi I really don’t know what to expect here, let’s see how this turned out.<\/p>\n Cherry vs. Kaho Kobayashi<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Normally when I see Kobayashi she is the eternal face in peril so it was nice to see her in a different role for a change.\u00a0 This was a solid opener, nothing blew me away and it was pretty short but the women worked together very well.\u00a0 Kobayashi dominated the match, but the combination of moves that Cherry hit at the end seemed sufficient for her to pick up the pinfall, so no complaints there.\u00a0 Joshi matches generally shine on these smaller Indy shows and this was no exception, just wish it was longer.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 6.0<\/span><\/p>\n SAGAT vs. Shibata<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Not much to it.\u00a0 Most of it was MMA-style but not really great MMA style, I don\u2019t know if these two have any experience in MMA but neither one really showed it.\u00a0 Shibata wrestled in gloves which comes across as silly in a pro wrestling match as there is really no advantage to that.\u00a0 But it was too short to be offensive even though it didn\u2019t really have much of a point.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 4.0<\/span><\/p>\n Daichi, El Hijo del Goro, and Goro Jr. vs. Daichi Kazato, Ryu Gouma, and Seiya Morohashi<\/strong><\/span> Kazato tags in Morohashi, and Morohashi hits a lariat to Daichi, Goro Jr. and knocks Hijo del Goro off the apron.\u00a0 Daichi kicks Morohashi, Irish whip by Daichi, reversed, and Daichi hits an armdrag before posing.\u00a0 Morohashi stomps Daichi, and Morohashi hits mounted punches in the corner.\u00a0 Morohashi picks up Daichi and applies a facelock, but it is quickly broken up.\u00a0 Morohashi waits for Daichi to get up, but Gouma runs in and hits a lariat to Daichi.\u00a0 Morohashi throws Gouma out of the ring and he stomps Daichi.\u00a0 Irish whip by Morohashi to the corner, Daichi flips himself out to the apron but Morohashi brings him back in.\u00a0 Morohashi picks up Daichi, Irish whip, but Daichi jumps on the ropes and hits a dropkick.\u00a0 Daichi tags in Goro Jr. while Morohashi tags in Kazato.\u00a0 Goro Jr. hits a backstabber, he picks up Kazato, Irish whip to the corner and Goro Jr. hits an elbow on Kazato.\u00a0 Body avalanche by Hijo del Goro, Daichi comes in the ring and hits a handstand kick to Kazato.\u00a0 Goro Jr. goes up to the top turnbuckle and hits a calf branding, and Hijo del Goro hits a diving body press.\u00a0 Daichi comes off the top turnbuckle with a diving body press as well, cover by Goro Jr. but Kazato kicks out.\u00a0 Goro Jr. picks up Kazato and hits a backdrop suplex, he picks him up again and hits a second one.\u00a0 Cover, but it gets another two count.\u00a0 Goro Jr. picks up Kazato and he hits a pump handle suplex.\u00a0 Cover, but it is broken up.\u00a0 Daichi picks up Kazato and then dives out of the ring onto Morohashi with a pescado.\u00a0 Spinning backfist by Goro Jr. to Kazato but Kazato elbows him when he goes for a second one.\u00a0 Complete Shot by Kazato, cover, and he picks up the three count.\u00a0 Your winners:\u00a0 Daichi Kazato , Ryu Gouma, and Seiya Morohashi<\/p>\n Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0This is what I would call a typical indy mid-card match.\u00a0 Lots of wrestlers, but only one of which I had seen before (and I watch a LOT of wrestling), and some of which I could find no information on whatsoever.\u00a0 There was some mild comedy to start it off, a beat down segment, a hot tag, a botched dive, and then the end.\u00a0 In this case the end came suddenly as Kazato had been dominated but after two quick moves he had the easy pinfall.\u00a0 Like the last match, not really offensive or anything, just not inspired and mostly mid-card fodder.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 3.5<\/span><\/p>\n Madoka vs. Mitomi Masayuki<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 There was a time many many years ago that I thought Madoka had a lot of potential and may be one of those to \u2018move on\u2019 from the indies.\u00a0 I was incorrect.\u00a0 There wasn\u2019t a lot to this one but it was fundamentally sound.\u00a0 Neither of them showed much of an \u2018it\u2019 factor to pull the crowd into it, and there were some slow parts which surprised me as these two could have gone full throttle the whole match if they wanted to as it wasn\u2019t a long one.\u00a0 But there weren\u2019t any miscues or anything like that and they were serious throughout, so it certainly wasn\u2019t a complete waste.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 5.5<\/span><\/p>\n (c) Ladybeard vs. Mio Shirai<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 To be clear, Ladybeard is not a lady.\u00a0 And also not a great wrestler, just judging him based on this match which may not be fair.\u00a0 They kept it really basic, I am not sure if they just didn\u2019t have time to plan or what but for a title match there just wasn\u2019t much to it.\u00a0 Ladybeard has been wrestling for years but this match could have been between two rookies with the same layout.\u00a0 Obviously this is not an important title but I\u2019d still prefer it feel at least somewhat important, which it did not in this match.\u00a0 Hopefully Shirai will do better with the title down the road.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 3.0<\/span><\/p>\n (c) Hiroshi Fukuda and MEN’s Teioh vs. FUMA and Isami Kodaka<\/strong><\/span> Teioh punches FUMA into the corner, Irish whip, but FUMA falls to the mat clutching his knee.\u00a0 FUMA gets back up in the corner, punches by Teioh and he gets a running start, but FUMA moves out of the way.\u00a0 FUMA makes the hot tag to Kodaka, Kodaka knocks Fukuda off the apron and then hits a jumping elbow smash on Teioh.\u00a0 Kodaka goes for a suplex but Fukuda breaks it up, Irish whip by Kodaka to Fukuda and he delivers a dropkick.\u00a0 Arm breaker by Kodaka to Teioh and he hits a second one.\u00a0 He goes for a third but Teioh blocks it, he goes for the Octopus Hold and gets it locked in.\u00a0 Teioh\u2019s arm is hurting so he tags in Fukuda, Fukuda goes up to the top turnbuckle and hits a double axe handle.\u00a0 Irish whip by Kodaka and he hits a vertical suplex to Fukuda.\u00a0 Kodaka tags in FUMA, Irish whip by FUMA to the corner and he hits a jumping elbow smash.\u00a0 Kick combination by FUMA, he goes off the ropes and hits an STO.\u00a0 FUMA goes for a Buzzsaw Kick but Fukuda catches his leg and applies the Spinning Toe Hold.\u00a0 FUMA kicks Fukuda off, Fukuda goes off the ropes and hits a chop block.\u00a0 Fukuda applies the Spinning Toe Hold again while Teioh puts the Spinning Toe Hold onto Kodaka.\u00a0 FUMA sneaks in an inside cradle onto Fukuda but it gets a two count.\u00a0 Kodaka and FUMA both hit sidekicks to Fukuda, cover, but Teioh breaks it up.\u00a0 Kodaka throws Teioh out of the ring and then dives out onto him with a plancha.\u00a0 FUMA slams Fukuda to the mat, he goes up to the top turnbuckle but Fukuda rolls out of the way of the diving headbutt.\u00a0 Fukuda goes off the ropes and hits a lariat, cover, but it gets a two count.\u00a0 Fukuda waits for FUMA to get up and hits a chokeslam, cover, but Kodaka breaks it up.\u00a0 Teioh and Fukuda pick up FUMA, stun gun by Teioh and Fukuda picks up FUMA, but Kodaka runs in and headbutts Fukuda in the groin.\u00a0 Sole Butt by FUMA, cover, and he picks up the three count.\u00a0 Your winners and new champions:\u00a0 FUMA and Isami Kodaka<\/p>\n Match Thoughts:<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0Nothing that will excite you or blow you away, but not a bad match.\u00a0 The middle portion with the leg work was just not really interesting, they were doing the same moves over and over and it just got repetitive.\u00a0 I am all for limb work but there are so many different ways to work over the leg it just came across as boring.\u00a0 But at least FUMA did remember to sell it the rest of the match which I did appreciate, and there was a sense of urgency at the end between both teams that made the match seem like the title match that it was.\u00a0 Overall a mixed bag, but more good than bad here.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 6.0<\/span><\/p>\n (c) Hikaru Sato vs. Shuji Ishikawa<\/strong><\/span> Sato picks up Ishikawa and kicks him in the leg, he applies a waistlock but Ishikawa elbows him off. Ishikawa throws Sato into the corner and he hits a lariat. Ishikawa goes for a backdrop suplex but Sato elbows out of it, Ishikawa drives Sato into the corner and is then able to hit the backdrop suplex. Cover, but it gets a two count. Ishikawa waits for Sato to get up and charges him, but Sato bails out of the ring. The referee starts a count on Sato, Sato finally returns to the ring but immediately rolls back out with the fresh count. Ishikawa goes out after Sato but Sato rolls back into the ring, Ishikawa gets in as well and Sato punches him in the stomach. Ishikawa returns with an elbow and they trade strikes, with Ishikawa getting the better of it. High kick by Sato and he hits a jumping high kick, he goes for a second one but Ishikawa blocks it. Running knee to the face by Ishikawa, he waits for Sato to get up and hits a knee in the corner. Cover, but it gets a two count. Ishikawa picks up Sato and goes for Slash Mountain, but Sato slides off his back and applies a kimura, but Ishikawa gets out of it with a Fire Thunder Driver. Cover by Ishikawa, but Sato kicks out. Ishikawa picks up Sato and tosses him in the middle of the ring, he picks him up again and applies a full nelson, but Sato gets out of it and elbows Ishikawa. Ishikawa elbows Sato back and delivers a headbutt. Headbutt on the mat by Ishikawa, cover, but it gets a two count. Ishikawa picks up Sato and goes for a headbutt but Sato ducks it and applies a grounded front facelock. Sato rolls over Ishikawa while keeping the hold applied, cover, but it only gets a two. Sato picks up Ishikawa and hits a release German suplex. Cover, but again it gets a two count. Sato quickly applies a cross armbreaker but Ishikawa slams Sato to the mat to get out of it. Both wrestlers trade strikes while on their knees and Ishikawa hits a headbutt. Sato headbutts Ishikawa back but Ishikawa hits a scoop slam. Dropkick by Ishikawa in the corner, he waits for Sato to get up and delivers a lariat. Cover, but it gets a two count. Ishikawa picks up Sato and applies a sleeper, he then clubs Sato in the back as he goes for Splash Mountain. Sato blocks it, hard elbow by Ishikawa and he picks up Sato but Sato fights back. Headbutt by Ishikawa and he finally gets Sato up, nailing the Splash Mountain. Cover, but the bell rings just as he makes a one count. The match is a 30 Minute Draw.<\/p>\n Match Thoughts: <\/strong>I thought this was a really good match once it got cooking, but it just took too long to get there. Obviously for booking reasons they opted for the draw, and that in of itself is fine, but the first half of the match just really dragged because of it. There were spells they appeared to just be wasting time, which unfortunately does happen in draws as not all wrestlers have the ability to keep the action interesting for 30 straight minutes. Once we got about halfway through however things picked up, and it got a lot more exciting. Sato always seemed to be on the verge of winning due to a submission while Ishikawa hit a number of power moves that could have led to the ending. He just hit the Splash Mountain a few minutes too late. I think if this was a non-title match where they could do their own thing without any time requirements it could have been great, but as it was it was still very solid. Score: 6.5<\/span><\/p>\n Final Thoughts:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Best Match:<\/strong> Hikaru Sato vs. Shuji Ishikawa.<\/strong> Even though I think the requirement to get 30 minutes hurt the match, it was still a good one. Anytime you have a respected submission expert like Sato in a match it can end anytime, and both of their strikes looked really good throughout the match. Missed potential but still worth the watch.<\/p>\n MVP:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Shuji Ishikawa.\u00a0 <\/strong>Between Ishikawa and Sato, I thought that Ishikawa was just a bit more… interesting. He was trying everything to win, either it be submission moves, strikes, or big power moves. He was also the aggressor for most of the match and came out of it looking like the better wrestler. Sato was solid on the match but can be a bit of a bore, and Ishikawa had to do more than his share to keep the match entertaining.<\/p>\n Overall:<\/strong> The only match that could have saved this show was the main event, and sadly it did not. Up to that point it was just middling indy matches with career-long indy wrestlers that know their ceiling and tend to wrestle within it. Shirai is awesome but being paired up with Ladybeard in a short match obviously doesn’t play up her strong suits. The wrestlers I had not heard of going into this event I will likely forget within a few minutes as none really made a positive impression. Fans of Ishikawa and Sato may want to get the event just to see their match, but beyond that you can safely avoid this one.<\/p>\n Union Pro MAX Championship: Hikaru Sato vs. Shuji Ishikawa, UWA World Tag Team Championship: Hiroshi Fukuda and MEN’s Teioh vs. FUMA and Isami Kodaka, more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":81,"featured_media":14216,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[399,40],"tags":[233],"class_list":["post-14214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fsreview","category-reviews","tag-puroresu"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/81"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14214"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14217,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14214\/revisions\/14217"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
