<\/span><\/p>\nDate: May 4th, 2014 THE GREAT MUTA RETURNS YAY! And there are other matches too. Unlike the last few W1 events I reviewed, this one is not as heavy with the TNA participation. In fact, it has a participation from a lot of different promotions as wrestlers from ZERO1, Big Japan, K-DOJO, DRADITION, and WNC had matches on the card to give it some variety and hopefully some entertaining pairings. Here is the full card:<\/p>\n – Kaz Hayashi, Shuji Kondo, and MAZADA vs. Koji Kanemoto, Andy Wu, and Daiki Inaba Let’s get to it!<\/p>\n Kaz Hayashi, Shuji Kondo, and MAZADA vs. Koji Kanemoto, Andy Wu, and Daiki Inaba<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 A quick and entertaining match.\u00a0 When you have a six man tag that only goes six minutes, it has to be faced paced and this match certainly was.\u00a0 Kondo was the star here but everyone was able to get their spots in to shine.\u00a0 A good way to open up the event, it lacked substance but was still fun to watch.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 6.5<\/span><\/p>\n Kazushi Miyamoto vs. Kikutaro<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Even by the normal standards of Kikutaro\u2019s match, this one was short and pointless.\u00a0 I have no idea what they are doing with Miyamoto, he isn\u2019t a useless wrestler by any means but is stuck with silly comedy matches.\u00a0 Kikutaro matches can be fun and entertaining, this one just wasn\u2019t long enough to reach that level.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 3.0<\/span><\/p>\n HUB vs. Minoru Tanaka<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0I really like HUB and it was fun to see him have such a competitive match with Tanaka.\u00a0 In fact he dominated the match and hit all his big moves, sadly Tanaka still picked up the win.\u00a0 It was a good display by HUB though and an entertaining match from start to finish.\u00a0 I wish it was a bit longer, but they used the time they had the best they could to put on a really solid match.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 7.0<\/span><\/p>\n Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Ryota Hama<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019m not a big fan of these Hama matches, he has so few spots he can do so he just repeats the same ones ad nauseam.\u00a0 Hard to believe he is a former Triple Crown Champion.\u00a0 Sekimoto was game but obviously was limited by this opponent.\u00a0 W1 events would be a lot better overall if they just stopped having these identical matches on every event, I can\u2019t be the only one that gets tired of them.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 3.0<\/span><\/p>\n (c) Yuji Hino and HIROKI vs. Nakanoue and Seiki Yoshioka<\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 A really fun match.\u00a0 Nakanoue showed some fire here, which he doesn\u2019t always do, and Hino is a beast.\u00a0 Yoshioka was mostly used to fly around and get beaten up, and he did fine at both of these things.\u00a0 Too short to be an epic and HIROKI didn\u2019t do a lot, but as it was presented I found it very entertaining.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 7.5<\/span><\/p>\n Masayuki Kono, Ryoji Sai, and KAZMA SAKAMOTO vs. Fujinami, Funaki, and LEONA<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0This wasn\u2019t really given enough time to be anything of note.\u00a0 Some of these wrestlers individually are very entertaining, but squeezed in a short six man tag they didn\u2019t really get a chance to do anything special.\u00a0 The hot tag to Fujinami was good but the ending was just so sudden, it just felt like there should have been more to do.\u00a0 The action wasn\u2019t bad, it just wasn\u2019t memorable, not much to this match.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 5.0<\/span><\/p>\n (c) Leon Van Gasteren vs. Hiroshi Yamato<\/strong><\/span> Round One:\u00a0 Yamato goes for Gasteren\u2019s leg to start the match but Gasteren sidesteps it.\u00a0 Tie-up, waistlock by Gasteren and he takes Yamato to the mat.\u00a0 Yamato applies an armbar but Gasteren gets out of it and goes for Yamato\u2019s leg.\u00a0 Yamato reverses it into an attempted cross armbreaker but Gasteren quickly gets a foot on the ropes.\u00a0 Back up, tie-up, waistlock by Yamato but Gasteren applies a wristlock.\u00a0 Yamato reverses it but Gasteren monkey flips out of it.\u00a0 Trip by Yamato, cover, but it gets a one count.\u00a0 Gasteren returns the favor and both men return to their feet.\u00a0 Wristlock by Yamato, reversed by Gasteren into a hammerlock and he applies a side headlock.\u00a0 Yamato Irish whips out of it but Gasteren hits a shoulderblock.\u00a0 Hiptoss by Yamato but Gasteren kicks Yamato back.\u00a0 Gasteren gets Yamato to the mat but the bell rings, signaling the end of round one.<\/p>\n Round Two:\u00a0 Yamato rushes Gasteren to start and gets him into the corner, and Yamato chops Gasteren in the chest.\u00a0 Gasteren elbows Yamato back, Irish whip by Yamato but Gasteren boots Yamato and hits a spinning headscissors.\u00a0 Yamato falls out of the ring, Gasteren charges him but Yamato slides back into the ring and dropkicks Gasteren to the floor.\u00a0 Yamato charges the ropes and he hits a tope suicida to the floor.\u00a0 Yamato slides Gasteren back into the ring, stomp by Yamato and he picks up Gasteren, throwing him into the corner.\u00a0 Yamato picks up Gasteren and hits a shoulder tackle.\u00a0 Yamato goes off the ropes and he hits a crossbody followed by an elbow drop.\u00a0 Cover, but it gets a two count.\u00a0 Yamato picks up Gasteren and throws him into the corner, Yamato puts Gasteren up on the top turnbuckle, he then joins him but Gasteren elbows Yamato into the Tree of Woe and hits a slingshot elbow drop.\u00a0 Gasteren then hits a running dropkick to Yamato while he is still hanging in the corner.\u00a0 The bell then rings, end of Round Two.<\/p>\n Round Three:\u00a0 Elbow by Gasteren to start the round and he clubs Yamato to the mat.\u00a0 Backdrop suplex by Gasteren, cover, but it gets a two count.\u00a0 Gasteren applies a stretch hold, Gasteren picks up Yamato, Irish whip, and Gasteren hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.\u00a0 Cover, but it gets a two count.\u00a0 Gasteren applies a crab hold but Yamato makes it to the ropes.\u00a0 Gasteren picks up Yamato and he hits a scoop slam.\u00a0 Gasteren goes up to the top turnbuckle but Yamato punches him, Yamato joins Gasteren up top but Gasteren pushes him off.\u00a0 Yamato springs back up top and hits a spider overhead suplex.\u00a0 Missile dropkick by Yamato, he charges Gasteren in the corner but Gasteren moves.\u00a0 Yamato goes off the ropes and he hits a spear, he picks up Gasteren and hits an uppercut.\u00a0 Northern Lights Suplex by Yamato but Gasteren gets a shoulder up.\u00a0 Yamato picks up Gasteren and applies a waistlock, hitting a release German suplex.\u00a0 Yamato charges Gasteren but Gasteren hits a lariat.\u00a0 Gasteren picks up Yamato and goes for a suplex, but Yamato blocks it and hits a vertical suplex.\u00a0 Cover, but it gets two.\u00a0 The bell rings as the round is over.<\/p>\n Round Four:\u00a0 Kick by Yamato to start things off, Yamato goes for a suplex but Gasteren blocks it.\u00a0 Clubs to the back by Yamato but Gasteren dumps Yamato on his head.\u00a0 Springboard kick by Gasteren off the ropes, and Yamato falls out of the ring.\u00a0 Gasteren goes off the far ropes and sails out onto Yamato with a tope suicida. \u00a0Gasteren picks up Yamato and slides him back into the ring.\u00a0 Elbow drop by Gasteren and he throws Yamato into the corner.\u00a0 Gasteren powerbombs Yamato out of the corner, he goes up to the top turnbuckle but Yamato gets his knees up when he goes for the diving body press.\u00a0 Elbows by Yamato but Gasteren fires back and they trade shots.\u00a0 Headbutt by Yamato, he goes off the ropes but Gasteren goes for a cutter.\u00a0 Yamato blocks it and goes for the Northern Lights Bomb, but Gasteren blocks it.\u00a0 Superkick by Gasteren, he picks up Yamato and hits rolling vertical suplexes.\u00a0 Waistlock by Gasteren and he hits a release German suplex.\u00a0 German Cutter by Gasteren, cover, and he picks up the three count.\u00a0 Your winner and still champion:\u00a0 Leon Van Gasteren<\/p>\n Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0I hadn\u2019t seen Gasteren before, he seems like a perfectly fine wrestler.\u00a0 Aside from one noticeable miscue I thought this was a really solid match.\u00a0 Having Rounds is a nice touch, I don\u2019t know if I would like it in every match ever but it was a nice change of pace here.\u00a0 The action kept up the entire match which played into the theory that they have a chance to catch their breath between rounds.\u00a0 Some iffy transitions but overall a fun match, better than I was expecting.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 7.0<\/span><\/p>\n Abyss and Kazarian vs. Great Muta and TAJIRI<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0This was a bit too much for my taste, which says a lot since I love Muta.\u00a0 But three mists within a minute period is just overkill, it\u2019s a cute spot but it doesn\u2019t need to be spammed.\u00a0 Also, Muta is broken and can\u2019t walk\u2026 I know this is common knowledge but I figured I\u2019d point it out again as it is distracting.\u00a0 Anyway there were some fun individual moments in the match, just as TAJIRI\u2019s failed Tarantula or Abyss slamming Kazarian into the tacks (even though it was a bit cheesy, what else would you expect from a match with Abyss and Muta in it?), overall it was just awkward.\u00a0 Abyss is horrible now as he can\u2019t even hit decent lariats, and with an average age of 43 there just wasn\u2019t a wrestler to control things and make the match not go at a snail\u2019s pace (which isn\u2019t Kazarian\u2019s fault but the others were dragging here).\u00a0 As a \u2018special attraction\u2019, I get it, but as a match it just wasn\u2019t very good.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 4.0<\/span><\/p>\n KAI vs. Manabu Soya<\/strong><\/span> Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 They really tried to make this feel epic, so I tip my hat to them, but it just wasn\u2019t going to happen.\u00a0 That is not to say it was a bad match, it wasn\u2019t, but it wasn\u2019t as good as they were trying to make it.\u00a0 They were trying to do the \u2018we are exhausted but still beating each other\u2019 thing but the match was too short with no big moves to justify it.\u00a0 It either has to be a long match, or there has to be blood for something for that to work, but doing it nine minutes into a pretty normal match it just feels forced.\u00a0 They work together really well which is a plus and it held my attention, it just didn\u2019t feel like a main event.\u00a0 No lack of effort, it just didn\u2019t feel like it was on the right spot on the card, something was missing.\u00a0 Score:\u00a0 6.5<\/span><\/p>\n Final Thoughts:<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n Best Match:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yuji Hino and HIROKI vs. Nakanoue and Seiki Yoshioka<\/strong>. Hino matches are the secret gem of WRESTLE-1, I am sure he is always entertaining but this is the first time I\u2019ve really gotten a chance to watch his matches and I\u2019m impressed.\u00a0 Nakanoue was on fire as well and Yoshioka flew around enough to be entertaining but not enough to be spotty.\u00a0 HIROKI wasn\u2019t special but didn\u2019t do anything to hurt the match, and overall it was just a lot of fun to watch.<\/p>\n MVP:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Manabu Soya<\/strong>.\u00a0 I know I didn\u2019t say all nice things about their match, but I have to give them respect for giving it all they had.\u00a0 Soya fought this like a hate-filled brawl\u2026 sometimes it felt forced but he went at it full vigor from start to finish.\u00a0 He also has nice lariats and in general has been one of the more entertaining wrestlers in W-1.\u00a0 He wasn\u2019t perfect as some things are still coming together, but things are looking up overall.<\/p>\n Overall:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0This certainly was not the worst WRESTLE-1 event I have seen this year.\u00a0 It had a couple really fun matches and a solid main event that wasn\u2019t great but had tons of effort.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t like everything, the Muta tag was too \u2018special attraction\u2019 even for my taste and the six man tag shoved too much into one match, but there was certainly more good than bad here.\u00a0 If you have to watch something in W-1 for 2014, so far this is the event I\u2019d recommend for overall value.<\/p>\n Abyss and Kazarian vs. Great Muta and TAJIRI, KAI vs. Manabu Soya, Yuji Hino and HIROKI vs. Nakanoue and Seiki Yoshioka, and more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":81,"featured_media":14938,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[399,40],"tags":[233,370],"class_list":["post-14937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fsreview","category-reviews","tag-puroresu","tag-wrestle-1"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14937","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=14937"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14937\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14939,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14937\/revisions\/14939"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
