Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 I thoroughly enjoyed this match.\u00a0 Harada is in the right place to give Kumano some good offense since even though he has been wrestling for seven years, he is still relatively new to NOAH so he is still working his way up the card too.\u00a0 Kumano showing fire by attacking\u00a0Harada right from the start was the right way to go as it established this wasn\u2019t going to be your typical \u2018young lion\u2019 match.\u00a0 My only criticism is that Kumano\u2019s strikes don\u2019t look very hard at all, he does need to work on making more powerful looking strikes as NOAH is a very strike-based promotion and he won\u2019t get very far with weak looking clubs to the chest.\u00a0 Overall a really solid opener though.\u00a0\u00a0Score:\u00a0 6.5<\/span><\/p>\n

Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 Pretty rough.\u00a0 Miscommunications are more memorable in short matches and there was clearly at least one here, if not more.\u00a0 The ending was also incredibly sudden as Kitamiya had been winning most the match but fell to a tombstone piledriver, which as far as I know is not even one of Hirayanagi\u2019s finishing moves.\u00a0 It just seemed like someone said \u201cthat\u2019s enough\u201d and they went straight to the end.\u00a0 Not a very good one.\u00a0\u00a0Score:\u00a0 3.0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hajime Ohara vs. Yoshinari Ogawa<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/strong>Ohara goes for a single leg to start the match but Ogawa blocks it and applies a wristlock.\u00a0 Drop toehold by Ohara and he applies a bridging stretch hold.\u00a0 Ogawa gets back up, wristlock by Ogawa and he takes Ohara to the mat with a hammerlock.\u00a0 Knees to the arm by Ogawa, he picks up Ohara and tosses him back down to the mat.\u00a0 Wristlock by Ogawa but Ohara pushes Ogawa down and applies a modified Indian Deathlock.\u00a0 He releases the hold after a moment, stomp by Ohara, he picks up Ogawa but Ogawa applies a hammerlock.\u00a0 Ohara pushes him into the corner to force a break, Irish whip by Ogawa, reversed, but Ogawa blocks the hiptoss attempt with a Cobra Twist.\u00a0 Ohara reverses it into a Cobra Twist of his own but Ogawa hiptosses out of it and applies an arm submission.

Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 I guess 47 year old Ogawa just couldn\u2019t afford to take a loss here at this stage in his career.\u00a0 This match was more used to help continue a storyline, but it seems like this would be a good time to put over the young heel team with an actual victory.\u00a0 Anyway, the match itself was pretty slow and nothing really meaningful happened until the end of it.\u00a0 Ogawa is limited, and the match kept a pretty slow pace with neither wrestler really looking like he was on the brink of winning until the Muy Bien came into the picture.\u00a0 Not a good match or a good ending.\u00a0\u00a0Score:\u00a0 3.0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taiji Ishimori vs. Xtra Large<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 I was instantly disappointed because I thought that Ishimori was wrestling a really fat dude, but Xtra Large is just a normal looking wrestler from Chile.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t bad per se, for a while it looked like Xtra Large wasn\u2019t going to get any meaningful offense at all but finally towards the end he did get in a few of his moves.\u00a0 There was never any doubt on who was winning this match so it was more about the journey, and it was just a bit slower than you\u2019d expect from a short match with Ishimori.\u00a0 The ending picked things up though and at least it wasn\u2019t a squash anyway.\u00a0\u00a0Score:\u00a0 5.5<\/span><\/p>\n

Jonah Rock vs. Shinya Ishikawa<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/strong>Tie-up to start, Rock pushes Ishikawa into the ropes and he gives a clean break.\u00a0 Tie-up again, and they break cleanly.\u00a0 Side headlock by Ishikawa, Rock Irish whips out of it and they collide with Rock getting the better of it.\u00a0 Ishikawa goes off the ropes again and runs into Ishikawa a second time.\u00a0 Armdrag by Ishikawa and he hits a dropkick to Rock.\u00a0 Ishikawa kicks Rock down in the corner, snapmare, and Ishikawa applies a headscissors.\u00a0 Back up, elbow by Ishikawa but Rock elbows him back.\u00a0 They trade elbows, side headlock by Rock, Ishikawa Irish whips out of it but Rock shoulderblocks him down.\u00a0 Rock goes off the ropes and hits a bodyslam, cover, but it gets a two count.\u00a0 Ishikawa rolls out of the ring but Rock goes out after him and slams Ishikawa into the apron.\u00a0 Rock then Irish whips Ishikawa into the guard rail before picking him up and headbutting him up the aisle.\u00a0 More headbutts by Rock and he slides Ishikawa back into the ring.\u00a0 Rock gets back in as well and he applies a reverse chinlock to Ishikawa.\u00a0 Ishikawa gets a foot on the ropes to force a break, and Rock stands on Ishikawa\u2019s midsection using the ropes for leverage.\u00a0 Falling headbutt by Rock, cover, but it gets two.\u00a0 Rock picks up Ishikawa, elbows by Ishikawa, Irish whip, reversed, Ishikawa goes for a sunset flip but Rock sits on him for a two count.<\/p>\n

Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Another pretty pedestrian affair.\u00a0 These short matches with wrestlers that don\u2019t have a lot of charisma isn\u2019t doing this event any favors so far.\u00a0\u00a0 It was technically an acceptable match but it took them awhile to get going and some of the \u2018rest\u2019 spots were incredibly silly (since when is a grounded waistlock a real move?).\u00a0\u00a0 They also didn\u2019t always appear to be on the same page which would explain some of the repeated rest holds. \u00a0Not a great showing for Ishikawa.\u00a0\u00a0Score:\u00a0 4.0<\/span><\/p>\n

Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 This was better than the last few matches.\u00a0 I don\u2019t really like that big moves like a piledriver on the apron are so easily shrugged off, but unfortunately that is so commonplace that it doesn\u2019t hurt the match but so much.\u00a0 Marufuji winning with a submission was interesting as he had really done nothing of note to set that up.\u00a0 Kawakami looked solid but seems a little over-reliant on elbow smashes.\u00a0 Overall the match was perfectly fine for the mid-card and at least they got a little bit more time.\u00a0\u00a0Score:\u00a0 6.0<\/span><\/p>\n

Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 Surprised that Nicholls actually won.\u00a0 A decent match, Yone never really did much in it and was never in a position to actually win the match since they spent a few minutes outside the ring and otherwise Nicholls dominated.\u00a0 But it was a decisive ending and they didn\u2019t really waste much time with rest holds, which is a plus when the match isn\u2019t going that long anyway.\u00a0\u00a0Score:\u00a0 6.5<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Thoughts:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Best Match:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Atsushi Kotoge vs. Takashi Sugiura.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0I thought this was a great match, and honestly I did not know that Kotoge had it in him.\u00a0 It had fast exchanges, no wasted time, brutal shots, and a decisive ending.\u00a0 A really good display by both men here.<\/p>\n

MVP:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0KENTA.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Winning the main event always helps, but it also was a very decisive way to win.\u00a0 KENTA showed that he was class above Taniguchi, which he is, and cemented himself as being the next in line for a title shot.<\/p>\n

Overall:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 I appreciate them having lots of matches, singles matches at that, as it gives the wrestlers more of an opportunity to make an impression.\u00a0 Some of the matches were bad, but the second half of the card really got things going and some of the matches were really good or even great. Even with the stinkers I think this event is worth watching as it offers a variety of action and displays the best (and worst) of what NOAH currently has to offer.<\/p>\n
