NOAH: Great Voyage in Tokyo Vol.2: 08/05/11


NOAH: Great Voyage in Tokyo Vol.2: 08/05/11

1. Katsuhiko Nakajima & Kento Miyahara & Satoshi Kajiwara Vs Atsushi Aoki V Taiji Ishimori & Mikey Nicholls: In the Opener, the Juniors offered a very good show, though the crowd was quiet the whole match. Nakajima shouldn't be here as I think he's one of the best Juniors in Japan. On the other hand, I think Kento could be a good Heavie in the near future.***

2. Akira Taue & Kentaro Shiga Vs Yoshinari Ogawa & Masao Inoue: Taue was the only wrestler on the ring I saw before, but I had never heard about Shiga, the match was basically a Comedy Match, nothing odd, I don't think these wrestlers could do anything else, but it wasn't a bad match at all.**

3. Kensuke Sasaki & Takashi Okita Vs Takeshi Morishima & Yutaka Yoshie: Very good match, though I felt it as a little short. I hadn't seen Yoshie before and I was looking forward to it, but when I saw him, I was disappointed , I expected another type of Superheavyweight, not an enormous ball. Morishima was great, he stole the show, but it's logic.***1/4

4. Go Shiozaki Vs Shuhei Taniguchi: This was a heck of a match, I've never seen Taniguchi before and he impressed me well. I didn't expect the match to be that longer, nearly twenty minutes because it was down the card, but they made it epic, Go was incredible out there and I hope Shuhei continues to evolve. I give them a S because it's a match that I'd recommend to watch and despite of being that long, it wasn't boring anytime and had lots of exchanges and Fast Pace, but everything under control.**** S

5. Mohammed Yone Vs Genba Hirayanagi & Yoshinobu Kanemaru & KENTA: The storyline is Yone fighting against the three No Mercy members one after another. The first one is Genba that fought with his tricks and all of this stuff that bores me. After him, Kanemaru comes in and shows a lot more than his partner and he even reached to brainbuster Yone three times in a row, real shocking. And finally, after his two stablemates, KENTER ENTERs~~~ into the match, with his new looks that I prefer so much compared to his oldies. That was the fight everyone(including me) wanted to see, a good exchange of slaps, but Yone was not at 100% and it was notified. In a whole, a very good match, but Genba failed to impress me and Kanemaru had no reaction at all. ***1/4

6. GHC Jr. Heavyweight Championship: Kotaro Suzuki Vs Ricky Marvin: Like in every defence made by Kotaro, this match was too longer but good. And there wasn't any selling at all, despite of the fact that Ricky was targeting the leg of Suzuki for a while, good final sequence and nothing more.***1/2

7. GHC Tag Team Championship: Yoshihiro Takayama & Takuma Sano Vs Jun Akiyama & Akitoshi Saito: Very good tag team bout, but a twenty-minute match and the fact that everyone in the ring were over fourty years old was not a good mix at all. Moreover, the guy in the best shape(Akiyama) was the one who had less offence in the match. That's it, a good match but it could have been better without that long timing and with Akiyama more active.***1/2

8. GHC Heavyweight Championship: Takashi Sugiura Vs Minoru Suzuki: Only listening Kaze Ni Nare, I know this'll be a heck of a bout. Sugi started strong dropping MiSu with a bunch of big boots, but Suzuki caught him in one and began to target Sugi's legs. Well, in the end, the leg work(though Sugi sold it quite good) wasn't important when it all converged in a really nasty exchange of legit punches , real brutal. Maybe the finish was out of time, but, still a great match, like every single defence Sugiura has made this year and a half, what a man.****1/4 C


That was a very good show, but I expected more from the two last matches. Anyway, I saw a great match by Go and Shuhei, that recomforts me.

ROH: Death Before Dishonor VIII


ROH: Death Before Dishonor VIII 
1. Kevin Steen Vs El Generico: ****1/4
2. Up In Smoke Vs All-Night Express: ***
3. Austin Aries Vs Delirious: **1/2
4. Gaunlet Match: ***1/4
5. Pick 6 Series: Kenny Omega Vs Christopher Daniels: ****
6. ROH World Tag Team Championship: Kings Of Wrestling Vs The Briscoes – No DQ: ****1/4
7. ROH World Championship: Tyler Black Vs Davey Richards: ****3/4


Puntuación: ***3/4
Recomendación: Alta.
Comentario: Combatazo en el Opener gracias a la tan lograda rivalidad de Steen/Generico, que seguro que nos traerá grandes combates durante este año. Buen combate por parejas, pero demasiado corto. Mal combate entre Aries y Delirious y, además, con final sucio. No me gustó demasiado el Gaunlet ya que todos los luchadores lucharon a medio gas. Combatazo entre Omega/Daniels, pero podría haber sido mejor. Brutal Brawl por el campeonato por parejas, aunque con un final un tanto decepcionante. Combatazo por todo lo alto en el Main Event, sin duda uno de los Matchs of the Year, pero vamos que no le doy las cino por el anticlimático final. Uno de los mejores Shows del año, pero me quedo con la sensación de que todos los combates podrían haber sido mejores.

9.Brad Allen Vs Jimmy Jacobs: ***3/4
10.Claudio Castagnoli Vs Chuck Taylor: ****1/2


Puntuación: ***1/4
Recomendación: Media/Alta.
Comentario: Buen Opener, Cole demostró estar verde aunque parece bastante bueno y Callihan se mostró muy intenso. El segundo combate fue muy bien hasta el desastroso final que lo estropeó un poco. El combate de las mujeres fue un mierdolo. Muy buen combate el 3 Way por parejas, Team Beyond me sorprendió muy gratamente. No entiendo como el Moxley/Younger haya durado lo mismo que el Opener y el 3 Way Tag Team juntos, cuando ha sido un mierdolo. Combatazo entre Hero y Fish gracias a la historia que contaron. Buen 4-Way, aunque muy corto. Muy decepcionante el octavo combate, ya que creía que se iba a robar el Show. Muy buen combate entre Jacobs y Allen, pero nada especial. Combatazo entre Claudio Castagnoli y Chuck Taylor en el Main Event. Buen evento de EVOLVE, pero su predecesor fue bastante mejor y parece que el que le sigue también lo será.

PWG: DDT4, 09/05/10 
1.LTP & Johnny Goodtime Vs Young Bucks: ***3/4
2.Chuck Taylor & Scott Lost Vs ¡Peligro Abejas!: ***1/2
3.Cutler Brothers Vs Roderick Strong & Ryan Taylor: ***1/2
4.Kamikaze Vs The Briscoes: ***3/4
5.Semifinal 1: ****1/4
6.Semifinal 2: ***1/4
7.Chris Hero Vs Brandon Boham: ***3/4
8.Final: ****3/4


Puntuación: ****
Recomendación: Muy Alta.
Comentario: Combatazo en el Opener, muy buena Spotfest que no tiene más nota porque duró demasiado poco. El segundo combate también fue muy bueno, pero sustituyó la Spotfest por la comedia, me pareció un poco peor. Otro muy buen combate el de los Cutler, más largo que los dos anteriores. El combate entre Kamikaze y los Briscoes fue el más largo de todos los cuartos de final, pero le faltaron falsos finales, decepcionante, muy buen combate de todas maneras. La primera semifinal fue ya un gran combate. La segunda semifinal no me gustó nada porque tuvo un final horrible. Muy buen combate el de Hero, lo único malo es que fue lento al principio. La final fue un auténtico combatazo, al que no le doy las 5 estrellas porque sólo duró 15 minutos. Claramente, uno de los Shows del año gracias a que el nivel de Wrestling se mantuvo y no hubo ninguna mierda, pero me decepcionó, esperaba más de un combate excelente.

1. John Zandig Vs Nate Webb – Pane of Glass Match: **3/4 
2. "Sick" Nick Mondo Vs JC Bailey - Light Tubes Match: ***1/4
3. Necro Butcher Vs Corporal Robinson – 4 Corners of Pain Match: **1/2

5. Semifinal 1 – Fans Bring Weapons: *****

7. Messiah & B-Boy Vs Sonjay Dutt & Ruckus: ***1/2
8. Final – 200 Light Tubes, No Rope Barbed Wire Deathmatch: ***


Puntuación: ***1/2
Recomendación: Alta.
Comentario: Los combates de la primera ronda estuvieron bastante bien, pero esperaba más de los dos últimos. Las dos semifinales fueron increíbles y creo que se merecen las 5 estrellas, ya que uno de ellos ha sido el combate más brutal que jamás he visto y el otro incluía el mejor Spot que mis ojos han visto. Buena Spotfest en el combate Bonus por parejas. Descafeinada final, ampliamente superada por ambas semifinales. Bueno, aunque la final fue decepcionante, el peor combate de ambos luchadores en todo el torneo, hasta el momento es el mejor TOD que he visto.
