NOMINATING: Daichi Hashimoto VS Katsuhiko Nakajima (10/13/2013) – ZERO1 [DailyMotion]

This match is unfortunately brought down quite a bit by Hashimoto, who doesn’t really sell at all when he’s on the offence and whose execution of moves isn’t as sharp as they should be to match his character and emotions. Apart from this, this match is very entertaining and Nakajima is great in this. The only bad thing about Nakajima in this match is his outfit. To start, Hashimoto lets his emotions lead him, while Nakajima tries to remain stoic (but can't resist goading Hashimoto). If Hashimoto wants to make a name for himself, he'll have to find someone else to go along with that plan. Nakajima's early taunting and Head Lock make sure Hashimoto gets the message. Nakajima will even sit down and let Hashimoto kick him in the back. But as much will and drive Hashimoto has, Nakajima always shows him he's got a long way to go by putting him down with a smart strike or counter. At some point, Nakajima seems to decide he's going to push Hashimoto's buttons and hurt him a little bit more to test his mettle. There's even the spot where Hashimoto is slapping Nakajima while he's in a submission hold, so Nakajima lets go and beats him up a little bit. I always love that. The only thing Hashimoto does very well is clutching Nakajima’s hand while he’s got the STF locked in. Sadly his kicks and fire are lacking. Nakajima, on the other hand, has some really vicious elbows. The aftermath plays up Nakajima’s veteran character and Hashimoto’s fiery character and leaves open the possibility for a rematch.

Nominating Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Ryuichi Kawakami 6/30/13. Shocked it was not nominated before. It was the best of the Sekimoto matches this year and blows away the match with Shinobu which has been nominated. It was the best match I saw live this year.

Completely agree with this. If you haven't seen this match, you need to.

Shuji Ishikawa vs Masashi Takeda (30.June.2013)

The best BJW deathmatch in around 2 years. Utter madness, Takeda took a huge about of punishment, the crowd were on fire and it features the biggest "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST" moment i've seen in wrestling for some time.
