Ryan Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Davey Richards' replacement for the current NOAH tour seems to be Tatsuhito Takaiwa. I'm not sure if that's a lateral move or a downgrade at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 NOAH, 11/27/2013, Korakuen Hall1,200 fans1. Mitsuhiro Kitamiya defeated Hitoshi Kumano in 6:43 with a grounded octopus hold.2.

BrianS81177 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I've been reading some of the recent NJPW results.... has Captain New Japan EVER won a match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 This is the last match that he won a direct fall in without it being a DQ. He had a dozen or more direct wins in 2012. They were all over Gedo or Jado(one of them). He did win a few times by DQ as well, but that doesn't really count since he's just getting beaten up. NJPW, 9/21/12Niihama Citizen Gymnasium1,250 Fans 2. Captain New Japan beat Gedo (10:44) with the Caribbean Death Grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Moar Wrestle-1 thoughts! Gasp! There were a couple of matches I'd actually like to see. Sekimoto/Okabayashi vs Kanemoto/Minoru and Funaki vs Takayama ending in a towel throw. This KAI vs Nakanoue fued is setting Japan on fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgian_Waffle Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Ugh yeah and I actually really like Nakanoue, unlike Sanada and KAI whom I both can't stand. But he's not a main event dude (he'd make a great #2 guy in a top tag team, or a solid upper-mid-card underdog), and I'm guessing this string of matches headlining against KAI are just gonna show off his weaknesses.Although until they start doing more televised shows, who knows. How about I bitch about the W-1 I've actually seen? Finally watched Funaki & Kono vs. Laughter7 from the debut show and holy hell did Masayuki Kono ever stink it up in there.

Thomas Bugg Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Okay, I've seen some AWESOME New Japan matches this year. But I've been searching the net and doing all kinds of searches, and can't find a list or anything about the best matches of All-Japan from 2013. Is there even such a thing? I mean, I know New Japan is blowing just about every wrestling company on the planet out of the water with their great stuff, but surely All-Japan has to have at least a 4-star match from this past year, right?

From looking at the All Japan Yes/No Thread there have been a few good ones this year, but no promotion is putting on the match quality that New Japan is right now. But keep an eye on that thread, something is bound to pop up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
