Charlie M. Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Big fan of American Alpha as a team on the rise but Okabayashi is about as good as it gets right now in Japan, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 American Alpha are grat and have te chance to really make people care about tag wrestling IF WWE don't screw them up when they hit the main roster. That my friends, is a mighty BIG if. My heart wants to vote for AA but my head tells me the Okayabashi has been like a top 10 guy for me since like 2013. In this argument the head wins.

Lazlo Woodbine Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 American Alpha are fun and all, but this is Yuji Okabayashi. He's a giant baby who beats the shit out of guys big and small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'll need to watch some of Yuji, but I'm finding myself to be leaning heavily towards the NXT people. AA are no exception. They really have that chemistry together where they're very much a team and best friends on top of that. Gable is wonderful with using his amateur moves in the match and he has this incredible flow to him. Plus while he's not super charismatic he still has enough to make you want to watch more. Jordan has made for a great straight man in that he initially didn't want anything to do with the team or the phrase. The evolution over time is organic and great in that he might not be totally sold on the phrase, but loves the team. And his comeback is a joy as well, I can watch him suplex fools all day. Oh, and bonus points for doing the hot tag with Cass, that was tons of fun. The only thing I can see against them right now is the formula is too predictable, somebody mentioned in the NXT thread that changing it up would be good and I agree. But aside from that damn I love watching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Remember: Vote Okabayashi not just because he is awesome, but we might destroy DEAN with his next match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I have loved the AA stuff I watched to research the vote but holy fuck, Okabayashi is a fucking super worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Okabayashi hit a morbidly obese man in the ample ass with a lariat. Gable and Jordan are really good. I'm going to watch more Okabayashi but right now I leaning towards him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I voted AA. As good as I thought Okabayashi was, AA stepped it up another notch. The fan cam stuff of theirs, couple with the TV taping stuff, is about the best tag work in the country. And is anyone as good a hot tag as Jason Jordan? I almost don't feel like it's a fair fight because it's two great dudes forming one awesome Megazord fighting one really awesome opponent in Okabayashi.

The Man Known as Dan Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 AA is weird in that they still have yet to have a great match as a tag team yet on tape. Which is mostly lack of opportunity, I will admit, but they don't even have the matches that Dash and Dawson do going for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanWaco Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 What if you kind of find both overrated? I'll probably vote AA because I think they have a ton of potential, and they've had matches I really liked. But live I was shocked at how flat Gable was as an FIP that has soured me a little. Plus Okabayashi had the good since to let Hama's obesity carry him to a good match. This is actually harder than it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I must be one of the few who thinks that American Alpha vs. Corbin and Rhyno was the best tag team match in the whole company last year. I thought that it was legitimately great on two re-watches. I liked it even better than New Day vs. Kidd and Cesaro 2/3 falls, and the latter was a fucking fantastic match.

Chicken Sandwich Carl Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Okabayashi is awesome and fat. But AA are maybe the thing I look most forward to on weekly wrestling, so I voted AA. (I also voted AA because I sort of thought they'd be losing by a chunk from the way the posts in this thread read. Whoops.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Okabayashi is the only reason to watch BJPW, especially the Poseidan adventure match. I think he's been pretty great every time I've seen him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
