Kang Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) The poster with the 6 on it is who they're pushing and will be pushing it seems. They kept most matches short with the main nearly 30 mins. Spoiler Muto's promos post match comments are kinda face but heelish. He put over Go as dangerous and strong and Muto wants to only defend the belt twice a year like boxing. Aims to have no spectator restrictions. Kenoh vs Kendo for the GHC National is next.

Jiji Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Spoiler I gotta start watching Noah more. All hail the new King of Japanese pro wrestling. Although Mutoh at his age should be more mindful of COVID. Edited February 12, 2021 by Jiji 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Spoiler Gotta admit, Mutoh being world champ again right after SANADA fails to ascend again is kinda funny. (Not that the GHC and IWGP are on the same level right now, but still.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit, would have never thought about that. I like it a lot more now. The simplicity of the last one was very nice and I was thinking this one looked too much like an American football team logo, but the arc thing is cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Spoiler Well, it was about as good as you can expect from a match involving a 58 year old man with knees made of oatmeal. I mean he can barely walk, and probably shouldn't, and you could tell. I really wasn't sure whether him deciding to not do the moonsault was a piece of psychology or a decision made on the fly. Same goes for him not being able to lift Go for the Frosion on the first try. The grappling at the beginning was good enough. My distaste for the Fighting Spirit no-selling is still strong but Mutoh's selling has always been staring off in the distance really. Go almost murdered him with that brainbuster (or was it an attempted Go Flasher?) off the top, fuckin' hell. If Mutoh only works twice a year and his opponents work to his limitations then this could pass for at least a year. This match reminded me of something Jericho wrote in his first book, that Mutoh was one of the guys who had "red light fever" who would only really turn it on when the cameras rolled. Now we know that is not really the case considering the enormous body of Lazy Mutoh work out there, but this had to be his best match since at least the early 2000s so I give him credit. Maybe the red light worked this time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Noah stuff Spoiler Kendo Kashin said ever he since entered pro wrestling he wanted to challenge for the GHC National title. The title was made in 2019 so the dude's being wacky with spacetime. Anyway as for Kaito he wants to challenge Mutoh for the GHC HW title, maybe Mutoh will refuse and face someone else first. I guess we could expect both National title and some non title main events for this year if Mutoh rarely defends his title. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I enjoyed the match for what it was. It felt a little more like a spectacle than a match at times. Spoiler That fucked up super Go Flasher! A little sad Go's reign ended like this but the match was good. Just get me to Kaito winning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Okay, Kendo Kashin doing the Robbie Keane boyhood dream joke I just used for Marty Jannetty last week rules. I don't think I've ever seen a singles match of his I enjoyed but I respect him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Spoiler Yeah, he did a retirement tour for the moonsault before the most recent double knee surgeries, including that really fun tag against Danshoku Dino at I believe 2019's Peter Pan.

I've been hearing good things about Go over that past year maybe. I probably won't get the Peacock network after WWE network moves over there so it'll leave me room for another promotion to follow. I might consider following NOAH. I'll most likely reup my NJPW world subscription finally once the WWE is done. Theyve done alot of rebranding over the years, it'll be fun getting back into NOAH after all these years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 NOAH news Spoiler Mutoh said if Go is NOAH then Mutoh is Pro-Wrestling, Mutoh is Reiwa-style grandeur. On Monday NOAH will hold post Budokan conference with Keiji Mutoh, Kaito Kiyomiya, Kenoh etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
