Superstar Sleeze Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Koji Kanemoto vs Fujita Jr Hayato - NJPW 5/26/11 While this pales in comparison to their 2009 match, this is still a great, hard-hitting match. It definitely feels a junior NOAH match with all the fighting spirit and defiance. I liked the shoving before the bell and the fighting before Kanemoto takes off the robe. Kanemoto wrestled like a great veteran early taking advantage of mistakes. He ended up getting a gnarly ankle submission out of an abdominal stretch. Then he made the mistake of going high risk and Hayato kicked him in the head. Hayato channeled his inner Shibata with a ton of stiff kicks. Then they kinda lost me with all the fighting spirit, strike exchange. Those punches at the end were ferocious. Hayato is such a great verbal seller. Then it became a big rush of Hayato's Guillotine Choke vs Kanemoto's Heel Hook. Again Hayato's verbal selling made this. There was one great counter into the heel hook from the choke, but ultimately the choke did Kanemoto in. Action-packed, lots of hard hitting and a good submission vs submission story, wished the transitions could have been tighter and the fighting spirit was dropped. **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
