[2000-03-02-BJW] Mens Teoh vs Masayoshi Motegi

[soup23]

BJW has a N W O knockoff group too? This was a sad crowd for them as I don’t think there was more than hundred people here. This was sort of a weird match overall for me. It was good to see Teioh and he looked well enough. Motegi was a step below but not awful. The match overall though was just a 8 minute undercard affair that will be impossible to remember in a project of this scope. **1/4

[Loss]

Terry Boy is a little older and a little more jaded. I'm not much on a match where they treat exploders like chops or strikes. The match has some good stuff after that, but that just killed it for me. Sorry.

I didn't figure out what the round object was that Motegi brought into the ring. This match ran out of steam after the first minute or so. The rolling around slapping and the dueling exploders came across as corny. Below average.

Basic match done in slow motion. The crowd does not help. Teoh brought nothing which was disappointing.

Since I'm a Motegi fan now, I gotta watch this. Motegi may be far from a great worker, but he always works hard. I liked the opening with the stiff shots and I didn't hate the exploder/uranage trading as it didn't come across as no-selling to me. Teioh has some fun ways to work over a leg and I really liked his spinning elbow combination and Motegi's stiff shotais.

I dug Motegi's grounded elbows, but aside from that they never did anything to keep my captivated or interested.

Pretty boring match.
