[2017-02-27-NJPW/ROH-Honor Rising: Night Two] War Machine vs Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa)

[bradhindsight]

Total hoss tag team battle here. Great strikes and both teams were fantastic. War Machine handling the G.O.D. just as they did the Bucks - impressive strength. Pop-up powerslam was beautiful. There's a part mid-match where Rowe just casually passes Tama Tonga to Hansen like he's a medicine ball. Rowe powers out of the stun gun and dead lifts Tama into position for Fallout to get the win. Crowd chants for War Machine and afterwards on the mic they proclaim they're after the IWGP World Tag Team titles. Crowd pops for this. Huge two nights for these guys. I really dug this. ***3/4

This was solid. Everything that I liked about this came from War Machine though - they looked VERY impressive, but G.O.D. weren't interesting, and that's a shame because I thought that they had strong performances at WK & KOPW. **

New generic overdubbed music for War Machine. Good, beefy tag here. I have thought the narrative that GoD is "good" has been overblown to a degree but they were competent here. War Machine looks poised to be a great gaijin team within the NJ ranks and easily fill the void left by KES with Lance Archer's injury. ***1/4
