ShittyLittleBoots Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 This is such an amazing match. Tenryu gives a hellacious beating to KENTA - who sells it fantastically. Tenryu was just so good in this delivering that asskicking & being the grumpy vet. KENTA was tremendous as the underdog selling his ass off while getting some brief comebacks in - only for Tenryu to cut them all off. Tenryu beating up anyone is a winning formula & then you get KENTA as the underdog which is another winning formula - you combine those 2 and you get fantastic pro wrestling match. ****3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartMark15 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Loved this. Tenryu just don't give a fuck. KENTA puts in a boss-level selling performance here. KENTA bumps like nuts and his comebacks are engaging. But Tenryu DON'T GIVE A FUCK. Great stuff. ****1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microstatistics Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Typically awesome and violent Tenryu beatdown which KENTA sells pretty well, though I thought his comeback was a bit sudden. Loved the post match water bottle toss. ***3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Sleeze Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 This was not part of Ditch's project glad people brought this to my attention. This is badass. Genichiro Tenryu vs KENTA - NOAH 10/8/05 This is legalized murder. KENTA bumrushes at the outset of the match and just runs into a closed fist. Tenryu lays one of the most hellacious beatings you will ever seen. Fists, chops, lariats, punts to the head, chairs and even casually dropping the timekeeper table on KENTA. Ever the gentleman, he returns the table to the timekeeper only to take his hammer and hit KENTA with that. Those chops were insane. He was hitting through KENTA. KENTA gives a great "selling" performance, but I dont know how much he is selling or is just plain shoot hurt. Loved Tenryu's cutoff. That one flurry stopped by a well-placed right was great. There could have been a better transition to KENTA's big offensive comeback. His offense looked great I loved him relying on springboard dropkicks. Great kicks and hits his big Exploding knee, but when Tenryu kicks out you know it is just a matter of time. Big right jabs and then Tenryu just trucks him with a left lariat. Great veteran heavyweight vs young junior heavyweight match that was stiff and just an asskicker. **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richeyedwards Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 This was a snuff movie and it was amazing. The best KENTA have always been his matches when he is a jr and against much bigger and more established heavyweights. Here he is against Tenryu a guy who’s grumpy old man phase (my favourite character in wrestling) went on for over 20years. Tenryu destroys KENTA and it is a joy to watch every strike thrown is brutal looking and sounding. Every move looks really reckless and dangerous. KENTA looks like his teeth are knocked around in his mouth and he is bleeding from there. This is amazing professional wrestling between KENTA at his peak and Tenryu at the end of his. ****1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenese Sarwieh Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 A glorious affair of KENTA fighting undernearth the onslaught of grumpy Tenryu's no fucks to give straight in your face style put in front of him. KENTA tried to gain momentum with kicks and forearm strikes but Tenryu wasn't having any bit of it and cut him off with beautiful looking jabs and lariats. Good comeback but again Tenryu cut that off with the quickness and picked up the win. Props to KENTA for being so giving and offering his body for abuse and add this great match in the cap for one of the best if not the best wrestlers in the 00s in Tenryu.

ohtani's jacket Posted October 7, 2024 Report Share Posted October 7, 2024 Fun match but nothing essential. I feel like I've seen better Tenryu matches of this ilk, and to be honest given the year KENTA has had there wasn't much to gain from being a Tenryu punching bag.

squidlad Posted October 11, 2024 Report Share Posted October 11, 2024 Tenryu at the age of 55 puts on one last classic. The match is just under twelve minutes long but they execute everything with brutal precision. Going by the reviews I assumed this match was going to be a case of the 'young punk getting nerfed'. Not at all. Kenta beats the shit out of Tenryu during the last few minutes and Tenryu does a great job getting whipped and selling the difficulty in getting Kenta to stay down. It's the usual pro's pro job from the old man and I shouldn't have expected less. ****1/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
