[2000-10-15-BJW] Tomoaki Honma & Ryuji Yamakawa vs Zandig & Jun Kasai (Barbed Wire Boards Death)

[soup23]

Good house show death match. I don’t know why Zandig is easier to digest in Japan than in CZW but with the ego not being stroked, he is a lot more enjoyable. Honma continues to stake a claim as one of the better workers of the year including a neat spot where he was in a superplex position and knocked lose some light tubes from the ceiling to use later. Overall, pretty smart work and some decent weapon usage made this and enjoyable watch. ***1/4 (6.3)

This wasn't bad... I was expecting to dislike this, but it was way better than I thought. I'm not too fond of these CZW guys, but the BJW crew have really made them shine with their crazy bumping and selling -- namely the BJ Jacks. The light tube spot on the superplex was neat, although that may not have been planed. Despite being a smaller show match, it was well worked and the crowd was kept engaged namely near the end.

 

Decent stuff.

I liked this a good bit.  Jun Kasai would have been an awesome third Nasty Boy.  His demeanor here is great and he pairs well with Zandig.  Honma helps keep this one together and takes a specifically painful looking powerbomb in the post match.

For a Zandig match, this was pretty tame. Kasai as a heel is interesting and he takes a beating along with homna. That powerbomb towards the end of the match was brutal. Zandig was passible here and even sold a little.
