[2018-06-10-NOAH] Go Shiozaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima vs Naomichi Marufuji & Takeshi Sugiura

[nivvad]

A generational war has begun right in front of Misawa. I find it kind of funny that they're sticking Go with the younger guys even though he is only a class below Marufuji and Sugiura, but he's gotta fit in somewhere I suppose. Anyways, this was a kick ass tribute match in honor of Misawa, so of course these 4 men who have been fighting together and against each other in the post-four pillars generation would clash one more time for old times sake. Everyone was on their A game here, and I especially liked the Marufuji and Nakajima interactions, who suspiciously haven't had a singles match in a long time. Surprisingly enough, it was Go who pinned the champ, Sugiura, which puts him into title contention some time down the line. Afterwards, Masato Tanaka came back to NOAH to fight with the older guard while Kenoh also appears to draw the battle lines, ****1/2.
