Ribadisco il mio pronostico per Shinya Makabe.

[Geno]

Io punto su Kojima

[Hellcome.]

Pareri su New Beginning e l'Anniversary?

Il primo, tra l'altro l'unico dei due che ho visto, a mio avviso è stato solido da far paura.
Peccato sia stato solo uno step di non troppa importanza, se non magari per la situazione realativa a Okada.

[casper-21]

Su New Beginning:

Vista la prima metà.
Ma tutte le scenette col commentatore non sono ancora finite? Il siparietto a WK pensavo avesse messo fine al tutto, invece continuano, e ormai sono andati oltre al limite di sopportazione.
Due incontri per cinture junior abbastanza inutili, almeno avessero turnato Taguchi avrebbe avuto più senso.
Che cazzo è quella maschera che han messo a Deavy Boy Smith jr? Però questo Tenkoji vs KES direi che è stato il migliore della serie.
Finale tra l'inutile e Sakuraba osceno. Speriamo che la sfida tra Goto e Shibata porti a qualcosa di interessante almeno. Però Katsuyori mi fomenta molto meno che ai vecchi tempi.

Finito.
Tutto sommato show buono, anche se continuano a pesare alcuni elementi soliti, tipo il totale disinteresse creatosi attorno ai due match titolati juniors, che fa sì che non possano lasciare nessun segno.
Il main event è sicuramente di alto livello. Anche se, pure qua, la sensazione è che siamo ben lontani dalle migliori prestazioni del Tana' come campione; ma non credo sia neppure da imputare agli atleti, è che semplicemente ormai conosciamo il canovaccio a memoria, e anche se siamo davanti all'elite assoluta, anche l'elite assoluta se ripetuta all'infinito inizia a sembrare meno clamorosa. Il segnale che è ora di cambiare mi sembra palese, bisogna vedere se loro sono ancora convinti che il giochino gli continua a funzionare di più così.

Show d'anniversario discreto, sia dal lato qualitativo che come impostazione, portando avanti anche storylines in corso, in particolare nell'elimination tra i Chaos e la Suzuki Army e tra Shinya e Yujiro.
Strano il ref bump nel match per il titolo intercontinentale, con tanto di cambio arbitro e arrivo di Red Shoes Unno; strano dicevo perchè mi sarei aspettato una vittoria più limpida per Shinsuke.
Ho molto apprezzato l'opener, anche se ad un certo punto con quattro rookies/sophomores tutti in mutande nere uguali non ci capivo + un cazzo su chi era chi.

[Geno]

Io spero che Watanabe e Takahashi vengano lanciato

Hiromu soprattutto spacca e neanche poco!

[Hellcome.]

Ma un Nakamura vincente della Cup ( se partecipa ) proprio non lo vedete come possibile?
Fermo restando che anche io credo vinca Makabe.

Ho postato il video coi partecipanti

Io invece mi gioco Kojima perchè non va per il titolo da un bel pò

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. New Japan Cup – Round 1: Tomohiro Ishii beat Satoshi Kojima (13:37) with a brainbuster.
2. New Japan Cup – Round 1: Hirooki Goto beat Tama Tonga (9:37) with the Shouten Kai.
3. New Japan Cup – Round 1: Toru Yano beat Manabu Nakanishi (6:18) by pinfall.
4. New Japan Cup – Round 1: Karl Anderson beat Hiroyoshi Tenzan (8:42) with the Gun Stun.
5. Special 6 Man Tag Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi, KUSHIDA & Alex Shelley beat Captain New Japan, Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi (12:09) when Tanahashi used the High Fly Flow on Captain.
6. New Japan Cup – Round 1: Yujiro Takahashi beat Togi Makabe (10:45) with a Bukko Nuki German suplex hold.
7. New Japan Cup – Round 1: Minoru Suzuki beat Yuji Nagata (10:24) with a Gotch-style piledriver.
8. New Japan Cup – Round 1: Kazuchika Okada beat Lance Archer (10:14) with the Red Ink.
9. New Japan Cup – Round 1: Davey Boy Smith Jr. beat Shinsuke Nakamura (13:06) by pinfall.

* Upsets galore on day one of the 2013 New Japan Cup mean that the second round will be missing several of the company’s biggest names. Davey Boy Smith Jr. got some revenge for his tag partner Lance Archer’s recent IWGP Intercontinental Title match loss to Shinsuke Nakamura by pulling off a huge win in the main event. This could also lead to Smith challenging for Shinsuke’s title in the near future.

* Kazuchika Okada is looking at add the New Japan Cup to the IWGP Heavyweight Title and G1 Climax that he has won since his return just over a year ago. Okada defeated Archer in another CHAOS vs. Suzuki Gun match with his new finisher, the Red Ink, which he claims he has abandoned the Rainmaker for.

* The eternal rivalry between Yuji Nagata vs. Minoru Suzuki continued two months after Nagata pinned the Suzuki Gun leader at the Tokyo Dome. As has been the case throughout their rivalry they continued to trade wins today as Suzuki pinned Nagata following a Gotch-style piledriver to advance.

* Yujiro Takahashi avenged his loss to Togi Makabe from “THE NEW BEGINNING” in February by beating him today as their grudge continues. A very big win for Yujiro who has taken big steps in recent months and gave Tanahashi a tough fight in his first ever IWGP Heavyweight Title shot back in November.

* Last year’s NJC semi finalist and last year’s G1 Climax runner-up Karl Anderson advanced by beating Tenzan while one day after winning the GHC Tag Team Title with Iizuka, Yano pinned Nakanishi to ensure qualification. Hirooki Goto, looking for his 4th NJC tournament win in 5 years, defeated Tama Tonga to the surprise of no one. But the opening match saw the biggest shock of them all as perennial midcarder Tomohiro Ishii stunned Korakuen Hall by beating Satoshi Kojima with a brainbuster! Deemed not high profile enough for the G1, Ishii has been a regular entrant in the NJC but the only time in five previous attempts he won his round one match was in 2009 when he beat Wataru Inoue by countout during their feud that year.

-

A rematch of the 2012 G1 Climax final is the pick of the bunch in round two next Sunday as Anderson and Okada lock horns again. CHAOS vs. Suzuki Gun continues in two of the four matches with Yano vs. Suzuki and Yujiro vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr., while you would expect Goto to defeat Ishii but after Ishii’s win today you can’t be too sure…

1. Jushin Thunder Liger & Tiger Mask beat Captain New Japan & BUSHI (8:22) when Tiger used a crucifix hold on BUSHI.
2. Togi Makabe, Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima beat Takashi Iizuka, YOSHI-HASHI & Gedo (11:58) when Kojima used a lariat on Gedo.
3. Shinsuke Nakamura & Jado beat Lance Archer & TAKA Michinoku Kaientai Dojo (9:34) when Nakamura used the Boma Ye on TAKA.
4. New Japan Cup – Round 2: Davey Boy Smith Jr. beat Yujiro Takahashi (11:43) with a jumping powerbomb.
5. New Japan Cup – Round 2: Hirooki Goto beat Tomohiro Ishii (18:46) with the Shouten Kai.
6. Kazushi Sakuraba & Katsuyori Shibata beat Yuji Nagata & Manabu Nakanishi (11:13) when Sakuraba used a triangle choke hold on Nakanishi.
7. Hiroshi Tanahashi, KUSHIDA & Alex Shelley beat Tama Tonga, Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi (12:18) when Tanahashi used the High Fly Flow on Tonga.
8. New Japan Cup – Round 2: Toru Yano beat Minoru Suzuki (10:14) with the Akakiri.
9. New Japan Cup – Round 2: Kazuchika Okada beat Karl Anderson (15:27) with the Rainmaker.

* Kazuchika Okada won the 2012 G1 Climax final rematch today against Karl Anderson to move one step closer of completing a hat-trick of IWGP Heavyweight Title, G1 Climax, and New Japan Cup since his return to Japan 14 1/2 months ago. The Rainmaker sunk the Machine Gun before a sold out crowd of 5,500 to set up a semi final against CHAOS comrade Toru Yano who pulled off a big win over Minoru Suzuki to continue a great month for him that also saw him pin Takashi Sugiura to win the GHC Tag Team Title for he and Iizuka.

* Hirooki Goto has a big chance of making it 4 New Japan Cup tournament wins in 5 years after beating Tomohiro Ishii in a close match. Ishii had beaten Kojima in round one, which itself was a major overachievement, and he came close to doing it again today but Goto had just too much and dropped him with the Shouten Kai. Goto will meet Davey Boy Smith Jr., who defeated Nakamura in round one and added another CHAOS scalp to his collection today with a win over Yujiro.

* Laughter7 met tough opposition in their latest return to New Japan, facing former IWGP Tag Team Champions and third generation veterans Yuji Nagata & Manabu Nakanishi. This wasn’t as overwhelming a win as some of their tag matches have been but they were victorious when Sakuraba choked out Nakanishi with a triangle choke. Saku and Nagata slapped hands out of respect after the match with a future rematch suggested.
