Naomichi Marufuji & Takeshi Morishima & Takashi Suguira vs. Kenta Kobashi & Tamon Honda & Shuhei Taniguchi 34:52. If there's one wrestler in Japan who commands the respect and EFFORT of all the fellow wrestlers, it's Kobashi. The man has endured everything, hell he's practically come back from the dead. If anyone has the right to be a zombie wrestler, it's him, but he's returned with one thing intact, his work ethic. And it's that undying thirst to have great matches that makes it impossible for anyone to justify dogging it when Kobashi is out there busting it. Kobashi set the tone right away, laying into Sugiura, and the effort never wavered despite the considerable length of the match. NOAH has to give Kobashi a partner who can at least bump to allow the opposition to run an offense and chew up some time though. Kobashi never wants to stay on the apron, especially if he has stiff like Honda & Taniguchi behind him. And since no one cares about these guys, the match was entirely about Kobashi. Even when Honda & Taniguchi were in, the opposition was staring Kobashi down, having words with him. Marufuji did the KENTA ignore your actual opponent to charge the corner and give the guy you are interested in a cheap shot, and Morishima took time out to maul Kobashi on the outside. Not surprisingly, the match was best when it was Kobashi vs. Sugiura, as these two brutes just ripped into each other, leaving their chests a glowing red. Sugiura was really in his comfort zone in these exchanges, but some of the stuff against Honda was pretty bad, especially Honda countering Sugiura's charge with the worlds lamest "spear", or rather ducking down and letting Sugi run into his shoulder. The match was mostly chops, of course, but Marufuji did an interesting powerbomb off the top to set up his pole shift finisher. What was different is he stopped Taniguchi from doing a flying move, so Taniguchi had his back to the crowd and Marufuji jumped backwards off the middle rope. Kobashi wasn't awesome and has even chopped a lot better in the past, but everyone was thrilled to see him, to work with him, to have him back. What Kobashi has that the others don't is passion and desire, and these are things that always translate. Someone who knows nothing about wrestling probably can't even come up with a rudimentary explanation of why something is good or bad, but they can always sense when someone really cares. ***1/2

Kenta Kobashi & KENTA & Tamon Honda vs. Yoshihiro Takayama & Takuma Sano & Atsushi Aoki 29:36. Another quality Kobashi chopfest, though not as good as the 2/23/08 main event. The good news is Kobashi had a partner in KENTA who could pick up the slack. The bad news is instead of 3 high quality opponents there were none. I have to say that Takayama was as good as he ever gets here though, he was somehow even seeming kind of mobile and flexible, and the dynamic of Kobashi & KENTA gunning for him rather than everyone gunning for Kobashi made for a more balanced match. They did a nice job of utilizing Takayama for brief segments, which kept the heat and anticipation on these pairings, both of which were good. When Kobashi finally was able to keep Takayama in long enough to soften him up with chops, he tagged KENTA right away to give the little guy a chance, but KENTA was mainly manhandled by Takayama today. All this was good stuff, the problem is the only other good pairing was KENTA vs. Aoki. Aoki ran around a lot, usually to no avail as he had to do all the selling for his side. Honda was pretty useless, and Sano tried but was too erratic. Kobashi & Takayama went at it on the ramp well after Aoki went to sleep, finally being restrained by seemingly the rest of the NOAH roster. ***

Special Singles Match: Kensuke Sasaki vs. KENTA 22:23. KENTA took a heavyweight beating in this ultra stiff match against the many time champion. Sasaki totally dominated early, press slamming KENTA to the floor and repeatedly smashing him into the guard rail. Kensuke was really tossing KENTA around, and seemed determined to make short work of him. KENTA will never back down from anyone, and made a big push with his wicked kicks to get his teeth into the match. This early portion was tremendous, but the match flagged as they weren't able to maintain the intensity once they deviated from the obvious pattern of just blasting away at each other without holding anything back. It picked up late when they returned to sheer brutality with a series of wicked lariats from KENTA until he finally knocked Kensuke off his feet. Although the fans were into the match throughout, they never really bought that KENTA had a chance to win, so his go 2 sleep and even using Sasaki's own Northern Lights bomb on him didn't get awesome reactions. All in all, the match was competitive enough though, and another successful attempt from KENTA at mixing it up with the big boys. ***3/4

GHC Heavyweight Title Match: Takeshi Morishima vs. Kensuke Sasaki 22:02. They did Morishima's all action sprint, which was much better for Morishima than Sasaki. Morishima did all his junior style moves - suicida, handspring body attack, missile kick, moonsault, etc. - and generally looked quite impressive. Sasaki also gave a big effort, but with striking stripped from the match to keep the pace up, he was out of his element. Sasaki has improved his arsenal of moves quite a bit from what he did when he was dominating NJPW in the late '90's, but they are best used in moderation as he's relying way more on effort than coordination. He couldn't do that here because he was left with nothing else but an endless stream of lariats. The match had no real direction or build, it was pretty much just two big men wrestling like little men, exchanging holds as they sprinted from start to finish. It started really well with both coming at each other fast and hard until simultaneous lariats resulted in a double knockdown. Apart from that double sell spot, they rarely slowed down. Morishima got his Hashimoto bloody nose, I think from the way Sasaki held and released his face doing a reverse neckbreaker on the outside. They teased Sasaki powerbombing Morishima off the apron, but Morishima sat on his chest instead and hit a DDT on the outside. The fans were really into it, and you wanted to see Morishima win because he was pretty clearly outwrestling Sasaki, and logically Sasaki has no business beating him at his own game. But, of course, it's NOAH so Kensuke finally got the title run he should have had around 3 years earlier. ***1/2

GHC Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. Bryan Danielson 4:01 of 20:40. Danielson is exactly the sort of wrestle you can't boil down to the highspots. Considering they obviously worked really well together and it was spectacular with Kanemaru breaking out most of his best offense, I'd guess it was an excellent match that was one of Kanemaru's best, but the editing also didn't give any indication of there being the type of quality Danielson delivers beyond the spots, so who knows?

Dream Tag Match: Kota Ibushi & KENTA vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima & Naomichi Marufuji 30:00 + 5:00. I had really high hopes for this one, and it didn't come close to meeting them. It was so obvious they were going long because they simply weren't that into the first 20 minutes, not trying much or showing a lot of intensity beyond the striking exchanges. Due to this, the crowd never got that into it. The match sort of took off after 20, but even then it was kind of reserved and tame, lacking explosion and inspiration. They did parity early with Marufuji & Ibushi making each other miss, but it was a bit slow and the timing wasn't quite there. KENTA & Nakajima were blasting away with kicks, and later Ibushi showed he could kick with Nakajima, but there should also have been a lot of quality in the first 20 minutes beyond the striking. Nakajima is very consistent. KENTA gave a good but by no means outstanding performance. Ibushi is easily the most spectacular wrestler in the match, but most of his stuff seemed choreographed rather than spontaneous. Marufuji dramatically underachieved. He wasn't really off, but his heart didn't seem into it and he really wasn't adding anything to the match. ***1/4

Kensuke Sasaki vs. Roderick Strong 12:20. Strong never presented any threat to Kensuke. Sasaki just mauled him, and although Strong obviously couldn't strike with him, he didn't change it up or offer any real alternative. Thus, Strong spent most of the match flailing his arms everytime Sasaki chopped him, and making other such corny overdone reactions. Sasaki tried, but it was just an enhancement match. *3/4

ROH World Title Match: Nigel McGuinness vs. Jimmy Jacobs 21:02. Jacobs showed he could hang with McGuinness technically then chose to heel it up. He refused to follow McGuinness into the corner for his headstand, and wound up landing a low blow at the end of that sequence that led to him controlling the majority of the match. Jacobs showed some nice diverse offense, and seemed too good to be resorting to pulling a chain out of his tights. McGuinness sold well, but ultimately didn't do much before scoring a rather unconvincing victory. **1/2

10/13/08 Hiroshima Green Arena, GHC Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Brian Danielson vs. KENTA 23:48 of 33:21. Dramatic, well structured title match with KENTA dominating forever, just blasting Danielson with his kicks and stomping a mudhole in him until Danielson's ribs were injured and he was busted open hardway. They mostly did KENTA's match, especially in the first half, with Danielson instilling some story points and placing more emphasis on focused attacks and selling. Danielson finally hit a swandive plancha, but it hurt his bad ribs too much, and KENTA quickly regained the offensive dropping him on the guard rail and following with a diving footstomp to the floor. For the longest time, it appeared Danielson was going to get punted back to America empty handed. Finally, he stopped an avalanche style brainbuster and pushed KENTA, causing him to slip off and injure his knee getting it tied up in the ropes. When KENTA's injury proved the equalizer, allowing Danielson to finally sustain an offensive, you thought it was going to be the traditional, champ gets the worst of it but winds up escaping with the belt. KENTA weathered the knee moves though, and scooped Danielson up after for the go 2 sleep after countering the cattle mutilation, leading to a big double sell spot. From here, it was anyone's match, and they did a good job of keeping the pace under control to show both were physically ready to lose, but simply not willing to quit. Their 12/2/06 match was a little better, a far more thoughtful match, and one that was out of the ordinary, but this was also very strong match with both men near the top of their game. ****

Kensuke Sasaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima & Kota Ibushi vs. Mitsuharu Misawa & Taiji Ishimori & Ricky Marvin 16:13. A really nice showcase for the outsiders NOAH doesn't use as well as they could with Nakajima totally stealing the show and Ibushi having his moments. They pretty much stuck to three pairings. Sasaki vs. Misawa didn't happen much and didn't look good when it did since Misawa seemed to only be able to throw elbows and couldn't really bend at the waste. Nakajima vs. Marvin was the best pairing as they really developed the counters in all aspects, standing, running, striking, etc. Their sequences were by far the most difficult, so I could live with two uncharacteristic mistimings. Ibushi vs. Ishimori was the spectacular pairing, though that mostly came from Kota, including missing a moonsault but following with a standing shooting star press then a moonsault off the 2nd. My favorite spot was Nakajima turning the superstar elbow into a German suplex. I also liked the spot where Ishimori held Ibushi as if he were going to do apply a camel clutch and Marvin windsprinted the ramp and dropkicked him through the ropes. The match wasn't long or developed enough to be the standout it might have been, but it was generally good fun. ***1/4

GHC Tag Title Match: Akitoshi Saito & Bison Smith vs. Jun Akiyama & Takeshi Rikio 13:39

GHC & PWF Junior Heavyweight Double Title Match: KENTA vs. Naomichi Marufuji 60:00. The ultimate heavyweight & junior heavyweight title match mixing heavyweight impact with junior speed & explosiveness. It's more a heavyweight match in terms of pacing, but the quick twitch muscles are on display when they need to be to avoid or counter something major. Marufuji has such great sense of ring positioning, which allows him to be so opportunistic inserting so many spectacular moves out of the matches striking base. He was even more the maestro here than in their other matches because the longer the match goes, the more KENTA's lack of dimension should show up. Still, the storytelling was far from the best you'll see in an AJ/NOAH Budokan main, but the chemistry these two have is off the charts, and they find so many great ways to make great things happen. For me, the craziest spot is Marufuji body slamming KENTA off the top to the floor. ****1/2

Mitsuharu Misawa vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima 9:15. Misawa wasn't very generous to juniors in his prime despite arguably being as successful a conversion as there ever was, so one would expect lazy fat old Misawa to do a boring little squash, but it must have been Christmas for Nakajima. For a 9 minute match, this was about as giving as Misawa could possibly be. Sure, it's likely that it was simply a whole lot easier for Misawa to stand there and take Nakajima's powerful strikes than to be bothered charging at him with a running elbow, but this was a hell of a lot more competitive and motivated than Misawa's abortion of a title defense against Marufuji on 9/29/07, even if it was only 1/3 of the length, and was actually successful at elevating Nakajima. Nakajima took full control early when he stopped Misawa's rolling senton off the apron with a stiff kick to the throat, and proceeded to blast away for the majority of the match, throwing in some suplexes. Nakajima's offense was sharp as ever, and Misawa certainly had the bulk to withstand the big blows. There wasn't much of a transition to the finish, as Misawa pretty much just went right to the big emerald flowsion to get it over with, but you can't have everything. Obviously it wasn't the match they could have done if Misawa was a few years younger and they wanted to go all out like Sasaki vs. KENTA 7/18/08, but this was one of Misawa's last really positive singles performances. **3/4
