2017 World's Strongest Tag League Match: Shuji Ishikawa & Suwama [12] vs. Kento Miyahara & Yoshitatsu [10] 25:17. A slow building long match where the Violent Giants just ran over Yoshitatsu in the first half, setting up Miyahara & Yoshitatsu to work their way into being competitive so the match could take off. The early portion is rather dull with little skill on display as Suwama & Ishikawa saved their better stuff & energy for later, the punching bag Yoshitatsu just being a stationary target for the plodding Giants to pummel & barrel over. The first 10 minutes had no intensity & looked like a Saturday morning squash, but things really picked up when Yoshitatsu hit a backcracker & finally made the hot tag. Though Miyahara is energetic & over and gave an impressive performance when he was in, it didn't take long before he was behind the 8 ball as well, and this began to show the real problem with this match in that the whole story was building to Miyahara & Yoshitatsu somehow finally overcoming all this adversity, except that wasn't actually going to happen. Yoshitatsu finally had a run on Suwama, so they started double teaming him, which still didn't get any heat though the fans finally popped big when he avoided their sandwich lariat. Because Miyahara's team was losing the match, they had to tell an alternate story where Miyahara, the two (now three) time Triple Crown champion, wanted Yoshitatsu to rise to his own level & be able to hold up his end, so instead of pressing their advantage he'd leave the ring with Yoshitatsu in a very advantageous position & let Yoshitatsu drop the ball, though usually Ishikawa would come in & double team Yoshitatsu to give him an excuse for surrendering the lead. Normally, the big team in AJ has been gaijins, and though they had some fans, the audience was going to cheer for Kawada, Kobashi, or Misawa over Hansen, Williams, or Vader, whereas here you had a guy in Yoshitatsu that never really impressed anyone except WWE until they actually brought him in & had only showed up in AJ 3 months ago being the lynchpin, & the fans instead cheered for Suwama, their 6 time Triple Crown champion & mainstay top star for the past decade, whenever he was actually down. All that being said, the last 5 minutes were quite good. The best near fall was Yoshitatsu countering Suwama's last ride finisher into a sunset flip because if he was going to win, this was the kind of way he might get it done. Suwama was right back attacking with a lariat, and though Yoshitatsu ducked it, Suwama caught him on the rebound & hit the last ride for the win. I liked Miyahara's work here, but amazingly given the length, he was involved far less than anyone & Suwama probably gave the best performance because he was in charge of making Yoshitatsu look good & putting him over such as it was in a match that was mostly Yoshitatsu getting stomped but showing fighting spirit in refusing to surrender. Despite the sort of wrong finish given the story they were telling, the outcome would have worked way better if the Violent Giants won the league right here, leaving you with the feeling that the ace Miyahara & his overmatched but gutsy partner gave it all they had in an epic final but just lost to the bigger better team, instead of having to come right back and make short work of a lesser team, which seemed to mainly be designed to send the fans home happy because the sort of AJ team beat the BJW team. ***
2017 World's Strongest Tag League Final: Shuji Ishikawa & Suwama vs. Daichi Hashimoto & Hideyoshi Kamitani 11:14. The final was almost a continuation of Ishikawa & Suwama's previous match, not just because it happened a few minutes later, but because Hashimoto & Kamitani came out swinging & Violent Giant worked this as a second finishing sequence tacked onto the epic that put them in the final. Yoshitatsu showed heart, but Okami showed belief, fearlessly taking it to Violent Giant. They did their thing, and while slugging it out with much larger opponents yielded the predictable result, at least they went down on their sword. The BJW team being better rested & much more willing to double team than Miyahara & Yoshitatsu were did help their cause greatly before that, and allowed this to be a competitive sprint where Okami wrestled as though they were capable & deserving of winning. The final didn't have nearly as much story, but the story wasn't really good anyway, so basically you traded 14 minutes of mostly slow & one-sided wrestling for an 11 minute back & forth burst to the league championship. While trading shoulderblocks will never be confused with the epitome of skill & technique, at least this match was urgent, energetic, & intense. The main pairing was Ishikawa & Kamitani, and while Kamitani may never have actually came that close to winning, he really took it to Ishikawa & made him earn it. Violent Giant earned the tag league, but Okami earned respect, so it was a win win. ***
