Knight hit a diving clothesline and a leaping splash for a nearfall. Knight fired back with his stellar dropkick, and they were both down at 5:30.

Taguchi escaped and again applied an anklelock! Douki hit a Gory Bomb, then a Dragon Suplex with a bridge for the pin. Douki again went to the Douki Chokey Taguchi got close to the ropes, but Douki rolled back to the center of the ring. In the ring, Taguchi hit a springboard buttbump, and he went to an anklelock, but Douki quickly reached the ropes at 4:00.ĭouki applied the Douki Chokey modified Triangle Choke Kelly noted that Lio Rush has already lost to the move. Kelly agreed with me, saying it looked like action from Arena Mexico. Quick lucha-style reversals to open and Taguchi hit a dropkick. Douki (6) defeated Ryusuke Taguchi (0) in an A Block match at 7:44. I will again predict that Taguchi scores a big upset this week by resorting to his “butt stuff” and juvenile trickery.

From there, we have a “final four” this year. So, each wrestler will have nine matches within their block. The crowd is maybe 800.īoSJ is a 20-man tournament, with 10 wrestlers in each Block in a round-robin tournament, spread out over 12 shows in an 18-day span. Kevin Kelly provided solo commentary as the show began, and he talked about how “we are in the closing stretch.” This venue is a small room with a really high ceiling it might be the smallest room I’ve seen NJPW use, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is considered a sellout.
