TJP vs Tiger Mask IV, NJ 5/26

OK match. The matwork was solid but unspectacular, but Perkin’s 450 was pretty cool (didn’t know he could do that) and the finishing submission was pretty sick.

The Great Sasuke vs Taka Michinoku, NJ 5/26

Dissapointing match. TAKA looked off, a couple awkward moments and botches. Sasuke was pretty solid and hit some smooth highspots like his dropkick dive and a senton off the apron. Weird to see Sasuke being the crisper of the two.

Koji Kanemoto vs Fujita Hayato, NJ 5/26

These two just work so well together. They do a really job of getting across the vet vs young lion story and always super heated. Those kicks were insanely stiff, and I like how Hayato sold his leg like he was hurting himself just from kicking Kanemoto so damn hard. The striking exchanges were really great thanks to the selling as much as the stiffness and the dragon screw counter and ankle lock into choke were both highlights of an awesome finishing run. Damn good match.

Prince Devitt vs TJP, NJ 5/28

Totally forgettable and dull match. The only thing that really stuck out to me was how akward some of Devitt's kicks looked, especially in comparison to Perkins.

Jushin Liger vs The Great Sasuke, NJ 5/28

This was solid and perfectly acceptabl wrestling. There was some solid matwork at the start, before a bunch of legwork filler then the end run. The Koppo kick off apron was cool, as was the struggle on the apron. Both guys hit big dives and they did a fine job setting up the finish.

Fujita Hayato vs TJP, NJ 6/7

Dissapointing match. There was the stiffness you would expect from Hayato, but that was pretty much it. This was a small show, and this was a small show effort.
