Hansen vs Kobashi in 2015! Kind of!

AJPW New Year Wars 2015 - Tag 2 - 03.01.2015

Naoya Nomura, Yohei Nakajima & Yuma Aoyagi vs. Masanobu Fuchi, Ultimo Dragon & Yoshinobu Kanemaru

Classic rookie stuff, nothing special.
**

Atsushi Aoki vs. Soma Takao

Aoki work over the back of Takao, I'm not a fan of these two (especially Aoki) but this was a good little match, simple and short.
***

GAORA TV Title Match
KENSO (c) vs. Ryuji Hijikata

Not interesting at all, probably should have skipped this one.
**

Akebono, Shigehiro Irie & Shuji Ishikawa vs. Jun Akiyama, SUSHI & Takao Omori

I really enjoyed this. Irie, Ishikawa and Akiyama in the same match... of course I liked it! Akebono was good too.
***1/4

Evolution (Hikaru Sato & Suwama) vs. Shingo Takagi & Zeus

Meh, this should have been better, nobody looked particularly good.
**1/2

All Asia Tag Team Title Match
Xceed (Kento Miyahara & Kotaro Suzuki) (c) vs. Mitsuya Nagai & Takeshi Minamino

At times Dark Kingdom fuckerys felt like AAA rudos stuff. Even if he's not great at showing emotions I loved angry Miyahara here. Sure, it was not perfect but I enjoy this a lot.
***1/2

Triple Crown Title Match
Joe Doering (c) vs. Go Shiozaki

THAT WAS GREAT! Big man crossbody, a bunch of clubbing blow, CHOPS, LARIATS, insane finishing run, suspense, a public who cares, great selling by Joe, Joe in general was really good here, all of that while staying a David vs Goliath match,... WATCH IT! MOTYC!
****1/4

Solid start of the year for AJPW, you absolutely should watch the Main Event, the semi main you could hate it or love it, depending on your taste but watch that Joe vs Go!
