NOAH, 5/24/07
Aomori Industrial Hall
1,200 fans - Super No Vacancy
1. Tsutomu Hirayanagi beat Akihiko Ito (8:44) with a Dropkick. Nothing special here. Rating: C-.
2. Eddie Edwards, Ricky Marvin & Taiji Ishimori beat Kishin Kawabata, Kentaro Shiga & Atsushi Aoki (8:49) when Marvin used the Santa Maria on Aoki. Average Jr. 6-Man, Marvin and Aoki had some nice exchanges. Rating: C+.
3. D'Lo Brown & Buchanan beat Akira Taue & Shuhei Taniguchi (12:37) when Buchanan used the Axe Kick on Taniguchi. Pretty much the same level as the last match. Taue and Taniguchi make a good old and young team...but RO&D are looking like contenders more and more each match. Rating: C+.
4. Akitoshi Saito & KENTA beat Samoa Joe & Davey Richards (13:09) when KENTA used the Go 2 Sleep on Richards. Amazing match here...one of the best all tour. KENTA looked awesome, and the gaijin duo totally showed that they can hang with the best NOAH has to offer. Joe looked like a monster, and Davey Richards once again makes a big time impression on the NOAH fans. Rating: B+ (Match of the Night).
5. Takashi Sugiura, Takuma Sano & Naomichi Marufuji beat Tamon Honda, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Go Shiosaki (18:47) when Sugiura used the Olympic Slam on Kikuchi. Odd match. Honda seemed off his game, and Sano was tiring near the end. Not horrible, as a match with these men can never be considered "bad". Could have been better. Rating: B-.
6. Takeshi Morishima & Mohammed Yone beat Bison Smith & Ted Dibiase Jr. (18:39) when Morishima used the High Angle Back Drop on Dibiase. Not too bad, but nothing that hasn't been seen before. Morishima is looking better and better each match, and Yone may be on the verge of main eventer before we know it. Once again, Bison isn't the man at fault for the loss. He hasn't been pinned all tour. Rating: B-.
7. Mitsuharu Misawa, Yoshinari Ogawa & Kotaro Suzuki beat Jun Akiyama, Takeshi Rikio & Yoshinobu Kanemaru (23:31) when Misawa used the Emerald Fusion on Kanemaru. One of the best matches of the night...not on the level of the Team KICK/Joe & Richards tag, but not too many matches on this tour have. Misawa is beating everyone that is thrown at him, but this match was a little off. Ogawa was gassed by the end, and Kanemaru seemed a bit shaky tonight. Not bad considering those circumstances. Rating: B.
Final Rating: B-.
