Y'know, it's a really funny thing to go from watching & writing about a match like Lee Moriarty vs. Daniel Makabe, something that initially started off slow and old school but built up gradually and had a lot of interesting submission moves.... to a super explosive match that goes like 2-3 minutes from 2009. Now, I should emphasize the fact that in no way am I at ALL complaining about this, I just think that the tonal shift is funny enough to point out.
Anyways, i'm not really sure of the background for this match, especially because i'm not too familiar of the lore for NOAH around this point in time. I know that it WAS a part of NOAH's 2009 Junior Heavyweight League, a tournament won by based god Yoshinobu Kanemaru and also for some reason had fucking Delirious in it. Literally huh. I also know that they had a longer match I THINK on one of the previous tours, but that's about all I really know. So anyways, how was the match?
It fucking rocks.
It's very much a no bullshit match. Ricky attacks KENTA before the bell rings, tries throwing whatever he can at KENTA to try and get a win before KENTA absolutely kills him with a GTS and a punt to score himself some points in the tournament. What's more to say? I love how absolutely explosive the match is, i'm not sure of how exactly to describe it but everything just feels.... real as fuck. Another part I love is how the crowd are also super into the match as well, they're reacting big for practically just about everything in this and with honest to god good reason. I wanna also specifically highlight Ricky Marvin's selling of KENTA's GTS because he sells it like death. His facial reaction looks like the man has fucking died and went to heaven and it's awesome. I absolutely recommend this match to anyone who has like 5 minutes to kill because it's a joy. It's easily available too, especially cause y'know... it's on YouTube!
