[New Japan Road] Very creative finish to tag match

13 comments

1. Toru Yano vs. YOSHI-HASHI in a KOPW match where they must duel with the corner pad and Bo-Chan.

2. The finish to this match was a refreshing departure from the norm. A pet peeve of mine has always been when a match, regardless of the promotion, features an ‘Eddie Guerrero spot’ without any repercussions for the “cheating”. Thankfully, the referee in this instance exhibited a zero-tolerance policy for such underhanded tactics. 😂

3. Gedo’s look of pure shock when the ref kicks the pad is absolutely hilarious.

4. Young ref is slowly becoming my favorite ref.

5. I fucking love Yano and it’s funny that even the ref got pissed and kicked the pad.

6. Yuya Sakamoto already showing to be more competent than that horrible bus driver, Marty Asami.

7. Yano Toru is an international treasure who must be protected at all cost.

8. Yano. The guy is gold. I’d kill to see him and Orange Cassidy wrestle. They’re both really good in the ring but combined with their schtick? It’d be a great match.

9. If they don’t have Yano invited to the AEW tournament I will be disappointed…. I’m preparing for the disappointment as we speak, but cmon…

10. Lmfao this made me bust out laughing 🤣

11. Can someone explain why they had to bow to the corner pad?

12. I was giggling for at least 20 minutes after this. Toru is always entertaining, but him and Gedo had me in stiches at their chicanery this match.

13. These road to multi-man tag matches are lowkey quite good.
