Awesome August: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Prince Devitt

Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Prince Devitt (08/12/10) : G1 match. Wow! Holy cow, that was a great little match! Nice wrestling to start. Tanahashi works Devitt's leg which they actually come back to later (although wish they would have revisited in the final third). Great finishing stretch nonetheless and an excellent wrestling match.

Hi wrestling fans! We've got more Tajiri You Might Have Missed! Check out this cool pic! Okay let's get to the matches! Tajiri vs Minoru Tanaka (BJW 02/03/98) : This is from Big Japan Wrestling. These two are at it again! See this post for their previous fight. Here we get the full match & its 8 minutes of excellence. This is a tournament match so both wrestlers are looking to end this quickly and advance to the finals. Minoru has the advantage as he uses his grappling skills to put Tajiri in a few submission predicaments. Yoshihiro fights with his feet but is looking to send Minoru back to BattlARTS with suplexes. There's a lot of cool stuff here and fans of either guy will have a blast with this bout. Very good! ~spoiler alert~ Tajiri vs Gedo (BJW 02/03/98) : Yes! This was smart! Gedo uses the injury Tajiri sustained in the previous match against him. This is well paced, told a great story but had plenty of action & excitement. This was a great match! Gedo is awe...

Hi wrestling fans! A few years back I found New Japan has a bunch of free matches up on their Japanese YouTube page. There's stuff from the early 2000's up to the early 2010's. There's actually quite a bit available. Now, many of these seem to be from small shows and aren't your big time events. I've gone through and there are some great matches though. In this Battle Guide, I'm collecting Best of the Super Junior matches from 2010. Down the road, I'll be looking at more of New Japan 2010. Stay tuned for that! OK let's take a look at these matches. You will find something you like! Starting with the 06/01 show Yoshihashi (before YOSHI-HASHI) vs Fujita "Jr." Hayato :  A very good, intense bout. Jr. looked like a leg kicking Terminator. Yoshihashi was good as well but, Jr.'s technique was superior. The finish really drove that home. Some might not love the finish but, I certainly did. It looked like a MMA finish where the ref has to call ...
