Poor Terry and RO & D.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Misawa match, sounds like was the right kind of length.
Also, that tag match will rule.

12/2 Kenta Kobashi and Yoshihiro Takayama vs Mitsuharu Misawa and Jun Akiyama. Can't Wait. Yeah, as if Kobashi's return alone wasn't a big enough deal, this makes it that much better. |

Not surprised in the least by how any of the title matches turned out.

Lost to an elbow to the back of the head? Basically, Misawa uses the Emerald Flowsion on guys he can lift and uses a running elbow on guys he can't lift. |

Just finished watching the match. It was nothing special. It wasn't bad like Misawa's previous defense agaisnt Marufuji, but it wasn't anything worth remembering. It was tough because there was two moments in the match I thought that they might take it to the next level but they never did. The first being, right after Joe hit the suicide elbow dive to the outside. They kind of just came back in and hit up some weakly applied rest holds (On both parties. Joe's dragon sleeper was laughable). Then around the 14-15min mark Joe came out with a signature flurry of moves. The standing senton even got the quiet crowd to make some noise. What then? More restholds, followed by the final sequence which was not bad at all. Just too early. Joe hit the Muscle Buster for a two, followed by an Exploder, and Island driver. No dice. Misawa hit the Frosion on Joe, but also only got the two. Finish was Misawa hitting Joe with elbows from all angles, finally lifting him off the mat into a seating position, and delivering the KO elbow to the back of Joe's head. Like I said, decent closing sequence, that came about 10 minutes too early.
Final Rating- ** (If you are a mark for either guy, or for just seeing the random Gaijin vs. Puro Legend match, you will want to see this. If you are expecting anything great, you might want to just pass, and keep whats in your imagination.)
