*Night 8 July 26th, Korakuen Hall*

C Block Aaron Henare vs. EVIL 

Uncle Dave stars:

Who I Picked : EVIL

Who won :

Aaron Henare 1-0-3 

EVIL 3-0-1

(So much Buuuul shit outside the ring stuffff! It’s like the 90’s Kendo Kashin matches I’d fas forward through… because they were six hour tape and forward pass for the other matches I wanted see. … then I’d be more pissed at Kendo kashin!! Annnny waaaay. I don’t understand why new Japan is not pulling the trigger on hannare but otherwise typical EVIL stuff with a quick fun monster spot..)

**********************************

D Block Hirooki Goto vs. Alex Coughlin x 

Uncle Dave stars:

Who I Picked : Alex Coughlin

Who won : Alex Coughlin

Alex Coughlin 1-0-3

Hirooki Goto 3-0-1

(Kevin Kelly starts out with a Great Pun.. Chris Charlton injury contex for Goto! Remind me of the year 2000 Red Sox commentators, I like it so much! Not much to it but the story was there)

*******************************

C Block Shingo Takagi X  vs. Mikey Nicholls

Uncle Dave stars:

Who I Picked : Shingo Takagi 

Who won : Shingo Takagi 

Shingo Takagi 2-0-2 

Mikey Nicholls 1-0-3

(Fast paced stuff at the start! I can’t get over how much Michael Nichols looks like 2000’s Roderick strong! I have no idea what transpired at the end but I’m into it) 

********************************

D Block Hiroshi Tanahashi x vs. Toru Yano

Uncle Dave stars: 

Who I Picked : Hiroshi Tanahashi

Who won :

Hiroshi Tanahashi 2-0-2

Toru Yano 0-0-4

(Tanahashi told Yano to “ be serious This is the G1.” I don’t think it will work… Charlton gives the name of these teams former tag team name.. “the bee bop twins”! Kevin, kelley Kelly is so good “ did Tani pause because he was going to squash his friend or did he pause because his body made him”

Yano hit a corner, buckle dragon screw, which was a good idea, but looked awful. As this match started, I realized that my pick up is probably wrong… it just felt like Yano is due. But for points in my peace of mind the ace won the worst match I’ve ever seen him in)

********************************

C Block Tomohiro Ishii vs. Eddie Kingston 

Uncle Dave stars:

Who I Picked : Eddie Kingston

Who won : Tomohiro Ishii

Eddie Kingston 2-0-2 = 4

Tomohiro Ishii 1-0-3 = 2

(what a brawl!!! Just Stef Strikes after strike! Ishii nails in incredibly gross elbow hyper extending counter to the back elbow!! Eddy was in tears as he gos for a pin. What a fucking brawl)

************************

D Block Tetsuya Naito x vs. Shane Haste

Uncle Dave stars:

Who I Picked : Tetsuya Naito

Who won : Shane Haste

Tetsuya Naito 2-0-2

Shane Haste 1-0-2 

(this was a big upset. It started out with nonsense then escalated into mad neck trauma!  Pretty fun)

*******************************

C Block Tama Tonga x vs. David Finlay

Uncle Dave stars:

Who I Picked : Tama Tonga 

Who won : Tama Tonga 

Tama Tonga 3-0-1 

David Finlay 3–0-1

(outside the Ring stuff but at least this makes some sense. Tama had pay back on his mind. I’m not super interested in bullit club drama but I’m MORE interested than I’ve seen in a while, that created a nice back drop for this match up

**********************************

Uncle Dave stars: ****1/2 

Who I Picked : Jeff Cobb

Who won : Jeff Cobb

Zack Sabre Jr 3-0-1
