IWGP Intercontinental Title: MVP vs Toru Yano (Part 2)

[99legendarywrestler9]

that japanese guy copied rvd 50-54

[verhoogje86]

poor match with a couple of mistakes. And that's because of Toru Yano. I'm afraid he really had a bit too much Saké before his match :p

[sheamus1234321]

What a fucking untallented japanish bastard... Mvp is the best and should go to wwe abd be on superstars or making a team with riley in raw...

[rbermea]

I think MVP has grown a lot since the WWE released him last year. Taking Japan by storm. Maybe he might find a Japanese hottie to come back to the States with him. Japan must have saw his talents in the WWE with his trademark Ballin' Elbow. That's Vintage MVP. He should have a segment to bring back his VIP Lounge in NJPW. But the language barrier is hard to learn from him, since he is a kokujin (Afro-American). He is Blackzilla. Kokujin Gojira.

[Taurus5190]

He is really main eventing over there I guess. But I would rather have him here before Wrestlemania

[stbreal]

man hes outa shape

[mhthompson417]

Gotta love the Benoit tribute. You know he wouldn't have gotten away with that in WWE....

[MeracusAssis]

3:50~ Triple rolling germans ftw, & afaik MVP is using a crossface variation too now.

[mythology100]

how could they let this man go is beyond me. MVP could've been bigger than John Cena for all we know.

[21richkid]

Since Kurt Angle is having problems with DUI right now, TNA should let him go and have him go to NJPW. He and MVP would be a 5 star match and a classic, Angle is the best technical wrestler in the world, but MVP shown technical which he learned from Chris Benoit.

[elijah230797]

Haiz Japanese nothing compared to American

[fatman2124]

I didn't know Brutus the barber beefcake was Japanese XD. Way to go MVP, showing Wwe fanboys that there is more to wrestling than Wwe.

[XtremeCam]

Do you have their match from July 18th where Tanaka attacks and challenges MVP? I'd love to see that.

[The9mmRKOTJSemtex]

Don't wonder MVP have to get a haircut.

[JRocker69]

LMFAO. He cut off MVP's hair extensions...what a finish.

[theking8701]

@JRocker69 why it has to be extentions

[JRocker69]

@theking8701 This is late, but MVP braided extensions in to his hair, not too long before this match had went on because he had planned on getting his hair cut not too long after this. Which can be seen on his actual YT channel @MVP305brand. Thus hinting why they done the whole "hair cut" bit at the end of the match. As WWE would never let him cut it, since they felt the braids fit the "MVP" image.

[pkmkid84]

He did the Benoit! o.0 3:49

Either way, it was a good match.

[21richkid]

@pkmkid84 Kurt Angle also does this too. MVP is great wrestler, his matches with Chris Benoit or Shelton Benjamin were the best. Also, he would have wrestled Eddie Guerrero if Eddie's death didn't happened the previous year before MVP debuted in WWE.

[sychowalker]

I wonder what it would be like if MVP wrestled in Pro Wrestling NOAH?

[knapman22]

Reason I don't watch Japanese Wrestling = REEEESSTT HOOOOLLDDSS!!!!

[lichrichard]

i believe mvp got got by a crap fat japanese wrestler so he must be crap too LOL but i think he will still do well^

[MYSTERYHERO96]

@lichrichard everyone has to start of with someone basic dude

[mrkkon789]

this show is not equal to WWE show... WWE is No.1

[shaolinfreak9475]

@mrkkon789 You don't get out much do you?

[21richkid]

WWE has not given MVP a World Title there, also they need Great Khali, and the Usos to go and wrestle in NJPW. Khali vs Yano would be a good match, but the Punjabi star has bad legs so the advantage goes to Toru.

[DeadIslandTrailers]

@21richkid

i believe he had one shot at the wwe title back when hhh was champ on smackdown.

it was a six or eight man deal where guys like brian kendrick was in it too, but

the way it was booked, you can obviously tell hunter was going to retain since

everyone else was mid card.

[vytalibus]

I honestly think MVP has the adaptability to do well in IWGP. He's shown to be willing to do stuff he would not be allowed to do in WWE. He might not be able to utilize his charisma because of language differences, but he can certainly do so with his actions.

[thedawn090]

You know how long I've been trying to find this match? Thanks Dirk.

[thedawn090]

LMAO at the ref. I love him

[CMLiquid]

@MegaLollygagger Exactly, but you know @DirkMantooth made a good point, he's wrestling Toru Yano... But still, things like his "Ballin" Elbow seem kind of weird in Puro.

[thedawn090]

@CMLiquid MVP uses the Ghetto Strongstyle!! The NJPW crowd loves him, he doesn't really need to change. It's be nice though.

[LocusInter]

BOR-ING ELBOW! fUKKEN TAPPED! XD

[CMLiquid]

I really don't think MVP's wrestling style fits well with Puro wrestling

[DirkMantooth]

@CMLiquid Whenever a wrestler goes somewhere new, it takes time for them to adapt to the style there. MVP will learn what it takes in Japan and what only works in America. However, it would help if he had a better opponent than Toru Yano ;)

[ThePacmanClassic]

@DirkMantooth What top-rope moves can MVP do? As I have never seen him don one.

[Miamirules99]

@DirkMantooth Does that mean he is not doing well in NJPW? i thought this match was decent enough

[shizeninho]

@CMLiquid i think he's gotten alot better since joining njpw, his style is improving imo.

[smallmuta]

MVP is too weak to protect his hair（ーー；）

[ThePacmanClassic]

@smallmuta Humm lol but in MVP's Youtube videos he said he got fed-up of having to wash it & having it done by the barbers, he wanted his old short look so recently in his Youtube video he got his haircut back to his old short look as he said he wanted a "start fresh".

[rnbqw057]

ＭＶＰ器用だなぁ。

[Dman4Life8017]

Man, I miss MVP, but I'm glad to see him living well and prospering in Japan.
