5 star match, 10 stars if I could give it...how did both of these guys not end up in traction after this match?!....now THIS is how a world title match should be
For a 35 minute match there was non stop excitement, that would have to be probably one of the best wrestling matches I have seen, Outstanding Effort by both men!
This match IS INSANE!!! It's like a 'Can you top this match' as both these guys out do each other (and themselves) with every single move throughout the entire match
It wasn't perfect. There were a few flubbed moves, but so does every match. But for the risks they took, the pace, and the stiffness, I'd definitely say this was 5 stars. It had a solid beginning but when you saw Marufuji MOONSAULT OVER THE BARRIER, you knew this was gonna be classic.
yeah videogamestwin vince should have great wrestlers like these in the wwe but the wwe is all about acting and entertainment these guys are not acting and most of the moves that you,ve saw in this vid was banned from the wwe because those are dangerous moves
@SmackdownVsRaw10 The real problem is that WWE is all about making the wrestlers into entertainers and in Japan or some Indy in North America make the wrestlers into competitors
Yeah they were sick but dont you feel that no selling these moves when previously an apron DDT almost "killed" KENTA and he was selling for lik the next 10 mins, dont you think that harms the psychology of the match? i know its Japan and is more of a sport but i still feel that these sorts of No-sells can harm the psychology of a match
i'm thinking that the no sells on the plexs was to show the fire and desire they have to win the match and in that line of thinking i believe it was still good match psychology. epic match.
hmmm yh the match was epic, maybe its just me too used to viewing a match in storyline terms etc - the no selling though does show how legitly touhg these guys are hats off to the crazy bastards
these guys worked an unbelievably gruelling pace for 30 minutes and took bumps that should've ended the match, all before no-selling each others' suplexes in rapid succession.
my hat is off to these gentlemen. what a match! they are the best in the world today.
Would love to see KENTA wrestle barefoot, or, even better, to see his opponent remove KENTA's ring boots, one at a time and work over each bare foot in turn -- and then both.
Let me know if that ever happens. Reminds me of the time this very thing happened to Tatsumi Fujinami. Can't remember who the heel was that did this to him, though.
Sorry. The comment above was supposed to be a response to barefootmuscle, when he said "Would love to see KENTA wrestle barefoot, or, even better, to see his opponent remove KENTA's ring boots, one at a time and work over each bare foot in turn -- and then both"
This has to be the best match I've ever had the privilege of seeing in about 5 years! These two men personify what wrestling is and what it should be. Thank you Kenta and thank you Marufuji for your "wrestling" because it is your "wrestling" that gave us the "entertainmnent".
well the way i see it wwe is entertainment and not even the place for wrestling like this so i respect cena for his ability as an entertainer if i want wrestling i look for roh or noah
if more people saw wrestling like this there would be more respect for the business, but its hard to respect Cena throwing fake punch after fake punch
I don't even know what to say, words can't desribe how good this match was. The only thing that bothered was at the end like 5 amazing finishers were used back to back by both Kenta and Morufuji and a michinoku driver all of a sudden ends the match. But still I can't complain and I won't complain, this was simply amazing.
why do some people bitch about Punk "stealing" the
Go 2 Sleep, a wrestling move is a wrestling move. Why does nobody get pissed that Kennedy uses a swanton..or the fact that KENTA at one time used a falcon arrow, Hayabusa's move...i just dont understand it its a wrestling move dont stress out over the fact that more than one person uses it, and i agree it was a hell of a match.
and i dont care if cm punk uses the go 2 sleep thats cool but at least give kenta credit for inventing th move.
just cuz he isnt on "american" television and "american" tv doesnt mean that he is the real innovator of the move not some guy who underage kids watch on tv weekly. Respect to Punk though, especially the ROH punk. not so much wwe punk buht still. Respect.
This is absolutely amazing.....American promotions have never had a match like this. They need to watch NOAH and learn how to put on a show.Absolutely Amazing!!!
How can u possibly like Punk! To be fair, he had some AWESOME matches in ROH, but he is just a watered down NOAH wrestler. He stole the Go 2 Sleep and now the bitch is using Kawada kicks. His whole "martial arts" routine is weak and weakly executed. KENTA or the real Kenta (Kobashi) would kick his poser face in. Punk should go back to his more mat-based style.
Punk doesn't use the Plunge any more because it hurts his knees too much, NOT because of HHH. That's the same reason so many guys stop using the Moonsault - it messes the knees up BAD after a while.
But do you think that HHH would let CM Punk use a top-rope version of his established finisher? Hell, in Steve Austin's book Jim Ross seems more offended by the fact Owen Hart used a version of the Tombstone piledriver than by the fact the said move broke Austin's neck.
It's hypothetical anyway. I believe what you say about it hurting his knees too much to use. Who wants to end up with knees like Terry Funk or Keiji Muto?

Wrestling like this is so awesome, it brings a tear to my eyes. Anyone got a Hanky. :) 5/5 for me because this is my first NOAH match and it sets the bar so far. thanx for the video dude
I don't know, it's been so long since I commented on this that I don't remember which exact spot I was referring to. I tend to be pretty keen, so it probably wasn't the same thing you noticed.
This is absolutely a Match of the Year candidate. I never thought I'd be as amazed by this two combatants as I am now. Perhaps you could call them two of the best pro wrestlers today. Awesome match!
