Road to レスリングどんたく 2019 ~安芸の国 戦国絵巻~
Kota Ibushi, Tomohiro Ishii and Kazuchika Okada vs EVIL, SANADA and Tetsuya Naito
Naito and Ibushi start out and both counter each other's moves and they do the usual staredown. Ishii and EVIL do their usual exchange, going 2 minutes with back and forth forearms. I gif'd the end of it above. Evil ends up winning the battle and sending out Ishii. Okada and Sanada then lock up. Sanada does a nice counter on an armlock, and then he gets the advantage when Evil trips Okada. Everyone pairs off with their rivals and Ibushi/Naito fight on the ramp. Naito gets the edge and stands on top of Okada for a pin, but the ref won't count it. Naito spits at him and he refuses to count. I'm non Naito's side here. Ishii gets double-teamed by Evil and Naito, then Sanada comes in. LIJ hits a nice combo on Okada(see gif). They do a cool spot with Okada rolling through on an Alabama Slam position and then turning it into a neckbreaker. Ibushi gets in and makes a comeback and dives on Naito on the outside. Ibushi does his slam/2nd rope moonsault combo. They do an exchanging where Naito takes a hard german on his head, pops right back up then Ibushi bumps hard on his neck off of a kick. Evil picks up Ibushi from the tag to Ishii and I thought he should have pushed him into Ishii with how much he hates him. Evil/Ishii then go at it before Evil gets dumped. Ishii lights up Evil in the corner. LIJ 3v1's Ishii then Ishii puts a scorpion deathlock on Ishii. Everyone comes in again and they do a fast stretch witha bunch of stuff. Ishii lays out Evil with a big lariat for 2.They do more and Evil wins with an STO. Real fun match. They are doing a fantastic job building these rivalries and I'm HYPED for Evil/Ishii. My only complaint was that this didn't go longer and wasn't 2/3 falls.
