Big Japan Pro Wrestling 4/16/2022 - BJW New Standard Big "B" ~ All Time Super Best~
There's a show from 4/18 as well, but it's the video quality is so bad that it is like watching it with glasses on.
Hikaru Sato & Kota Sekifuda vs. Kazuki Hashimoto & Kosuke Sato
Hikaru Sato is in from All Japan here. Kosuke and Kota go to the mat then stand off. Kazuki and Hikaru shake hands then trade kicks. Kazuki asks for a handshake then slaps him then then they each hit a bunch on each other. Hikaru then slaps him and slams him and then gives him a free shot to kick him.
Kosuke gets in and hits two big dropkicks on Hikaru. Kota then gets in and backcrackers Kosuke as he hangs off the 2nd rope. Kota then top rope dropkicks him for 2. Kosuke guillotines him and suplexes him out of it.
Kota starts to make a comeback and does an unusual slam on him then backdrops him for 2. Kota then picks up the win with a top rope forgsplash on Kosuke.
This was short but it was decent. I liked Hikaru and Kazuki trying to bring a little something to this and Kosuke/Kota matched up well as usual.
Abdullah Kobayashi, Jaki Numazawa & Ryuji Ito vs. Brahman Brothers (Brahman Kei & Brahman Shu) & Drew Parker
Everyone fights at the bell. Jaki gets sprayed with something by the Brahman's then Jaki and Ito counter a 3 person irish whip. Abby gets in and swings his bullrope around. The Brahman's fight with people in the corner of the arean where it's too dark to see match as Abby yells. The Brahman's put a bull rope in Jaki's and Abby's crotch then pull on it to hurt them then they spray Jaki again.
The Brahman's then hold Jaki for a Drew dropkick. Jaki gets a suitcase put in his crotch then Drew rolls a bowling ball at it. Jaki makes his come back with a back elbow on a Brahman then makes a tag to Abby. Abby then goes down and bites a Brahman's crotch. I was going to make a gif of that but nobody needs to see that. Abby then does the same to the other Brahman brother then hits his bell off of Drew's crotch.
Ito gets in and swings his cane wildly. Drew tries to throw salt at Ito and nails his partner instead. He begs for a metal sign from a Brahman then nails his own partner with it. Abby gets in and shining wizard's Drew then Ito rolls up a Brahman brother for the win.
It was a hardcore comedy match. It wasn't that well done or anything, but it was probably more interesting than a straight match would have been. It did have some level of entertainment to it, but that's about it.
Daisuke Sekimoto & Shigehiro Irie vs. Kazumasa Yoshida & Takuho Kato
Kato and Sek shoulder battle to start then Kato shoulders him over. Yoshida hits chest clubs on Sek but makes no headway and gets dropped from his chops. Irie gets in and hits a hard forearm on Yoshida then hits some headbutts. Sek elbow drops Yoshida.
Yoshida hits chest clubs on Irie to little effect then Irie does his rebound splash on him. Yoshida tries to fight off both guys with chest clubs but takes a stiff neckbreaker from Sek for 2 at 5 minutes. Irie can't get a backdrop on Yoshida so Yoshida backdrops him instead.
Kato comes in and hits slams on both opponents then bulldogs Irie. He hits a nice fallaway slam on Irie then Irie comes back with a nice black hole slam on Kato. Sek gets in and lariats Kato against the ropes then takes a running shoulderblock.
Yoshida throws Sek off the top then legdrops him for 2. Yoshida hits a face kick on Sek then takes an abdominal stretch. Kato breaks it up then Yoshida and Kato stereo suplex their opponents at 10 minutes. Sek comes back and lariats both down.
Irie corner cannonballs Yoshida then Sek brainbusters him for 2. Sek then hits a big lariat on him and wins it.
This wasn't bad at all. Yoshida's team didn't bring a lot to this here but I could buy the storyline of Yoshida just trying to hang in there and survive. Irie was good here.
Yasufumi Nakanoue & Yuji Okabayashi vs. Satsuki Nagao & Takuya Nomura
Nomura and Naka start things off. They test strength and Nomura double arm northern lights suplexes him over. Nagao hits some forearms on Oka and they trade hard chest slaps. Oka slams him for 2. Nagao hits a nice dropkick on Oka then takes a double shoulderblock from both opponents.
Nagao chops Oka and Oka dares him to hit more. Oka then knocks him down with one chop. Naka gets in and hits a hard forearm on Nagao then vader bombs him for 2. Nagao hits a running forearm on Naka then gets Nomura in, who facekicks Oka off the apron.
Nomura hits a forearm flurry on Naka then gets one back. Nomura then kick flurries him and underhook suplexes him. Naka flapjacks Nomura then Oka splashes Nomura. Oka and Nomura trade forearms and chest clubs and Nomura has to struggle hard for a slam on him at 10 minutes.
Nagao gets in and hits forearms then russian leg sweeps Oka for 2. Oka takes a double suplex and Nagao forearms him for 2. Oka shoulders down both opponents and takes more Nagao forearms. Oka then kind of running suplexes him for 2. Oka then torture racks him and wins it.
This wasn't a bad match with Nagao trying to go toe to toe with the big guys and Nomura kind of being his back up. The result was never in doubt but it worked.
G-Shock & Alpha Death Match - Kankuro Hoshino vs. Akira Hyodo
We have thin metal rods, barbed wire chairs, ladders, cement blocks and ring steps here.
Hoshino sentons a cement block to prove a point then Hyodo sentons one with rods on it in return. They battle shoulders which Hyodo wins then Hoshino goes into the carpet strips. Hyodo picks up tubes and gets them kicked into his chest. Hoshno hits some elbows then drops an elbow on a ladder on Hyodo.
Hoshino puts some of the rods on cement blocks and gets back body dropped on them. Hyodo then hits Hoshino's back with a cement block and breaks a cement block over the block on his back. Hyodo then stabs him with a rod and chokes him with it. Hyodo then puts a chair on Hoshino's stomach and drops a cement block on it. Hoshi gets put between a ladder and Hyodo slams a chair on it.
Hoshino stupidly flying clotheslines Hyodo and lands his back on a ladder. Hoshino then sentons cement blocks on Hyodo's back for 2 and suplexes him on ring steps. Hoshino slams him on cement blocks and puts a chair on his chest. Hoshino goes for a top rope senton but Hyodo moves and he lands his own back on the blocks. Hyodo then slams him on light tube covered steps.
Hyodo samoan drops him on the cement blocks then misses a top rope senton with tubes and lands on the blocks. They each grab blocks and collide with them. Hoshino then decides to senton a ladder and Hyodo decides to senton ring steps for fun. Hoshino bangs his own head off a block then Hyodo germans him. Hyodo then hits a gorilla press into a gutbuster.
Hoshino STO's him on a ladder then puts blocks on him. Hoshino then top rope sentons blocks on Hyodo and Hyodo kicks out at 2. More blocks get put on Hyodo and a ladder. Hoshino then top rope sentons all of it to win.
This was the usual stupid match between these two. They spend most of it dropping themselves on the cement and do very little wrestling between weapons spots. The matches aren't smart and it's like watching a bad science experiment. They definitely get an "A" for effort though as they have no problems breaking their bodies for a small amount of fans.
BJW Tag Team Title Match - Okami (Daichi Hashimoto & Hideyoshi Kamitani) (c) vs. Kazumi Kikuta & Yuko Miyamoto
Kami gets in and hits some chest slaps and a headbutt on Kikuta then runs him over with a shoulder. Kami slams Kikuta then Hash does the same. Kami then 2nd rope elbows him for 2. Kikuta comes back with a dropkick on Kami then hits a gamengiri on Hash.

Kami and Hash double team Kikuta on the ropes then hit a double running attack. Kami accidentally hits Hash on a double team attempt and Kikuta's team makes a comeback. Yuko spinning heel kicks Hash then corkscrew moonsaults him off the top. Kikuta hits a rare top rope double stomp on Hash. Yuko goes for his handspring back elbow and is caught then takes a lariat/german combo.
Kami hits a big lariat on Kikuta then backdrops him for the win.
This was a pretty good match and one of the better things any of the four have been involved in for a while. They kept it simple and escalated the level of moves properly until the finish. We got to see Kikuta do some moves out of the norm and the oddball pairing of him and Miyamoto worked out better than expected. I liked this one. A good effort by all here.
Overall thoughts: A good BJW show. The main was good and I thought three of the other tag matches were decent too.
