Big Japan Pro Wrestling 6/6/2022
I saw 6 of the 7 matches.
Fuminori Abe & Ryo Hoshino vs. Kazumasa Yoshida & Satsuki Nagao
Hoshino hits a dropkick on Yoshida then 2nd rope dropkicks him. Abe gets in and face kicks Nagao off the apron. Yoshida and Abe trade strike flurries in the corner and Yoshida hits a nice chest chop that the crowd pops for. Abe spin kicks Yoshida in the gut then PK's him for 2. Nagao gets in and running forearms Abe.
The two trade shots and Abe hits a beautiful dropkick. Hoshino gets in and running dropkicks Nagao in two corners then suplexes him. Hoshino top rope dropkicks Nagao for 2. Nagao and Hoshino trade forearms. Nagao spinning heel kicks Hoshino and backdrops him for 2. Nagao then taps out Hoshino with a boston crab.
This went too long for being essentially a young lions match. It wasn't bad or anything but it was really nothing special.
Masaya Takahashi vs. Kazumi Kikuta
Masaya pushes Kikuta during intros. He then spears him at the start of the match then mounts and chokes him. Kikuta rolls out and Masaya blocks his attempt at getting in. Masaya and Kikuta forearm each other quite hard. Kikuta hits another hard forearm then dropkicks him in the corner.
Masaya side throws Kikuta then chokes him against from the mount. Masaya punches the ref off and throws out Kikuta. Masaya pulls on his face and pounds him outside then they choke each other. They trade chest palm strikes and Kikuta has to be pulled off him as he punches and elbows him.
Masaya gets busted open then chairs Kikuta. The ref tries to stop him then he chairs the ref. Masaya chairs him more then the ref DQ's him as he foot chokes Kikuta. Ringboys then come and break it up as they continue the fight outside. Masaya rips the ring skirt off and hits and chokes him with it.
So I knew this ended like this as I was checking through the matches. This was a cool fight. It was only a few minutes long, but they looked like they hated each other and really tried to put that over. The ref getting nailed is pretty rare even for BJW and Masaya using the ringskirt against Kikuta outside was cool. Good stuff.
Kota Sekifuda & Tatsuhiko Yoshino vs. Chicharito Shoki & Kaji Tomato
There's some tomato animation in the live chat for niconico and people were spamming it for Kaji in a fun moment. Kaji's been around for a while but I haven't seen that much of him.
Kota and Kaji trade armdrags then go for a dropkick at the same time. Tatsu shoulders Shoki down nad poses then moves out of the way on his dropkick. Shoki then hits a one legged dropkick and tags back to Kaji. Kaji takes a double back elbow then a double team combo that ends in a bulldog and a baseball slide.

Kaji and Kota go at it then Kaji pele kicks him and Shoki hits a top rope la silla on Kota. Kaji takes a german from Tatsu and no sells it for a tiger suplex that Tatsu no sells. Tatsu then downs him with a forearm.
Tatsu and Kaji trade forearms then Tatsu falcon arrows him for 2. Kaji takes a codebreaker into a top rope senton combo then Tatsu germans Kaji for 2. Shoki hits la mistica on Tatsu then Kaji hits a weird flipping side crucifix driver on on Tatsu to win it.
This was a decent juniors match. They progressed nicely from start to finish and didn't overdo it too much. We got a couple of double team moves and we had some face and heel work and I ended up liking this one.
Kazuki Hashimoto & Okami (Daichi Hashimoto & Hideyoshi Kamitani) vs. Andy Wu, Ryota Hama & Yasufumi Nakanoue
Kami tries to shoulderblock Hama early but can't move him. Kami tries it again and gets knocked over. Wu hits a nice legsweep on Kazuki then takes some slams from Kami.

Strong BJ (Daisuke Sekimoto and Yuji Okabayashi) vs Kosuke Sato and Takuya Nomura

Sato teases a leapfrog but catches him with another guillotine and Oka lariats him for 2. Oka puts a deep camel clutch on Sato and wins via tap out.
I thought this was a decent one with the juniors being the underdogs here against the bigger heavyweights. The juniors didn't get a ton in, but what they did get in looked good and Sek and Oka were fine as usual. I would have liked Sek and Oka to hit some germans though and seen more lariats from them here.

Daiju tries to headbutt Jaki but can't hurt him then gets lariated. Ito throws salt at Jaki but Jaki turns around then Jaki salts and mists him and rolls him up for the win.
This really wasn't a bad main event at all. They kept it moving and everyone got something in. They didn't do too much dumb stuff with the weapons and there was a little more than just the usual weapons only matches.
Overall thoughts: This was a good BJW show. 4 of the matches were good and another was a decent match.
