Welcome back, Go. Yours truly, Minoru. P.S. – This is going
to hurt. On paper, I was curious about this match. I like Minoru Suzuki. Go
Shiozaki had some pretty good matches in AJPW last year but I’ve yet to see his
return work in NOAH. The crowd clear doesn’t care that he’s back. Throughout
this match, he tries to get them on his side but they don’t bite. Suzuki is
just a DICK and it’s so much fun to watch. Of course, there iares shenanigans in
this as its building to Kanemaru’s betrayal but there’s a lot to like here: the
Suzuki bitch-style slaps, the screwdriver to the head, the arm work, Shiozaki’s
selling. That armbar takedown by Suzuki looks painful as he just wrenches Go to
the canvas. Even when Shiozaki manages a little bit of a comeback, Suzuki cuts
him off and goes right back to humiliating him. The Go Flasher literally got no
reaction but let’s be honest…it’s a pretty lame move to begin with. In the end, Kanemaru turns, Suzuki defeats Go
with the Gotch-style piledriver, and Maybach Taniguchi comes out to make the
save, unmasking to become…Shuhei Taniguchi.
