Katsuyori
Shibata & Kota Ibushi vs. Naomichi Marufuji & Takeshi Morishima (BML,
6/18/06)
Well,
this was a hot mess. Marufuji and Ibushi weren’t at their bests here, with
Ibushi looking especially ungainly. Marufuji just didn’t seem to care much at all. That
being said, I loved the shoot interactions between Shibata and Morishima.
During the match, Shibata tags in Ibushi but Morishima completely blows off
Ibushi’s kicks to continue fighting with Shibata and when Ibushi finally gets
his attention, Morishima clobbers him with an elbow and tags out. Team NOAH work
on the lower back and legs of Ibushi for a bit, keeping him distant from his
partner, but once Shibata gets the tag, he goes completely nuts on Marufuji
with strikes in the corner and poor Marufuji doesn’t have a prayer. It’s an
awesome moment in an otherwise unawesome match. In the end, Morishima pins
Ibushi after a backdrop.
