Re: The 2008 MOTYC Thread
Takeshi Morishima vs Takeshi Rikio
***3/4-****
I was really quite surprised by this match, neither of these guys are well known for putting on a decent match but this one (I felt) was the best match of Morishima's reign. Yes it was only 13Minutes long but it was short and very sweet.
I'm quite the sucker for Lariat's and this match gave no shortage of them, with a lot of spots based around them. Rikio didn't get to much offence in (Which will please most people on this board) in this Morishima dominated match. The finish saw Morishima hit a nasty Lariat almost out of nowhere followed by a Backdrop Driver for the 3 count, (Multiple Finisher's done leading up to that as well) nothing epic or really special but still very convincing and put Morishima over as Bad Ass Mother Fucker.
A strong notch in Morishima's unfolding GHC Heavyweight Championship reign.

Pro Wrestling NOAH- GHC Heavyweight Title match
Takeshi Morishima (C) vs. Takeshi Rikio.
A battle of who's the better Takeshi. I've never been a fan of Rikio's work, and he was about average in this match except for a couple points in the match. I got some heat with Rikio now since he stopp Mori from hitting the Shimasault, countering into a second rope Musou.
The match was a battle of superheavyweights, so this was going to be a match of strikes and power moves. The striking wasn't bad, but there were times when they traded clotheslines when if felt a little forced. The last 4 minutes or so is when the pace started to pick up, with each men hitting their signature moves.
Obviously Rikio wasn't going to win the match (Even though he's a former GHC champion himself, he wasn't too well recieved as champion and his reign was somewhat short) but up until the last several minutes, it really didn't feel like a big match. Morishima wins and gets a bit more credibility as champ, and now will face against Kensuke Sasaki in what should be a strong match.
Rating: *** 1/4

WxW 16 Carat Gold Day 3
Hero vs Danielson ****1/2
Great match, Danielson is so hated in Germany its incredible and the crowd eats up all his heel tactics. Not as good as some have made it out to be, but still an incredible match.
