Capital Collision

Washington, District Of Columbia

Aug. 30th, 2024

 

NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team Title #1 Contendership Three Way Match
Hiroshi Tanahashi & Tomohiro Ishii vs. Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) vs. TMDK (Bad Dude Tito & Robbie Eagles)

A fine opening match here. Good action and Ishii and Tanahashi means they have to be on other shows here so makes sense I guess to keep the bigger named NJPW guys on shows in the states. 

3 / 5

Six Man Tag Team Match
CHAOS (Rocky Romero & YOSHI-HASHI) & Kevin Knight vs. BULLET CLUB War Dogs (Clark Connors, David Finlay & Drilla Moloney)

This was fine but felt uneven. We got good showings from half the guys but the other half barely felt active in the match. 

2.5 / 5

No Disqualification Tag Team Match
The West Coast Wrecking Crew (Jorel Nelson & Royce Isaacs) vs. Dirty Work (Fred Rosser & Tom Lawlor)

This was a fine type brawl. One moment where it looked like something went wrong but typical hardcore brawl with doors. 

3 / 5

Singles Match
Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Titan

A fantastic match and a stand out for Titan against ZSJ who is arguably the best at what he does. A lot of great spots and counters here which had the match going at a nice pace. 

4.25 / 5

Non Title Match
TJP vs. Tetsuya Naito

This was fine. Prime Naito is long gone but he looked better here with the help of TJP. 

3.25 / 5

NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team Title Match
TMDK (Mikey Nicholls & Shane Haste) (c) vs. Hechicero & Virus

TMDK looked good here as a heel team and Virus at his age puts most to shame still. 

3.5 / 5

Singles Match
Mustafa Ali vs. Hiromu Takahashi

Another solid match. Had its moments but never felt like anything too great. 

3 / 5

NJPW STRONG Openweight Title Match
Gabe Kidd (c) vs. Lio Rush

A good match and a showcase for Kidd but Rush just didn’t look like he stood a chance here. He made up for some move set as always but this was much more just a good win for Kidd to get. 

3.5 / 5

NJPW STRONG Women’s Title Match
Mercedes Mone (c) vs. Momo Watanabe

A fun match but thats about it. Mercedes is always solid in ring here but this just never felt like anything special at all especially for being a main event match. 

3 / 5
