NJPW
New Japan Cup Night Two
Tokyo, Japan
March 7th, 2024
Six Man Tag Team Match
Bishamon (Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI) & Oleg Boltin vs. Guerrillas Of Destiny (El Phantasmo, Hikuleo & Jado)
This was a little less than mediocre. Severely underwhelming given the talent here.
2 / 5
Tag Team Match
Togi Makabe & Toru Yano vs. TMDK (Mikey Nicholls & Zack Sabre Jr.)
Another match that just didn’t feel like it did much but ZSJ as always shines.
2.5 / 5
Six Man Tag Team Match
BULLET CLUB (Gabe Kidd, KENTA & Taiji Ishimori) vs. United Empire (Callum Newman, Francesco Akira & Jeff Cobb)
This was quicker than the last 2 but had some good moments with it.
3 / 5
Eight Man Tag Team Match
El Desperado, Shota Umino, Tomoaki Honma & YOH vs. House Of Torture (EVIL, Jack Perry, Ren Narita & Yoshinobu Kanemaru) (w/Dick Togo & SHO)
Another match that didn’t equal much outside of showing off Perry some.
2 / 5
Ten Man Tag Team Match
Los Ingobernables de Japon (BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi, Shingo Takagi, Tetsuya Naito & Yota Tsuji) vs. Just 5 Guys (DOUKI, SANADA, Taichi, TAKA Michinoku & Yuya Uemura)
Another match that was just okay. For as many guys as there was here it felt like some did almost nothing.
2 / 5
New Japan Cup 2024 First Round Match
Tomohiro Ishii vs. Chase Owens
A really good opening tournament match. A hard lose for either guy here but always sad to see Ishii lose but Chase looked great here.
3.5 / 5
New Japan Cup 2024 First Round Match
Tanga Loa (w/Jado) vs. Great-O-Khan (w/Jeff Cobb)
This dragged on for far too long I felt. Really uninteresting and slow match personally for me.
1.5 / 5
New Japan Cup 2024 First Round Match
TJP (w/Francesco Akira) vs. David Finlay (w/Gedo)
This was a great match to close the show. Fast action, good spots, and close moments where it could have gone to either guy.
3.5 / 5
