Takeshi Ono & Ryuji
Hijikata vs. Kengo Mashimo & Junji Tanaka (BattlARTS 11/5/2011) - GREAT
Futen crew gets together on the last BattlARTS card. Hijikata and Tanaka were solid in this, working pretty stiff, but not really BattlARTS style. Ono was on another level, however. All of his strikes were ultra vicious and when he was working over Tanakas arm he was trying to crush him. Really good if you want an 11 minute highlight reel of what makes Ono so great. The ending run is him trying to maul Tanaka with punches and kicks while Tanaka is able to make a few well timed comebacks until Ono catches him. Onos punches are so great, most wrestlers when throwing hands will throw some weak hands before a big shot, Ono however is constantly pressuring him tagging Junjis jaw and kidneys. Even when he’s working over Junjis body it looks like he’s perforating him. I’m a fan of Junji but the greatness of those exchanges is a pure testament to Ono.
Takeshi Ono vs. Masaru Toi, Rainbow, Promotion
3/21/2002 - GREAT
Even though this went only about 7 minutes, I fought this was pretty much the perfect shooter vs. old deathmatch guy match. TakeshiOno, in what is apparently his only match that year, looked great blasting Toi with kicks and punches. Even when Toi grabbed his barbedwire bat, Ono still took him down easily. Toi going for the chairs was great. He looked to crush Onos ribcage with a stiff solebutt and then a massive kneedrop. Ono constantly refusing to let Toi get in his offense easily kept the match unpredictable. Really good little clash.
SASUKE & Chabinger & Sasuke Performa 346 vs. Sasuke The Great & Masked Tiger & NANIWA (M.Pro 2/3/2002) - GREAT
A bunch of ninjas and sleazy masked dudes fly around in Korakuen Hall! By no means is this a great match, but it is a great bizarre indy spectacle. They bring out a bunch of ladders for this so you know what that means. Match includes: lots of preposterous Sasuke highspots (including the apron tope) and ladder-related awrygoings! Chabinger abusing everyone with his weird wooden mini table! Great Sasuke disappearing and reappearing, changing between his Great Sasuke/Sasuke the Great personae! Takeshi Ono in a mask hitting dudes with high kicks! Orihara looking good! NANIWA doesn't know how to do the Naniwa Elbow! Great Sasuke hitting some REALLY stiff kicks! Sanhshiro Takagi in a mask handing out stunners! After the match everyone sits down and they have a beer. Osamu Tachihikari comes out too. Rating: watch if you can laugh at Sasuke getting a ladder flung at his head.
