Kuishinbo Kamen vs. MIKAMI, Osaka Pro/Kuishinbo Kamen Produce 12/15/2010
It‘s a serious Kamen match baby! They basically wrestle a straight juniors match until Mikami pisses Kamen off by going for the mask. That causes Kamen to snap and beat the shit out of Mikami with fucking insane dropkicks and open hand slaps. Awesome. This resembled the better WAR junior matches as in it had scrappy violence, cool flying and one absolutely insane huge highspot that I am not going to spoil. But it‘s safe to say that Mikami is an absolute lunatic. Finishing run was a bit more standard stuff but there were some nasty face kicks and face stomps and Kamens fire was great. I thought the constant rollups were cool as both guys are the type to win a match with a tricky roll up, so the ending didn‘t feel like bullshit. This was a gem.
Kuishinbo Kamen & Black Buffalo vs. Masahiko Kochi & Magnitude Kishiwada, 7/30/2010
Another violent match with no jokes at all! The passion and fire these guys put on for a crowd of like 200 people puts all current wrestling to shame. This was less about Kamen the asskicker and more about Kamen the sympathetic taking a beating. Kochi and Kishiwada sure were out to kill the clown here. Plenty of stiff blows and chair shots. I have no idea how old Kochi lucked into this match but he looked good dishing out kicks and taking some stiff headbutts from Kamen. Buffalo is a great secondary guy who can tag in and hit mean lariats and leg drops. And Kishiwada is a damn great monster shrugging people off and killing them with his lariats and bomb-ladden moveset. Kamen going for Kishiwadas mask and then hitting his super stiff looking corner dropkick was great. The finishing stretch was surprisingly elaborate and had a few convincing nearfalls without going overboard, always staying true to the Kamen underdog story. No downtime or filler, just a great heated match.
