NJPW Wrestle Kingdom III

Cewsh: Oh Wrestle Kingdom, you sexy bitch. This is the first Japanese show that we ever watched together, and, for both of us, was really the first time we'd seen what NJPW is as a promotion these days. We were very, very impressed. But more than anything, this is the first time that either of us laid eyes on the hunky, dreamboat Hiroshi Tanahashi, who has become sort of an unaware mascot of our fine review institution.

New Japan Professional Wrestling Proudly Presents...

NJPW Wrestle Kingdom III

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to yet another Rajah Award nominated edition of Cewsh Reviews. After a holiday hiatus, thanks to no major companies wanting to hold any important shows over the winter holidays, we have decided to bring you the very best in international wrestling to get you primed and ready for us to explode into a new year of show reviews. Now many of you may well be entirely unfamiliar with Japanese wrestling, or may know just enough to recognize a few names, so we’ll do our best to catch you up to speed on what may be the most important wrestling show of recent times. Even if you have no intention of watching this or any Japanese wrestling show, hopefully this review will get you more acquainted with the goings on of our funny talking neighbors across the ocean.


First, a little backstory on this show. If you know all this already, feel free to skip this bit, but this is a primer of sorts to help people enjoy the show a little more.

The major companies in Japan were always New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW). Throughout the 90s they fought for supremacy in Japan (think the Monday Night Wars and you have a good idea). But when Giant Baba died and his wife took over AJPW, many of the wrestlers left the company, feeling that she was an unfit owner. Mitsuharu Misawa, the company’s biggest star of the 90s set off to start his own company, Pro Wrestling NOAH, which has met with great success in the years since, and may be best known as the company that puts many of its wrestlers on Ring of Honor shows. Through this time of NOAH’s rise, NJPW has continued going strong, though there has been a decided decline in business, and AJPW has shriveled to a shadow of its former self.

This show however, not only brings together formerly bitter rivals NJPW and AJPW, but also stars from NOAH, Pro Wrestling Zero-1, TNA, and CMLL even offered the biggest Mexican star of our generation, Mistico, for a match. To say that this is an absolutely monstrous collection of talent is an understatement; this is the kind of supercard that comes once in a generation. Alright, everybody caught up? Good. Let’s get on with the show.

Segment 1 - Wrestle Kingdom Grand Opening VIENTO DORADO (Their words, not mine): (Mexican Hulk Hogan) Mistico (CMLL), Ryusuke (Cewsh Has No Idea Who I Am) Taguchi and Prince (Purple Rain) Devitt vs. Averno (CMLL) (Flabby Masked Man) and (Fuck You, We Are) Jado & Gedo

Cewsh: Right from the start you should know that this is basically just an exhibition match to show off Mistico to the Japanese fans, as this is his first match, to the best of my knowledge, in the country. Japan and Mexico have always traded wrestlers, so there’s a lot of mutual respect there, and Mistico’s debut was hotly anticipated.


Vice: Fairly good match to start the show. Mistico is so goddamn smooth that it boggles my mind. He also looks a ton like Rey Mysterio, especially with the white contacts. My main problem with him (from what I’ve seen) and luchadors in general (from what I’ve seen) is that every move seems to be a headscissors takedown or a moonsault, but I’m not going to hold that against them because that’s their style, and every country has their own style.

Still though, a good opener. Spotty with a quick pace does the trick these days.



Cewsh: This is your basic opening Japanese match aside from the addition of Mistico. A lot of flying around by crusierweights. Some stiff shots, and some moves that definitely make you say “Wow”, but not a ton of substance. It gets you excited for the show, without giving you all of what you came for, and they pretty much have it down to a science in Japan. But the story here is Mistico. I don’t know that I have ever seen a man works smoother than he does. A 15 foot long Suicide Dive? No problem. A spinning headscissors and land on his feet? Child’s play. Literally everything the man does looks like gold, its truly no wonder he’s such a pimp in his home country. Even his finisher is just smooth as butter. Just great stuff to watch.


I’d give it a higher score for Mistico, but it wasn’t a long or terribly good match. Just an exhibition. I’ll rate it as such.

60 out of 100

Segment 2 - Jushin Thunder Liger’s 20th Anniversary Match: Jushin (Old Man) Thunder (Did I Mention Old?) Liger and Takuma (Remember Me? Anybody?) Sano (NOAH) vs. (The New Breed) Wataru Inoue and Koji Kanemoto

Cewsh: The story here is that this match marks Liger’s 20th anniversary in the business, and his partner, Sano, was the guy he broke in with and feuded with early in his career. They’re been separated by promotions for a long time, so this is kind of a big deal, seeing them together again.

Out comes everybody, and Liger gets a pretty huge pop for an entrance in Japan. He’s been competing at such a high level there for so long, that he’s basically been the face of the company for years and years. If you don’t know him, he wrestled in WCW a bunch, and is basically the Shawn Michaels of NJPW. Been there forever, never defected, top notch junior worker, inspired all those after him, etc, etc. He’s also blatantly losing his hair, ala Shawn Michaels, but at least he has a mask to hide it, and not just a cowboy hat. Also, for the record, Liger is credited as having invented the Shooting Star Press, so Billy Kidman basically has him to thank for having had a career.

This is basically a young lions verses older veterans match, with Inoue especially sort of being the face of the “New Generation” in Japan. As such, its not as fast paced a match as you’d maybe expect from the participants, with Sano especially slowing it down. I can’t take anything away from Liger though, because he can obviously still go, even if not as fast or hard as he could in his youth. Seriously though, there aren’t many people wrestling as well as Liger is 20 years into their career, and it’s a testament to his talent. Sano, though. Well he just sort of sucks. He kind of sits around waiting for people to do his one move to. He definitely brought this match’s quality down, but it didn’t much matter. This match was pretty much a milestone celebration for Liger.

60 out of 100


Vice: Sano is awful. He didn’t do anything. He didn’t sell or no-sell, which is something so strange that it actually baffles me about how it’s possible. This match featured way too much of Sano, too. I feel bad for hating this match because Liger was in it, but nothing clicked. It was just there, and barely at that. Amazingly unimpressed. The Red Ranger deserves better.

If there’s a match you choose to skip, this would probably be it. Sorry Liger.

Segment 3 - IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title ~Tread on!!~: NO LIMIT (NO DIGGITY) (c) vs. The Motor City (Even Japanese People Know That Detroit Is A Shithole) Machine Guns (TNA)

Cewsh: Here we have the first TNA guys of the night, and this should be a really exciting match. NO LIMIT are a newer tag team, but have definitely been making a name for themselves, and can definitely keep up with the Guns, so we’ll see how things go.

So yeah, sometimes when I do this review, I’m typing during the match, because the match simply doesn’t draw my interest, or I don’t have a high opinion of the people involved. Yeah, this was not one of those times. This was a fast paced spotfest from start to finish, and it just dared you to look away. The Machine Guns pretty much did their regular spots, but they had really quite good chemistry with NO LIMIT, and as the match picked up speed towards the end, it became really very intense right up until the very good, and somewhat surprising finish.

This wasn’t an amazing match by any stretch of the imagination, but it was exactly what this show needed after two exhibition matches, and really got me pumped up for the big matches. I almost want to give it Cewsh’s Seal of Approval, but I have to stick to my rating’s system.

72 out of 100


Vice: Good match here. High energy and fast paced work from two solid tag teams. Wasn’t a whole heck of a lot of story, but everyone worked together to make it a good showing. I wish there were more actual tag teams these days. Or, well, if two random people actually worked at becoming a good tag team. Dress somewhat similar, come out to one theme song and not a horrible combination of the individual theme songs, think of a few tag team maneuvers, and you’re set. Rocket science, I know.

This match also made me really wish TNA would get the fuck out of Orlando so that the Guns could be massive heels. Alex Shelley is one of the biggest dicks in wrestling and could get gigantic amounts of heat.. if the people watching him would actually have the nerve to boo him. He’s such a dick that anyone associated with him (Sabin) is a massive dick as well. Good work from all four men in this match.

Segment 4 - IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title ~Ballistic interception: Low ( Chance of Ever Getting Another Job In The States) Ki (c) vs. Tiger Mask (MLVII)

Vice: Another good match here. I wasn’t expecting too much because I’ve never been impressed with this Tiger Mask and Low Ki can be very hit or miss—“miss” pretty much described him the last 15 times I saw him. But, in a wacky turn of events, both were on form tonight. This is probably the best Tiger Mask match I’ve seen, edging out his match against Quackenbush from a while ago, and Low Ki looked like his former self. I was pleasantly surprised.

Very solid match right here.


Cewsh: Man, its been awhile since most people have seen a Low-Ki match, but I really, really miss him in the States. He has one of my favorite wrestling styles of all time, and was always a fantastic worker. Of course every promotion except WWE has kicked him out and they’ll never hire him, so this is how we can enjoy him now. Anyhow, these two guys have been feuding off and on for awhile, and it’s a pretty hot feud in NJPW, and for good reason, because these guys are both great workers.

This match does not disappoint. Its intense, hard hitting, with lots of kicking out of finishers, and tons of near falls. These guys have great chemistry and it really shows in the ring. They didn’t get as much time as I would have liked, but that’s only because I could watch these two guys wrestle all day long. Vicious ending to the match too, even if it does come a little out of nowhere.

Also, on an unrelated note, I swear to god that Low Ki is Suicide in TNA. He was wearing the same goddamn boots for fuck’s sake. You heard it first here.

Segment 5 - Fighting Holdings Competition: Riki (My Face Melted And I No Sold It) Choshu, Masahiro (Black Charisma) Chono, Kurt (Finally A Place Where I Can No Sell Guilt Free!) Angle & Kevin (Who Are All Of These Midgets?) Nash vs. Giant (A-Train) Bernard, Takashi (I’m One of The Midgets) Iizuka, Tomohiro (Me Too) Ishii & Karl (I’m Getting Pinned) Anderson

Cewsh: Alright so there’s a bit before the match where Chosu and Chono are riding with Angle and Nash, and unofficially show that they have joined the Main Event Mafia. I’ll leave comments about that for the TNA reviews, but its definitely interesting, and certainly makes the MEM legit in an entirely different way. As to the match itself, well basically you have 4 absolute legends of wrestling against A-Train and 3 jobbers. They aren’t necessarily jobbers ordinarily, but make no mistake. That’s exactly what they are here.

That said, this is actual a pretty competitive and entertaining match. Angle is huge over in Japan, Nash looked like an absolute monster all the way through, Chono can still move incredible well for his age, and Chosu…well Chosu is still awful. But to be fair, he always was, and people love him anyway. This match is pretty short, but very good for what it was, and the ending was pretty much exactly what you’d expect.

72 out of 100


Vice: Chono should totally join the Main Event Mafia. He’d fit perfectly, and it adds the whole global aspect that TNA tries to achieve. Not quite sure of Tomko’s status, but if he comes back to TNA, they should also think about picking up Prince A-Train Bernard and have them be a tag team. The story is already there. I don’t see how either signing could hurt them.

Solid match right here. Wasn’t spectacular by any means, but it was everything it needed to be and played out as well as it probably could have.

The Main Event Mafia over the Job Squad plus Giant Bernard with the Anglelock.

Post Match:

Cewsh: After the match, the new MEM jumps their opponents, but Bernard fights them all off and delivers a DEVASTATING sitout piledriver to Angle. Christ that was nasty. Maybe Bernard to TNA? Let the speculation wagon ride on.

Segment 6 - World Heavyweight Title ~Crusade for Justice~: Yuji (Asian Grampa) Nagata (c) vs. Masato (I Like To Elbow People Very Much) Tanaka (Zero-1)

Cewsh: This match is for the Zero-1 Heavyweight title, not the NJPW one, just to keep things clear on that one. Tanaka is basically the face of Zero-1 (and the guy who used to beat on Mike Awesome in ECW) and Nagata is a NJPW guy who came in and beat him for the title, so this is their epic and incredibly heated rematch. And epic it is likely to be. Tanaka is entirely willing to kill himself to put on a good match, and Nagata is as good as it gets when he’s on fire.


Vice: Excellent, stiff match with a good story. I don’t think you could ask for more from this match. Both of these guys were on fire and the fans kept pouring gasoline on them. I love how each wrestler had people in their corner. It gave it a wonderful big fight atmosphere, and it was lovely seeing them dive in the ring to tend to the battered warriors when everything was said and done.


Cewsh: This match is fucking stiff. Its also Zero-1 verses NJPW, so its heated and intense and bloody and violent, and fucking fabulous. These guys have an absolute war in and around the ring, throwing forearms, chairs and anything else they have in their arsenals at each others. Nagata is the wily veteran with the talent and the experience, but Tanaka just refuses to go down and let him win, and just keeps coming back no matter what Nagata does. Nagata does everything he can think of to put him away, but Tanaka takes it all and keeps asking for more.

There’s a sequence where they’re literally on their knees headbutting each other because they hate each other so much and its all they can manage. As these warriors fight, drenched in blood and sweat, giving everything of themselves for the prize they both can’t live without, the crowd comes alive, louder than at any other part of the night, feverishly cheering for the underdog Tanaka even though Nagata is the hometown hero. Tanaka’s fire simply cannot be denied, will not be denied. But Nagata refuses to let the younger man show him up.

And then, at the last…well. Spoil for yourself below if you’d like to. Or watch it for yourself. I’m certainly recommending that you do. This is the best match I have seen since I started reviewing shows. Here it is. The only match to break the 90 plateau. It earns every single point.

91 out of 100

Cewsh's Seal of Approval

Yuji Nagata over Masato Tanaka with the Backdrop Driver.

Segment 7 - New Japan vs. NOAH Battle Tendencies ~the invasion~: Manabu (He Will, Allegedly, Rock You) Nakanishi vs. Jun (July, August, September) Akiyama (NOAH)

Cewsh: Years and years ago, these two guys met in an amateur wrestling tournament to determine who would get the last spot on the Japanese Olympic team that year. Nakanishi won, I believe, and there has been bad blood between the two ever since. Akiyama went on to become a huge star for NOAH, and Nakanishi never quite made it to the same heights, so there’s some bitterness and animosity here between these two guys.

This match is pure David vs. Goliath, with Akiyama throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Nakanishi, and Nishi no selling it all and bludgeoning Akiyama half to death. For awhile this almost appeared to be a squash match by Nishi, including him kicking out of Akiyama’s finisher at 1, but towards the end, Akiyama got fired up and it became much more competitive.

I’m not gonna lie. I didn’t get into this match. It was a good match, and maybe someone more invested in either guy would have seen something special here, but it just didn’t pop out at me, though to be honest, I’m not sure what could have followed that last match.

78 out of 100


Vice: Another good, stiff match right here. It played out a bit like a David vs. Goliath match, and I often enjoy those.

It was just two hard Japanese fucks beating the shit out of each other. I don’t see what’s not to like about that.

Jun Akiyama over Manabu Nakanishi with the EXPLODER! Suplex.

Segment 8 - IWGP Tag Team Title - Hardcore Rules: Togi Makabe and Toru Yano (c) vs. Team 3D (They’re Fat In Three Dimensions) (TNA)

Cewsh: This match originally had another team in it, but when Kojima went down with an injury, it became a regular hardcore tag match, which is kind of a problem, since Team 3D have never lost in Japan, and I’m pretty sure they’re never going to. To learn further, consult Defrost’s rantings.

Yeah, this match is almost a half hour long, and is simply godawful. Team 3D are perfectly capable, over, and against the right team can produce something special to this day. Makabe and Yano are not that team. They could never be that team. They fucking suck. No two ways about it. I’m the guy who is optimistic and enthusiastic and complements everybody, but for fuck’s sake. I’ve seen 10 or so of their matches, and not one has been even remotely watchable.

So yeah. This is a half hour shit break. Sushi break? Indeed.

13 out of 100


Vice: Fucking terrible. Quite possibly the worst match I’ve seen since Rhino’s latest match. Yeah, it was that bad. Nothing clicked. Or worked. Or anything. It was just dreadful. It’s almost worth a download just to experience how goddamn bad it was. Oi.

That sums up the match pretty well.

Team 3D over Yano and Makabe with the 3D.

Post Match:

Vice: Bubba’s post-match promo was kind of cool though. And it’s also cool that they won another set of titles, adding to their already massive collection. What a horrible fucking match though.

Segment 9 - New Japan vs. NOAH Battle Tendencies: Shinsuke (King of the World) Nakamura and Hirooki (King of Mean Looking Bastards) Goto vs. Mitsuharu (King of the Retirement Home) Misawa (NOAH) and Takashi (King of Greece) Sugiura (NOAH)

Vice: I just wasn’t feeling this match for the majority of it. It was there and it was staring at me, but I just didn’t reaaaally care that much. So I only gave it half my attention. But towards the end it picked up a TON and was pretty fucking outstanding, and I definitely paid attention to it then. So all in all, I’m not sure what to say about this. Take Cewsh’s word for it, whatever he says.


Cewsh: Wow. Mitsuharu Misawa in a New Japan ring. I’m not exaggerating when I say that this is one of those things I never thought I’d see happen. AJPW’s biggest star at its peak, and the founder of NJPW’s chief competition, in a NJPW ring. It’s an incredible moment, and the crowd is every bit as appreciative of such a moment as you’d expect from them. Now here’s the only problem.

Misawa can’t work anymore.

He’s not awful, don’t get me wrong, but age and injuries have made him a shell of his former self. He looks like hell and he’s completely sluggish moving around the ring. I’d say that he should just retire but he’s still basically carrying NOAH on his back. Unfortunate.

Anyway, this match is completely enjoyable as Nakamura, who is basically the firey top babyface of NJPW, does the whole “defend your promotion’s honor” thing, and gets beaten about by Misawa. This is basically a singles match between Misawa and Nakamura, and the fans certainly see it that way, but the other two definitely hold up their end, and what you have is a very enjoyable match, which, like some other matches tonight, is more about what the match means than the match itself.

Anyway, this match had a purpose, it served it, and it made Nakamura look like a gigantic star. Great stuff.

81 out of 100

Cewsh's Seal of Approval

Nakamura and Goto over Misawa and Suguira.

Segment 10 - IWGP Heavyweight Title: Keiji (The Great One) Mutoh (c) (AJPW) vs. Hiroshi (Warning: May Rock Your Face Off) Tanahashi

Cewsh: First and foremost, the video package before this match, and entrances haveme incredibly, incredibly hyped for this match, even though I have no idea what they’re saying. Japan just plain gets match hype for big time main events right. This match feels like the fight of the century, which is good, because to be the main event of this show is an astonishing honor.

The crowd is hot right off the bat for this one, and the atmosphere is electric as the best of the old and the best of the new get ready to square off. I know I must be coming off as a bit of a mark for this whole show, and that’s fair, but watching this, you can’t help but think that it feels like a big, big deal. Tanahashi, and his pretty hair, has been a favorite of mine, but I haven’t ever really seen him put on a truly top notch match. I’m hoping for good things here though from him and old baldy McMist.

The match starts off slow, with some chain wrestling, and working of body parts, basic, solid psychology. As the match works on though, the crowd get louder and louder, and the back and forth is intense. They both have injured limbs, but since the majority of both of their offense is high flying and kicks, they both spend a great deal of time inflicting pain on themselves. Make no mistake, these guys clearly know what goes into having a great epic title match, because this is every bit the main event match it would have to be to be worthy of a show of this magnitude.

So yes. This match brought the greatness. This match was fast paced, high tempo, and it featured the one thing people often complain is lacking in Japanese wrestling: some great selling. Towards the end Tanahashi starts aping Mutoh’s moves, trying to beat the wily vet at his own game to prove that he’s the better man. Think Jericho verses Michaels. After that, it’s all a race downhill to the end, which is crazy and launches the fans into a frenzy. Truly incredible to watch. Incredible, incredible, incredible. I can’t say enough for this. I didn’t think the main event could possibly live up to the show, but it not only lived up to it, it trumped the damn show. And as the dust settles we are left with the image of one man as the new king of Japanese wrestling. Truly stunning.

Early on this night we had the first match ever to break 90 in Cewsh’s Reviews. Now we have the second.

93 out of 100

Cewsh's Seal of Approval


Vice: Seeing as this is the first wrestling of 2009 I’ve watched, and this was the best match of the show, it’s my match of the year so far. Not saying much, really, but whatever. Fucking amazing match. The video package was pretty amazing despite not being able to understand Japanese. The match was exciting and awesome with some great storytelling and action.

Tanahashi’s win was fabulous. So ridiculously over. Everything post-match was just epic and I couldn’t help but smile throughout the entire ceremony of sort. And I barely know the guy. That’s how good it was.

You guys probably think that Edge and I are super serious when doing these reviews, but this is a behind-the-scenes look at what really goes on, using this match as an example…

Envious Vice: He's so pretty.

DashboardFonz: I know. I don't know if i'm jealous or have a crush.

Envious Vice: Little bit of both, I'd imagine.

DashboardFonz: I can live with that.

DashboardFonz: Him and Marufuji.

Envious Vice: Yep.

DashboardFonz: Ahahaha, Tanahashi's ass says Power Production.

Envious Vice: Ahahhaha.

Envious Vice: Looking closely, were you?

DashboardFonz: NO.

Envious Vice: It's alright.

DashboardFonz: Yes.

DashboardFonz: Christ, Tanahashi is built like an action figure.

DashboardFonz: He's like entirely too perfectly proportioned.

Envious Vice: I was just about to comment on that.

Envious Vice: It's far too perfect.

Envious Vice: And he's not all veiny and shit.

DashboardFonz: Seriously. That has to be genetics at work. You can't work muscles that specifically.

Envious Vice: And his HAIR.

DashboardFonz: And it NEVER MOVES AN INCH.

Envious Vice: He's seriously some dude straight from a Final Fantasy game brought to life and put in wrestling tights.

DashboardFonz: I couldn't agree more.

DashboardFonz: And its fucking fantastic.

Envious Vice: He doesn't even sweat for god sake.

DashboardFonz: PERFECTION.

Envious Vice: If he ever dies, I hope they do an autopsy to see if he was actually human.

DashboardFonz: Hmm.

Envious Vice: They'll probably cut him open and a green orb of energy will come out and float into the sky.

Envious Vice: Or he'll just vaporize like Kadaj in Advent Children.

DashboardFonz: Or he'll morph.

DashboardFonz: Into KOBASHI.

Envious Vice: Or a dolphin.

DashboardFonz: Oooh. Pretty dolphin.

Envious Vice: A dolphin with awesome hair.

Envious Vice: A flying dolphin with awesome hair.

DashboardFonz: Dude.

DashboardFonz: Now I want to kill him to set Flipper free.

DashboardFonz: This is really something special right here.

Envious Vice: He's so dreamy.

Envious Vice: The belt goes with his abs.

DashboardFonz: His abs are melding around it.

Envious Vice: Actually, he should lose the belt so we can see more of his abs.

DashboardFonz: Ahahaha, I completely agree. The belt is actually less impressive.

Envious Vice: TAKE IT OFF.

The torch has been passed.

Long live the new King of Japan. Hiroshi Tanahashi.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cewsh's Catholics:

Cewsh: Wow. On paper this was basically a three match show, with Tanahashi/Muto, Tanaka/Nagata, and Ki/Mask definitely being a severe cut above the others, but this isn’t a show that can really be judged on paper. The production team did a phenomenal job, every single match had a great deal of meaning, and the matches that were great were simply off the charts. I know a lot of people think that Japanese matches are overrated, but quite frankly this is as big a show as could possibly be made without WWE’s involvement, and will very likely trump Wrestlemania this year.

Cewsh's Final Score: 70.3 out of 100.

Vice's Vase:

Vice: It started off a bit slow and had a clunker of a match or two, but it also featured some spectacular wrestling that’s very different from WWE’s style. It’s definitely worth checking out, or at least a few matches. If you’ve never seen Puro, this is a good chance to see what it’s all about. It has some familiar faces and some new guys that will blow you away. If you’re a fan of Puro and haven’t seen it.. what the fuck is your problem?

Very enjoyable show.




Thanks for reading cats and kittens, and believe me, the bar has been set for all of our future reviews. The 90 barrier has been broken, not once but twice. Who’s going to step up to steal the top spot for Tanahashi/Muto? You’ll just have to tune in next time to find out. Next Monday we’ll be reviewing TNA’s Genesis PPV, and then on January the 26th we will welcome back Ms. Cewsh to the Cewsh Reviews…team, as we review WWE’s Royal Rumble. Until then, stay safe out there, and watch some goddamn wrestling.

We'll leave you with these images, of the best show we have ever reviewed to this point.
