NJPW's Dallas Debut Delivers Thrills and Spills!
American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas, USA - July 6, 2019
Last night, New Japan Pro Wrestling made its highly anticipated debut in the Lone Star State, bringing with it a stacked card that left the sold-out crowd of 4,846 at the American Airlines Center thoroughly entertained. As Zohash.com's man on the ground, I was there to witness the action firsthand and bring you all the juicy details.
Tag Team Tussles
The evening kicked off with a pair of tag team matches, each showcasing some of NJPW's finest tandems. Guerrillas Of Destiny (Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa) emerged victorious in their opener against Roppongi 3K (SHO and YOH), while Jeff Cobb and Ren Narita outlasted Shota Umino and Tomohiro Ishii.
CHAOS Reigns Supreme
In the second tag team bout, CHAOS (Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI) proved too much for BULLET CLUB's Chase Owens and Jay White, securing a dominant win in an impressive 8:38. This one had 'match of the night' written all over it.
Six-Man Mayhem
The six-man tag team match that followed was absolute chaos - in the best possible way! Juice Robinson, Jushin Thunder Liger, and Toru Yano joined forces to take on Los Ingobernables de Japon (BUSHI, Shingo Takagi, and Tetsuya Naito). The result? A thrilling 8:18 affair that left fans on the edge of their seats.
G1 Climax Showdowns
The main event portion of the card saw some of NJPW's biggest names face off in the G1 Climax 2019. Lance Archer bested Will Ospreay in a hard-hitting 18:16 bout, while Bad Luck Fale emerged victorious over EVIL in an intense 11:33 match.
KENTA and Kota Ibushi engaged in a war of attrition that saw KENTA ultimately emerge on top in a grueling 20:51 encounter. SANADA proved his mettle by defeating Zack Sabre Jr. in a strong 21:12 contest, while Kazuchika Okada outlasted Hiroshi Tanahashi in the evening's penultimate match.
The Main Event
And then, there was Kazuchika Okada vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi - a G1 Climax showdown for the ages! These two legends clashed in an absolute barnburner that clocked in at 22:04. In the end, it was Okada's cunning and athleticism that earned him the win.
The Verdict
Last night's NJPW card in Dallas was nothing short of spectacular. With a mix of exciting tag team matches, thrilling G1 Climax showdowns, and some truly memorable moments, this show had something for everyone. Zohash.com gives it two thumbs up - if you were there, you know what I'm talking about!
