NJPW Fuji Frenzy: A Night of Thrills and Spills

September 13, 2023 - Fujisan Messe, Fuji, Shizuoka, Japan

The sun may have been shining bright outside the Fujisan Messe, but inside, the action was hotter than a summer day in Tokyo. New Japan Pro Wrestling brought the house down with an electrifying card that left fans on the edge of their seats.

Satoshi Kojima's Singles Success

In the opening bout, Satoshi Kojima got the crowd buzzing as he took down Yuto Nakashima in a hard-hitting singles match. The 20-minute affair saw both competitors trading blows and near-falls, but it was Kojima's experience that ultimately proved too much for the young challenger. The timekeeper's bell rang at 7:40, signaling Kojima's victory.

Ryusuke Taguchi and YOH's Tag Team Triumph

The first tag team match of the night saw Ryusuke Taguchi and YOH partnering up to take on Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Tiger Mask. The Babyface duo's high-flying antics and quick tags kept their opponents at bay, ultimately securing a win in 10:18.

Strong Style and Oleg Boltin's Eight-Man Mayhem

In the first of three multi-man matches, Strong Style and Oleg Boltin teamed up to take on Master Wato, Oskar Leube, Shota Umino, and Yuji Nagata. The chaotic affair saw all eight competitors involved in a wild free-for-all, but it was the unlikely duo of Strong Style and Boltin that emerged victorious, their match clocking in at 10:50.

Be-Op Tag Team's Victory Dance

The Be-Bop Tag Team - comprised of Hiroshi Tanahashi and Toru Yano - put on a showstopping display as they took down Great Bash Heel (Togi Makabe and Tomoaki Honma) in just 7:53. The crowd was electric as the victorious duo celebrated their win.

CHAOS Reigns Supreme

In the first of two eight-man tag team matches, CHAOS - consisting of Hirooki Goto, Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, and YOSHI-HASHI - dominated TMDK (Bad Dude Tito, Mikey Nicholls, Shane Haste, and Zack Sabre Jr.) en route to a 11:38 victory.

Los Ingobernables de Japon's Decisive Win

The main event saw Los Ingobernables de Japon (BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi, Shingo Takagi, Tetsuya Naito, and Yota Tsuji) take on United Empire (Callum Newman, Great-OKhan, HENARE, Jeff Cobb, and Will Ospreay). The 10-man tag team match was a non-stop thrill ride, with all 10 competitors giving it their all. In the end, Los Ingobernables emerged victorious, their time clocking in at 13:22.

House Of Torture's Carnage

In the penultimate match, House Of Torture (Dick Togo, EVIL, SHO, and Yujiro Takahashi) took on Just 5 Guys (DOUKI, SANADA, Taichi, and TAKA Michinoku). The eight-man tag team match was a war zone from start to finish, with all eight competitors involved in a brutal free-for-all. House Of Torture's experience proved too much for their opponents, as they claimed victory in 14:22.
