Pro Wrestling NOAH brings us the third day of N-1 Victory action! Headlined by the veteran battle of Naomichi Marufuji vs Takashi Sugiura! Will that steal the show?

Aside from the huge main event, it should be interesting how the first two matches go. A collective 0-3-1 implies that the first two matches are quite important. Remember, it’s only a 12 person tournament, so that means 5 matches a piece. Gathering a second loss so early in the tournament could really be game over before it really even starts.

By the way, the show is free for the next 6 days on Abema.tv!

Let’s see what happens!

Ratings:

B Block: Kenoh vs Shuhei Taniguchi: Kenoh wins via Rear Naked Choke @9:40 – *** ½
A Block: Kaito Kiyomiya vs Masa Kitamiya: Kitamiya wins via Saito Suplex @14:32 – *** ½
A Block: Kazushi Sakuraba vs Go Shiozaki: Shiozaki wins via Gowan Lariat @8:35 – *** ¾
B Block: Takashi Sugiura vs Naomichi Marufuji: Time Limit Draw @30:00 – **** ¾

Results:

B Block: Kenoh vs Shuhei Taniguchi

The match starts off rough for Kenoh. Shuhei charges him and knocks him down repeatedly, Kenoh tries to open him up with some kicks, but Shuhei catches a kick, T-Bone Suplex and then a Soccer Ball kick right to the skull sends Kenoh to the outside to rethink his life choices.

Once Kenoh rolls back in, Taniguchi keeps softening up the back with Slams, driving power moves and sits down in the Wyvern Clutch for a good bit of time before Kenoh can get to the ropes. Kenoh continues to try and fight back with kicks, but always getting caught. An attempted PK gets dodged by Shuhei and as Kenoh turns he gets greeted with a Polish Hammer in the chest.

Shuhei charges a beleaguered Kenoh, but he Low Bridges the top rope, bounces to the apron, cartwheels over Shuhei’s strike attempt and then lands an Overhead Kick. Kenoh thought he had something, but again, whenever he tries to strike with Shuhei, it fails. Kenoh goes for a strike exchange, loses since Shuhei has a unique Headbutt to the collarbone way of doing strikes. Another Soccer Ball kick to the head makes things look bleak for Kenoh, but he manages to avoid the Maybach Splash.

As both get to their feet, Kenoh dodges a lariat and looks for the back in desperation. He hooks a body scissors as he rides down Shuhei, then locks in the Sleeper aspect of the Rear Naked Choke, and Shuhei passes out. So again Shuhei loses a match which he was in a comfortable position, losing to a desperate maneuver.

A Block: Kaito Kiyomiya vs Masa Kitamiya

In the battle of I will be referring to both by their first name! We see Kaito needing a win, since his first match was a Time Limit Draw; and Masa also needs the win since he fell to KONGO stablemate Manabu Soya on Day 2.

Both men need the win, and you can tell that from how they decide to wrestle this match. They focus knees, arms, just hunting for different body parts to try to take apart, while Masa demonstrates his power. Early on he torques Kaito’s ankles and knee, but Kaito turns the tables nicely. A few well-placed strikes, give us a well shot moment when Masa tries to shoot Kaito into the corner, but his knee gives out and it looks car crashy, but sells the injury as legit.

Masa starts fighting his leg and Kaito, as Kaito tries to employ some ankle holds of his own. When Kaito goes for the Tiger Suplex, we see Masa turn the tables with some strikes and then a Saito Suplex. Kaito kicks out after the first, which fires up Masa. He bounces off the ropes to hit a spear (making sure to nearly skip as he sells the knee along with an adrenaline surge). Then there’s a spot where both trade cradle attempts, but Masa holds on, floats over and hits 3 Saito Suplexes in a row, to grab himself a win in this tournament!

Masa showed great heart to fight through the injury and overcome the Emerald Prodigy.

A Block: Kazushi Sakuraba vs Go Shiozaki

Sakuraba definitely proves his 200 IQ veteran status with how he starts the match. Slowly measuring Go with some leg kicks, and when Go smothers him into the corner, there is a cheeky chop attempt instead of the clean break. To which Sakuraba ducks out of the way and scurries to the other side of the mat looking like he’s trying to avoid a murder.

After a few more kicks, Sakuraba baits Go into catching a kick, which allows for them to both go to the mat, Sakuraba repositions beautiful and hunts for the Cross Armbreaker. Go fights it for a little while before he goes to the ropes, then powders out. But Sakuraba stays on him, showing a bit of a vicious side as he laces Go’s arm in the guardrail and starts wrenching on it.

In a very clever wrinkle of storytelling, Sakuraba allows Go back in, continues the low kicks and dodges the chop. But he stops himself and does the old “You know what, Chop me”. Go chops, but it’s ineffective since it’s the arm Sakuraba was working over. Nice element to show it’s useless at the moment.

The first spot is after Sakuraba absorbs another chop and toys with the champion a little, Go catches the leg, bring his banged up elbow down on the knee, sells the pain, and then unleashes a hellacious chop which sends Sakuraba retreating to the corner, as Go goes down to a knee clutching his still damaged arm. But the adrenaline flows, seeing the damage he did to Sakuraba gives him motivation, and he goes to the Machine Gun chop spot, looking like the chop hurts him…ALMOST…as much as Sakuraba.

Go attempts either a Brainbuster or Go Flasher a few times before Sakuraba fights off, hits a German Suplex and then starts dropping knees into Go’s ribs. Then floats over beautifully for an Armbar, which he transitions to a Russian Armbar, but Go keeps rolling and manages to end up in the ropes. Go fights off the Sakuraba Lock attempt with a Brainbuster.

Relentless with the Lariats, Go rocks Sakuraba. Sakuraba does catch one Lariat and goes for a Sakuraba Lock, but Go uses his free arm to club Sakuraba away, then does one armed Go Hammers, followed by a Gowan Lariat for the win.

With how banged up Go is, it’s hard to think he’ll get many more wins, but damn was this nice psychology, selling and a logical finish.

B Block: Takashi Sugiura vs Naomichi Marufuji

We see these two start with early mat grappling work, neither can seem to get a hold or find an opening to float over. So it’s a tempered start, but has a pretty epic feel. The chess game continues for a while after that, with Arm Wringers, then an escape, ducking lariats, escapes, pushing to the ropes, a cheap shot, but then a stalemate.

Marufuji is the first to break the stalemate and immediately starts working on the arm. Kicks, twists, Double Wristlocks, driving Sugiura shoulder first into the turnbuckle. It’s all deliberate to set up either for the Perfect Key Lock, or True Tiger King, since that uses a Hammerlock set up. They roll to the outside and Marufuji continues to focus the arm, but Sugiura finally gets some space to break after a big Apron Neckbreaker.

Once Marufuji beats the count, we see this as the portion of the match where Sugiura takes over a bit. Marufuji tries to fight back with strikes, but Sugiura wins the power game and just leans on Marufuji. Taking him to the corner and just choking the breath from him with his feet. Marufuji manages to find some space after ducking a lariat, grabbing the arm, KO-OH’s the arm and then sending Sugiura to the outside with a Dropkick.

After this point it becomes a hell of a tradeoff. Neither man can seem to get much going before the other slips a hold, or has a counter. Sugiura hits a huge Superplex and German Suplex, but Marufuji finds the resolve to flip out of one and send them to the apron. Sugiura tries to grab Marufuji, but Marufuji does an Armbreaker over his shoulder, and hits the signature Apron Piledriver. When Sugiura crawls back in, Marufuji pulls the Springboard Curb Stomp out of the playbook, but only for 2!

Marufuji tries the Shiranui, Sugiura counters it by draping him Tree of Woe style, and running a big Kitchen Sink style knee into the hanging body. Marufuji proceeds to eat a dozen or so elbow strikes from Sugiura, and he rises up from the corner, as Sugiura keeps peppering him. A small hesitation gives Marufuji the chance to land a low KO-OH to the stomach, followed by a Shiranui, but also, ONLY 2!

Both men start realizing the match is going long, so they might be approaching Time. We see Marufuji go for a few Hook Kicks, but Sugiura eats em, then just tosses Marufuji. Two Running Knee Lifts, and an Olympic Slam, but Marufuji kicks out. Sugiura takes him to the ropes for an Avalanche Olympic Slam, but gets an Avalanche Shiranui instead! A slow cover means no pinfall, so Marufuji hits the Cobra Clutch KO-OH and then True Tiger King…BUT SUGIURA KICKS OUT! Marufuji looks to be aiming for the Fisherman Flowsion, but Sugiura catches him with the Front Neck Lock.

The Front Neck Lock, wrestles him down, and Marufuji is in the hold for at least 30 seconds…but the Time Limit bell rings!

There’s a show of respect afterwards between the two veterans, and Marufuji motions for another 1 on 1 match. Tremendous match to cap off a really damn good day!

Overall Score: 8.5/10

Now I’m pretty sure I enjoyed the Sakuraba match more than most people, but I love simple wrestling when it boils down. A little facial selling, attacking a body part and an easy story of fighting through the damage is gorgeous in its simplicity. Kenoh is going to have a lot of trouble trying to repeat winning if he keeps absorbing so much offense and Kaito…well, this has been his story this year. I’m happy for Kitamiya, since he tends to get overshadowed and not get solid wins like this. Kaito is still growing, and this is perfect.

Marufuji and Sugiura is the match of any tournament I’ve watched these last few weeks. These guys are two old veterans with a lot of history together and in NOAH. They put on a clinic with great pacing, tug of war offense and just really great to stay invested for the full 30 minutes.

This also adds a wrinkle for Sugiura, since he was pacing the tournament; but now even though he still has the most points, only getting 5 of a possible 6 could bite him.

A Block:

Go Shiozaki: (2-0) – 4 Points
Manabu Soya: (1-1) – 2 Points
Kazushi Sakuraba: (1-1) – 2 Points
Masa Kitamiya: (1-1) – 2 Points
Kaito Kiyomiya: (0-1-1) – 1 Point
Masaaki Mochizuki: (0-1-1) – 1 Point

B Block:

Takashi Sugiura: (2-0-1) – 5 Points
Naomichi Marufuji: (1-0-1) – 3 Points
Katsuhiko Nakajima: (1-0) – 2 Points
Kenoh: (1-1) – 2 Points
Yoshiki Inamura: (0-2) – 0 Points
Shuhei Taniguchi: (0-2) – 0 Points

Andrew Balaz

Well this is the first episode with the new regime, and I’m not looking forward to it. I’m expecting a car crash, because Delirious is worthless, Dreamer is hit or miss at the best, and no one else has a proven track record at having a brain. So I expect pure garbage.

Let’s see if I get surprised!

.@MeanGiaMiller caught up with TNA Knockouts Champion @mashaslamovich, @XiaBrookside, and @TheLeiYingLee ahead of TONIGHT’s massive main event against Tessa Blanchard, #WWENXT’s @jacyjaynewwe, and Jazmyn Nyx!

Ratings:

#1 Contender Match: Elijah vs Frankie Kazarian: Kaz wins via Cradle – N/A
Spitfire vs Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend: Jakara wins via M-KO – ** 1/2
Hardy Boyz vs Great Hands w/Tasha Steelz: Jeff wins via Swanton Bomb – ** 1/4
Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx w/Fallon Henley vs Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside & Masha Slamovich: Tessa wins via Buzzsaw DDT – ***

Results:

We lead off with Joe Hendry music because he’s on commentary during the Elijah versus Kaz match.

#1 Contender Match: Elijah vs Frankie Kazarian

We start off with Kaz sticking and moving to dodge Elijah, but he eventually catches him and goes to the Rope Walk quickly and pulls it off. Elijah tries to go into a Piledriver or something but Kaz slips it and pulls down Elijah with the slip. They go to the outside, Kaz throws Elijah into the post, then slaps Hendry, shoving match starts, Kaz charges and Hendry lifts but Kaz slips out the back and shoves Hendry into Elijah…the ref lets it slide. So Kaz throws in Elijah and a quick cradle gives Kaz the opportunistic win.

Post Match Hendry just goes crazy on Kaz, security pull apart spot, even Elijah pulls off Hendry and calms him down. Elijah playing the long game, not even arguing that Hendry cost him. The match didn’t have enough substance to rate, it was purely a plot device and a little convoluted.

Backstage segment of Hendry with the Doctor, Hendry apparently messed up his shoulder in the scuffle…so…that’s something.

System Ultimatum time is next. The crowd is booing the hell out of Eddie, and it’s a real reaction not go away heat or anything, Eddie plays in it well enough. Lish leads the way and wants to do the Planteer pose, but the rest just walk past her and she seems annoyed, while these others seem somber. This was going the way we expected with everyone sticking around. We finally get to Moose and doofus Deaner’s music hits. Deaner tries to get the crowd to rally around Moose resigning from The System. Moose says the People are right, but then beats the hell out of Deaner. They do the Planeteer pose over the corpse of Deaner. Hopefully we never see that dork again, just let him go be a jobber in Maple Leaf Pro.

Spitfire vs Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend

Jakara starts with Dani, a quick tie up, but Jakara strikes out of it, Arm Drag sends Dani flying, but Dani stops Jakara’s next attempts at offense, tags in Jody and a tandem moment rocks Jakara. Jody tags back out and Lash tags in, so it’s power and booty versus power and booty. Shoulder Tackle spot and Lash gets the best of it, Dani holds on to the ropes to stop the Whip recoil, Jody with the blind tag, they try to team up but Lash fights out of both. Jody goes Spider Monkey and tries to choke out Lash but Lash just walks her back to Jakara and tags out. Jakara is rolling until Jody holds the ropes and watches Jakara crash and burn on a Dropkick. Probably the best I’ve seen that spot in a long time. Dani tags in, they try the Scoop Slam tandem attack on Jakara, but Jakara moves and Dani just slams Jody into the mat.

Lash gets tagged in and starts to maul Dani. A little rotating offense keeping Dani isolated. Dani tries to find an opening but she’s eating move after move, they go for the Tandem Wheelbarrow Slam, but Dani gets the knees up. Dani finally gets a chance to tag out, Jody starts working over both Lash and Jakara. Stacks them in the corner to do her 10 Count Lariats, Exploder Suplex into rope hung Double Knees. Jody wants the German but Lash tries to stop it. Jody fights off Lash, manages a Stalling Jackhammer on Jakara, but Lash does manage to break up the pin. All four are in the ring, Dani gets tosses, Straight Right from Lash clocks Jody. Jakara flies to wipe out Dani, they look for the M-KO but Jody fights it off. Jody throwing Chops on both, it starts to look stupid, Jody tries to fire and Lash wants to clock her with the Forearm during the stall but hits Jakara.

Crossbody from Jody, Lash catches her, M-KO. Meta Girls win.

Oh great more talking, now the Hardyz are out to talk and Matt gives a decent but basic promo that goes into a bit of Broken just for the cheap pop. Jeff pokes fun at the “best brother tag team” joke from last week. If they weren’t The Hardyz the crowd wouldn’t care. Oh speaking of not caring, the Great Hands and snackalicious Tasha Steelz interrupt. Great Hands want to fight, Hardyz are okay with it of course, then Santino comes out. He says after the commercial Great Hams vs Hard Boys is on!

Hardy Boyz vs Great Hands w/Tasha Steelz

Hotch is getting worked over by both Hardys, a little classic tandem offense, an early pinfall, but Hotch claws the eyes and tags in Skyler. Skyler’s advantage last like 12 seconds, he tags Jeff, Rocket Launcher into the middle rope with a Leg Drop from Jeff. Jeff tries to Whisper in the Wind in the opposition corner like a dumbass, so Hotch crotches him, the Hands do the double crotch stomp as Jeff is in the Tree of Woe. Assisted offense, they try to perch Jeff, but Jeff fights them off and pulls off the best Whisper in a minute. Matt gets the hot tag, Scoop Slams, Delete Headsmashes, and a Side Effect on Hotch for fun. Matt wants the Twist on Skyler, Skyler counters, Jeff tags in, Poetry in Motion, Side Effect on Skyler and only a near fall.

Twist of Hate attempt, Hotch breaks it up, Matt takes out Hotch, Skyler almost pulls off the Flash upset with the Cradle. Plot Twist, Swanton, and Jeff wins.

Ryan Nemeth is in the back watching the match, has a few snarky things to say while wearing an LA Sparks jersey, Leon Slater and his lack of charisma in Birmingham accent shows up. Hates the WNBA obviously since he tries to push Ryan out of camera frame, and then they’ll prolly have a match at some point. At least Ryan has a gimmick that’s been amusing, but God is Leon Slater useless.

THEY HAVE AN INJURY REPORT SEGMENT – that’s soo damn corny. Never do this again, this is dumb as hell.

Oh great, more talking…SDL and Mance Warner. Where’s Keenan when I need someone to scream “WHY!?!”

This promo is complete shit, they even invent a bad magazine called TNA Weekly for this dumb thing. I hate this, and not in the “I wanna see them get beat up good heel work way”, I hate them because they’re useless, uninteresting and just saying dumb crap. When Santino comes out and effectively calls them stupid and cringe…that’s kind of a problem when the comedy character calls you dumb. THEY ARE REBRANDING THE BELT AGAIN! International Championship…ugh. Sami comes out to beat up Mance while Santino tries to wrestle the belt away from Steph. This is just cringe.

.@MustafaAli_X unleashed a vicious verbal assault on Derek, dragging his past addiction into the spotlight—making his war with @Santana_Proud even more personal.

Mustafa Ali is doing great work. I’m a little mad this promo was buried in this awful episode.

Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx w/Fallon Henley vs Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside & Masha Slamovich

Tessa and Masha start, Masha shoots the half, rains down fists, Tessa kicks her off but Masha keeps up the aggression and forces Tessa to powder. Fatal Influence tries to come in, Xia and Lei dispatch them, Dual Baseball Slide take out the NXT girls, and a Middle Rope Plancha from Masha takes out Tessa as we go to commercial.

Back from commercial Lei Ying has Jacy in a grounded Arm Bar. A little hair pull makes Lei stand up, but she drops Jacy flat after a Round Kick, Low Sweep and then a Running Knee as she’s getting back up. A corner Down Strike has Lei rolling, but a blind tag from Jazmyn catches Lei by surprise and then she gets trapped in the heel corner. The Fatal Influence gals rotate in and out, all 3 take cheap shots, PK into a Senton for a near fall. Lei finally fights off the onslaught and gets Xia in. Xia is very fiery and angry, and now Jazmyn is getting her ass beat. Rosemary is in the audience to distract Xia a little but Xia still connects with Broken Wings and a near fall. Xia gets tripped up on the apron, Jacy gets tagged in and a PK drops Xia on the outside. Hard Irish Whip back in the ring and Cannonball from Jacy has Xia down and out. Jazmyn tags back in, and Xia tries to fire up, Monkey Flip but pulled away by Jacy, Xia tags out, Masha takes out both Fatal Influence members, goes for a pinfall but Tessa runs in with a head of steam to break the pinfall. All six are in for Signature spam spot. Spinning Heel kick from Masha, Fallon distracts on the outside, and Tessa takes advantage of all the chaos, Buzzsaw DDT and Tessa gets the pinfall victory.

Ethan Page interrupts Kaz’s promo at the end of the show. Claiming he should have the title shot since he pinned Joe in NXT. So the Rebellion match is Ethan Page versus Joe Hendry.

Overall Score: 1/10

The one point is for Mustafa’s promo and the main even being decent. But this was awful. Too much talking, an “Injury Report” like this is a real situation and not scripted, which is insulting, and YET AGAIN, a new name for the lower card title. Jesus Christ, stop renaming the damn belt. Legends/TV/King of the Mountain/Grand/Digital Media/International… just stop it. Stick to a name or stop doing a lower card belt. Also really lame that they keep trying to push Cardona as something important.

Kaz and Elijah’s thing is a stupid angle, The System firing was a giant cock tease and who the hell gives Eddie the power to call everyone to task? Mance and SDL are the worst thing on this show after Deaner’s existence. SDL has been a plague on TNA programming since wasting time with her “needs neck surgery” promo instead of a match. I do truly feel bad for Mustafa Ali’s promo being stuck on this pile of crap.

This was an episode that should’ve been an e-mail. Garbage effort, garbage stories, just straight up a waste of two hours. Even with the Ethan Page appearance, this episode was still worthless. Is it sad to say, I expected nothing and am still disappointed by this episode? Ugh… LOLTNA…

Sammy puts Karter against ropes and CHOPS! Sammy whips, hurdles, backflips over, then DROPKICKS Karter down! Sammy kips up so smooth and the fans cheer. Vance gets on the apron, Sammy takes a swing! Vance gets away, Karter runs up, but Sammy BOOTS him away! Griff HOTSHOTS Sammy, and Karter LARIATS Sammy down! Karter goes up to soak up heat, then he stomps away on Sammy. Karter drags Sammy up, bumps him off buckles, and he tags Griff. They mug Sammy, the ref counts, and Griff taunts Dustin. This lets Jameson & Vance CHOKE Sammy! Karter even digs his boot in!

The fans boo but The Frat House gets away with that. Griff stands on Sammy, then steps off at 4. The ref has to keep Dustin back, Jameson gets another cheap shot in.

The fans fire up, Griff runs at Sammy but Sammy puts him in the corner! Sammy RAMS into Griff, goes outside to ENZIGIRI, and Griff staggers. Sammy aims from the apron and the fans fire up. But Jameson & Vance are there, so Sammy ARIHARA MOONSAULTS them down! The fans fire up, Griff runs up, but Sammy ROCKS Griff first! Sammy springboards, FLYING CUTTER! Dustin CHOPS Karter, and spreads him open in the corner! The fans fire up! Vance protests, the ref stops him, SHATTERED DREAMS for Karter! Griff is furious, eh runs up, but Dustin drop toeholds Griff into the corner!

Vance & Jameson say fine, but then Dustin hits Griff with FINAL RECKONING! Tag to Sammy and he goes up for the SWANTON BOMB! Cover, Sons of Texas win!

Winners: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara, by pinfall (deny The Frat House a title opportunity)

Uno & Reynolds shrug, but they got their payback all the same. Dustin & Sammy hold up the belts and they point to the All In sign in the rafters. Will the Sons of Texas get to go All In in Texas?

The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling VS The Outrunners!

Speaking of last week, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari are feeling good after they won, but it was largely in part thanks to The Dark Order. “Smart” Mark has the mic to stop Bobby Cruise, he takes care of this.
