First World Tag League, and now the entire Heavyweight Tag Division! Tama and Loa are truly the GOD of NJPW Heavyweight Tag Team wrestling! “We told you! By any means necessary!” Now they’re SEVEN-TIME champions! Will 2021 become the Year of Guerrilla?

 

NJPW hears from JON MOXLEY!

The Death Rider has a message from NJPW Studios in America! “Many men have vied for that US title contract. They all thought they were gonna get off easy. They all hoped and prayed that the United States Champion would never return. But I am the Bogeyman, and NJPW, I will get you eventually. So whoever walks out of the Tokyo Dome with that contract, make no mistake about it. I’m coming for ya.” Have the stakes just been raised on the next match?

Ibushi drags Naito up from the apron and waistlocks, for the DEAD LIFT- No, Naito fights out with uppercuts! Naito throws more uppercuts until Ibushi is stuck up top, then he clubs away with forearms! Naito hurries inside, and CLUBS Ibushi from behind. Naito climbs up and brings Ibushi into a SUPER POISON RANA!! Cover, TWO!?!

The fans are thunderous as both men are down again! Naito aims from a corner as Ibushi flounders up. Ibushi looks for Naito, but Naito runs in, into a ROUNDHOUSE! BUZZSAW! Ibushi fires up and brings Naito up by the wrists. Naito avoids Kami-Goye to tilt-o-whirl, DESTINO!! Cover, TWO!?!? Ibushi survives but Naito won’t let that deter him. Naito drags Ibushi up, wrenches and tilt-o-whirls, but into Ibushi’s BASTARD DRIVER!! Ibushi can’t hold the cover and fans are fired up as both men are down! Fans rally with “NA-I-TO!” “I-BU-SHI!” as the two slowly sit up. Naito heads for a corner but Ibushi grits his teeth as he follows.

Ibushi sits Naito up to throw a forearm, but Naito gives it back! Ibushi forearms again, and eggs Naito on. Naito forearms Ibushi, and Ibushi gives it back. Ibushi smirks and Naito forearms again! The two are starting to enjoy this, and they stand as they keep giving forearms back and forth! Ibushi forearms, Naito forearms, repeat! They pick up speed, fans rally behind them, then Ibushi gets the edge! Naito SLAPS Ibushi, then ROLLING KICKS! But Ibushi LARIATS in return! Ibushi drags Naito up, reels him in, but Naito fights, only for Ibushi to still LAST RIDE! KAMI-GOYE!! Cover, TWO?!!? Ibushi is stunned but the fans are loving it!

Ibushi drags Naito around to a drop zone and he goes up top! Ibushi PHOENIX SPLASHES, but FLOPS as Naito moves! DESTINO!! Cover, TWO?!?!?! That was 2.99!! Both men are down but the fans are thunderous again! Naito grabs Ibushi’s wrist, brings him up, wrenches again but Ibushi goes to gut wrench! Naito fights that off so Ibushi throws elbows. Naito throws elbows, suplexes, but Ibushi slips out to ROUNDHOUSE! Ibushi sits Naito up, has the wrists, KAMI-GOYE!!! Cover, TWO!?!?!? More like 2.999!! Ibushi and Naito have survived each other’s best, but Ibushi isn’t going to give up because of that!

Naito resists the wrist hold, and throws elbows, then an ENZIGURI! Scoop, VALENTIA!! Naito fires up, aims at Ibushi, wrench and tilt-o-whirl- NO! Ibushi blocks the rest, and V-TRIGGERS! KENNY! KAMI-GOYE!!!! Cover, Ibushi wins!!!!

Winner: Kota Ibushi, by pinfall (NEW IWGP Heavyweight & Intercontinental Champion)

INCREDIBLE! No, that’s not even enough to say what this was! Ibushi has reached a new level and is now on top of NJPW! Ibushi is in such a daze he isn’t even sure he’s won, he tries to pin Naito again. Red Shoes tells him that he HAS won, and the emotions finally start to pour in! Ibushi manages to get up slowly with the ropes, and the title belts are brought into the ring.

But Naito gets up to grab the belts from Red Shoes first. The former, first and only two-time Double Champion holds onto these belts for one last moment, before he officially hands them over to Ibushi! And he even raises Ibushi’s hand in victory! Fans cheer this amazing display of respect for his rival! When and where will Naito come back for at least one of those titles?

Ibushi looks at the Heavyweight and Intercontinental titles, and fans cheer as he raises them both high over head! But to rain on the parade is Jay White! He grabs a mic to say, “Hey, congratulations, huh? How about a round of applause? Should we get him some ice?” Even though we all know Ibushi isn’t the real champion, Ibushi should enjoy his moment! It’ll only last 24 hours! Tomorrow, White takes the titles and everything from Ibushi! Ibushi say she’ll become a wrestling god? No, White exposes Ibushi as the fraud that he is! “Every time that you are about to reach the heights that you so desperately aim for, I will always, I promise you I will always be there, to pull you back down.”

But tomorrow, Ibushi has a vital role to play in White fulfilling HIS destiny of becoming a wrestling god, aka becoming IWGP Heavyweight & Intercontinental Champion. Tomorrow, Ibushi breathes with the Switchblade forever. White drops the mic and Ibushi applauds what he had to say. White takes his leave, and Ibushi takes his turn with the mic. “Excuse me, Jay… I will not be just a single-day champion. But before I continue, hold on. Naito, thank you very much.” Back to Jay, Ibushi can picture himself “standing victorious in the red corner after the match tomorrow.” Tomorrow, Ibushi ends White.

Ibushi knows times are tough but he thanks the fans for being here. But he is NOT a one and done. He will absolutely defend both titles! He is holding the greatest and strongest titles right now, and he will KEEP them! Does everyone understand? They cheer, as he again says he will never run away, quit or betray the fans. Ibushi will beat White and become a wrestling god! Ibushi again holds the belts up high, then goes up the ramp, to the stage, and lets the pyro fly in celebration! But is this the beginning of Ibushi’s ascension? Or the beginning of the end?


My Thoughts:

This was great stuff and for only the first night! The New Japan “Rambo” was pretty unique in that eliminations could be by throwing opponents out or by pinfall, but clearly it was going to be more by over the ropes. It was hilarious for Yano to be part of the winning four and not even have to do anything. Yano, Fale, Owens and Bushi make for a fun combination, but anyone could be the first Mr. KOPW 2021 at this point. Hiromu VS ELP was a very good match, but considering ELP and Ishimori are both Bullet Club, it just seemed obvious that Hiromu was going to win. I’m surprised NJPW didn’t consider that when putting Super J-Cup together, but perhaps they wanted someone fans in Japan were already familiar with to win and give Hiromu a strong match.

Dangerous Tekkers VS Guerrillas was a really good match, too, and I like that Douki accompanied his Suzuki-Gun teammates. Sucks that he didn’t really cancel Jado out, though. GoD winning makes some sense, as they’ve been a team for longer, and are a bit more united than Tekkers seemed to be by this point. ZSJ had to keep shouting to Taichi to help with coordinated moves, maybe the Tekkers are going to take a break to go back to singles title pursuits. Maybe they go back to feuding with Chaos’ trio to go after the Six Man Tag Championships. I like that we got a message from Moxley, and Kenta retaining the contract just makes sense, as those two could have quite the physical match.

Both grudge matches were great stuff. Tanahashi beats Khan to prove he’s still got it, and similarly so does Okada, but I feel like Ospreay should’ve won this time. I know Okada isn’t on his way out or anything, but The Empire should feel formidable, and that namely means their leader should be the one to watch out for. Ospreay may not be the kind of Heel that cheats, but he should have found some way to sneak that win. Some kind of secret he knows because of how well he knows Okada, or maybe something Okada knows about Ospreay that Ospreay then turns around to surprise Okada. There can still be a lot to the rise of Ospreay’s faction in the coming years, but winning here would’ve already cemented that group in NJPW.

Naito VS Ibushi certainly cemented both men’s legacies in NJPW as far as I can tell. They each gave as good as they got, with maybe just a little bit of reference back to previous match-ups between them. What was most powerful, aside from the false finishes, was Naito wanting to be the one to present the belts to Ibushi. Naito is top tier in NJPW, but he acknowledges on screen that so is Ibushi. Of course, it’s fitting that White has to get his part in this, but I would really think that Ibushi does win out on Night Two. That match will put it beyond shadow of a doubt that Ibushi is deserving of the belts, and that he could be the one to carry out Naito’s plan of defending both belts separately, as opposed to simultaneously. If NJPW wants 2021 to be the feel good year compared to the literal feel horrible year of 2020, Ibushi needs to retain and White needs to get his comeuppance.

My Score: 9.4/10

NXT creates its own ECW style opening video!

Highlights from both past and present generations, will there be some new highlights made here tonight?

 

Hardcore Match, Special Guest Referee Dawn Marie: Lola Vice VS Jaida Parker!

Well, it wouldn’t be right to show up in the ECW Arena and NOT throw away the rulebook! The Mayor of Vice City looks to settle things with Miss Parker in the most brutal way possible! And with an ECW legend laying down the law, will things get really wild tonight?

Jaida doesn’t wait on the bell, she RAMS into Lola! Then she bumps Lola off buckles again and again! Dawn allows it, and Jaida goes out to fetch a chair! Jaida brings that in, now the bell rings, and Lola dodges! URAKEN through the chair! The fans fire up as Jaida bails out. Lola pursues, fires body shots, and the fans fire up more! Lola RAMS Jaida into an apron, then she goes looking for goodies. Lola brings out a TABLE! The fans cheer, but then Jaida SMACKS Lola with a chair! Jaida says no tot he table and the fans don’t like that. Jaida sits a chair up on the apron, and she shoves Lola. Lola stops short, then sends Jaida into the chair!

The fans fire up as Lola drags Jaida up, to snap suplex to the floor! Jaida writhes, and Lola goes back for her table! The fans fire up as Dawn helps measure the space, but then Jaida SMACKS Lola again! Jaida again says no to the table and the fans boo. Jaida puts Lola in the ring, slides some chairs in, and some more chairs in, and then a couple more! Jaida storms in, stomps Lola down, and then she wedges a chair in a corner. Jaida goes back for Lola, but Lola kicks a leg out! Jaida falls onto one of the other chairs! Lola takes that chair, wedges it in a corner, legs out! Jaida runs up, takes a swing, but Lola dodges! Chair hits chair and Jaida is shook!

Lola SOBATS then whips Jaida into that corner chair! The fans fire up as Lola brings Jaida up. The fans duel, and Lola suplexes Jaida onto a chair! And then onto another chair! Lola says THREE AMIGAS on a chair! But Lola isn’t done there, she gives some Latina Heat, for a FULL METAL DDT! Cover, TWO!! Jaida survives but Lola snarls. Lola runs up to TACKLE Jaida out of the ring! The fans fire up as they spill to the floor. Lola and Jaida get up, DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! Dawn checks them both while NXT goes to break.

NXT returns, and there’s been a lot of goodies brought out. Ladders are now in the ring, as are trash cans and kendo sticks. Jaida and Lola each have a ladder and prop them up in corners. Lola’s is standing up, Jaida’s is in the ropes. The fans rally, and Jaida clears some space. “This is Awesome!” as Jaida storms up on Lola. Jaida CLUBS Lola, KNEES her low, then whips her to ropes. Lola leaps, but into a SPINEBUSTER! Jaida says stay down. Jaida drags another ladder into the ring, she stands that up nearby. Jaida then brings Lola up, talks smack on the fans, and she CLUBS Lola. Jaida puts Lola on her ladder in the ropes!

Jaida CLUBS Lola, then brings the third ladder closer. Jaida climbs, the fans fire up, and Jaida takes aim. SUPER TEARDROP breaks the ladder! The fans lose their minds as both Jaida and Lola writhes! Jaida drags Lola to a cover, TWO!! Lola survives and Jaida is losing her cool. Jaida drags Lola up again, suplexes, but Lola slips free to a BACKPACK SLEEPER! Jaida is caught, she leans on the ladder. Jaida drops to the mat, rolls, grabs a rope, but this is a Hardcore match, no ropebreaks! They spill to the floor! Jaida fights up, free of the body scissors, until Lola hops back on! Jaida RAMS Lola into steel steps!

The fans fire up as Jaida puts Lola back in the ring. “Women’s Wrestling!” is shining as Jaida then runs up on Lola! HIPNOTIC! Lola tumbles out of the ring! Jaida pursues again, HIPNOTIC into steel steps and ONLY steps! Lola dodges disaster then puts Jaida in the ring! Cover, TWO!! Jaida stays in this so Lola shoves some stuff aside. Lola puts a trash can over Jaida! ROUONDHOUSE! ROUNDHOUSE! And RHOUNDHOUSE again! Lola fires off, Jaida gets free, so Lola SMACKS her with a kendo stick! Lola puts the can back on Jaida, and the fans fire up. Lola reminds us, “I’m a Latina~!” Then HIP ATTACK into the can!

Lola drags Jaida out of the can to cover her, TWO!! Jaida survives again and Lola seethes. Jaida bails out, walks off the pain, and she goes looking for something. Jaida brings out her own trash can, and CHUCKS it at Lola! Lola falls right over, and Jaida SMACKS her with a kendo stick! And again! And again! Jaida mocks Lola, SMACKS her again, then chases Lola into the ring. Jaida has a chair, but Lola SMACKS first with a kendo stick! And again! And again! Lola grabs herself a chair, but Jaida SMACKS her with a trash can lid! Jaida scoops Lola, then SIDEWALK SLAM on the chair! Lola writhes, but she crawls her way to a corner.

The fans fire up as Jaida takes aim! Jaida runs up, HIPNOTIC into the ladder!! Cover, TWO!! Lola survives and Jaida cannot believe it! Jaida clears space, hauls Lola up to scoop, but Lola slips free! SLEEPER! Lola is again a backpack as Jaida again drops to the mat! Jaida endures, reaches out, but not for ropes! She wants that BRICK! Lola thrashes Jaida, but Jaida still has the BRICK! BRICK IN YO FACE!! Whatcha gonna do with it!? The fans lose their minds, and Jaida covers, TWO?!?! Lola shocks everyone! Jaida wonders what she has to do to end this. Jaida builds speed, TOP GEAR HIPNOTIC! Cover, Jaida wins!

Winner: Jaida Parker, by pinfall

Miss Parker knew to #MakeItCount, and going full speed did the trick! Will she just keep building speed until she runs over the champions of NXT?

 

Ethan Page & Ridge Holland speak.

All Ego & Yorkshire Grit admire the Rocky Balboa statue. Ethan says, “The fighting city of Philadelphia, the birthplace of America. Which I find fitting that an Englishman and a Canadian are here to bring the fight to Trick Williams & Bubba Ray and ruin tonight’s night of nostalgia.” Ridge says Ethan believes he deserves to be NXT Champion, but Ridge needs to be champion. Tonight, they’ll put their differences aside. And Trick, in this city, Stand & Deliver, you soared to the highest of heights. But in the “dump” known as the ECW Arena, Ridge & Ethan will drag you down to the lowest point of your career.

And they also promise that there will be no monuments, no statues, no fairytale endings, and especially no tables. Ethan & Ridge are certainly determined, but will they regret lighting a fire inside Tricky Two-Time and the ECW legend?

 

Kelani Jordan prepares backstage.

And in a very RVD like splits pose, RVD compliments her focus. He is seriously impressed. She has tonight’s big 10 Woman Tag, and then next week’s title rematch. Kelani vows to get that title back, so tonight is a really big deal. RVD says yeah, and if she wants to be a standout, then stand out by pinning Fallon tonight. Great idea! Thanks, RVD. And oh, wasn’t he looking for Ava’s office? Yeah, it’s right down there. Laters. They fist bump and Kelani heads out. But then WES LEE pushes the cameraman down to ATTACK RVD!! Security and refs rush in to stop Wes but Wes says if RVD wanted to do something tonight, Wes just made the decision for him!

Wes leaves and the refs call for medics. Will the heartless Cardiac Kid regret going after this ECW legend? Or will the Young OG make him pay plenty for his bad behavior?

Wes Lee VS Je’Von Evans!
