Main event of the first show of the year for BJW. Great big man strong style fight. Shuji Ishikawa was the MVP of Japanese indys last year and he started the year off with a great tag match. Sekimoto's head took a beating the whole match and finally popped and was left bleeding like a stuck pig at the end of the match. Above all else this match shows that if you just want to watch a good fight BJW is the place to go. This is definitely a must watch if your into strong style fights.

This was the usual "Strong BJ" deal - meaning, do a few basic filler holds at the beginning, then hit eachother a whole bunch back and forth, maybe thrown in a crowd pleasing spot like the double torture rack or two, then do a few nearfalls and call it a day. Not much storytelling or selling whatsoever. It's not horrible, but it's beyond played out at this point. Also, the whole "stand there and ask the other guy to hit you" always detracts from the match feeling like a fight.
