2/5 NEW JAPAN RESULTS FROM TOKYO

From Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan:

1 - Jado, El Phantasmo and Hikuleo vs. Chase Owens, KENTA and Taiji Ishimori

Owens hits Jado with the Tag Belt.   KENTA rolls up Jado for the pin.

Bullet Club tries to triple team Jado, but ELP and Hikuleo make the save.   Ishimori gets a Sudden Death and a Godsend from G.O.D.

2 - Shota Umino, El Desperado, Tomoaki Honma, YOH and Boltin Oleg vs. Ren Narita, SHO, Yujiro Takahashi, Yoshinobu Kanemaru and EVIL

Umino pins Takahashi after a Death Rider.

Umino takes the mic and tells EVIL that he will take his NEVER Openweight Title.

3 - Hiroshi Tanahashi, Tomohiro Ishii, Togi Makabe and Toru Yano vs. Kosei Fujita, Mikey Nichols, Shane Haste and Zack Sabre Jr.  

ZSJ forces Makabe to tap out to an arm submission.

4 - Great O-Khan, TJP, Francesco Akira, and Callum Newman vs. Alex Coughlin, Clark Conners, Drilla Moloney and David Finlay

United Empire comes out looking for a fight.  War Dogs hit the ring and it becomes a massive brawl.    War Dogs are disqualified.   They call out Will Ospreay as they hang Akira with a dog collar.   They leave United Empire lying in the ring.

Bullet Club War Dogs have been dominating this feud and leave United Empire on their backs for the second night in a row.   They won both the IWGP Global Title and IWGP Jr. Tag Team Titles.   Even if Ospreay and United Empire wins on February 11, War Dogs still keep the titles and Ospreay is gone from New Japan.   This all makes United Empire looks weak as they head into the New Japan Cup in March.

5 - Gauntlet Match:  Los Ingobernales de Japon vs. Just 5 Guys

Two men begin in a normal 10 minute match.   If pinfall or submission occurs, the loser is eliminated.   The winner faces the next opponent until only one man is left.

SANADA and Tetsuya Naito start the match.   Neither gets a pin.   Both are eliminated.   Shingo Takagi and TAKA Michinoku are next.   Takagi taps out TAKA to an STF.

Taichi comes out next.   Both men battle to a 10 minute draw.   Both are eliminated.

BUSHI and DOUKI continue the match.   DOUKI pins BUSHI with a Jorge Rivera Special.

Hiromu Takahashi is out next.   HIromu and DOUKI fight to a time limit draw.

Yota Tsuji and Yuya Uemura are to finish the match.

Tsuji pins Uemura after a Gene Blaster.   

Yota Tsuji wins the match for Los Ingobernale de Japon and earns a big win over his rival in Uemura.

Good match with almost 90 minutes of solid wrestling.   It was confusing, but it was a good concept between two good factions.

After the match, Tsuji challenges Uemura to a hair vs. hair match in their single match in Sapporo on February 24.   Uemura accepts.   Just 5 Guys leave the ring.  Tsuji continues and says that he wants Naito's World Title.  

On February 11, it will be final matches for Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay.    Okada will face Hiroshi Tanahashi in a singles match.   Ospreay will compete with the United Empire in a cage match against Bullet Club War Dogs.
