(NOAH) "A Frog in the well, but I think Noah is Go Shiozaki": Go Shiozaki and Hideki Suzuki, a match full of excitement
*Full expression is "A frog in the well knows nothing of the great ocean", it refers to someone who knows nothing of the wider world
The new generation of Pro Wrestling Noah is doing well, including the efforts of the young champion, Kaito Kiyomiya, and the image change under the new system. The number of new fans is increasing, and the excitement at the venue is rising. Noah is in process of "long term revival."
On July 27th, a big event was held in Kultz Kawasaki, and alongside the main event of the GHC Heavyweight Championship, Kaito Kiyomiya vs Katsuhiko Nakajima, and HAYATA vs Tadasuke in the Global League Finals, was the singles match of Go Shiozaki vs Hideki Suzuki.
The momentum from the Korakuen Hall event in May was the boost by the first match between them in a six man tag, a singles match was decided during this event.
It was with the words, "Noah is you", that Suzuki started the war with Shiozaki with. The fans also responded to this. He wanted Shiozaki to explode, he wanted Shiozaki to awake. There should be alot of Noah fans who feel the same way.
Go Shiozaki is "the last tag partner of Mitsuharu Misawa", and has inherited chops and lariats from Kenta Kobashi. He is no less than the successor of Noah. Everyone recognizes that ability.
But for some reason it cannot be said that he has "captured the world". There was a time when he left Noah, and fought with All Japan. So to speak, this is a return trip. And now in Noah, Kiyomiya (who is much younger than Shiozaki), is at the top. In such a situation, Suzuki was a powerful medicine that was introduced.
Shiozaki, who was injured a while ago and was full of taping, was dragged into submission hell by Suzuki on that day. He put kicks and knee drops into the areas he was taped, while saying "bad".
According to Suzuki about being taped with injuries, "Everyone hurts. Wherever you are taped, it hurts somewhere, everyone does. That is not an excuse when you come to the ring." He was as sharp in words as he was in the art of joint techniques and suplexes, which were taught to him by Bill Robinson.
From an attack on the arm to a sleeper, Suzuki in addition who drove Shiozaki with a tight knee lock, he used a Special Move Double Arm Suplex, a special move German, and Dragon Suplex. Shiozaki, who is good at chops and lariats, could not carry these out in a clear way by any means. The machine gun chops were not struck as usual, with Suzuki twisting his body and stiffening his guard.
After the match, Suzuki said, "this might not have been a good match for Noah's fans, but I enjoyed it." Putting this another way, it was different from the "usual Noah-like match". For Shiozaki this was a bout that he didn't always do.
Countering Suzuki on the ground was not a battle that boasts of pulling out of a "drawer", but rather a forceful lariat and chop. It was an unrefined force of wrestling skills that appeared in the midst.
Both are pro-wrestlers, but their styles are completely different, so a mixed martial arts battle was born. It was also the case that Shiozaki's chops caught not only Suzuki's chest, but had the audience with their hands over their eyes and mouths.
The result was 30 minute draw. It was half an hour of excitement.
"I'm sorry. I do not know what will happen next, because it was a win or lose match. I wasn't able to win today due to my lack of power", Shiozaki said.
"If I could not win with distinction, it would mean that he was strong", Suzuki says.
However, it is probably the weight of this match-up that means that there will be no immediate rematch according to Suzuki.
"If we were to do it right now, then it would be the same. I will put on power, and do it one more time when Go Shiozaki becomes Noah's face with customers, wrestlers, receptions and mass media. That face will have a belt. That is when I want to do one more match".
Suzuki also had harsh words for Noah, especially Shiozaki's current situation. He said that is a frog in a well.
"He has traveled only a small sea, and not the ocean. Even though the journey is great, I have made it smaller." However, he has not changed his thoughts that "Noah is Go Shiozaki".
"The Noah I saw before I entered Puro, was of Misawa-san, Kobashi-san, and a group that showed the toughness of professional wrestlers in various forms. Doing classic puro, I think he is the best personification of passivity. I think that makes Go Shiozaki Noah."
What Suzuki has thrown to Shiozaki is great. Although the match has been criticized, it can be said that the appeal of Shiozaki has been highlighted through this.
I do not know if there will be a next time, but for now, this was a good match as it is "current".
