NJPW Wrestle Grand Slam 9/5/2021

Skipping the first two matches, because I just don’t have time. 

Taiji Ishimori and El Phantasmo (c) vs. El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship -- This was fun. The focus of Desperado and Kanemaru is Phantasmo’s leg in an attempt to take away his base for Sudden Death. This plan succeeds, as Phantasmo ultimately cannot stand to hit the kick, instead taking the boot off and attempting to hit Desperado with it. Desperado avoids and gets hold of the boot, sticking it on his hand and landing a huge knock out blow to Phantasmo, followed by Pinche Loco for the three count. New champs!!! Winners: El Desperado and Kanemaru 

Desperado sells pain in his hand from using the boot for that strike to Phantasmo. Backstage, he shows his hand to the camera, and there is a significant bruise.

Dangerous Tekkers (c) vs. Tetsuya Naito and Sanada vs. Hirooki Goto and Yoshi-Hashi for the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship -- This starts off with a little bit of nonsense, but they quickly get down to business. Zack goes nuts as soon as he tags in. Uppercuts and neck cranks galore!! Zack catches Goto out of a spinning heel kick attempt into an STF! That Naito and Sanada double team offense is what I live for. Elbow to Zack in the corner by Sanada! Sanada throws Zack into an elbow from Naito! Sanada dropkicks Zack in the back! Naito catches Zack with an inverted atomic drop! Sanada with a back drop suplex! Naito with that bEaUtIfuL jacknife roll up! Taichi sneaks a tag on Sanada's foot while Sanada goes to the top rope to land a moonsault on Yoshi-Hashi!!! Back suplex/chokeslam combo on Sanada by Zack and Taichi! Goto is in the ring to try to save, but Taichi takes him out with a huge forearm!! Naito is in the ring, but Zack grabs him in a Cobra Twist, while Taichi lands a superkick followed by Black Mephisto on Yoshi-Hashi!! 1, 2, 3!!! Winners: Dangerous Tekkers

Robbie Eagles (c) vs. Hiromu Takahashi for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship -- Pumped for this!!! Overhead belly-to-belly in the corner by Hiromu. Hiromu drives Eagles into the other corner with a Death Valley Driver. Eagles ducks Hiromu's forearms. Low 619 to the leg, dropkick to the leg, then Ron Miller Special by Eagles! Hiromu hits a sunset flip powerbomb over the ropes and onto the floor!! Huge lariat and nasty reverse DDT by Hiromu!! Eagles hits a strong thrust kick and goes for the top rope, but Hiromu quickly scrambles across the canvas to grab Eagles' leg and prevent his climb. But Eagles puts him down with another thrust kick. 450 from the top to the leg by Eagles! Ron Miller Special by Eagles. Hiromu gets close to the ropes, but Eagles pulls him back into the center and locks it in even tighter. Hiromu taps! I didn't expect this, but I am not mad at it. Let Eagles have a good reign. Let Hiromu win the title back at Wrestle Kingdom or something. Winner: Robbie Eagles

After the match, Desperado challenges Eagles to a rematch for the Junior Heavyweight title, and offers Eagles and a partner of his choice a shot at the Junior Heavyweight tag titles in exchange.

Backstage, Hiromu is on the floor, devastated at his loss and saying that he sucks. Poor guy. He then repeatedly tells himself that he is awesome and that he will show everyone what junior heavyweight wrestling is all about.

Shingo Takagi (c) vs. Evil for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship -- This is everything you would expect it to be. A lot of nonsense with some good shit from Shingo mixed in. The first 15 minutes are purely Bullet Club nonsense. Evil shoves Shingo into the guard rail in front of the timekeeper's table twice, knocking the table and Abe over twice. Shingo eventually gets revenge, sitting Evil and Togo at the timekeeper's table and shoving Sho and Yujiro into the guard rail and into the table, laying all four of them out. Red Shoes eventually threatens to call for a DQ to get Bullet Club to leave ringside. After this, there is finally some wrestling. Noshigami and a huge wheelbarrow suplex from Shingo!!! Shingo counters Everything is Evil into Made in Japan and goes for the pin, but Togo returns and pulls Red Shoes out of the ring. Togo chokes Shingo with a wire. Yujiro hits his shitty DDT on Shingo. Shingo kicks out!!!! But Evil lands on Red Shoes. Togo goes back to choking Shingo with the wire. Bushi runs out for the save!! Sho lands a chair shot to Shingo's head and a Shock Arrow. Naito and Sanada come to Shingo’s aid now! Evil threatens to hit Shingo with the belt, but Shingo wrestles it away from him. Beautiful strikes and a Pumping Bomber put Evil down before Shingo hits Last of the Dragon for the win!! Nice moment with LIJ all together in the ring for Shingo’s post-match comments, one guy in each corner of the ring surrounding the champ. Good stuff. Winner: Shingo Takagi

Backstage, Shingo references Ospreay parading around the US, making claims of being the real champ. Can't wait to see Shingo kick his ass.
