The young lions were fired up, Umino particularly so. Narita took a bit of a beating, getting his nose bloodied at one point. Sabin and KUSHIDA looked very good against each other, so I&#8217;m looking forward to their B-Block match very much. Umino&#8217;s enthusiasm got the better of him in this match though. He was the young lion who tagged in late in the match, and that almost certainly spells doom for whichever rookie does that in these types of matches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Sho &amp; YOSHI-HASHI vs Tomoyuki Oka &amp; Dragon Lee<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Kenta Sato)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7523886a42','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7523886a42\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7523886a42\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: YOSHI-HASHi forces Tomoyuki Oka to submit to a butterfly lock<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 11:47<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nThe story here was the animosity between Sho and Dragon Lee. They started the match wanting to fight, and that began the match with some fast-paced action. They continued to be very aggressive towards each other throughout the match. Late in the match Oka tagged in and was up against YOSHI-HASHI, and I really liked how their closing segment. The crowd started to get behind Oka, and even though we all knew he was doomed, I liked how he fought against HASHI at the end.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>El Desperado<\/strong> (IWGP Jr. Tag Champ) <strong>&amp; Minoru Suzuki vs Toa Henare &amp; Ryusuke Taguchi<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Tiger Hattori)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7523886a7e','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7523886a7e\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7523886a7e\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Minoru Suzuki pins Toa Henare after a Gotch Piledriver<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 8:09<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nPretty good match. Taguchi looked good in this match. He did some of his comedy shtick, but for the most part he took the match seriously and hit moves other than a hip attack. Being a Suzuki Gun match, the fight did start before the bell and had a fair amount of ringside brawling. In the ring, the action was fine, but there wasn&#8217;t much of a focus as far as building up to a match. Taguchi and Desperado will face each other in B-Block, and they had some good exchanges, but that was about the extent of it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Marty Scurll<\/strong> (NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Champ) <strong>&amp; Chase Owens vs Hiromu Takahashi &amp; EVIL<\/strong> (IWGP Tag Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Tiger Hattori)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7523886ab3','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7523886ab3\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7523886ab3\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: EVIL forces Chase Owens to submit to the Banshee Muzzle<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 9:29<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match.

Tiger Mask was very aggressive in this one, taking the fight to Kanemaru for a lot of the early parts of the match. Kanemaru would use dirty tactics (including using a few young lions as weapons) to turn the match in his favor, but the veteran Tiger Mask managed to find moments to hit some big moves. I liked how the momentum shifted steadily and fairly dramatically throughout the match which led to a finish that was mildly surprising and very satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 6<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Best of the Super Jr. 25 A-Block Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Flip Gordon<\/strong> (0-0-0 : 0)<strong> vs ACH<\/strong> (0-0-0 : 0) (AAW Heavyweight Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Marty Asami)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7523886b22','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7523886b22\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7523886b22\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: ACH wins via pinfall after a cradle DDT<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 15:26<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGreat match. Flip&#8217;s style seemed to throw ACH off a little in the beginning, but once the match really got going, these two men were very evenly matches. Flip&#8217;s flips and flights ranged from silly to spectacular, and ACH fought a hard match with some powerful moves and hard strikes. I liked how their styles meshed. ACH also took a fair amount of damage that played in to how the match went along, so it will be interesting to see if any of that damage will carry over into his next few matches in the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 7<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Best of the Super Jr. 25 A-Block Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>BUSHI<\/strong> (0-0-0 : 0) (IWGP Jr. Tag Champ) <strong>vs YOH<\/strong> (0-0-0 : 0)<br \/>\n(referee: Red Shoes Unno)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7523886b52','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7523886b52\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7523886b52\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: YOH wins via pinfall with a Five Star Clutch<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 15:18<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match.

This felt like a big match, and I think it was a great first main event for the Best of the Super Jr. tournament. It started quickly with Ospreay on the offensive, but Ishimori used his speed and power to fight back. The match went back and forth with some spectacular moves throughout, and the finish felt important.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOverall, this was a very good first night of the tournament. I liked all the tournament matches, and I am looking forward to a lot of the matchups we&#8217;re going to see over the next couple of weeks. There were a few surprises on the show, and with the round-robin format it will be interesting to see how things develop.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Flip Gordon vs ACH<\/strong><br \/>\nI think the main event was great too, but I enjoyed Gordon and ACH more. I like watching Gordon in action, but I usually pull for him to lose. I really like ACH, and I usually pull for him to win. So yeah, this was perfect for me. Hopefully ACH can put together a good run this year!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Standings After Night 1<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Block
