NJPW Destruction in Hiroshima Results, Grades, and Analysis

Los Ingobernables de Japon (BUSHI, SANADA, EVIL, & Tetsuya Naito) vs. Suzuki-gun (El Desperado, TAKA Michinoku, Zack Sabre Jr., & Minoru Suzuki)

Suzuki and Naito started this one off, brawling on the outside of the ring, while SANADA locked TAKA in the paradise lock. BUSHI took it to Desperado in the ring, but Suzuki cut him off and locked on an armbar over the top rope. BUSHI hit a series of chops on Suzuki, but Suzuki smiled and proceeded to try and rip his arm off. Naito broke it by spitting on Suzuki and stepping on his face and grinding the heel of his boot into Suzuki’s eyes.

Suzuki reacted in anger. Which, really, is quite understandable. Naito and Suzuki brawled on the apron, and Suzuki went for the Gotch Style Piledriver on the apron! Naito fought out, and Suzuki locked on the rear naked choke on the apron, and hung Naito off the apron, choking him unconscious! Naito collapsed to the floor!

Suzuki stayed on the floor as ZSJ and EVIL fought in the ring. ZSJ countered everything that EVIL was able to throw, and soon thereafter, TAKA was beating on EVIL but Naito made his return to the ring to break it up. Suzuki immediately grabbed Naito back in a Rear Naked Choke, and choked Naito out again, this time both going to the floor. Suzuki held the hold on while EVIL and SANADA hit a Magic Killer on Taka for the win. Suzuki did not care about winning the match.

Result: LIJ

Rating ***1/2 (3.5 stars out of 5)

Suzuki continued to choke Naito out after the match, and he left him laying on the ground. The members of LIJ tried to get him off, and Suzuki responded with laughing. They brought out a stretcher for Naito, but Naito refused it and threw the stretcher away.
