NJPW: Results, Highlights, and Review from New Japan Cup 2020 Night 2

Oh no! Gedo can’t wrestle because his arm is hurt! What’s this?? A hidden object in his makeshift sling?!

Honestly this fight is hilarious. There are a few wrestlers on the roster who can’t move as well as they used to, or struggle with more traditional wrestling, so their matches are unique. Just like with Yano and Jado, there’s a lot of substance here that isn’t just Okada’s usual technically-excellent wrestling.

It starts with Gedo flopping down onto his back in the middle of the ring, then they scream at each other like cats, and Okada spends the next several minutes fighting off a series of illegal objects, general cheating, and takes at least three low blows before he finally pins Gedo.

It’s absolutely worth it to watch just to observe how Okada suffers through a frustrating barrage of dirty tactics.
