GHC Heavyweight Title Match: Jun Akiyama vs. Naomichi Marufuji 27:29. Marufuji should be the perfect opponent for Akiyama since Jun has long wanted the big heavyweight match to be more similar to a concussive junior style match. Surprisingly, they showed a good deal of restrainst, actually keeping it more under control than the typical Akiyama vs. Misawa or Kobashi. While a good thing in and of itself, the fact that Marufuji tried to do a heavyweight match rather than Akiyama doing his typical quasi-junior match was perhaps a bad thing, as in the end, the match wasn't really Marufuji or Akiyama. You knew they lacked the psychology, but when you took away the craziness, it became somewhat pedestrian, both for Budokan main event and even their own standards. The match did have enough of the speed and athleticism to be Marufuji. It started really well with the quick action leading into Marufuji's knee attack. Akiyama came back countering Marufuji's charge with a back body drop over the top onto the runway. They seemed to lose their way after this, or rather, they generally lacked any particular direction and had no idea where they were taking things. The match didn't tell a story or have any particular focus. If anything, it was built around Marufuji's shiranui, but that move isn't particularly over due to it's lack of credibility, so the variations were greeted with relative silence whereas Marufuji's other favorite moves, for instance the thrust kick that's his setup for the shiranui, got consistently good reactions. The athleticism did set it apart from other GHC Heavyweight matches, and Jun did a few different things to fit, for instance a nadare shiki Frankensteiner that got a huge pop. Even though they sometimes don't really work, for instance, Marufuji's shiranui over the guard rail today, I love how Marufuji is always thinking of new ways to do things. He wanted to knock Akiyama off the apron to the floor, so he did a short swandive missile kick, which wasn't dangerous for him because he was able to push off Akiyama so he'd land in the ring. Marufuji wasn't ready to win the title push wise, but they decided to toss it on him anyway. In the typical halfhearted booking, they concocted some series of counters so Marufuji could beat Jun without really beating him. It might have looked awesome if they could have pulled it off as it was so intricate, but they wound up just sort of doing things as fast as they could, so it sometimes broke down, and generally didn't come off. I would have no problem watching this match a couple more times, as it was never dull, but I was hoping for more than goofy fun. ***1/2

GHC Heavyweight Title Match: Naomichi Marufuji vs. KENTA 35:34. These two very clearly surpass their previous best every time they wrestle each other. They decided to just be themselves, so they were in full junior heavyweight mode despite Marufuji's heavyweight title being on the line, but that was the wise decision because by relaxing and adding new riffs to the numerous aspects that make this a great rivalry, they were able to not only once again set a new standard for themselves, but put themselves in the conversation when you think about the better matches and rivalries, particularly of this decade. Heavies of juniors, they lacked nothing in the stiffness and intensity departments, which were top notch by any standard. The work was off the charts, and the match was just insane with too many wild and innovative spots to list. A couple spots didn't work, including a top rope quebrada to the floor from Marufuji that saw his neck smash the guard rail and his foot (or knee?) bust KENTA open, but when you have the rare individuals who have the chemistry, athleticism, and skill to try spots and sequences that others wouldn't dream of, much less dare, that's an acceptable, occasional downside. The crowd might not have been the biggest, causing Misawa to make the wrongheaded, shortsighted panicy decision to immediately put the title back on himself, but you can't put one of the least interesting undercards in the history of Budokan sports beneath two essentially new headliners and expect any different. Maybe some people stayed away because something in the league with the best the NJ juniors could ever offer isn't their idea of an AJ/NOAH Budokan main event, but the fans in the building were reacting to every single spot. ****3/4

KENTA vs. Bryan Danielson 25:21. Extremely effective slow paced match in Danielson's style. In fact, one of the most believable junior matches. The selling was awesome, and they suitably restrained themselves with Danielson making KENTA pay every time he tried to use a running sequence to open the match up. Danielson was on top of his game, wrestling with calculated and precise brutality. He does nothing by accident, and today he viciously debilitated KENTA's left arm. Danielson hurt his knee on a dive, and never forgot it the rest of the match. This wasn't the typical selling where he hopped around then grabbed his knee; he actually was unable to do a lot of what he wanted the way he wanted because the knee wouldn't allow it. For instance, he could do a German suplex, but couldn't hold the pin. It was just a fantastic job of altering his wrestling style to fit his physical status. Unfortunately, KENTA was kind of exposed in this match. He was able to follow Danielson, but looked really out of his element and really didn't add anything. Basically, he could react well enough to go along, but he wasn't really comprehending what was going on to the point he could think or improvise any touches of his own. He couldn't even come up with anything to abuse the knee. This was nearly a great match anyway because Danielson was so fantastic, but should have been a great match because KENTA should find a way to bring some of his skill to the table to go along with his commendable willingness to try to do something out of the ordinary. ****1/4

GHC Heavyweight Title Match: Naomichi Marufuji vs. Mitsuharu Misawa 25:32. Misawa vs. Jun a decade later. It was an excellent match because Misawa knows he isn't near what he used to be physically, and was willing to go along for the ride, adding some of the mental things he does well such as structuring the match and selling. Though Misawa still wasn't up for any real psychology, he is one of the best wrestlers at segmenting a match, so even though the match didn't tell a story as a whole, all the individual parts were entertaining and effective. Misawa is also a diverse enough wrestler that he can work his style, making slight alterations so it's Marufuji's style too. For instance, they did the requisite elbow exchanges, but Marufuji would win them because he'd use his quickness to change them up, catching Misawa with his lariat or kneecap dropkick. Misawa was selling for Marufuji from the outset, but Marufuji really took over Dragon screwing Misawa in the ropes, which began a lengthy though fruitless knee attack. As with the juniors, this played a minor role in the second half of the match, which simply showcased the excellent work and highspots of Marufuji. Though Marufuji lost, Misawa went way out of his way to put him over, allowing him to kick out of an avalanche style Tiger suplex '85 and emerald flowsion before catching him in an avalanche style emerald flowsion. ****
