NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed Results
September 30, 2018
Walter Pyramid, Long Beach, CA
— WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross and the voice of New Japan, Kevin Kelly, welcome us back to the Walter Pyramid, as Roppongi 3K makes their way down to the ring to get the action started!
ROPPONGI 3K (Rocky Romero, SHO & YOH) vs. JUSHIN THUNDER LIGER, RYUSUKE TAGUCHI & ACH
Team Liger started things off with a trio of submissions on their opponents. Taguchi mounted the turnbuckles and wanted Rocky to get thrown into his rear end, but Rock countered and sent Liger flying into his butt. Roppongi slowed things down a bit, working over Liger for a few minutes with quick tags. The legend eventually broke it up and cleared the apron, planting SHO with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and making the hot tag to ACH.
ACH did a plancha to the floor taking on YOH, before hitting the ring and connecting with a series of kicks and a standing moonsault on his partner. Dropkick to the knees, dropkick to the face, followed by a mean German suplex bridge for a nearfall. Rocky got the tag and set in with his Forever Clotheslines, but got cut off by Taguchi with a hip attack. Coach Taguchi started hitting everyone with running hip attacks in the ropes, before luring all three opponents into taking each other out with simultaneous dropkicks.
A triple Atomic Drop put an end to Taguchi’s madness, followed by a really nice double knee strike combo from the former tag champs. ACH made the save for his team and hit a suicide dive to take them both guys out, and landed really hard on the floor. Taguchi hit the Chickenwing Facebuster on Rocky to score the win for the good guys.
Winners: Jushin Thunder Liger, Ryusuke Taguchi & ACH
