Low Ki vs. Alex Koslov from NJPW’s Best of Super Juniors 2012

  By TJ Hawke | June 9, 2012 - 1:14 am |

 

Recap from TJ Hawke:

Koslov tried to get a “Russia!” chant going, but the fans were more taken with the current IWGP Jr. Heavyweight champion.  Low Ki put on Kozlov’s stereotypical Russian hat and started chanting Russia.  Low Ki doing shenanigans?  Low Ki apparently having fun?  I’m not familiar with this concept.  Koslov slammed Ki hard off the turnbuckle.  They hit each other really hard.  Ki missed a charge in the corner, and Koslov pounced with a springboard lariat.  Ki came back with a pair running lariats and some kicks.  Tidal Wave from Ki: 1…2…NO!  Ki followed that up with a shotgun kick in the corner.  Ki called for the Ghetto Stomp, but Koslov grabbed his foot.  Ki tried for the Ki Krusher, but Koslov grabbed the referee.  Koslov got a pair of backslides for nearfalls.  Koslov locked in a submission, but Ki made the ropes.  Koslov set up for a big forearm, but Ki hit the koppou kick out of nowhere.  Ki Krusher: 1…2…3!

 

This was a solid undercard match for a BOSJ.  The crowd wasn’t super hyped for it, but they weren’t dead or anything.  Something about Low Ki being an unbeatable babyface in the independents and NJPW is just silly though.  His winning percentage must be insane.  Show some weakness!

Match Rating: ***

About TJ Hawke

TJ was a fan of wrestling as a kid (starting around 1999), and his first concrete wrestling memory is some kid bringing Hulk Hogan his old yellow and red gear backstage during an episode of Nitro. Hogan needed the gear to defeat Kevin Nash in a title vs. career match at the next WCW PPV. Nash lost the match and his career, which sadly resulted in the world losing out on seeing Kevin Nash matches for the last 13 years. Like almost all young kids, TJ’s interest in wrestling fluctuated over the years until an episode of Raw on July 3, 2006. TJ was curious and excited to see his beloved RVD show up with the WWE Title belt and what he thought was the revitalized European title. TJ decided he must turn to the the internet to figure out what was going on. Almost 6 years later, TJ is still searching the internet every day to find out what is going on in wrestling. Now though, he writes for the pop culture site (411mania.com), has his own blog (The Best of Chikara), and is the creator of the very site you are reading now.
