Daisuke Ikeda is Screaming at a Wall, Someday it's Going to Fall

Daisuke Ikeda v. Tamon Honda NOAH 9/1/01- EPIC

These are two of my favorite Puro workers ever, and this one of my favorite Puro matches. Honda missed his calling as a BattlArts guys, and all I want for my birthday is to see all of his FUTEN matches. This is the semi final match of a mini tourney for a GHC title shot and felt like a big deal. Honda is an Olympic wrestler and he has some really amazing takedowns, just tremendous speed and force. Meanwhile Ikeda is throwing nasty kicks and clotheslines. It was basically striker versus grappler as Ikeda had the advantage on the feet while Honda took control on the mat. Finish was great with Honda doing as nasty leg grabbed takedown and quickly shifted into multiple variations of Olympic Hells until he grabbed one that finished him.

COMPLETE AND ACCURATE IKEDA
