WARNING! SPOILER! SPECIAL BOUT REVIEW by HAROLD WILLIAMS FOLLOWS...

In this review, we will look at Ryuji Ito & Shuji Ishikawa vs. Masashi Takeda & Isami Kodaka in a BJW Tag League Series Semi Final from April 28, 2009 in Korakuen Hall. And it wasn't just any semi final match. In true BJW style, it was a, "Light Tube Death Match"! Light tubes draped over the ropes, a light tube board at the disposal of the competitors, bundles of light tubes scattered about- Big Japan Pro-Wrestling displayed once again what has made them the home of the best in hardcore wrestling action for over a decade.

With Ito & Ishikawa already in the ring, they didn't have to wait long for the action to start, as Takeda & Kodaka entered the ring and attacked before the bell. Light tubes were draped over the ropes, and Takeda & Kodaka quickly attempted to take advantage of them, as they irish whipped their opponents towards the ropes. Ito & Ishikawa did a reversal, Takeda & Kodaka put on the breaks, dodged a rushing attack from their opponents, and then resumed their assault, knocking them out of the ring. Takeda & Kodaka then both grabbed a light tube, and proceeded to smash each other in the head with them, psyching themselves up for the severely hardcore action that was sure to follow.

As the match continued outside the ring, Kodaka irish whipped Ito through a row of chairs, while Takeda grabbed hold of a barbed wire board and placed it on the floor. He attempted to suplex Ishikawa onto the board, but Ishikawa blocked the move, reversed their positions, and suplexed Takeda onto the unforgiving barbed wire, following up by raking the sharp edge of a discarded snack bag across Takeda's eyes, stomping on his face, and pressing Takeda's forehead against the sharp barbed wire. Meanwhile, Ito had gained the upper hand in his brawl with Kodaka, throwing Kodoka into a row of chairs as had been done to him earlier. As their battle continued in the crowd, Ishikawa brought Takeda over to ringside. With Takeda laying on the floor after being rammed into a ringpost headfirst, Ishikawa threw the barbed wire board on top of him -barbed wire side first- and then jumped on top of the board, digging the wire deeper into Takeda's flesh.

Ishikawa then rolled Takeda back into the ring, who was bleeding from his forehead at this point. Ishikawa attempted an irish whip into a light tube board that was in a corner, but Takedo put on the breaks. Ishikawa then tried to charge him, but Takeda moved out of the way, causing Ishikawa to almost run into the board. Takeda atempted a charge attack of his own, but ran into a knee to the gut by Ishikawa, sending him to the mat. Ishikawa followed-up with another irish whip attempt, and this time it was successful. Takeda flipped and hit the board back first, smashing two of the light tubes. As he rolled around on the mat in pain, Ito tagged in to continue the assault. He irish whipped Takeda into light tubes that were draped over the ropes, exploding them, and then sent him to the mat with a roundhouse kick to the chest. Ito went for the cover, only getting a two-count.

While Takeda sat on the mat attempting to regain his breath, Ito placed two light tubes against his back, and then delivered a roudhouse kick, exploding the light tubes into Takeda's spine. He went for the cover again, getting a two-count. Ishikawa then tagged in, and after stomping on Takeda's already injured back, grabbed two light tubes, placed them on the mat, and bodyslammed Takeda on top of them. Takeda rolled onto his stomach, writhing in pain, but Ishikawa didn't let up, placing a light tube on Takeda back and smashing it with knife hand chops, following that up with a stomp to Takeda's back.

Ito then tagged back in. When Takeda struggled back up to his feet, he was greeted by three roundhouse kicks to the chest that sent him back to the mat, and Ito went for the cover, getting only a two-count. Wanting Takeda to stay down, Ito then placed three light tubes on the mat, slammed Takedo onto them, and once again went for the cover. However, Takeda managed to kick out before a three-count could me made. Ishikawa tagged in, grabbed a chair from a stack that was in one of the corners, and smashed it across the back of Takeda. He then sat up two more chairs, placed a bundle of five light tubes across them, and attempted to suplex Takeda through the light tubes. Takeda blocked the attempt, reversed their positions, and went for the same move. Ishikawa blocked it, delivered knees to Takeda's stomach & chest, and took a few steps back. He charged towards Takeda, and was met with a releasing northern lights suplex, sending him crashing through the same light tubes that Ishikawa himself had set up.

While Ishikawa recovered, Takeda took the opportunity to crawl to his corner and tag out to Kodaka. Once Ishikawa got to his feet, Kodaka rocked him with a missle dropkick, but it wasn't enough to put Ishikawa down. He then hit Ishikawa with a front dropkick to the left leg, which did put him down. Proving that BJW features the best hardcore talents in the industry, Kodaka then displayed ring psychology by following up on his leg attack with a dragon screw legwhip. Kodoka then climbed to the top turnbuckle and attempted a cross body block, but he was caught by Ishikawa, who went on to smash Kodaka back first into light tubes that were draped over the ropes, and then hit him with a fallaway slam. Wanting to continue working on the back, Ishikawa irish whipped Kodaka into a corner, and then charged towards him. Kodaka met him with two boots to the face, and then tried to deliver a tornado DDT. When he jumped forward however, Kodaka was unable to swing Ishikawa around, and was forced into more light tubes back first. He then sent Kodaka to the mat with a releasing northern lights suplex before going for the cover, only getting a two-count.

Ito then tagged in, and when Kodaka stood up, hit him in the stomach with a sole kick. Kodaka bent over in pain, and was promptly hit in the back with an Ito axe kick. Kodako fell to the mat, and Ito delivered a running leg drop, which he had a lot of height on. Ito went for the cover, but was only able to get a two-count. He then slid the light tube board into position, and northern light suplexed Kodaka onto it, once again only getting a two-count. Intent on gaining a pinfall over Kodaka, Ito quickly followed up with a perfect moonsault. It appeared that a three-count was on it's way, but a bloody & weary Takeda entered the ring and broke up the pin.

After Ito tossed Takeda out the ring, Kodaka sat up, and Ito placed a bundle of light tubes against Kodaka's chest. Ito went for a roudhouse kick, but Kodaka had done his homework, and knew what Ito had planned on doing. Kodaka laid on the mat, dodging the kick, quickly sprang up while holding the light tubes and tried bash Ito in the head with them. Ito blocked the attack, but retaliated with a kick to Ito's gut, and then successfully made contact with the light tubes onto Ito's head. Kodaka followed up by putting Ito down with a savate kick and tagging out to Takeda.

Not hesitating for a moment, Takeda entered the ring and speared Ito as soon as he got up. After knocking Ishikawa off the apron and irish whipping Ito into a corner, Takeda charged towards him a bundle of light tubes. The impact exploded the light tubes into Ito's midsection, but also injured Takeda's shoulder in the process. Fighting the pain, Takeda stayed on Ito with a kick, a double axe handle, and elbow smashes, while Kodaka entered the ring and picked up a barbed wire board. After irish whipping Ito into a corner, Takeda and Kodaka smashed the board into Ito, who then collapsed to the mat on his back. Takeda placed the board on top of the now-prone Ito, and Takeda and Kodaka then took turns hitting it with chairs, digging the barbed wire deeper into Ito's skin. Ishikawa entered the ring to help Ito and was confronted by Kodaka, who tried to give him a double knee facebreaker, but Ishikawa escaped. However, Takeda then grabbed him from behind and successfully executed a belly to back suplex, sending Ishikawa on top of the board that Ito was still under. Kodaka then delivered a baseball slide to Ishikawa's upper torso to remove him from the ring.

Takeda & Kodaka continued their doubleteam assault by snapmaring Ito to the mat and hitting him with front dropkicks. They then hooked his legs and went for a double pin, but Ito kicked out. Ishikawa was now back in the ring, and was met by a kick to the stomach from Kodaka. He and Takeda then hit Ishikawa over the head with light tubes, but they had little effect, as Ishikawa retaliated with a headbutt to Kodaka and a knee to Takeda's stomach. He then attempted to double-chokeslam both men to the mat, but they blocked it, kicked Ishikawa in the stomach, and then rocked him with a double savate kick, followed by a double suplex.

Ishikawa slowly rolled out of the ring, and Takeda & Kodaka returned their focus to Ito. Takeda bodylsammed him to the mat and left the ring to make sure that Ishikawa wouldn't get back in. Meanwhile, Kodaka climbed to the top rope carrying a chair, appearing that he was preparing to deliver a diving elbow drop while holding the chair underneath his arm. However, Ishikawa kicked Takeda in the stomach and nailed him with a foream outside the ring, got up on the apron, and hit Kodaka in the head with a light tube, stunning him and causing him to let go of the chair. Ito recovered at this point and climbed to the second rope, and he and Ishikawa performed an aided superplex- as Ito superplexed Kodaka, Ishikawa powerbomb Ito to the mat, putting his own weight behind the move to increase it's impact on Kodaka. It knocked the wind out of Ito also, but putting one's own body on the line is nothing new for the no limit warriors of BJW.

As the match continued, Ito utilized moves that he is best known for in an attempt to finish Kodaka off. Ito hit him a sitout scoop slam piledriver, placed a set of light tubes on top of him, and launched himself to deliver his, "Dragon Splash" finisher. However, at the last moment, Kodaka had lifted his knees and positioned the light tubes on top of them, so Ito took the entire brunt of the move, the light tubes exploding upon impact. When Ito slowly stood up, Takeda hit him with a German suplex, almost getting a three-count. Wanting to make Ito stay down, Kodaka took things to another level, bringing a ladder into the ring. He climbed to the top of it, and after Takeda bodyslammed Ito, Takeda handed Kodaka a bundle of light tubes. Kodaka prepared to leap off the ladder onto Ito, but Ishikawa entered the ring and shook the ladder. Kodaka lost his balance, fell off the ladder and crashed on top of the light tubes, chest & ribs first. When Kadaka sat up, Ishikawa hit him with a single leg running dropkick, hooked Kodaka's leg and went for the pin, but Takeda made the save.

Ishikawa tossed Takeda to the outisde and followed him, leaving Ito and Kodaka in the ring. When Kodaka sat up, Ito placed a set of light tubes up against his chest, and then hit them with roundhouse kick, exploding the light tubes into Kodaka's chest. Ito went for the cover, and victory seemed certain, but Kodaka lifted a shoulder a fraction of a second before a three-count could be made. Ito was shocked & frustrated. He then hit Kodaka with a dragon suplex, but Takeda managed to make it back into the ring in time to break the pin attempt. Ishikawa, who followed Takeda back into the ring, kicked Takeda in the stomach as he tried to stand up, and while Takeda knelt over in pain, smashed three light tubes over his back. Ito placed the ladder on top of Kadaka, and Ishikawa gave Takeda a Splash Mountain onto the ladder. Takeda rolled away in pain, and Ito followed up with the, "Dragon Splash" for the win.
