Naomichi Marufuji & Kota Ibushi vs. KENTA & Taiji Ishimora (NOAH - 7/15/07) - 9

This was a fantastic tag match. Marufuji and KENTA started it out much to the crowd's delight and traded kicks, slaps, takedowns, and reversals. Their partners then tagged in and amazed the crowd as well. I'm not familiar with either Ibushi or Ishimora but they were definitely impressive. Ibushi was flying around the ring and there was a fabulous spot where Ibushi attempted a moonsault and KENTA rolled out of the way. Ibushi landed on his feet and did a standing moonsault followed by a hard frog-splash from Marufuji. There were a few sick crucifix moves, some great teases, stiff kicks, hard slaps, fabulous aerial moves, and plenty moves where people get dropped on their head. Ishimora has a nice move where he flips in mid-air and delivers and elbow. I urge you to seek this out just to see the exact formula on how to properly build a tag match.

KENTA and Ishimora

I tend sometimes not to list who won because I don't want to spoil it for potential viewers.
