Land of the Rising Sun

The Irresistible Force Meets The Immovable Object

Over the weekend, Takeshi Morishima captured the GHC Heavyweight Championship from Mitsuharu Misawa. Earlier today, we posted the end of the Briscoes match from that same supercard; which had one of the greatest finishes I’ve ever seen.

However, this match, for the GHC title, was no less than simply amazing. Some of the bumps Misawa took from Morishima were unbelievable. The punishment both of these men endured during this match goes to show how much wrestling (~sports entertainment) still means in other parts of the world.

As Morishima’s title reign begins, I’d have to believe that NOAH is pushing towards a Kenta Kobashi/Morishima match down the line for the GHC title. Whenever that happens, I have no doubt that it will overwhelm this Misawa match.

But, without further ado, here is the Morishima/Misawa title change:
