Michael Nakazawa

A men's singles match.

Jon Moxley beat Michael Nakazawa in about not long enough for a rating.

A men's tag team match, Evil Uno and Stu Grayson beat Jungle Boy and Marco Stunt in about with a 5.42 cage match rating and a 6.5 rating from you, Gerald.

And first runner...

I said Tommaso Ciampa.

You tried to put Michael Nakazawa.

I vetoed it.

It's Tommaso Ciampa.

Some of Dan's opponents on Dark included now NXT man Ethan Page, Takeshita, and even Mox.

Limelight also teamed with Matt and Mike Seidel versus Takeshita, Michael Nakazawa, and Kenny Omega on one edition.

The guys shared the ring with some of All Elite's finest then.

So at least you can brag about that.

Like, you're gonna get a bump in just a second, but is it sustainable? So November 13th, completely different story 'cause AEW was coming out of Full Gear, and the company had several major developments to follow up on.

Jon Moxley defeated Michael Nakazawa.

The Dark Order defeated Jurassic Express.

Darby Allin defeated Shawn Spears and Peter Avalon in a triple threat match.

And, you know, they were a whole crew, the elite at the time.

Brandon Cutler, Michael Nakazawa, and so many other people.

Yeah.

I'm just having a brief amnesia.

was

that?

Michael Nakazawa.

I remember.

Uh, there's, the, the listings simply go from Matt Jackson, well, Matthew Jackson as he's listed.

So it's Matthew Jackson to Michael Nakazawa.

No more Max Caster.

But Anthony Bowens, he is still listed, uh, nestled nicely between, uh, Angelo Parker and Anthony Ogogo.

Now, an early story of the bout is both men had significant entourages with them.

Kenny had the Young Bucks and Michael Nakazawa.

Ospreay had Hanari, Akira, and Callum Newman.

Will and Callum's relationship has been shaky at best ever since Ospreay's dalliance with the Death Riders.

I wish he-

... just didn't happen, but when that happened, it's just like, yeah, you're not gonna really...

All right.

Riho gets the three count, becomes the first ever AEW Women's World Champion.

uh emotional scene here she receives the championship michael nakazawa enters the ring interviews are in japanese dollar rose attacks both of them uh before lifting nakazawa for a powerbomb nyla nearly loses him drops him and then lifts him again before connecting with a sit-out powerbomb again match was good here i think rio is super talented we talk about foundational pieces Uh, there is a starting point and context is King here.

When you're talking about this, there's some good spots that do play the, uh, the larger size Nyla Rose versus the Rio piece here.

Some good spots.

He was there for a little while.

Then he signed with AEW because I thought his first match – was supposed to be against Michael Nakazawa or it was, but I remember his first pay-per-view match was against Kenny Omega at all out.

That was like, Holy shit.

This was good.

I know he did something with Lance Archer before too.

Like he worked a good match with Lance Archer.

Michael Nakazawa was another one.

I don't know.
