Congratulations to Funaki anyhow. I don't know much about him since I don't follow MMA, but I know he's a big deal and the crowd were obv. popping huge for the guy. Sick as fuck hammerlock-driver finishing move too.

And I didn't even know Sugiura beat Morishima for the belt. Shows you how closely I've been following NOAH lately, lol. EDIT: woops, never noticed "2010" in the title.

Oops! Sorry about that confusion there bro.

I only heard of Funaki only on WKVI. Him and Nagata were at it. I smell a super stiff single's match between them. Akiyama losing in five minutes....I wonder if AJPW was angry at him or something.

I doubt there was heat on Akiyama, they likely just went for a 5 minute sprint "shoot-style" wrestling match to suit Funaki's wrestling style and MMA history. I guess it protected him too, since Funaki surely wouldn't practiced enough in regular pro-wres to pull off the 20-min+ "King's Road" worthy epic that would be expected from an All Japan title match. Even with an Akiyama carry-job.

I did think the match was decent for what it was though, because it was just pretty fuckin' cool. A few more title matches in that vein might make a nice change of a pace actually...
