DEADLOCK Watch This #225

We had no idea what this company was before we watched this, let alone that a match with these four guys exists!

BML Illusion 5 - Katsuyori Shibata & Kota Ibushi vs Naomichi Marufuji & Takeshi Morishima

We had no idea what this company was before we watched this, let alone that a match with these four guys exists! On this edition of Watch This, we take a look at the BIG MOUTH LOUD promotion, which had a short run in Japan, but had some interesting matchups like this. This is in 2006, and all four of these guys are ready to kick the shit out of each other, and that's exactly what we get.

Watch This!

I don’t ever seen two dudes legit straight shooting like Morishima and Shibata while also keeping the match on the rails. What a crazy set of dudes

when marafuji and ibushi were getting heat in submissions in the middle of the match- i have to imagine they called it "oh shit let's slow it down here so they can maybe cool down a bit" morishima and shibata did not cool down a bit

Definitely recommend Yuki Ishikawa vs Alexander Otsuka or Kensuke Sasaki vs Kazunari Murakami if you're looking for future BML matches to watch.

Coming back a day later because I forgot to say but Gerard gordeau, the nazi from ufc 1, has a match on the bml debut show that I’m pretty sure turns into a shoot half way through

Cornelius Longway · January 18, 2025

BML rules. Look up Tomohiro Ishii's matches. He has hair. It's cool. If you wanna see some real crazy shit, check out Kazunari Murakami.

J
Jared Winn · January 18, 2025

Shibata/Okada is probably my favorite match too. I’d love to watch it again together.

Illusion 2 had a AJ Styles vs Petey Williams match. but Shibata’s whole run in BML is definitely worth watching. He faced Satoshi Kojima, Katsuhiko Nakajima, and Kensuke Sasaki in notable single matches

Another Shibata match to watch is the 10 minute non-stop brawl with Ishii. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x92s6mq

The line, "You catch 1 stray, and you get 16 receipts." had me laughing until the end of the match.

I think that dive Morishima hit was the first ever successful 'Flying Nothing'

B
BigJ · January 18, 2025

For me, the first successful flying nothing was done by Alberto Del Rio. I wish I could remember the match, but I remember making a gif of it for /wooo/. Del Rio did the whole arm flailing and everything, but he actually hits it instead of being countered.

BML is one of my favourite short lived promotions, very weird mix of talent on the these shows but they were very fun nonetheless.

natey boi · January 17, 2025

as a certified “diva stan” i can inform you that summer rae did not do that move but candice michelle and kelly kelly both did lol and summer’s song said “call to me” not “talk to me” so just a whole bunch of incorrect info being thrown around in this one but that’s why i love y’all lmfaooo 🫶🏻 edit: insane that this is the comment i choose to leave for this match 💀

BML fucking rules. They also booked the absolute maniac Don Arakawa and I love him.

BML is one of my favorite weird promotions ever. Shibata was awesome and so were the mma guys they brought in. Hope yall watch more from them!

D
Dick Sneak · January 17, 2025

Big Mouth Loud BABEE! Weird semi-shooter promotion, that I believe was funded by New Japan with the intention to get Shibata over.

P
PiplupsFriend · January 17, 2025

BML formed when a high up guy backstage in New Japan got removed from his position so he left to make his own promotion and took some of the wrestlers with him. Shibata was being built to be there ace but the company folds before he really gets solidified and he mostly leaves wrestling for mma for the next couple of years until he eventually returns to New Japan in 2012

P
PiplupsFriend · January 17, 2025

Also the Sakura Genesis match you were talking about is my favourite match ever, I don’t really rewatch matches often but I’ve seen it 7 or 8 times and it’s my go to when trying to get friends to watch wrestling with me
