Shingo Takagi And Taichi Pick Stipulations For KOPW Trophy Bout At NJPW Dominion
The stipulations have been picked.
Shingo Takagi and Taichi are set to meet again for the KOPW 2022 Provisional Trophy at NJPW Dominion. Ahead of the bout, Shingo picked a Ten Minute Unlimited Pinfall Scramble Match while Taichi chose a No Time Limit, Limited Finishers Ten Count Match.
From NJPW:
No Time Limit, Limited Finishers Ten Count Match
Taichi: (To Takagi) I know you’re an idiot, so I’ll explain it to you. The “No Time Limit” part means that there isn’t a limit on how long the match goes. Now, “Limited Finishers”. I pinned you with a Gedo Clutch and you tried to have your little get back on me with the Ground Cobra. So that’s fine. Only my Gedo Clutch and your Ground Cobra will count. Other moves, whether it’s a lariat, a brainbuster, or a DDT, you can’t score a pin from. And the “Ten Count”, whoever gets to a total of ten first wins. Last time it was thirty, and although I can humiliate you and pin you for 30 in one go, I won’t because I’m nice. So ten it is. How’s that?’
‘Ten Minute Unlimited Pinfall Scramble Match.
Shingo: It’s simple as can be. Whatever happens, ten minutes to settle it. Last time, we had no time limits and a 30 count. I think in the opening moments of that we took our time a little as a result. This time, it isn’t in the main event, and I think it’s pretty appropriate to try and get the win in ten minutes. That’s what’s going to put the two of us to the test, mentally and physically. It’ll be a different side to the both of us. We’ll be throwing bombs from the get go, trying to get the win as soon as possible. And even though it won’t be the main event, it’ll be the match that everyone remembers on this card. Well, if Taichi here carries his end of things anyway. Whatcha think, Taichi?’
