It's so crazy that Mike Modest's entire NOAH run has never come to my attention, least of all that he held the Jr. title. Very nice title match. Great effort by both men. That drop at 17:55 which made Sugiura cough blood was nothing short of scary.
Modest was never really a big deal in NOAH. This was his only title defense in Japan. During the five months of his title reign, NOAH was actually getting the GHC Jr. Tag Titles rolled out and established.
@@DropkickNation This match and he and Morgan challenging Misawa and Ogawa for the GHC tag titles are probably his most notable matches. There’s a trios match from November of 04 where he and Morgan brutalized Kotaro Suzuki to hear them up as tag titles challengers, which is probably his best overall moment.
@@mikecampbell411 Might look into it at some point. 👍 This match was really good. Modest was a talented guy. Shame he never became a more recognized name. But then again, Misawa and his politics around gaikokujins never were anything to write home about.

When coughed blood it was very scary. I don't know any average person who would be able to take that move

Wow this match was awesome !
Very much so. Massive effort by both men.
Takashi Sugiura was bald at one point?!
Does anyone know what song Modest used in his entrance?
when the levee breaks - led zeppelin
