10 Matches For The Ultimate NJPW Vs. AEW Supercard

10. Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus Vs. Guerrillas Of Destiny

A great dynamic that doesn’t threaten to steal a show that would require herculean energy from the crowd to generate graduating heat, this is the opener: a match between a very beloved tag team and their despised, broken mirror image.

Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa are hated by fans for reasons sought and otherwise: when they’re in the mood, or across the ring from the right opponents, they can whip up an earned reaction with nasty, charismatic heel work. Or, they just do sub-WWE heel trolololol bullsh*t that generates groans, and not jeers.

Either version of the act works wonderfully in contrast to the most wholesome and popular double act in AEW: the prospect of Tama bullying Jungle Boy—viciously or lazily—only to be confronted by Luchasaurus and his boy-popping retribution spot is both awesome and long overdue.

Tama Tonga is a complete d*ck, he’s tanked several major New Japan cards just as they built to the crescendo that makes a five-hour show so watchable, and only a 6’ 5” karate-kicking dinosaur can restore the karmic balance.
