10 Impact Vs. New Japan Matches We Need To See

Moving away from the high-flying offence, and into hoss territory here, something Japanese wrestling does best.

On paper, Joe Doering vs. Jeff Cobb sounds appetising. It's pro wrestling down to a tee; two exceptionally gifted performers just knocking sh*t out of each other. As far as the most technical of wrestling matches goes, you likely wouldn't find it here, but you would find something so incredibly tasty that it leaves you salivating for one more release suplex.

Just take into consideration what these two are capable of in the ring. Doering, a former Ace of All Japan Pro Wrestling remember, has wrecked havoc in Impact since uniting with Eric Young and Deaner, proving to have a reasonably varied moveset that allows him to wipe out an opponent with ease.

As for Cobb, he's fast becoming one of Japanese wrestling's greatest gaijins. His performances in both G1 Climaxes and World Tag Leagues is second to none, just like his current crop of work as part of The United Empire. His amateur wrestling background has helped him naturally become the alpha of independent wrestling's big men.

Literally, just through both men in a ring together, and let them lock horns. Hoss fights are one of wrestling's all-time great dessert, so long as that dessert had a nasty headbutt on top instead of a cherry.
