Daisuke Ikeda

[GOTNW]

Recommendations:
vs Tamon Honda 9/1/2001
vs Morishima 6/1/2004
vs Hitoshi Kumano 6/13/2013
w/ Katsuhiko Nakajima, Mohammed Yone & Naomichi Marufuji v Mikey Nicholls, Shane Haste, KENTA & Takashi Sugiura 3/21/14

His placement largely depends on how many tag matches where he put in a stronger effort I can find. I doubt there's anything like the Honda and Morishima matches to be discovered where you feel like you are watching the Ikeda of Battlarts and Futen, but I suspect there are quite a few matches where he does good for the third or fifth most important guy in them.

He just never quite fit in NOAH sadly. Bati-Bati gives me a strong emotional connection I just...don't know.

He returns! Against Ross & Marshall Von Erich, of all people!

Pretty hyped for that ridiculous matchup.
