I've changed my mind. I shouldn't have stayed up. I'm dying here. Five more hours :mjcry:

Who do y'all think is next for Okada?

Filler match with Goto, then a Naito feud, and probably a Nakamura feud for the second part of the year or at WK.

This shyt worth watching?
fukk yes. I haven't seen it yet but I watched WK9 (the one last year) when they had JR doing commentary and I was blown away by the product. I hadn't seen New Japan since the late 90's/early 00's and the show they put on a year ago was absolutely amazing.

Just know that if you watch it, you'll have a hard time watching the RAW in ring action.

Their tag matches are out of control, especially the 6 and 8 man tag matches. The Bullet Club is awesome. Okada and especially Nakamura are awesome. It's really hard to explain how bad ass their matches are. It's much more realistic for lack of a better word. It's common to see some wrestlers with actual mouth guards in. Their strikes land, and they often land hard. Lots of moves look scary and drop people on their heads. The matches are paced perfectly and just build and build. Watch an Okada match and you'll seriously mark out for his plain dropkick by the end (when you see it you'll realize it's not plain at all).

Even if you just know one guy wants the belt, that's all you need to know to get invested in the story-line. The in-ring action is that good.

Definitely check it out. Or at least check out AJ Styles/Nakamura, Oakada/Tanahashi, Shibata/Ishii, and the 4 way tag match with the Young Bucks, reDRagon, Roppongi Vice, and Matt Sydal and Ricochet.

My roommate stayed up until like 5:30 AM before he had to go to bed and said what he saw so far was killer. I think he missed the last 3 matches, which I heard were maybe the best 3. I'm gonna check out the replay tonight after work.

Just saw the AJ/Mango nikka match, decent 3.5/5 match. Too many obvious false finishes at the end took away from the match

I happened to the homie Kota Ibushi?
:ohhh:

He wasn't on the card?

His co main event match last year with Nakamura was classic (I liked it better than the main event Okada/Tanahasi) and his triple threat match with Low Ki (when he was dressed up like Hitman) and Prince Devitt is one of my favorites.

Back injury kept him off the card, unfortunately.
