I understand why they push Cody but they need to put him against actual aces so he can learn to work the Japanese style faster. Wrestling a decent but not even remotely remarkable match against Elgin does nothing for him.
Is there a fee to join?
A few weeks ago I canceled the WWE Network and joined NJPW World. Oh boy does it pay off
All you cheapfukks asking for links: EIGHT DOLLARS FIDDY FOR NJPW World per month. That's too much huh? Oh lord
Ontopic: one of the most fun cards I've ever watched in my 25 years of wrestling fandom. Three ***** matches (all big singles title matches, well not the NEVER OW title match obviously), no dull moments, tons of crazy spots, superb storytelling, over characters...couldn't ask for more

Watching this now. I don't think I'll ever be able to take Zack Sabre Jr seriously
Amazing show! Especially the last 2 matches.
I was hoping that Omega would get the win but this was a great way to protect both wrestlers and give a stellar performance on the level of their previous matchup.

What a match
Maybe in the US indy setting but over in Japan he just looks out of place. Just way too skinny.

I can't see Okada vs Omega III happening guys, I think Kenny's dipping next year.

Enjoyed this Omega/Okada more than the first one. It's crazy that I was into the match more than the first considering the huge factor (time) that was a turnoff for me in the first. Dope match. Watching Naito/Tanahashi now

Only watched the last two matches.
Naito vs Tanahashi was fukking awesome, MOTYC
Naito was the better man but he kept getting caught in Tana's equalizer (the dragon screw) and when it seemed he had survived Tana's best punch - the dreaded sling blades out of nowhere + High Fly Flow combo - he was caught again in a hold he just couldn't get out of. It was pretty amazing hearing the Osaka crowd so into this match and so "meh" for 85% of the main event....smarten up Gedo 
Omega vs Okada II....
The WK was a really fun spotfest were the first 20 minutes were completely unnecesary for the match they ended up having. This one was a 1 hour match were the FIRST 40 fukkING MINUTES meant absolutely nothing. And the crowd knew it, they reacted very little to anything they did besides a couple of cool sequences or big bumps. It was a shyttier version of their Dome match up to that point. I was really close to just fast forward the match a couple of times, it really felt like a chore to watch.
It only came alive once they teased Cody throwing in the towel for Kenny - which didn't make much sense to me, Okada asked Red Shoes to stop it and Omega was still very much reacting to everything, then the whole BC came out. but whatever, it wasn't as bad as what they did before that happened - Then it FINALLY got going and the crowd started to get really invested in what they were doing. The last 20 minutes were a dramatic spotfest that were neatly done. Problem was that the previous long ass filler was impossible to forget.
I honestly thought Kenny was going to win at the 59:50 mark or something, but the story ended up being he survived Okada. Too bad the excecution of the story was so disjointed and messy.
I still think these two could have an awesome 20-25 minute match were they just condense all their spots in a full on sprint. I hope that's what they do the next time they face each other. I fukking pray it's in the US shows, but I guess we gotta get fukkng Cody vs Okada now

Breh the first 40 minutes were atrocious. It told NOTHING besides "these two sure know how to trade moves and change turns".
The last 20 minutes were pretty damn good but I couldn't just forget the chore of the first 2/3 of the match.
It was another unnecessarily long spotfest
Have the sex with the booker brehs 
I'll drop the rest of my thoughts later. But man did this shyt ruin the story of the evening. You had a chance to pull the trigger on making BC as hot as ever and fukked it up
Kenny honestly felt like a bigger face/underdog than DB at WM30

Young Bucks made the Sharpshooter look the strongest it has been in years.
Tama Tonga has a really cool look. Could be a big US star if he improves on the mic
Tama's pants are the same type as Seth's but look way cooler
Dudes got filthy mouths
Was surprised War Machine dropped the belts. Guess they're going all in again on the BC
Sucks we never got the Cody vs Shibata payoff. Would have went a long way in "making" Cody in Japan
Big win for Cody, BC still rolling. Got me thinking Omega taking an L
He BETTER not lose to Daniels
That running dropkick off the chair by froghead was cold AF
Kushida got a big ass herp bump on his lip
More of the same old shyt for the junior title
That simple little setup between Suzuki & Liger makes me want to see them square off. Simple & effective spot
Also setup a future Suzuki/Yoshi Hashi match. Another simple easy setup
Naito fukked that belt up
Match could've gone either way. I thought it would've made sense for naito to retire the belt with the US belt coming. But it also makes a lot of sense to get naito away from the belt and get it onto Tana.
I look forward to seeing a Tana vs Suzuki feud one day
I didn't even realize Okada been champ for this long
Wonder if Cody comes after Tanahashi next. Hmmmm
Kenny out looking like HBK in early 98
Don Mallis and his Kenny Omega stanning
That springboard moonsault, Wow
That shotgun dropkick. GOTDAMN!!!
That 1st rainmaker pin attempt. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa talk about suspenseful
BRUHHHHHHHHHH. This fukking Match
This mofo harder to take down than Alabama. fukk
