I only really have one complaint about this show:

Naito looks like a fukking p*ssy right now :francis:

Lost to Okada at the dome

Relegated back to midcard status

Jericho beat his ass leading up to the match.

Jericho beat his ass for 90% of the match & took his belt.

Had to be saved by his lieutenant who's probably gonna be challenging Jericho for the belt next in Evil.

Not sure wherr the hell he goes from here.

Guess it's time for Naito to take a trip to Impact this time to get another "gimmick" to go over:mjlol:

Finally got to sit down and watch it. Main Event was bananas, Enjoyed the 6-man tag more than I thought I would. Jericho......at 47?! Pulling off some of his best work ever. Hate it had to be Naito though.

Watch it again with english commentary. Opinion didn't change.

I'm not seeing how this is a better match than 1 or 3. I may even have it as the 4th best

I guess I'm just not into the whole "we are exhausted" schtick. I prefer the higher energy finishes.

January 4th people were like "Naito couldn't win - in kayfabe - because he didn't evolve enough. He tried to go back to his Stardust Genius persona - because he tried his old finishers once :dead: - and it backfired on him. It's genius storytelling" :mjlol:

June 9th. Kenny Omega ends Okada's historic reign by going back to his Golden Lovers team and even dying his hair like the old days. I guess he didn't need to evolve :mjgrin: People will write essays about the genius of his whole journey though :pachaha:

I mean, it was a "best of" type of match for the first 2 falls and then they went the exhausted route for drama in the third, and it worked like a charm. The crowd was losing their shyt over moves that failed to connect cleanly, I can see why people are loving the match as much as they have.

Try wrestling a match for 30+ minutes while you take impact on your back, neck, head, etc.

Ending was fine. And no way should this be ranked below last year's draw.

Meltzer said he's never seen a wrestling show better than this show, including Wrestlemania 17. And that he doesn't think he'll ever see another wrestling match better than the main event :whoa:

:wow:Dude ride NJPW dikk with such strong style progression.

Watched Jericho/Naito and Okada Omega. Incredible matches.

Okada Omega felt very much like Bret and Shawn's Iron Man Match at Wrestlemania 12

NJPW is on a roll. I'm waiting for ALL IN to announce streaming or PPV. NWA, NJPW, ROH, BTE they're cooking right now.

I'm a satisfied wrestling fan for the first time in a long time.
