I don't mind the movie but it really doesn't makes much sense since he makes his opponent immobile, yet only takes advantage with a weak ass dropkick.

That and the continued insistence to have him choke out opponents in Skull End only to let go of the hold in order to hit a moonsault that he almost never hits are weak points in his offense.

Regardless I still think he's one of the best allround talents in NJPW, but seeing as he wasn't even booked to go over his LIJ tag team partner, it seems clear that he's going nowhere this G1 outside of possibly getting a win over Okada.

Surprised the crowd was rooting Ospreay over Ibushi, I understand the respect (or stupidity) of him doing this match with his reported neck issues, especially since it's Ibushi aka the neck destroyer. Which the latter did multiple times. It was absolutely brutal and it was absolutely awesome.

I really wish he would tighten up Skull End. My only qualm with Sanada is that a lot of his top moves don't look like they're really fukking people up.

As for the Paradise Lock, I am :pacspit: over Ospreay just flat no-selling the move. Fukk that. I get it's not serious but damn.

Honestly I don't give a flying fukk about Naito and I'm almost at the point where I actively don't want to watch him anymore. Gedo McMahon has done his best to take away all of his shine :shaq2:

Seeing Ambrose make an effort to connect with his kicks and elbows and dives makes me realize he was mentally checked out probably 2-3 months into his solo run in WWE.

Once he got that 1-2 of being fed to Seth to facilitate his heel run at HIAC 2014 and losing because he forgot to unplug a fukking TV at that year's TLC, he was basically done being consistently motivated.

Look at the difference between his three big matches with Seth between August and October of 2014 (Lumberjack at SummerSlam, Falls Count Anywhere on the following RAW, and the HIAC itself) and most of what he does from 2015 onward. Night and day difference.

Just watched Moxley/Ishii by the way, great stuff. Definitely in the top 5 matches of the tournament so far, may even be top 3. Both men have definitely done better, but that was an excellent piece of violence.
