I had to run some errands this morning, just caught the show.

Must watch matches:

Tana/Ishii
SANADA/Marufuji
Goto/Tonga

Poor Makabe and Okada. In no way did they stand a chance following Ishii/Tana.

Block A had a damn good night.

[MightyHealthy]

Highlights of tag matches: Maru makes Tenzan bleed, LOS! Kid is dressed up as Yano

 

[Lost His Smile]

Shenanigans.

 

[Mr. Negative]

SANADA/Maru was a good match. It's easy to forget how agile sanada is cause he looks like a goon and not an X-Division wrestler. Crowd was into it for the latter half.

Ishii/Tana didn't fail to disappoint, of course. Crowd was red hot. Kayfabe wise, Ishii gotta have the worst knees in the business, all the dragon screws I see him eat. nikka need some Stone Cold leg braces.

Spoiler

Too bad Tana won, though. Went out after the match hugging kids, had chicks screaming and hyperventilating and shyt....

Okada/Makabe? I just turned the shyt off. fukk makabe. I can't stand the sight of dude. I hate his whole wrestling persona, as opposed to my hating Tana cause he's ultraface

NJPW has been GREAT since I started watching with y'all a few years ago, because there's always been 5 or 6 wrestlers that I know I'm gonna get a 4.25 and above caliber match whenever any of them are in the ring together. Ishii and Tana, can't help but get an excellent match out of them.

 

[Mr. Negative]

Shenanigans.

you got reps on backorder

 

[MightyHealthy]

I am still laughing my ass off at Yano.
Nagata's helplessness
