Overall, KOPW was a really good PPV for New Japan. The last three matches,especially. Okada/Marufuji in my opinion was a contender for MOTY. :huhldup:Way and I mean way too many Tag matches on the card though.

Watched Shibata/Oreilly. Great match, enjoyed it

Omega/Goto WOOOOOOO:whew:Another brilliant show put on by them. Goto was awesomely aggressive. Solid from beginning to end but turned into WOOOOOOO status once Kenny went through the table

Still waiting for Okada/Mara to pop up on Dailymotion in Japanese commentary. Not gonna have my enjoyment ruined with that english bullshyt:camby:

User "The Real Rock N Rolla" is seemingly uploading them as I speak. New ones keep popping up but no main event yet

Just caught Okada Marafuji

Jesus fukking christ.

Just stellar. I'm giving it 5 stars I think, my 3rd this year. Okada might have the top 2 matches of 2016.

He made Marafuji look SO strong. A+ selling from Okada, the best I have seen this year outside of Naito's selling against, ironically, Okada.

Great storytelling. Legit drama. I knew the outcome and still felt like Marafuji was gonna win

Typical slow NJPW pacing to start but thats fine. Everytime I thought there was a crescendo, it turns out there was more to come

Marufuji/Okada was excellent
Those fukking chops :damn: Okada was selling his ass off. For a second there, I thought Maru could pull it off :wow:

I may have heard wrong but it seemed that the people were pro Omega during his face off w Okada.

Let Omega win :blessed:

Edit: Japanese crowd was lit. Really adds to the experience

Dat boy Ibushi is a fukking fool. Absolutely genius. Loved how the Japanese fans popped at all his signature moves.

Okada vs Marufuji was another 5 star masterpiece. God damn...were they fighting for the IWGP Heavyweight title or the Never Openweight title, that shyt was brutally violent.
