NJPW Anniversary show thoughts:

Sho & Yoh do it again. :blessed: Hopefully they'll have a successful title defense this time. :mjlol: Very good match.

Liger/Ishimori was good.

Tana/Okada/Goto vs Naito/Evil/Sanada was fun. Tana just having fun out there these days.

White/Ospreay was great. When do we find out the Chaos mole? :jbhmm: Was waiting for Goto to attack Tana and Okada at the end.

Watch it be Yoshi Hashi aka Yo, He Trash, B. :francis:

English commentary was funny NJ Cup Night 1.

*Umino has Tana against the ropes*
Callis: He should slap Tanahashi!
*Umino slaps Tanahashi*
Callis: Ooooooh, he did it! :ooh: WHAT AN IDIOT!!

----

Callis: Do you think the fans like Yoshi-Hashi?
Kelly: I think they want to like Yoshi-Hashi.
Callis: Good point. There's a distinction there. He keeps giving them reasons not to.


Chase Owens vs Juice :obama:

Ishii vs Nagata :damn::damn::whoo:

Yeah, Chase/Juice blew away my expectations. I hope that means we'll see Chase challenge for the U.S. belt.

Watching Ishii/Nagata now.

Nagata's face after that first face slap to Ishii: :steviej:

:laff:

Ishii is so good, his selling was on point in the Nagata match. I feel like Nagata is a complete spent force though, his no selling and mannerisms were a bit grating to me. Plus the top rope exploder was too co operative. Still, I appreciate his willingness to sacrifice his remaining brain cells for my entertainment. I mean dude seems determined to retardarise himself like the gawd Kikuchi. Some very good strike exchanges and Ishii carried the latter half of the match well. Decent start to the tournament.

Immediately after that aired on the show Kevin Kelly said it's El Phantasmo from Rev Pro.

Who the hell is that? :dwillhuh:

Generic flippy White guy with an EDM gimmick.

I saw a match he had with MJF a couple of weeks ago. Nothing about him really stood out :ld:

I am just catching up to the anniversary show, main event was the best match Jay White has been in since he came back. Had a couple of very good stretches of offense and defense and made Ospreay look like a million bucks. :ehh:

I wonder if he'll be forming a tag team with Robbie Eagle to compete in the Jr tag division. Seems like a really random pick up for BC.
