When your opponent is making it rain but you're too busy planning his funeral
Did anyone ever bother tell Shibata that it's a work?
Out here looking like the song playing in his mind is.

Shibata came out strong in the main. I didn't expect him to win, but the booking did a great job with him.
Hopefully he's champ sometime in the next 12-18 months.

Just saw the Shibata/Okada match goddamn it was good from beginning to end, whole time had me like
Shibata is that dude.
Props to Okada, people hate that he wins all the time but to me he's a defending champion and you got to win to make that title reign credible. With the onslaught gauntlet of Omega, Suzuki, Shibata and etc Okata had to deal with this year he deserves his props. With that being said Okada is being the champion the correct way because of 2 reasons:
1. Okada time after time shows that he is extra durable as hell which is what you should be when you're a champion of any kind and weight class, no matter who you are you have to bring it to him 5x more than you normally do and even then that might not be enough to defeat him.
2. A ton of Okada's success comes from the simple fact that he doesn't let the opponent hit their finisher on him. Omega never hit his One Winged Angel on Otada at Wrestle Kingdom and he didn't win, this match Shibata never hit his Penalty Kick and he didn't win. It's surprising how WWE doesn't know how much in the long run that logic makes a champion credible and/or a top level wrestler credible, WWE likes to have everyone spam their finishers and kick out of them multiple times in a match and it loses all meaning in the long run.

All you cheapskates, spend that $9 a month for NJPW world so they can see accurately how much interest is here 
god yall some brokebois
god yall some brokeboisChris is a true student of the game. There aren't many like him who study tapes of 90's All-Japan.
Do it, hearing Jim Ross and Josh Barnett breakdown their opinions of New Japan is a delight to hear. Plus its good to hear Ross being the one guy in wrestling still offended when a heel wrestler act like a heel and doesn't think its cool in any way.
