NJPW Presents: Sakura Genesis - Will The Rainmaker's legendary reign continue?

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Finished watching the show. Event wasnot bad.

War Machine winning the gold

Hiromu murdering Kushida

Okada winz lol even though ShibGOATA violating him throughout the match

Overall it was what it was....a good NJPW event with Rainmaker being victorious despite getting slaughtered

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Fale getting a push though

 

[TheGodling]

Am I the only one who finds Zack Sabre Jr. kinda boring?

I was surprised KUSHIDA lost so quick. That match would have been great given more time.

Juice really went from jobbing on NXT to beating one of the best wrestlers on the planet.

I think ZSJ is boring as hell. He got low-key exposed again because the early submission transitions in the main event were more interesting and suspenseful than his showboaty shyt.

So Juice Robinson is CJ Parker, lol. I thought it was him but I was like 'Nah, no way is that jobber with the tree-hugger gimmick pinning Naito in NJPW'.

I need to start watching shows live. Matches are definitely better if you're watching live.

When your opponent is making it rain but you're too busy planning his funeral

GOATbata was scheming on the Rainmaker like a MOP video.

 

[Nero Christ]

goodness that main event

Shibata went in, those kicks (especially towards the end) , those slaps ; not mad at Okada winning at all, I expected it much like everybody else

this is right there with Naito/Tanahashi for MOTY for me

You see that too? A lot of ZSJ matches are him just showing off moves.

That's how I feel about every match I've seen him in. He got exposed hard in the Cruiserweight Classic, and any time a match actually incorporates submissions into the storytelling/psychology it shyts all over him. There's nothing engaging about his in-ring work whatsoever.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Shibata been handing out that work

 

[Jmare007]

Yeah, the fact ZBJ is doing the exact same shyt for like 4 years has exposed him imo. Dude doesn't know what else to do in a ring, it's just a bunch of exhibition matches with him unless his opponent is good enough to force him to more interesting shyt.

Can't believe he's winning technical wrestler of the year awards over legendary British wrestlers like Grado.
