The Boss enters the Puro Kingdom: NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 (1/4/2023)

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Alright i fired this up a bit ago... i'm currently on the Toma vs. Anderson match... Let's go Toma!

Here's my thoughts so far -

- Jr. Tag Titles was your normal sprint. Decent match.

- kairi vs. Tanaka was dope! kairi had a cool entrance. Good match.. they stiff the hell out of each other.

Then we get MERCEDES MONE' in the building! Nice pop of her appearing on screen. Don't love the hair but it's fine for a one off. Now.. the gear was special. One of Mercedes more revealing and sexy outfits. Theme was meh.. she gotta call snoop. So good to see her.

Mercedes vs. kairi in San Jose gonna be good. Did Mercedes say that she's gonna wrestle Stardom as well?

Just started the women's match. They treated Tam Nakano like a damn jobber with that entrance and having her lose in less than 6 minutes.

Kairi with the best top rope elbow drop in the game today

That stardom wrestler Giulia is solid too

We need Giulia vs. Hayer at the Forbidden Door PPV

So is this the first WWE contracted wrestler competing on a Wrestle Kingdom show?

Yeah since Wrestle Kingdom didn't start until 2007.

 

[MenacingMonk]

About to start this shyt. Main card is about 4 hours and change. That’s a relief.

 

[TOAD99]

Ospreay and Omega restored the feeling

That DDT to the top rope spot

I wanted omega’s original music

Omega is GOD mode in Japan

Spoiler

Also… Ospreay should’ve gotten the W

 

[TOAD99]

Horrible debut for Sasha

Looked good as fukk tho

I miss shibata

Son of Strong Style is cool but it’s not the same. Surprised Sabre got the win, but well deserved

Shota is the future

 

[TOAD99]

Okada needs to bring the old belt back. This new shyt weak as fukk

Also love how the Styles Clash still gets a pop in japan

Triple H should let Aj participate in the G1

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

Shocked no Jericho tonight

was there money in Jericho (AEW) vs Nakamura (WWE) at this NJPW event?

Jericho got Starks tonight on Dynamite.

 

[MenacingMonk]

TJP gotta cut that fukkboy emo hair style.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

man... don't care what nobody say. Omega and Ospreay tore the house down. That match was way more violent than i expected it to be and that only added to the drama at the end. Did not expect Omega to win either

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

Someone tell me who these 3 are in WWE terms

All I know is Tanehashi is the Japanese John Cena. Who are his teammates?

Shota Umino is the son of referee Red Shoes and just graduated from his "young lion" phase and now a top prospect singles wrestler now
The other guy is The Great Muta... the legendary GREAT MUTA!

Muta is like Japanese Sting

 

[White City Black]

I’ll circle back and watch in bits…so far only caught the KAIRI match/Mercedes debut, and Omega-Osperay.

I thought Sasha’s initial pop was fine, and damn does every comment on Twitter gotta be about “the botch”?!?

I’ve been wanting to delve into more Stardom stuff in general, but I’m looking forward to seeing her do some quality work over there
