Dude.

Pretty good show, overall. Nakamura/Ibushi was amazing, at least on par with their G1 match in 2013 (and, ironically, Ibushi is pretty much everything that Naito failed to be during his main event push. Dude looked FANTASTIC) and the main event was great as well.

Wasn't too into the commentary until the last 3 matches or so. It felt a bit awkward up until the AJ/Naito match, where JR and Striker finally got something they could sink their teeth into. They have to get some of the timing issues ironed out (talking over entrances, video packages, late calls, etc.) ironed out before the AXS premiere. Nevertheless, the calls for the final three matches were great overall (not sure I understand not putting Okada over here, though, especially given the fact that Tanahashi is falling apart and has been falling apart for years now). Still miss the Japanese commentary though.

Thumbs up overall. Easily the best wrestling product in the world and has been for 3-4 years running now.

Fantastic show, every match was solid and served it's purpose. JR was gasping hard during that Ishii vs Makabe match, he was like I wanna see Nakamura vs Tanahashi soon so he could get a run again with that world belt.

JR's announcing was on point during the main event

 

[Fellatio]

Hogan had a bunch of matches in NJPW earlier in his career. Hit up youtube friend:hulkmerchant:

yeah hogan was trained by a known japanese shooter..all the talks that he can't wrestle and/or fight..thats all bullshyt..trust he knows how to take care of himself...thats why you've never heard of him taking any type of legit L..hogan in japan is the counter argument to the whole hogan cant wrestle and his usual wrestling in the states..dude is a god there
