-Thought they would've given Lil' Red Shoes a little more in his match with Moxley, but that was about what I expected anyway. The kid definitely seems to have something, and if anyone has some match recommendations I'd be happy to dig into those.

.

**Last year, Daisuke gave the kid the best match of his young career, because of course


This was exactly what you want from a match like this: Daisuke smashes puny young lion, who has to mount a fiery comeback that leads to the finish. And of course it works because it's Sekimoto and this is what he does best. He was over as fukk with the crowd, but 4 minutes in and he has the entire building pulling and chanting for Shota who by the way did a very good job bumping and showing fire, which are 2 of the 3 things required to make this type of match work. Didn't like his selling very much as he just kinda shrugged everything off once it was time for his comeback, had he sold the earlier beating better this match could've been something else, he sold better for the last few minutes and it made his struggle feel more real. All in all it was VERY fun match and the crowd at Shijuku was fukking lit.



**Then Tana was like "let me try this out" and gave us a dope veteran vs rookie match at this year's NJ Cup, making Shota look like a million bucks any chance he could.

I remember watching the Daisuke match last year, and enjoying it.

They need to get more Lion's Gate shows running. The ones from last year were all pretty good.

I can’t front.....

I think this may have been the best show of the year for me

I thoroughly enjoyed this show and can’t wait for G1

Holy shyt this Ospreay vs Dragon Lee match is crazy

Holy shyt this Ospreay vs Dragon Lee match is crazy

I don’t get the complaints in here.... I like Ospreay matches

 

[Jmare007]

I don’t get the complaints in here.... I like Ospreay matches

It's pretty easy to understand why a lot of people like him and why others don't. He does a bunch of stuff and loooves excess in his matches, that's not for everyone

I don’t think I’ve ever been more intrigued with Moxley but he’s on one right now.

This new him or “real” him is fun

I noticed they set this video to "premiere" on YouTube. I've never seen them do that before with a post match interview. I like that NJPW is keeping the buzz going.

It's already at 800k views. Most of these post match interviews sit between 10k and 20k. Mox got the juice (no Robinson) right now.

Is Shota Umino possessed?

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Is Shota Umino possessed?

"We were just outside Osaka, when the drugs took hold...."

Moxley is finally gonna get the 'Fear & Loathing' angle off

"You can drive? He can drive."

"Come, my friend, many sake."

The way he crumples out of the shot when Mox stops holding him up.
