Watched Ospreay/Shibata and Elgin/Naito and thought both were excellent

Ospreay seems to have been hitting the weights. I thought that his unique offense came off well in this match, not corny like it often can be. For an undercard match that wasn't given a ton of time, this really delivered

Elgin/Naito was a typical NJPW title main event. So basically, it was awesome. Great drama, great selling, great transitions and reversals. I don't really expect anything less in these types of matches:yeshrug:

Great spotfest. Loved the top rope mask spot. Time bomb is kind of a wack finisher though.

Another stellar 4+ star match

Naito is amazing, brehs. Him, Omega and Okada are the three best wrestlers in the world.

NJPW is on fire right now.
Hate to sound like a stan but New Japan currently has one of the most stacked rosters I've ever seen. Okada, Omega, Tanahashi, and KUSHIDA weren't in important matches and NB Osaka was still an amazing show.
