Just finished the first episode. Getting to watch this again in HD quality for the first time

I liked that they actually subtitled Okada and Tanahashi's promos. Mauro Ranallo and Josh Barnett were alright on commentary.

NJPW actually does false finishes correctly, unlike ROH who just spams finishers until the ending is anticlimactic.

I'm a fan of the spot that Nakamura and Tanahashi (I'm sure there are others) do where they suddenly get and think "Why give him one finisher, when I can give him 3?" to end a match.

@trick Did you get ROH/NJPW tickets, breh? I'm gonna try to cop some next week

I bought tickets for Friday's show, but I haven't bought tickets for Saturday. I might go to Saturday's solo, but I don't know what the line-up is going to be like. I heard ROH only wants to bring in 2-3 guys from NJPW because they barely broke even last year on the joint shows. If you wanna hit up the show together Saturday, let me know.
