[SubZeroDegrees]

Ah, so Naito and Hiromu are getting their tag title chance after all Sneaky mufukkas

True ungovernables

 

[DaylitoJames]

Shota gotta cut that heel promo to the crowd tomorrow

and start up "Death Riders de Japon" with Mox's blessing

 

[The Rainmaker]

Shota has zero crowd control, instead he let the crowd control him and went from face to heel to face.

Red Shoes gotta be a better that and show him some classic matches for him to learn.

Im just starting the show now. That ladder match was insane. A few of them dudes could of died with some of those spots..if the rumors are true about Knight getting offers he better take one of them cause I can see him getting pigeon holed due to his athleticism and is willingness to go all out.

Just fired this up a bit ago, I'm trying to fast-forward through some things and just watch the matches.

-Ranbo had all the vets/legends you'd expect, few surprises thrown in there. I don't mind the winner but it was pretty telegraphed

-Jr. Tag titles ladder match was ok, nothing too crazy but I don't mind the winners of that either

Now it's time for AZM vs. Mayu

 

[OneDeep]

Couldn’t of gave Mayu & AZM at least 15 minutes

Nothing else interests me now even to is just matches no story

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

AZM vs. Mayu was a fun sprint - *Spoilers Below*


Once again AZM showed the fukk out on the big stage. I think she's going to be the next crossover Joshi cause she's cute and she can fly with the best of them. Her and Mayu put on a great little match but my issue is still the time constraints. I know they wrestle fast-paced anyway but just once I'd like to see them get another 5-10 minutes. I also felt it was time to put AZM over. Mayu has held this long enough and AZM is a rising star. C'mon Gedo Lol

They're gonna have to make Shota heel to lean into the crowds response.

And the funny thing is I don't think the Japanese boo their guys.

To me he's gonna need an excursion to humble himself

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

TV title match I mistakenly fast-forwarded through the first few minutes. It seemed to be a solid match. Not mad at the winner.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Now we on EVIL vs. Tanahashi. *Spoilers Below*

Funny how Tana and Cena are both on farewell tours this year. I think the commentary alluded to if Tana loses a match then he retires? So this is the Ric Flair stipulation? I'm unclear on that. Early on this is a lot of smoke and mirrors with Tana's guys and The House heavily involved. Really enjoyed the finishing stretch to this. Tana can still go in short spurts. EVIL decimated him, they threw the kitchen sink at Ace but he pulls it off with a quick small package!

Post-Match. Shibata back in an NJPW ring He's challenging Tana. Crowd eating it up. Lets go
