Wrestle Kingdom 14

[Evil Vito]

Tombstone on the apron...jesus

[Droford]

that piledriver was bruuuuutal

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy crap at the abuse Ibushi is taking to his neck.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ibushi is going to be a good 1-2 inches shorter in height by the time this match ends.

[Droford]

damn i thought Ibushi had it

[Triple A]

lol wtf

[Evil Vito]

HOW DID HE KICK OUT?!?!

[Evil Vito]

god damn

[Triple A]

Amazing

[Emperor Smeat]

What an amazing match. :( at Ibushi losing though.

Wrestle Kingdom 14 was great and this was just Night 1.

[Evil Vito]

Good luck, tomorrow's show.

[DaveWadding]

Jesus Christ, Okada absolutely had to put him away with Death by Rainmaker.

[slik]

What a match!

[Evil Vito]

If Naito's Destino is to win tomorrow, I'm glad Kota didn't get a one day title reign.

[Droford]

last 5 matches were all great in their own ways.

I cant pick a favorite, but actually a lean to Takahashi/Ospreay

[Droford]

Jesus Christ, Okada absolutely had to put him away with Death by Rainmaker.

death by a million rain drops

[Volare]

God damn Okada.

[Simple Fan]

Did pass out but woke up right before the main event. Going back now to watch the rest. Won't let me put it onto the TV through my tablet.

[Jordan]

I was so tired during the main event I can't really comment on it. I'm gonna watch it again. Really good show. Not the most blow away show but a really good one. Ospreay/Takahashi was a match of a lifetime.

[Evil Vito]

Only now fully setting in that Ibushi's final desperation offense was the V-Trigger, two months after Kenny Omega lost to Moxley in AEW because he went for a Phoenix Splash. That's really, really good.

[Jordan]

IWGP Tag Team Championship FinJuice/G.O.D - *** ... There is something that keeps me from fully investing in G.O.D matches, a certain greeness that doesn't seem like it's going to leave. FinJuice was awesome. Dave Finlay's biggest match yet. He's gonna be something here.

IWGP United States Championship Mox/Archer - *** ... Archer didn't work as well with Mox as he did some of the guys at G1. It was good but I'm not about to get too excited for bridged chair spots. I would've preferred a standard singles match to the Texas Death gimmick.

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship Ospreay/Takahashi - ***** (maybe 6 IDK, I loved it) ... I think this was my favorite Junior match I've ever seen. I didn't want it to end and to to my delight it almost didn't! BOTH THESE GUYS! This was the evolution of the division and the sport itself.

IWGP Intercontinental Championship - **** ... Per usual a slow plodding start and too much Memphis style manager interference but, we should know that going in. It became obvious as the match went on that Naito's story was going to be a focal point of the show. And now after we have an enraged Jay Lethal walking into night 2 to face off with a Kota that went to levels of intensity and darkness we've never seen before. The last 10 minutes were amazing.

IWGP Heavyweight Championship Okada/Ibushi - **** 1/2 ... As usual Okada had to follow a hell of a show, and he delivered as only he can. Other than Okada's new white boots my favorite part of the match was when Ibushi wen't dark and battered Okada nearly getting a dq at one point. Very happy with the result of Okada/Naito to finish this story.

[ClockShot]

Watched this morning. Threw a DiGiorno pizza in the oven, when it was ready, fired up NJPW World, only to see Okada & Ibushi killing each other. And there's no way to start from the beginning, I think, so I waited until it was over, which was around 8ish so maybe a 20 minute wait from end of the show to upload. Not bad. :y:

Fantastic show.

Pretty much everything that happened I/we pretty much knew the outcome with maybe the exception of Okada/Ibushi.

Happy that Okada won. Because now unless Gedo wants a riot on his hands, Naito is pretty much a lock to win the belts. Also, Naito also gets to "Slay the Dragon" and make the moment much better.

Good chance for L.I.J. to clean up tomorrow. Naito's half way there, Hiromu gets the job done, SANADA got a chance to win the RevPro belt.

Tonight is going to be tough to squeeze in. Hopefully I can get into work early tomorrow and blast through night 2.

[Emperor Smeat]

According to Stardom, their dark match at Night 1's show won't be getting uploaded to Stardom World and instead really was just an exclusive match for the live audience.

Meltzer mentioned in a recent Observer Newsletter that this was going to be unlikely anyways due to the rival tv networks for Stardom and NJPW.

[Evil Vito]

Stream up for day 2. Let’s see if I can stay up for the whole thing.

[Triple A]

Pre show at 12, main show at 1 AM?

[Evil Vito]

Yep. Pre-show is a 5-team gauntlet for the 6-man belts

[Emperor Smeat]

Pre show at 12, main show at 1 AM?

Yeup. Just 1 match for the pre-show tonight but doubt lasts beyond 30 minutes. Last year's Gauntlet match ended around the same time.

[Evil Vito]

Liger's final match opens the main card at 1 AM. I will definitely watch that. After that Ill go match by match to decide if I have to tap out and head to bed/watch the rest in the morning.

[Jordan]

Alright I'm on board for tonight. Better time for me than 2am for sure. I was struggling to get through the main event.

[Evil Vito]

Taichi's theme :love:

[Evil Vito]

Didn't hear it enough in his entrance

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Milano being in trance for EVIL and LIJ's entrance.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at BUSHI going head first into the railings.

:lol: another ref count botch during this Gauntlet match.

[Jordan]

Tonight's card feels much more like Wrestle Kingdom than last nights did. Last nights was awesome but it was really just three matches that made it.

[Jordan]

Damn that finish from Takagi was SICK.

[Evil Vito]

Another step toward all of LIJ holding gold.

[Emperor Smeat]

Gauntlet match was pretty good overall.

:lol: at English commentary feed getting abruptly cut shortly after it ended.

[Jordan]

I wish they had content playing right now.

[Evil Vito]

Yay! Something!

[Jordan]

Let's all take a moment to pause and think of ourselves at 14 years old getting an opportunity to stream NJPW Tokyo Dome LIVE on the internet. It's a beautiful evolution. :'(

[Jordan]

One of the reasons I am not a die hard Naito fan is because I don't really care for "Destino", it is like "The Stroke" of finishers to me. Not a true knockout move.

[Droford]

Let's all take a moment to pause and think of ourselves at 14 years old getting an opportunity to stream NJPW Tokyo Dome LIVE on the internet. It's a beautiful evolution. :'(

when I was 14 I was happy enough to get the wcw internet audio only shows working on my slow ass dial up.

[Droford]

Officer Jushin Thunder Liger on the case to stop illegal NJPW event recording

[Jordan]

when I was 14 I was happy enough to get the wcw internet audio only shows working on my slow ass dial up.

:lol: I remember those.

[Jordan]

I remember the first NJPW tape I got was Super J Cup 94 when I was 14. I almost cummed.

[Triple A]

Did they just add the entrance ramp for night 2?

I remember last night they were just walking on dark green mats... unless I wasn't paying attention and the ramp was used in the later matches

[Emperor Smeat]

NJPW caught a break not booking Ospreay in this opening match considering the rumors of him breaking his heel last night.

[Triple A]

Oh no I think the woman who was screaming at ringside directly into a mic for the entire night is there again

[Droford]

Did they just add the entrance ramp for night 2?

I remember last night they were just walking on dark green mats... unless I wasn't paying attention and the ramp was used in the later matches

they used the ramp for the main card. Preshow guys dont get to use the ramp.

[Emperor Smeat]

Did they just add the entrance ramp for night 2?

I remember last night they were just walking on dark green mats... unless I wasn't paying attention and the ramp was used in the later matches

Ramp was there last night. The mat stuff was just them using a difference entrance spot for the pre-show matches.

[Droford]

ryu lee got the roh tv belt..no one cares lol

[Evil Vito]

Minutes away from Jushin Liger's last match ever :(

[Evil Vito]

Liger's mask isn't fully laced up...wonder if it's coming off.

[Emperor Smeat]

NJPW probably should have pushed the ringside railings back more since that's the 2nd time tonight someone boinked their head on it with a dive to the outside.

[Jordan]

Damn. That was it. Good match though!

[Jordan]

NJPW probably should have pushed the ringside railings back more since that's the 2nd time tonight someone boinked their head on it with a dive to the outside.

Part of the thrill!

[Emperor Smeat]

Liger's final retirement match was very good.

:( No more Liger matches.

[Jordan]

Ah shit my stream fucked off and the site says they are too congested.

[Evil Vito]

Same here.

Looks like it’s bed for me.

[Jordan]

Japanese stream is up.

[Emperor Smeat]

New Japan World picked the best time to crash since it was after Liger's match ended.

[slik]

Bye Liger!

[Jordan]

Is everyone's English stream still unavailable?

[Jordan]

The Tokyo Fuck Boys

[Evil Vito]

Even sitting on the couch was making me feel woozy, so there's just no way I was getting through this show tonight. Sleep it is, I'd rather enjoy the show when I'm fully refreshed in the morning. G'night everyone!

[Jordan]

Goodnight Vito.

[slik]

japanese stream since njpw world crashed


http://eawtecho.com/watch/streamy.php?file=ch2

[Jordan]

New Japan World is still up, just not the English stream.

[Emperor Smeat]

Is everyone's English stream still unavailable?

English feed should be back up although I switched to a different site to watch the rest of the show in case New Japan World screws up again.

[Jordan]

I'm sure it won't be for too long.

[Jordan]

I wonder what it would be like actually watching this show with you guys. I bet you guys are weird. Or at least someone would be really weird and ostrasized from the rest of the group and probably not invited to "the next one". (probably Simplefan but he isn't here I don't think)

[slik]

a lot of attractive people in this tag match

[slik]

STD would not be welcome back

[slik]

Triple A probably hogging all the damn guac...

[Emperor Smeat]

Ishimori's face paint makes it look like his sideburns took a detour on his face.

[slik]

English stream online working for some....here's another stream

http://stream-hub.live/combat-sports/njpw-2/

[Jordan]

Triple A would be really focused on the food probably. And I bet he'd end up ordering Uber Eats at some point and end up waiting outside "far too long" when it was about to arrive, just to "get out and have a breather".

[slik]

Dave Wadding would get drunk and take his off shirt off for no reason

[Jordan]

Slik would be quiet during this match.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Gino's "No Children for Anyone Hold" for the nut stomp Tree of Woe.

[slik]

guy looks like E HONDA from Street Fighter game

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy crap at that double German suplex by SHO

[Jordan]

I'd love to see a Sumo that could actually have a good match in NJPW.

[Triple A]

Triple A would be really focused on the food probably. And I bet he'd end up ordering Uber Eats at some point and end up waiting outside "far too long" when it was about to arrive, just to "get out and have a breather".

Trying to figure out what to eat right now......

[slik]

order a pizza!!!

[slik]

Think I am going to go get some stick cheese from the fridge....really sharp vermont cheddar

[Droford]

lol at the cup shot

[slik]

AJ Styles is shook

[Emperor Smeat]

SHO is the smartest wrestler in wrestling. He remembered to wear a cup to counter El Phantasmo's nut punch routine.

Jr tag title match was very good overall.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the dick joke by Gino.

[Jordan]

Trying to figure out what to eat right now......

:lol::lol::lol:

[Jordan]

I am ready for this f'n match! This is going to be exciting wrestling. I can't imagine what I'd think of seeing Zack Sabre Jr. face the legends like Eddie Guerrero when I was a kid. That's a dream match of mine. The work from last night got me really pumped for this. Zack has a quality that you can't get from an American, his work makes up and totally makes sense of his body type. Just and interesting case.

[Jordan]

I would think Sanada wins this championship tonight and works for Rev Pro a lot this year leading to another big arena show like Copper Box in the summer again possibly after G1.

[Jordan]

It's really good that they are unifying the IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships because with the Never Openweight, United States and Rev Pro British Championship... that's a lot.

[Jordan]

Just fuck each other already!

[slik]

My two favorites from NJPW are Sanada and Sabre JR

I don't care who wins

[Emperor Smeat]

It's really good that they are unifying the IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships because with the Never Openweight, United States and Rev Pro British Championship... that's a lot.

The belts are still going to be separate but seems at least for this year, both belts will be on the line for title matches.

According to Meltzer, only reason a double title match is even happening was due to NJPW needing something really interesting to drive ticket sales for 2 nights of Wrestle Kingdom.

[Jordan]

Guys IDK whats up but last night and already tonight Redbull is making me feel a little nauseous. I drank two last night and one so far tonight. I was just rolling on a foam roller and I feel like I puked in my mouth a little and it was just redbull that tasted a little like puke.

[Jordan]

We need to see Zack and Daniel Bryan. Why the fuck did he sign so long with WWE?

[Jordan]

That was a really good match.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ending sequence to Sabre vs. SANADA was great.

[Droford]

juice 2 belts ?

[Jordan]

The best case for everyone here is that Mox gets this belt and gets to champion the NJPW of America shows later this year.

[Jordan]

If they have Mox in the main events they will sell out the smaller venues they have booked for the tour.

[slik]

Let's go JUICE

[slik]

Enjoyed the hell outta Sanada/Sabre Jr, only wish it was longer

[Jordan]

Am I wrong or is this more of a Dean Ambrose match than a Jon Moxley match?

[Jordan]

Loved that powerbomb from Juice, sick bump.

[slik]

You are not wrong

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Juice's hand after his punch to the chair.

[slik]

Don't see Mox use a figure four often

[Jordan]

I love the impact of the ring in New Japan. That superplex into a Jackhammer spot had IMPACT.

[Jordan]

This is a pretty good match that needs a really hot finish.

[Droford]

rip juice

[Jordan]

Wow... okay this is promising. He could always lose it tomorrow at New Years Dash ... we shall see.

[Droford]

uhoh

[Emperor Smeat]

Moxley got some really nice air with the Death Rider.

US title match was good. Last night's title match was way better.

:eek: Suzuki wants Moxley for the belt

[Jordan]

YESSSSS

[GD]

Wasn’t expecting Moxley to retain.

[Jordan]

He's either come to fight or fuck.

[GD]

Oh snap!

[Jordan]

I love this. Crossing my fingers that this is long term booking and not going to be hot shot to New Years Dash tomorrow. They should lead to the final of NJPW of America tour with this as the draw.

[Emperor Smeat]

Everything about that post-match encounter was amazing.

I'd approve Suzuki becoming the king of the United States.

[slik]

Suzuki vs Mox will be good when it happens

[GD]

Haven’t seen KENTA compete in a while.

[Jordan]

Haven’t seen KENTA compete in a while.


I think you'll be surprised.

[Jordan]

It's a shame we didn't get to see Omega/KENTA in NJPW before Kenny left.

[Jordan]

Onto 2nd redbull.

[Jordan]

I feel like Goto would really get over in the US if they put him on the tours.

[slik]

Wish Great Khali would come out right and make this a triple threat

[Triple A]

Kenta had easily the most boring match at the Hammerstein Ballroom show... Lots of people started booing :-( Hope this match is better...

[Emperor Smeat]

Goto vs KENTA was great and one hell of a stiff match.

[Jordan]

Oh man that was intense. I loved the ending. I wish KENTA would have won but perhaps he will move onto another path.

[Triple A]

That was cool

[Emperor Smeat]

Bullet Club soo far has been the biggest losers of Wrestle Kingdom this year.

[Jordan]

Would it be so hard to add subtitles to the English broadcast where necessary??!

[Jordan]

Ah they moved G1 to the Autumn because of the Olympics. Good call.

[slik]

OssMan's favorite wrestler Jay White about to strike

[Emperor Smeat]

G1 Climax in October this year should be very interesting.

NJPW is going to have a lot less time for the post-G1 IWGP and case winner defenses because of the Olympics pushing the tournament back in the year.

Edit: Nevermind, the tournament starts in September and ends in mid-October. Still less time than usual NJPW will have afterwards.

I read that WWE is planning to make an offer to Jay White. That Vince likes him a lot.

[Jordan]

OMG it looks like he actually bent the barricade.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Ibushi

[Droford]

I read that WWE is planning to make an offer to Jay White. That Vince likes him a lot.

Baron Corbin better watch his back

[Jordan]

That is a fantastic adaptation of the tombstone piledriver.

[Jordan]

I'm really liking this match.

[slik]

Jay White would be lost in WWE...just another talented guy in a pool of bad booking...

[Emperor Smeat]

Psycho Ibushi returned

[Jordan]

I'd really love to see Gedo abandon Jay White for Kota turning both of them.

[Jordan]

Oh my god what a lariat! I LOVE this crazy angry Kota.

[Jordan]

Somewhere Kenny Omega watches this match with an average sized boner.

[slik]

kota lands on his neck so much

[Jordan]

kota lands on his neck so much

Please don't become a Kota's neck nerd.

He's got insane traps that take the brunt me think.

[slik]

ow @ rope slip

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy crap at the Super Uranagi

[Jordan]

OMG uranagi off the top! Totally off the script I think too.

[Emperor Smeat]

kota lands on his neck so much

He's going to shrink by another 1-2 inches after tonight.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the blatant ref bump spot

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: two Psycho Ibushi moments tonight

[Jordan]

LOL "He's killed him.... he's killed him".

[Droford]

poor ref

[Droford]

jay white wins..zzz

[slik]

Gedo is a damn jezebel

[Emperor Smeat]

Yikes at White chucking the chair at Ibushi's head

[Jordan]

Man that was a good fuckin' match. I can totally take seeing Jay White and Kota Ibushi wrestle like 3 more times through the year.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ibushi vs White was very good and maybe even better than White's match last night with Naito

[Droford]

fat bobby the brain heenan on commentary down to the bow tie

[Jordan]

Ibushi vs White was very good and maybe even better than White's match last night with Naito

For me it was.

[Jordan]

Time for The Painmaker BITCH.

hoping for aew njpw deal....

Fozzy has a new lead if they need it

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at this video package for Tanahashi & Jericho

[Droford]

LOL what if Tanahashi wins and gets the title shot before AEW's #1 ranked John Moxley
does

j/k Jericho wins

[DaveWadding]

I totally forgot this match was happening. Damn.

[Droford]

not actually wearing the AEW belt

but dragon Lee got to wear the roh tv title earlier

scratch that, under his shirt

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Jericho's music label didn't let him get to use Judas for his theme tonight despite telling them to allow it after the last time this happened to him in NJPW

[Jordan]

THERE IT IS!

[Emperor Smeat]

LOL what if Tanahashi wins and gets the title shot before AEW's #1 ranked John Moxley
does

j/k Jericho wins

Tanahashi mentioned before he wouldn't want the title shot right away, just whenever Jericho traveled to Japan next time.

[Jordan]

LOL @ Jericho's physique. He's ... imposing.

[slik]

crowd awake af

[Jordan]

Beautiful springboard dropkick from Jericho. As good as ever.

[GD]

Did they acknowledge Jericho’s title?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Jericho calling Gino a fat ass.

Don't think Jericho realizes he's only a few more pounds away from being Gino's size belly-wise

[Jordan]

Jericho is really on his A game tonight.

[Droford]

Jericho took out the english commentary

[Jordan]

Did they acknowledge Jericho’s title?

Yes and he wore it to the ring.

[GD]

That’s pretty dope.

[GD]

Jericho took out the english commentary

They’re back lol

OHHHHH SHIT! WOWWWWWWW! Jericho BABAYYYYYY!

Wow! Wasn’t expecting Jericho to win.

now everyone's gonna be pissed

Jericho will win

All that means is Jericho wins

Wow! Wasn’t expecting Jericho to win.

hmm

[DaveWadding]

BIG MATCH MOTHERFUCKER NAITO IS HERE

[Emperor Smeat]

Night 2's crowd being around 10k less than yesterday's show is a bit surprising.

Yesterday's card did look more interesting although a lot of that had to do with tonight's card having three question marks going into this weekend.

[GD]

Naito looks disheveled.

[Jordan]

Jericho and Tanahashi might be his (Jericho's) best match in New Japan.

[Droford]

Night 2's crowd being around 10k less than yesterday's show is a bit surprising.

Jericho not a draw

[Jordan]

I feel like both of these guys HAVE to win this match.

[Droford]

i feel like no way Okada loses and I want Naito to win but it wont happen

[Jordan]

I didn't say it last night but I love the white boots for Okada.

[Droford]

what if this pulls a 60 minute draw?

[Emperor Smeat]

what if this pulls a 60 minute draw?

They play a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to determine who gets to take which belt home.

Probably will start laughing if this did end in a draw making the whole double champion stuff meaningless in the end.

[slik]

Everyone wants Naito to win but I'm rooting for Okada

[Jordan]

what if this pulls a 60 minute draw?

I've been thinking the same thing.

I don't know how smart that would be but... I could see it.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Naito's knee

[slik]

For some reason this match is giving me Andre vs Hogan vibes

[Jordan]

Next phase, finisher kickouts and reversals.

[Jordan]

OH MY F U C K I N G GOD! (top rope poison rana)

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy shit at Okada landing square on his head from the Super Poison Rana

[Jordan]

That was the closest to a 3 ever. OMG what insanity.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Kevin Kelly almost losing his voice from the Destino spot

[DaveWadding]

Naito landed on his neck selling the dropkick

[Jordan]

This is a classic.

[slik]

Okada the BEST heel!

[slik]

This is a classic.


An all-time classic!

[DaveWadding]

I was ready to celebrate. Fuck

[DaveWadding]

ASFHDCJJDFJKLYUKBCBK

[Droford]

i was wrong..oops

[DaveWadding]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[DaveWadding]

NAITO FUCKING 2 BELTS

[Jordan]

That was worth staying up for. Amazing show. Amazing main event. What a match. I loved it. It was an all time classic.

[Emperor Smeat]

:D NAITO WON

That match was amazing and way better than the one they had a couple years ago at Wrestle Kingdom

Whole show was also very good overall. Night 1 was better of the two nights but tonight had some pretty great matches.

[slik]

MOTY candidate in the first week

[DaveWadding]

2 BELTS

8 STARS

EL INGOBERNABLE CABRON

[DaveWadding]

I'm glad tonight started earlier than Night 1. 100 percent worth it to be completely conscious for this.

[Droford]

lol kenta "you son of a bitch"

[slik]

Kenta is a damn jezebel

[Droford]

I'm glad tonight started earlier than Night 1. 100 percent worth it to be completely conscious for this.

also nice of them to not cut out early

[Droford]

commentary laying it on thick "thats complete bullshit"

[Emperor Smeat]

That post-show ending was amazing.

KENTA's heel run in NPJW has been great

[DaveWadding]

LMAO for all the badasses in LIJ, BUSHI is the one coming out to save the new champ?

[slik]

And Wrestle Kingdom 14 ends, possibly the biggest show in New Japan's history, with a heel doing heel things

[Emperor Smeat]

LMAO for all the badasses in LIJ, BUSHI is the one coming out to save the new champ?

Maybe the rest of LIJ was too busy with the sweet catering NJPW got for the show.

[Droford]

night 1 better than night 2 overall but better overall match was Naito/Okada tonight but all in all a good like, 8 1/2 hours of wrestling, cant really find many faults.

[Droford]

Maybe the rest of LIJ was too busy with the sweet catering NJPW got for the show.

playing with that spinny light thing

[Triple A]

Damn, accidentally fell asleep at the start of the Jericho match and woke up for like the last 15 mins of the main event... which was cool... wanted to see Jericho though, damn

[Jordan]

Interesting how perception is...

The general opinion is that night 1 was the best of the two and Okada/Ibushi was one of the best matches of all time.

I enjoyed night one but honestly I was so tired when Kota/Okada started I just didn't connect to it. I did rewatch it but I already knew who won so I wasn't very invested. Kind of unfortunate experience.

For me night 2 was a much better show overall. I'd say Naito/Okada was one of the best matches I've seen. I loved the story of the match and the execution. Also night 2 had Jericho/Tanahashi which as well for me was awesome. And then there was Okada/White which for me was better than either of their matches the night before.

Great Dome show, has to be the best one ever because it was two great shows.

[Jordan]

Anyone have a prediction for Jericho at New Years Dash?

[Volare]

Him and Jay White would be interesting.

[Evil Vito]

Just wrapped up the show. So glad I waited til the morning to watch when I was fully refreshed and conscious.

Incredibly good show.

-SHO and YOH are so friggin' good...as great as their tag matches are I really hope they can branch out into singles soon, SHO in particular is money.

-Popped SO hard for Suzuki's theme hitting after the Mox win. Cannot wait for that match.

-lollllllllll Goto being a massive choke artist 95% of the year just so he can be unstoppable in the Dome. Story of his career.

-In hindsight I shouldn't have been surprised that Jericho won. Yeah they added the AEW title stip in place there was an actual working agreement between the companies, I'm sure the news would've leaked by now. Hopefully with time they'll get there.

-Naito/Okada had me at the edge of my seat. So glad Naito got his moment.

-lollllllll Goto wins at the Dome only for his opponent to vault higher than him in the pecking order.

[DaveWadding]

For all your criticism of Goto, what New Japan is actually textbook how you can take a title off someone and still elevate them. Instead of "oh hey, I lost this title, I'm just gonna fight for a different one now."
