Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Tetsuya Naito

Working nights, so I'll watch until 6am EST before heading off to bed. My first NJPW experience. Jericho is 100% to thank for this.

Mmmm I got my coffee up, nice and fresh.

Some people wildcard predicting Hogan appears in the Rumble, would be awesome but I highly doubt it. Will be good if there is a good surprise though.

What's the deal with Japanese tables. They have always been devastating.

Aha, they're not paying Hogan money for a pre show Rumble. Scott Norton will be in it and you will like it.

Goddamn right I will.

I hope he is more mobile in the hips than last year.

My body is ready. This is my wrestlemania.

At the moment my body is equal parts, "dude, why did you go to bed hours earlier than usual?" and "dude, why the fuck are you now up after only 4 hours?"

Gotta be quite unreal to be in the main event of this show knowing all of the insanity you will have to follow.

YAY, my Chromecast waits until now to have to install this huge update

Cody... I just really can't stand him. However he's facing Kota Ibushi so I'm totally down. I could see this being a really good match.

Naito v Okada shouldnt have ever the slightest of difficulty. What can possibly top that match on this card?

BTW I am watching from my TV. Purchased through New Japan World, streamed from my laptop to my X-Box One X, picture is perfect.

Well now that you've said that I see that it's kind of the perfect main event for this card. It's the two A+ guys one on one.

Does Jericho have any shot at actually winning the US title?

And the bell rings!

HERE WE GOOOOOOO

Part of me thinks he does.

I think so.

wooooooooooooooooooo

Kitamura is going to be a massive star.

Calling it now.

Dude is jacked and has some charisma huh.

I think they will get 45,000 total. They announced 36,000 presale.

Incredible look. especially for japan, where guys can be big, but typically not THAT big.

Really athletic too, from what I've seen in previous matches.

DELIRIOUS

Delirious!

Delirious has entered the Rumble!

"abba ga do wa da boo da!"

When did he take the boots off? Looks dumb.

kitamuras chop is ridiculous too. hope he does it here.

Makes benoits chops look like ellsworths'

Here comes a fan in a Bullet Club shirt.

BTW I haven't watched NJPW since WK 11.

Someone get Haku's kid some fuggin HGH.

Jesus, Leo is green.

Manabu somehow running at walking speed

Who won last year? Makabe?

Do Young Lions ever skip the learning excursion? If not I'd have to think they'll try to get Kitamura on his soon given his advanced aged. Dude's a beast.

yeaaaaaah kitamura chop

How the fuck did this guy get in NJPW? Chase Owens.

lol ref botch

I think so, I don't think they have iron clad rules on things like that. Plus with Shibata out, they may need to rush.

BLUE FUCKING JUSTICE

He's not bad. Honestly, he's right where he should be as a bullet club lackey

TAKA IS COMING MOTHER FUCKER

TAKA!

yeahhhhhh taka

TAKA IS COMING MOTHERFUCKER

Taka to 205 live

Booooooooo

Oh yeah, Elgin won last year

Taka's face looks exactly like his AKI/THQ counterpart from WWF No Mercy.

Ah yeah now I remember. They kinda wasted him on the Rumble.

Took me forever to get everything working but I got it working..woo

He had just come back from injury so they had nothing really for him. Everyone else was already in matches that had been built up for months

Bring Norton in now and have him squash the suzuki gun midgets

Yup!

Liger Vs. Suzuki-GUN!

Big pop for Liger

LIGERRRRRRRRRRRR

JUSHIN THUNDER LIGER!

I got to see him wrestle like 5 years ago for Chikara at Wrestlecon lol

What an epic event space the Tokyo Dome is.

Fucking insane how good Liger still is.

It's amazing how they make this no stakes match more fun than modern Royal Rumbles.

Tiger Mask entrance music was epic

Come on, can you give me a break? Juicy Gambino?!?

Uh, Big Boy Gambino?

They tried to dump him. They did the big bullet club tour where everyone was booked. Left chase off. Boys paid his air fare and told the office all means all and he's not missed a tour since.

Brodus Clay!

They ripped his mask off those fucking kayfabe killing sons of bitches.

That's insane.

This Samoan caught my attention, he's good.

Hey look, it's the interior designer YOSHI-HASHI

Can not bring myself to care about Yoshi Hashi

He's capable enough, he's just missing "it"

He's a talented dude, but yeah, there's nothing beyond that. Probably needs to go away and find himself ala Naito.

FINLAY!

If you are the size of Dave Finlay and don't show up to Wrestlekingdom with a six pack, what in the fuck are you doing?

Have enjoyed Finlay more and more. Feel like he improved a lot over the last year

It's the Tokyo Pimp....

Wonder if they're saving someone big for the last couple, because this hasn't been as good as last year.

God bless Yujiro for what he brings to the ring

Looks too much like Chris Hero.

She unmasked herself!!

THANK YOU CAMERA MAN

...It's Cheeseburger

oh god

My night is ruined already since I just saw that Larry Dallas got fired from Busted Open..fuck that

That woman is so fucking hot.

fucking hate cheeseburger

Cheeseburger is over

I laugh at him, but man, Cheeseburger is over.

HERE WE FUCKING GO

I like Kojima.

Sick buster

Alright some talent getting in now.

Him and Tenzan are one of my favorite tag teams ever. Just two super pumped hosses running over people like mack trucks.

Takahashi would have been great in ECW.

oh shit kakihara

I don't know this guy but the story seems good.
