Give me Claudio Castagnoli taking down LIJ on his own (I want to see Claudio vs. Shingo). I wouldn’t mind CM Punk doing something with David Finlay, KENTA and some Bullet Club guys over there. I dunno, the crossover stuff as it is just doesn’t appeal.

I think MJF is fantastic but I didn't get anything from "The Ace". As someone who doesn't know anything about Japanese wrestling, Tanahashi looked fat and slow. I think that's the problem with this concept for me - like I have no investment in the NJPW wrestlers. Bought the PPV because of Punk. Was interested in Danielson vs Okada (who I recall being their guy for years) and was curious about Omega vs Osprey.
I felt the same way after Danielson/Okada as I did following AJ/Nakamura at WM. It was fine but given my high expectations was somewhat disappointed.
