Yeah and I heard New Japan plans on replacing Kenny Omega as Bullet Club leader with Rhett Titus taking over. Hopefully he gets over in Japan as he'll have a tough time following Omega

Please no. Rhett Titus just doesn't seem like a fit for the Bullet Club. If Omega leaves I think Cody Rhodes would be the best fit to be the new leader. That or make a strong offer to keep him away from WWE a bit konger and make Adam Cole the leader.

Omega:



Really glad he's making his time off make sense. He gave that match everything and came up short so he needs to be off.

They dropped the Cabinet gimmick and are now the Rebellion. Said ROH made them parade around like that and they were tired of it.

Adam Cole or Cody Rhodes is the way to go. Omega himself seems like a step down merely in terms of stature in the industry. Cole has at least been ROH World Champion and Cody is Cody.

Finally got around to seeing the main event. Was great and probably would have been a better overall experience live not spoiled. Was amused I still got had by a couple of Omegas near falls even though I knew he lost.
Ps I always feel the need to mention I've seen several NJPW guys in person when I went to War of the Worlds 2 years ago in Philly.

just watched the main event more or less whole way through.

weird how that bullet club didn't try and attack okada, only helping omega get up, setting up the table, etc.

in wwe they'd be lumberjacking the shit outta him every time the ref looked the other way.

The thing I love the most about the table spot is that the trainers check on Kenny for a couple to seconds, then go and fix the table

I watched Okada/Omega. Good stuff. Omega looked "solid," in the sense that he lived up to the pressure of delivering in a Tokyo Dome main event, which I think is high enough praise (and indeed some of the highest) without being hyperbolic. I completely agree with the SCG team -- I never want to see that Dragon Superplex again. To be honest, the match didn't hold my attention completely throughout its duration. Maybe I just look for different things these days, or because I watched it in isolation and not as the crescendo to the show, but thinking back to it now, I cannot quite put it into order in my mind. But that's fine. I feel like I can say it wasn't a perfect match without being snarky.

I definitely think the right choice was to keep the belt on Okada. I'm not too familiar with the flow of things with Japanese booking, but they seem to treat their "tentpole" victories as being meaningful, and after beating Tanahashi at WrestleKingdom 10, Okada needed to prove that he can be "the guy" and run with the ball. Omega can reflect on the loss and get another title shot, lose that too, then lose to Elgin in Vancouver or something, and eventually either Cole or CODY can kick him out of The Bullet Club and he can be set up as a major babyface without being the A1 guy.

I wonder if they've realized that going balls to the wall isn't going to work with Hirooki Goto, so they've just jammed him into the NEVER Openweight Title scene as his own little niche?

I'm not a big fan of The Young Bucks, but their gimmick with all the belts would have been an easy way to get both sets of IWGP Tag Titles into one place. I agree with Karl in that I don't think you should scrap the divisions, especially with KUSHIDA and Takahashi gaining a lot from the division as singles guys, but I think you can unify the Tag Titles without drumming up too many complaints. It may have meant more to do The Young Bucks vs. Honma & Kojima or something at this show. I dunno, I'm just spitballing there, and you don't want to overcharge every show, but I'll throw it out there.

I like the objective balance of the SCG Radio review. It'll be interesting to see if this good will towards NJPW translates into more New Japan World subscriptions and how their alleged expansion into the United States goes.

Young Bucks would probably get right up from it, superkick the guy and then say suck it and whatever 20 year old catch phrases they weren't even old enough to watch.

It will have diminishing returns too. It will be less and less cool every time you see it. I think it will live on better in the mind as a memory.

I watched this after some guy I know was banging on about it. I didn't really care about watching a good match or not, I'm sure there's been plenty of good moments since I stopped watching wrestling but I've not been tempted to watch.

But he sent me a link to it, and I had a bit of free time so I gave it a go. And there was nothing in it that was new or overly impressive. I dunno, didn't see the big deal with it at all. Like it was fine, but I didn't see anything revolutionary.

I feel like if you stop watching wrestling long enough, it's damn near impossible to get back into it no matter what is presented.

I'm quite certain most of the lapsed fans who came back because they'd heard The Rock was back would've gone right back to not watching even if WMs 27-29 (take your pick) blew everybody's nips off. With wrestling there just seems to be a point of no return in terms of being able to regain total interest.

it looked pretty cool. i mean, the beginning was awful, like 800 armbars or whatever.

but some of those over the rope moves were pretty rad and i'm not usually into it very much.

still, i skipped a lot, because there's no way i could watch 45 or so minutes of a wrestling match. maybe 15 years ago, but not these days.

After watching most of it I imagine if I had been invested in the story leading up to it it would have been one of the best matches ever. Really good drama. I just can't "feel" a match when I'm not emotionally invested in the characters. Unlike with WWE though, it's probably more my fault for not being able to get into New Japan and not their fault for being shitty at building up guys.

I might be in this boat. I don't know if it would be "best matches ever" worthy, but it might have resonated with me more.

I'll say one thing though. The commentary was really good. It wasn't full of annoying characters with annoying catchphrases chatting bollocks to one another. Made it seem like a legit sport.

I liked the commentary more than I would a RAW or SmackDown, and there were two moments where I thought "That was good insight," but apart from that I could have left it.

Thought their banter just as the match was about to begin about the language barrier was "real" and pretty cool.

It was good to at least hear them call action rather than yell at each other, ignoring what's happening.

It was Striker right? He can go on for a bit. He knows his stuff though. Will try to catch JR and Barnett on AXS this week. JR does have a bit of a low-key tone on this stuff now though.

Ross isn't exciting to me anymore. He's whatever. Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino I believe are the commentators.

Maybe he does come as a face to take the title from Suzuki who takes it from Okada, then Okada wins G1 and faces Omega again at the dome next year.
