    Just finished Okada vs Ospreary

    4.5

    They don't have the best chemistry with eachother and I feel both together should be able to have a better bout but then I just laugh because my expectations of quality in NJPW is so unbelievably high that it has me criticizing and being disappointed in a 4.5* match

    Alright, I figured out Okada/Ospreay. They still paced the match like it was going 30-40+ minutes and it ended just as I thought they could have taken it to the next level. A bit too much mirroring and mat work for the match to be as great as it could be in that time limit.

    Mysterio's injury only takes a couple weeks to heal and the Liger match is still on :emoji_heart:

    edit

    Okada & Yoshi-hashi vs Ibushi & Chase Owens - 3.75
    Juice Robinson vs Yujiro Takahashi - 4
    Michael Elgin vs Ishii - 4.75

    Forgot how good Elgin is. Juice match was a big surprise. Only got Taichi/Tanahashi to look forward to tomorrow but night 3 with Naito/ZSJ and Yoshi-hashi/Ibushi should be great.

    Night 2

    Tanahashi/Taichi - 4.25

    Night 3

    Ibushi/Yoshi-hashi - 4.25
    ZSJ/Naito - 4.25

    Oh wow this episode was incredible. Probably top 10 all time.

    So why did Brandi kiss Kenny at the end? What was the point

    I know they hinted at romance angle between them months ago but sort of dropped it out of nowhere unless I'm just missing something??

    You're missing (me too lol) the ROH PPV from Friday. The clip was from when Omega interfered during the Matt Taven/Cody match. She started saying she knew Kenny was a fraud, asking him if he really loved Ibushi. She took him kissing her back as Omega just pretending to be gay. The kiss from Cody to Ibushi in their tag match was another test. Did an angle with Cody and The Bucks at the TV tapings the next day to tease tension before their Strong Style Evolved match.

    Which reminds me, @Sign Language @Raziel the Supercard of Honor card is out. Thought one of you were going.

    Omega/Cody
    Ibushi/Hangman
    Ishii/Punishment Martinez
    The Young Bucks & Flip Gordon vs Daniels/Kazarian/Scorpio Sky (Ladder Match)
    Marty Scurll/Dalton Castle (ROH Title)
    Kenny King/Silas Young (Last Man Standing Match)

    Tanahashi is also supposed to be there.

    @Pinhead card looks solid. Wouldn’t mind seeing Scurll as champion.

    If anybody wants to study how to get guys over, look at Juice and ZSJ in the New Japan Cup this year. Pretty phenomenal seeing the reactions pre-tournament to now, even though Juice was already hot from G1 and the Omega match. He doesn't feel as out of place in a main event as he did before. Zack is just phenomenal and the way they're working these matches, he could be huuuuge for New Japan. The people who say he's too small or geeky to be a threat sure as f--- aren't watching his matches.

    ZSJ/Ibushi - 4.5
    Tanahashi/Juice Robinson - 4

    Gotta be real, all the tag matches are a blur at this point lol.

    edit

    Sabre/Sanada was so great. Y'all sleepin'.

    just posting this as a reminder than AJ vs Okada at Dominion 2015 is the most underrated 5* match ever and this is the best ending sequence in the history of pro wrestling
