Jun 10, 2018 No way that I'm going to make it through Okada/Omega 4 tonight. I'll watch Naito vs Jericho and then I'm passing out
Jun 10, 2018 On the topic of the WWE morons who come out of the woodwork after every big New Japan match that gets buzz, Shawn Michaels said this about NXT. "It's fascinating. I remember the old timers telling us we were going too fast, and these guys are taking it to a whole new level. I tell them not to be scared of it, you have to encourage them." So glad he's an agent in NXT and HHH also sees that if even if it's not always the wrestling that he likes or grew up with, it gets over. Find a hotter WWE crowd than during the ladder match, Gargano vs Almas/Ciampa, Bate vs Dunne, etc. These are matches that would never be allowed (or could) happen before the last few years. It's not possible to not see Omega/Okada as a great match unless you just want to talk modern wrestling down. It's one thing if watching the juniors or American indie guys k--- each other and do every move in the book isn't your thing, so why can't they just say that? If they prioritize the spectacle and million dollar production with weekly storylines, then just admit it. These people make themselves look so stupid. I can't even wrap my mind around the psychology comments after last night. It's a word that clearly has no meaning anymore. Some guy tweeted at Dave saying it was an exhibition of moves. Are you kidding me? Anyway, caught up on Super Juniors finally. Just gonna lump Dominion and some other random matches in here too. Spoiler 5 Omega/Okada Jericho/Naito 4.75 Hiromu vs Bone Soldier Hiromu vs Ospreay Ospreay vs Matt Riddle (ScrapperMania 4) 4.5 Hiromu vs Dragon Lee Hiromu vs Desperado Ospreay vs Bone Soldier Keith Lee vs Ishii (RPW) 4.25 Ospreay vs Yoh Ospreay vs ACH Hiromu vs Marty Scurll Sho vs Dragon Lee Sho vs Kushida Hiromu vs Taguci Hiromu vs Kushida 4 Kushida vs Marty Scurll Flip Gordon vs ACH Bone Soldier vs Yoh Dragon Lee vs Desperado Dragon Lee vs Kushida The Young Bucks vs Evil & Sanada Hiromu vs Sho Also re-watched Omega/Tanahashi and Ibushi vs Okada. Just fantastic.
Jun 10, 2018 I know I'm late but I just finished watching the okada vs ospreay match and it was very entertaining. I loved the slow build up to the action
Jun 10, 2018 Just got done watching the show. Some notable points; Will Ospreay is one crazy in ring performer. Outsanding skills. He just amazes me. Jericho.. GOAT as always. Knows how to stay innovative. As far as the main event goes... those are the kind of wrestling matches that make you love wrestling. The kind of matches that make you wish and want to be a wrestler some day. Each match they have is better than the previous one and they keep breaking the scale. Screw WWE, NJPW is the place to Be.
Jun 11, 2018 There's only 3 matches that are MOTY worthy for me and those are Kenny/Okada IV Johnny Gargano/Andrade Cien Almas @ Takeover Johnny Gargano/Tommaso Ciampa in that order
Jun 11, 2018 I still dont see how they let gargano/ciampa tear it down the way they did but their main shows s--- so hard
Jun 11, 2018 I'm such a fan of Cody. Amazed by how he found himself and evolved. In terms of Character, he's better than most guys that are in the WWE, heck I'd go even as far as saying all of them. I've said this numerous times before, he's got it all.
Jun 11, 2018 Because HHH runs NXT and knows what the fans want at the end of the day, he has a little pull on the main roster, but not much
