    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

    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.

    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

    Kushida vs Marty Scurll
    Flip Gordon vs ACH
    Bone Soldier vs Yoh
    Dragon Lee vs Desperado
    Dragon Lee vs Kushida

    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

    Just got done watching the show.

    Some notable points;
    Will Ospreay is one crazy in ring performer. Outsanding skills. He just amazes me. :sweatt::rejoice:

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    I think Gargano Almas was better than Gargano Ciampa, both 5* classics though
