Well I’m late to the party, woke up later than I had hoped. Made it up to the rev pro title match trying to catch up to you guys.
I’m not sure I agree. The thing about doing rapid fire shows as NJPW usually does is that, unless it’s a blowaway match, you forget it as soon as the next one starts. Ospreay v Ibushi was excellent, ZSJ v Ishii was good, GOD/Bucks/LIJ was a fun sprint - but the speed of the show has made the rest of the show entirely forgettable IMO.
If Okada called Jay White a tougher foreigner than Jericho that has to be the start to the next feud
Whoever writes the short descriptions on twitter, to explain the trending tags, finally added this for #njwk13 “People stay up through the night to watch wrestling from Japan” - as if the twitter staff are surprised that such a thing happens.
Okada is a rock star. What an ovation.
I was just coming to write, they love him in there
Wow legit upset, that was great
Wow unexpected win for Jay White
Man I told myself White was winning until I saw Okada. I GOT WORKED
Rewarding move to bring him back in full form only to then pull the rug out from under. And it was clean. Teased the chair but didn’t use it. Really gets Jay White over. Maybe should have seen it coming that back to back losses to the top two guys at WK would hold him back for a while.
Tremendous back and forth with Don Calis, Charlton and Kelly there. Commentary has been great IMO
Jericho is wearingthe Buddy Rose bod.
Finally got up to the Jericho/Naito match… it helps skipping all the stuff except the matches.
LIJ BABYYYYYYYYYYYY
Shocked Jericho got to kick out of the destino another great match
Best technical match Jericho has had in New Japan (the portions in ring at least)
Omega and Tana time!!!
Omega seemed super emotional coming out for his entrance.
Bump of the night.
That was amazing
