To read POST Wrestling’s recap of Wrestle Kingdom 16 night one, head over to this link.

The two multi-mans in last night’s show really dragged things down - really don’t see the point in these new matches…apart from ensuring folks who only bought tickets for the second night get to catch a couple of minutes of Shingo? Surely if Cima’s around he could have let T-Hawk and Lindaman play hooky from GLEAT and get in on one of these.
