So was that Ziggler leaving WWE and them just giving him the US title as a parting thank you?
Anyway, I'm going to do a bit more of my WCW Network stuff. Starrcade 1985, and some chap called Magnum T.A. is rocking a fabulous head of hair and a cracking moustache.
EDIT: Also, WCW really loved them some multiple cage matches per show action.
Even by their own lofty standards some of the stuff WWE have booked referees to do in the last few weeks has been absolutely pitiful.
@Queenslander, are you ready for this?
Im not really keen on the multi man Tags.
Naito v Okada
Omega v Jericho
4 way Juniors
Suzuki v Goto
Cody v Ibushi
Is what to look out for if one was new to NJPW.
Are you a fan @7om?
Book face probably doesnt have streams for this
One day the Young Bucks will make great promoters but Im pretty dead inside when comes to their matche s.
There are worse ways to open a show.
Yeah you are right Im just being precious.
ZSJ
Juice Robinson is wasted here
And Ishii
I'm watching Japanese Wrestling too boys!
Bucks and Cody both didnt use the Bullet Club entrance...
Book face for anyone not on NJPW.
Main event quality that one.
EDIT: I guess setting up Omega v Ibushi as well.
Another main event quality match.
Davey Boy Smith Jr looks just like his Dad
I like that Suzuki holds the loose cunt title.
And now Marty is without a Bullet Club entrance.
Probably should rename this thread The Ultimate NJPW Thread
Kiwi v Tanahashi is my piss wreck break.
Jay White is not ready.
Yuck
Dad bod Jericho is kinda out of place here.
He's the best, slapping the ref because why not, taking pictures of himself flipping off the crowd. Proper heat.
Yeah, Y2J has been pretty entertaining.
He is a great heel, I.mean he isnt what Im used to.in NJPW main event.
Naito might be winning this.
Fuck me I put my missus kids on Naito winning.
Edit: Okada is our Flair at this stage.
Fairplay, the counter into a tombstone was pretty great.
How do you rate that PPV in your eyes @Disco?
And to think those Melbourne City Wrestling cunts had Okada there late last year. Grrr
Really good, the 4-way match was brilliant as were the last two, I missed the Suzuki match which I shall go back and rewatch. Put it this way, it would have taken WWE all weekend to put that many matches on and all year to put on as many matches of that quality, pleased I switched my sub.
I recommend Cody v Ibushi and the Heavy Weight tag match as well.
Tune in tomorrow night because they start new fueds for the next 6 months or so.
I somehow forgot Cody / Ibushi, that was great. I'll be watching most of it again at the weekend when my wrestling friend is free.
That was... amazing.
And I have to disagree on Jay White. I thought he looked like a star in the making out there. Tonight was also the first time I have watched Kenny Omega and not thought he was a twat. I just wish he was serious more often.
Top to bottom, a brilliant show. Tomorrow night will sure be interesting.
I was pretty drunk last night so decided to watch Jay White again and you are right.
Also Gedo is a genius with how he slowly builds up the Young Boys/Lions.
This bloke is going on excursion to America this year.

Omega and Jericho's press conference. Y2J is easily the best heel when he controls his own promo.

Jay White vs Kenny Omega then.
Brilliant stuff. Can’t wait to see what they can do together. I wonder as well if this is leading to Omega leaving the BC. They’re teasing it, anyway.
Jericho - Naito... Holy shit. Amazing.
Yeah, I watched the Jericho match this afternoon and I think it's one of three or four I've seen of his, this being the first outside PWG and being comfortably my favourite. Still thought it somehow felt like a slow burn despite the early big spots but it built up to a good finish.Originally Posted by 7om
I don't think I'll bother watch all the matches but there are another two or three I'll have a look at.
Fuck being the woman who had to translate all that only for Jericho to blow off half the questions.
I realise I am the worst kind of fan boy but either Suzuki v Goto or Naito v Okada is well worth a look.
I would recommend Ibushi / Rhodes and the 4-Way, if you like those then watch Suzuki / Goto and Okada / Naito. It's definitely a different pace and style though which can be jarring.
Shit now I forgot about the Cody v Ibushi match. I dont understand how people are saying last years Wrestle Kingdom was a better card? WK12 is easily the best PPV i have seen with adult eyes.
Absolutely, start to finish was high quality. I don't think there was one match that I didn't enjoy, although I missed the Rumble.
And Gedo has managed set up new fueds no one ever thought possible this time last year.
I really hope they put Jay White, Cody and Jericho (big ask for Jericho but him carrying the briefcase would be amazing) in this years G1. And we have the New Japan Cup in a couple of Months. Will Ospraey will no doubt finish the year as a Heavy Weight annnnd we have Sanada and Evil to be put back as Heavy Weight singles.
Last year was easily the best year of high quality wrestling but it feels the this year could top that.
The bloke i most want from the WWE is KO.
Just seen on Twitter that Okada has introduced Jay White as a member of Chaos. Disappointed with that as I thought he would do better as a loner. Oh well.
It is strange because Will Ospraey is Okada's right hand man. Maybe Ospraey commiting to Australia and New Zealand is part of that booking?
EDIT: Okada has promised to bring Chaos back to Melbourne as well.
