| TJ's (totally incorrect) ratings: I Didn't see the Tiger Mask match or the Jr Tag Titles Trios Title Gauntlet - ***1/2 ( ) Cody/Juice - *** (Crowd doesn't seem to like Cody too much) Cole/Kyle - ** (Didn't their first match go like twice as long?) Tag 3-Way - *** (Match was solid, finish was meh) Jr. HW Title - **** (Good match, but got majorly overshadowed) Goto/Shibata - ****3/4 (Brutal a'f, really good match. Not quite as good as the next two) Tana/Naito - ***** (Would be MotY any other year) Kenny/Okada - ***** (No, seriously, the last three matches were all that good.) |

New Japan Rumble
I met Billy Gunn at Wales Comic Con. My hand hurt for hours after I shook his. Oh Bullet Club is still a thing? This PERFECTLY LEGAL video keeps saying "music has been altered due to copyright" swear to God if I don't get Goto's theme, there will be moaning. I'm assuming this is the equivalent of the Wrestlemania pre-show battle royal. The "we'll put you in this so at least you're on the card in some fashion" match. Liger's elimination is actuall...not an elimination. My mistake, but nice spot. I thought Tiger Mask pinned him during that Surfboard. Yoshi Tatsu's current theme is not as fun as his WWE one and I am sad now. Oh, he was injured, I just remembered, good to see him back. He might have been back for ages, I don't know, but it's good to see him anyway. The "we are are going to take turns hitting each other very hard" thing is my favourite of all things. Ooh, Scott Norton. Scott Norton killed a man with a powerbomb. No more Norton. Oh, the commentators just said this is the pre-show. Dammit I could have skipped this.

Tiger The Dark vs. Tiger Mask W
Fucking furries. But seriously, this is based on an anime? Cool. I know that's not a new thing in Japanese wrestling, but still cool. Tiger Mask W's theme is awesome. Pretty solid stuff. Obviously there to plug the anime, but enjoyable enough.
**1/2
Young Bucks vs. RPG Vice
I think Trent Barretta may have broken himself. I honestly don't think I've seen a one on two hurricanrana before. The finish to this is actually really good. Completely unexpected.
***
NEVER Openweight Titles Match
I liked Bullet Clubs entrance. Excellent...um...choreography. I always like these multi-man matches with lots of flips, and then one huge dude going around running into people. Oh, these are those Los Ingobernables that seem super popular on the Twitter. Oh shit, Finlay's son. There aren't enough tag team gauntlet matches. It's a cool idea. Damn, Ricochet is good. Good match. Some really cool action, and good character work for Los Ingobernables, which I have copied and pasted twice now.
***
Cody vs. Juice Robinson
I'd completely forgotten CJ Parker was ever a thing. Juice's screaming is funny. His voice is so high pitched. Juice does absolutely nothing for me. This match is a thing that exists.
**
Kyle O'Reilly vs. Adam Cole
With this and the Kelly/Corino commentary team, I could almost forget I'm watching NJPW. This is solid stuff, and I like how the title actually changed here, but something about the match left me cold. Like, it was good, but I didn't feel invested in it at all. Usually I can drop in to a company like NJPW once or twice a year, and I can "get" the matches, what they mean and all that. This didn't have that.
***
IGWP Tag Team Title Match
OH SHIT ITS ISHII I LOVE ISHII This match has a lot of people hitting each other very hard and I like it. I need for there to be a Toru Yano chant to the tune of that Magic song. Guerrilas of Destiny look like the worst band ever. This was a lot of fun.
***1/2
Kushida vs. Himoru Takahashi
The story throughout this match and the action is great. Really good counters. There was one dodgy bit where Takahashi came off the top, and Kushida was holding the rope, looked a bit messy. That roll up off the top rope though.
****
Shibata vs. Goto
THE THEME This is just the sort of match I like. Stiff shots, heavy landings from suplexes. The crowd picking up when Goto goes into his desperation strikes is great. I actually love Goto.
****1/2
Naito vs. Tanahashi
Naito reminds me of Richard Hammond. I think it's the hair. Naito's trollface is great That High Fly Flow to the outside connected beautifully. Tanahashi just landed Naito on the top of his head with a Switchblade Great match.
****1/2
Okada vs. Omega

| I watch the whole with the English commentary, really enjoyed it. Really have no issues with any of the matches. I love the tag team match with all the swearing, that was awesome. Omega and Okada calling right now match of the year, WK 11 Show of the year. This wasn't the greatest match I have ever seen like a lot of marks in the business are saying, but it is going to be hard for any company to top this match. I think tho the most scary spot was the spot where Kenny went through the table. That Raised platform shit has to go, it's what fucked up Rick Rude and if Kenny had over shot that table it could have been Kenny's last match. Also Steve was right when Okada took that suplex and landed on his neck. " He is going to remember this day when he has neck fusion surgery." |
