And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Sometimes you are hit by the rubber chicken and sometimes you are the thrower.

Congrats Rarity you did it :) faith is rewarded.

Just 5 guys is astoundingly lame, Taichi and Sanada and 3 incredibly lame other dorks.

Holy poo poo makeover Sanada peeling back to reveal the handsomeness that he hid under the worst hair imagineable. What a hunk! Hopefully he'll be a great champ!

The women's 3 way was also great, Tag match was great, good night of wrestling!

Fun to compare that to when they lost of Bishamon in the WTL finals last year where Davis is in actual tears because they don't know if they'll be booked in New Japan going forward:

gently caress, maybe Okada and Tana do win the Strong tag titles and just spend a year mainly doing the US shows and peppering in appearances on big Impact, ROH or AEW shows.

Okada is too important to business in Japan. They are just starting to see gates pick up. I think he's probably gonna work with the young guys for a bit and give room in the ME for a few months

Finished Sakura Genesis, and for the first time since Wrestle Kingdom I'm actually up to date with New Japan shows, though I have basically just been watching the recommended matches from the MOTY thread and not really been paying much attention aside from the Sanada angle. Some thoughts/questions on Sakura Genesis:

- Overall show was pretty darn excellent, barely any bad stuff *cough*HoT*cough*
- The opening lethal lottery-type match was surprisingly enjoyable, between this match and the rando card after WK that gave us Okada teaming with Kenny I wouldn't mind seeing this happen more, not necessarily just in New Japan but elsewhere as well.
- Not that I didn't already know this from their appearances in AEW in ROH, but Aussie Open are loving awesome. Had no idea they were this over with the crowd though.
- David Finlay. Is that really the best Bullet Club can do these days? I guess I should probably be somewhat rooting for him since he's a sorta-German wrestler, but man, leadership going from Prince Devitt to AJ Styles to Kenny Omega to Jay White to now David Finlay? That feels like such a major step down that even the BC off-shoot in Impact looks more legit.

Women's three way waaaas loving awesome. Does, uh. Does Stardom have English commentary?

Main event was good, but Charlton put me in a really bad mood when he said some poo poo about how oh, no, the Skull End is totally a neck crank, only Bad Faith Actors call it a Dragon Sleeper. That's like Corey Graves levels of being completely full of poo poo and it really got on my nerves and I wanted Sanada to lose out of spite at that point.

But hey, he has a real finisher now, so for once I wasn't just rolling my eyes in the finishing stretch of a Sanada match, soooooo good for him, I guess.

STARDOM has only had English commentary for a handful of big shows. All Star Grand Queendom on the 23th will have Kevin and Chris. It'll be STARDOM's biggest show ever and the card looks great.

It'll be live on PPV (purchase not yet available but usually 3000 to 4000 yen) and posted around 4 days later on Stardom World which is 920 yen per month.

It wasn’t on World in Japan because it was airing on TV ASAHI. No idea when Japanese commentary will be up on World
