It's not that kind of test.

Here's how I know Dave Finlay kind of sucks


He picked a fight with Dolph Ziggler :laffo:

I got mildly excited at the prospect of the Zigglers in the tag team division, but Finlay vs. Nic doesn't do much for me.

That's because Finlay IS orders of magnitude below both Mox and Ospreay.

I have to admit I was kinda shocked Will ate the pin rather than Mox and that Mox had the visual pin.

ospreay is leaving and mox is likely still doing stuff with njpw

So aside from the KoPW four-way NYD is a mystery, right? We got some big changes last year with TMDK and J4G, but the previous few years were less exciting.

Maybe we'll get some movement with Will being on the way out of the United Empire?

I'm kind of sad I won't be able to watch live because the new match-by-match NJPW World replay system will ruin the surprise matches.

I just started watching and came here to talk about how fun it actually made the rambo this year. Just really fun to see him come out and then the spots were actually good!

Yeah the Rambo was better than usual, partly because a lot of the guys in it were good enough to be on the main card. :smith:

So, Danielson and Moxley vs. who in a tag match tonight?

Also seeing them live and joining in booing them I think I finally get House of Torture. They work as a live building act that's fun too boo. It doesn't work on TV at all but in the dome it was fun to boo them when it looked like they were gonna rob Naito

Continuing my thoughts, Clark Connors is still so great.

Moloney, respectfully.

Is TJP any good yet? Otherwise having them lose is a bummer but also it's not like I'm watching NJPW lately. Sorry, I know it's good now but the covid slog was too much. I was really sad at the time.

Chris is right, more socialist wrestling presidents. Fun match! Love Tanahashi, go Ace! Good job booking yourself to win a title President Ace.

Now I'm watching some young lions if I remember right who are wearing weird outfits? Something seems wrong. Why are they using so many moves? Pretty good though. Fun match!

Edit: Shota I love you. Magical girl Elvis gear "The Roughneck". Also I have no idea how the feelings are on House of Torture but I've got to be honest their entrance is the grandiose poo poo love from NJPW and I'm really enjoying this match. I have always been an EVIL mark though and I just like stupid things.

catch 2/2 has been fantastic ever since their inception and i was not high on tjp's stuff in new japan before that. this match wasn't much which is fine for a short opener but i hope he's not continuing this gimmick beyond this.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!

Osprey is still going to work some dates for them and I'd imagine that they'll do the same thing this year with regards to a rematch at Forbidden Door. Forbidden Door 3 could see some kind of Finlay/Osprey match. Maybe a 3 way with Aussie Open assuming Davis is healed by then.

I'd expect some kind of United Empire/Callis Family split (which is why turning Sammy back was a bad idea, even before the Hausman stuff made the Jericho match a disaster)
