Gotta admit I love Dave getting asked on twitter questions about Kenny facing Jericho at Mania cause of the Wrestle kingdom match or Bullet Club being in the rumble. Both cause it makes no business sense and also cause we've seen how WWE has handled the Bullet Club so far.

Although Chase Owens should get a main event push if he ever goes to the WWE!

I was also upset in 1994 about star ratings.

Also Flair/Steamboat ratings. Those are also stupid.

I think the key comment was he thought four matches were really great but wouldn't be in the top 10 last year, so ****3/4 is about as good as he'll hand out. Which I'd generally agree with.

US title, IWGP title, NEVER title, Jr Title, Cody/Ibush and Jr Tag Titles in that order seems to be the consensus. Everything on the show is worth watching though.

Thanks, I'll try that order. I just don't know these guys. At least with WWE I know who is worth skipping over based purely on the matchup.

That's in order of quality, so you'd be watching the card itself almost backwards but it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, if you want to end on a high note, just watch the opener, then the Cody match, the NEVER match and then you may as well just watch the last 4 matches.

The NJPW YouTube has translations of the post-match interviews. They come out a few days after, but I guess that's time to edit and subtitle everything. The ones just in English (Jericho/Omega and I think Jay White) came out almost immediately though.

The Okada/Naito one tells the story of the match more explicitly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iNpHV3ZKLc

Juice Robinson in his interview with PWInsider said he got rid of social media simply because it is pointless and will only get you into trouble in this climate.

Thinks Dean Ambrose always had the right idea by holding off having an account for the longest.
Social Media is good when it's handled by someone like Hiromu who endears himself to fans by being weird and funny all the time. All unfunny accounts are trash and especially for public figures they aren't worth the potential drama or outrage.

Bread Club good, Chuck Taylor Real-Time Responses to WK good.

Yeah I think its interesting in retrospect that I don't recall Naito ever saying his dream was to win the championship at the dome, or it was his dream to beat Okada (which he has done anyway). His dream was to main event the dome, and he did it :unsmith:

I'm sure he wasn't happy about losing, but he showed after the Jericho attack that he has no doubts about staying ~TRANQUILO~

This is pretty much made text in the after-match interviews that Artelier posted here.

I assume his promos for the Jericho match will be about how stupid Kenny was to let this old gaijin get him worked up and he'll beat him without breaking a sweat.
