I do love that they're leaning into "there's people caught in the middle of this struggle" with Marty.

And this is also a pretty amazing six-man tag. Chase pulling some real weight.

Also Jesus Kenny and Kota haven't missed a beat

So surely Marty turning on Cody is going to involve Cody telling him to shake his hand, Marty doing it, and breaking his fingers, right

I really love the proper press conference feel NJPW has even if it takes a few days for translations to make it to YouTube. It's just so natural feeling.

Interested to see how the Tongan crew react to "Bullet Club is mine".

They better, I was hoping Marty didn't want to snap Kenny's fingers and they did that.

I had the opposite problem where I kept seeing it started at 6:30, my clock saying 6:3£, and getting mad I couldn't find the stream.

Anyway, some really good matches. Short show though. Beer City Bruiser vs. Goto was as awesome as you expected.

beeyooweep, popping in to say best friends, taguchi, dalton castle, and jay lethal is an absurdly fun combination of wrestlers. also the knife pervert is there.

I find Flip Gordon amusing on BTE, but was it me or did that 3 way kind of do nothing for anyone involved?

he's the OG WACKY INDIE GUY.

Dude is legit crazy. Like with all the benefits and downsides.

He's slowed down a ton since his 2004-2010 period but his body of work is still impressive. He's similar to Quack where he had a hand in training or working with some of the top talents in the US and Canada scenes. Along with Chris Hero, he brought back the idea of standing grappling attacks that look impressive and are actually functional.

People like to bag on him because his booking is tepid as gently caress, which is very true. Terrible booker. No hype, just boring poo poo he clears with Jim Cornette(his spiritual advisor?). Also people act like he invented nepotism in wrestling so there's that too.

BAEST MODE!!!
Delirious was an above average worker with a unique nonsense promo style because he was a lizard man. It ran its course but it's fun to see him once a year.

And Cornette has nothing to do with ROH now. Delirious is boys with Joe Koff, not Cornette.

Marty Scurll was pretty drat over on night 1, thought he got the top pop


Then I saw Kenny and Kota's entrance, holy poo poo. Pretty impressive pop for a smaller show.

Fuckin' A. I hope Kenny wins the strap, then holds it for a bit before losing to Naito to set up Okada (who wins the G-1) gunning for Naito at WK, all with the support of Kenny's roommate Kota.
