This is the face of a winner. This is what winning looks like.
Also, the post match stuff is on NJPW World. Spoiler, Chris Jericho is still one of the best promos of all time.

Well, they did just wrestle Naito, Sanada and EVIL across two matches, but that might be too obvious a thing to rehash.

And the ship may have sailed by that point.

What if Super Smash Bros. and Mike Bailey board the ship as passengers and just happen to accept an open challenge?

I'd actually like a Ultimate Deletion-esque web series where Super Smash Bros. and Mike Bailey challenge teams to sail out and fight them on international waters

Kenny's come so far. When I was 19, I went to a Indy show with my brother. The main event was Dr.Luther (who honestly should have gotten a shot SOMEWHERE in the U.S. at some point) defending the company title against Jerry Lynn and AJ Styles (who was the new hotness at the time, and the only real reason to watch TNA other than the X division as a whole). That match was good. But I also remember Kenny's tag match on the midcard, and him doing some fantastic heel work. At one point, he came in illegally for a double team and the ref tried to stop him, as did the opponent's partner. Kenny goes "I swear to God ref, he's trying to cheat!" and the ref of course turns around to admonish and the poor face schmoe gets double teamed with stomps and a titty twister (yes, really).

To come full circle, that show? It was promoted by Don "Cyrus" Callis, who now does the English colour commentary for NJPW. It's really cool to think that I saw a guy who's well on his way to becoming a gaijin legend when he was only 19, but he already ruled then.

Likewise, though I can't remember if I saw that first or the blow-up doll match first.

Can't imagine what Callis must've been feeling during that last three-count. Like, you get a sense of it when he gets choked up during that final call, but all I can compare it to is watching a child you saw grow up accomplish his dearest dream.

Funny how the episode that took place exclusively in Japan lacked a rant from SCU about how terrible the place they are is. :allears:

(I know it's probably just because SCU wasn't there but I like to imagine it was because they couldn't come up with anything bad to say)

Naito's repeatedly said he wants NJPW to run the Domes. I hope to see it, but it'll only happen if Harold pushes for it. Maybe if the G1 Budokan shows do well...

i think they should go for it next year and even if it doesnt sell out it would still likely outdraw jo-hall and give them a good answer of where they're at with the local fanbase. kinda cool how osaka has seen the most iwgp title changes the past 6 years.

Now the real question is if Kenny can break two ties in one weekend when The Elite face The New Day at Street Fighter

(Bizarre seeing WWE.com print the words 'Best Bout Machine' and call the Bucks the IWGP Heavyweight Tag champs- though not noting that Kenny's the singles champ)
