It's more of a gawp than a gaze, in the case of NJPW camera work.

Pieter, very nice person as I'm sure she is, is the one bit of New Japan that routinely makes it awkward to watch with a significant other. Not her fault, obviously.

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 anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
You know talentwise literally everyone on Team Ace is better than on Team BC. Except maybe Tama Tonga better than Finlay and thats still iffy.

Genuinely fond of Gino now. Great colour commentator when anyone but Bullet Club is wrestling, at which point he becomes a great stooge.

So Chase re-signed or he's just working dates on a tour by tour basis?

Even as a person who readily cops to some thirst the Pieter cam makes me a little uneasy.

OTOH AIN'T NOBODY REALER THAN GUERILLA

The hosed up thing is that it is (slightly) better than the Maria days when she'd come to the ring and the camera would straight up give her a free colonoscopy.

Again, it's an odd one because she's an independently wealthy businesswoman who literally only does this because it's fun. It's..... complicated

His chemistry with Kelly and Charlton is really good. My favorite is still the Kelly/Rocky/Charlton combo but Gino isn't a bad addition at all and they've done a 4-man booth before and it's worked well. They all clearly get on/like each other and it really comes across in the commentary.

I keep thinking about the Road to New Beginning show where Kelly gave Gino beans to ward off evil for when Suzuki came out, and when Suzuki finally arrived a shocked Gino admits he ate them already :lol:

He re-signed, he was completely trolling.

Edit: Chase really deserves to get that singles match, this is kind of interesting.

Ibushi tagging with Chase & Yujiro in 2018 during the Golden Elite stuff was fun, they kept trying to get him to cheat but he did the opposite and made them play fair.

Get you a significant other who's not gonna care about that kinda thing. Hell, mine might ogle more than me. :haw:

Not as much as the camera man though, because holy moly.

He's clearly growing his hair back out. I think he realised pretty quickly how big a mistake that was
