It's still going right now, but if you missed the show, at the very least watch the main event because it's fun as hell.

extradite THIS! posted:How was the Switchblade vs Finlay match? The crowd was into it (eventually) but I have to say it didn't feel much different to their Young Lions matches. The most interesting thing to me was that Switchblade's attitude is still very much that of a heel, and Rocky on commentary felt like he was trying to back Switchblade as best he could in the interests of CHAOS solidarity, but Switchblade seems utterly uninterested in showing team spirit. Also Naito flipped off Tenzan

I really liked the White vs Finlay match, actually, got quite good towards the end there and the postmatch bit. Switchblade is a fuckhead and I enjoy it more and more.

Yeah, same on the Switchblade match. Probably the most I've enjoyed a Switchblade match. (It wasn't as good as the Omega match but I had lower expectations for this one) he's such a dick.

if there's one guy i'm willing to be a dumbass new fan and trash for sticking around and doing the legends fighting young guys bit it's nakanishi. he's like, slightly more mobile than the iron sheik. i love taichi's smaller show entrances, they really highlight how much of a high school theater dork he is. shiksa fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Feb 5, 2018 |

Nakanishi wouldn't have even been on this tour if it wasn't for Kojima's ACL injury. He's obviously incredibly limited but that's fine in his prelim veteran role imo as he's still over.

Nakanishi and Nagata doing their little arm in thing before matches is the pro wrestling equivalent of two elderly neighbors discussing the state of their yards.

God I love the Yano/Ishii dynamic  Edit: I'm liking more and more the ongoing story of Knife Pervert being completely detached from his teammates and not giving a gently caress about anything but himself. Jerusalem fucked around with this message at 11:46 on Feb 6, 2018 |

Hahaha just starting the show now: "Well the Young Lions didn't have to setup the ring today since it was already done yesterday, which gave them some extra time to do more squats."

Looks like the main event of the Adelaide show is Okada and Ishii vs. the Bucks. They might finally be moving up to heavyweight, which leaves the Jr. division looking kind of sparse.

While there's been rumors of the bucks moving up, booking that match on a foreign show doesn't necessarily signify anything beyond booking a match that would draw in Australia

Only just catching up, but I really liked the 6 Man with Chaos against Juice, Finlay and Hanare. The parts of the Suzukigun brawl between Makabe and Suzuki were amazing even if the rest of it was just by the numbers cheating. It was so nasty looking, and Suzuki gives me the chills, no one else has that aura. Also thought LIJ vs Chaos was good fun if just for the furthering of the little stories like Naito's belligerent apathy towards Yoshi-hashi. Looking forward to the main event now. Evil is cool.

Seriously, Makabe was choking the poo poo out of Suzuki and Suzuki was just giving him the most badass "gently caress YOU!" look back. It's incredible.
