Just me or did Liger actually get a much bigger pop than Tana? Maybe not a big current New Japan crowd.

Liger has worked in the U.S. like infinitely more so makes sense

He has the pop of the night so far. Lots of hardcore ROH fans like me started off tape trading and Liger was a GOD.

gently caress, I might just be a lazy rear end in a top hat and stay home tonight, I want to see this. Although gee, I wonder who's taking the fall in this one....?

Yeah, I thought Liger was awesome from the first time I saw black and white pics of him in Apter mags when I was like 9. I think Hammerstein will get more of a NJPW fan crowd though since guys like me are going to me more likely to travel to it.

They lost those to Rey Bucanero and Tama Tonga right before Tama did a CMLL tour, they ended up getting stripped of them due to Bucanero getting hurt.

Liger's movement today compared to his peak is basically Hogan's in that skit with Arnold vs his peak, except he was much faster than Hogan so he can still do a baseball slide!

Yeah, Liger might be over the hill, but I really think main eventing in front of a hyped NYC crowd he's really going to bring it still. I say this all the loving time but it's incredible that at 49 he's still a full time junior heavyweight wrestler who hasn't missed a month of action since the mid '90s.

Silas Young looks like his uncle Stan Hansen a little. Shame he's nowhere as good or big as Stan.

Matt Taven suuuucks, Silas Young isn't anything special, Lethal is okay, Chiampa's grown on me with PWG stuff and this entrance I guess.
