I wish I was better at translating this stuff, because that was a great promo video. Talking about the stuff that Yottsume's translations have -- Shibata is now trying to dedicate himself to wrestling but Tanahashi has reservations, Goto is good but Makabe questions not his strength but his heart, and even Shibata said he doesn't quite understand his partner's motivations completely.

[edit] Announcer's talking about the same thing as the Shibata interview. "What's Tanahashi's New Japan? What's Shibata's New Japan? What is New Japan going to be?!"

Shibata, c'mon dude, it's not like you couldn't see Tanahashi coming to break that pin up.

Edit: What a shock, Goto chokes again!

That match was a little disappointing, I expected more from the four of them. This next match, on the other hand.... boy howdy do I have some low loving expectations for this.

Well long may it continue, it's really sweet :)

I have to say that they've done a great job at making me hate AJ Styles and want to see him get his rear end kicked by Okada and get his title back (which I don't think is going to happen anytime soon), which is a pretty good example of:

This is a simple rear end in a top hat heel vs deserving face storyline (even if Okada was supposedly still a heel when he lost the belt) and it is really effective in its simplicity.

I meant the post-Nakamura match decision of who he's gonna face next, sure it builds into the current CHAOS vs Bullet Club deal too but it was done so, so simply

Okada's taken some STUUUUUPID bumps in this match, but what I'm gonna need afterwards is a JR "BAH GAWD HE'S BROKEN IN HALF" treatment for Ishii loving creaming Takahashi with that lariat. Holy loving poo poo, that was a good one.

Yeah, but I was noting that the philosophy makes sense in a more general sense too - take a basic story and make it work before worrying about getting flowery or complicating things.

Okada's dropkick is stunning.
