Just over 8 hours till showtime, right? I'm looking forward to this just for Ricochet/Ibushi, which should be incredible.

So apparently the Bullet Club's thing is to co-opt catchphrases of popular 90s heel factions?

So how does the NWA feel about their tag titles being fought over by two teams from NJPW?

Or are they just happy to have ANY relevance at all?

K.E.S is managed by TAKA as part of Suzuki-gun, but I'm pretty sure they wrestle for Tharpe's texas indie as well. WOuldn't shock me if the belts change hands here and the NWA partnership comes to an end.

This match is kinda garbage and it literally doesn't matter because the crowd is eating it up and having a great drat time.

He got his jaw broken in the tag match against Goto/Shibata.

Ah, I was unaware of that, and that puts this match into an entirely different context.

That match was better than I expected but I really wasn't expecting Bad Luck Fale to win it, and I really can't see him holding the title that has been elevated to near Heavyweight Championship level.

This was a pretty solid show and I liked that closing promo. Kinda bizarre that the best match of the night was the opening tag though, and that the second best was just before the intermission.

Anderson is a really good mouthpiece.

I fell asleep until KA's promo woke me up.

Yep, they were all good if not particularly noteworthy aside from Fale actually winning.

Edit: Curtis Axel! :lol:

Maybe I'm just being dumb but I can't seem to find a way to watch the VOD of this show (which I use to download a copy to my hard drive). It asks me for a ticket number to access it (I'm logged in) where in the past I've just clicked on the VOD link for a show I bought and it has just played automatically.

Edit: Even if I click the "watch the recorded video" link from the e-mail ustream sent me it just goes to an off-air page.

I tried refreshing the page, logging out and back in again etc and nothing. I'll try again tomorrow and see if it makes any difference, it's weird because they're usually up within a few hours of the show being over.
