I'm absolutely certain I'm in the minority here, but I don't find the commentary as impressive as a lot of people seem to. I'm not saying it's bad by any means, I just don't find anything particularly excellent or noteworthy about it. Little Americanized things like calling Tanahashi's Air Raid Crash attempt "White Noise" also kinda bug me; it's very clearly viewed through an American lens, and very apparent they have really varying knowledge of the subject matter. I still appreciate it because it's for a wider TV audience and is bringing Western attention to NJPW, but I think a lot of people just notice it more because WWE commentary is really that terrible nowadays. Maybe Ross/Striker for WK9 set the bar too high, or maybe it's just because Japanese commentary really doesn't bother me when I watch it. That said it's been very enjoyable so far and I'm glad they're showing such high quality matches. I hope they get to expand it to show more later on.

I know it's a pretty recent thing, but why IS Ibushi in the Heavyweight division? I thought they took their weight classes pretty seriously, and last I heard he's like 190 tops.
