Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....
It's so obvious why yoshi was fired, if this is the height of his charisma.

Also, match is fun.

Missed the heavyweight tag match, likely didn't miss too much.

My dinner of stuffed sourdough will be great.

what's it stuffed with

Onion, mushroom, spinach and rocket, in a tomato sauce, interspaced with light sizzle steak and Jarlsberg cheese. Now back to people hitting each other!

Dangit Striker, you're not a cool hard wrestler who's respected for his toughness and violence.

Yeah, changed over part way through the match.

That was some excellent violence.

Peak Striker was him asking Yoshi to explain what baka meant.

I remember it as them acting like it was a swear word they weren't sure they should translate, with Yoshitatsu saying 'stupid or very dumb'.

It really can't be understated how much Yoshitatsu justified his firing from WWE on commentary.

I tried to get my WWE watching friends to watch this, they watched the first few matches and said how good it was but ended up turning it off halfway through because they "don't know who anyone is". They'll happily watch raw tonight and complain about it.

WWE Stockholm syndrome is real y'all.

Please be fair. The show started off slow, built to a climax. Most of the match until the last 3 didn't have much heat, and overall weren't that great.

I expected his niceness and personality to translate well on commentary

On the bright side, that's probably the last chance I give New Japan English commentary

I remember liking Striker once.....

now he's a parody of himself, the worst kind of wrestling nerd who thinks he's really cool and awesome and down with the kids and making sick references. While using the term 'sick reference, bro' without irony.'

Kevin Kelly was milquetoast

Can't remember which thread they were posted in, but yes.

Pre-Show Rumble: *
Young Bucks vs Fish & O’Reilly vs Sydal & Ricochet vs RPG ***3/4
Toru Yano & Briscoes vs Fale, Tama Tonga and Takahashi **
Lethal vs Elgin ***1/4
Kushida vs Omega ****
Makabe & Honma vs MGKA and Doc Gallows ***3/4
Goto vs Naito ***3/4
Shibata vs Ishii ****1/2
Styles vs Nakamura ****3/4
Okada vs Tanahashi *****

Boy do I disagree with Meltzer about all but the last 3. This must be that feeling people have, of absolute disconnect with his strange opinions.

On the tiny chance anyone gives a poo poo what I think (assuming 2.5 is average):

Pre-Show Rumble: dud
Young Bucks vs Fish & O’Reilly vs Sydal & Ricochet vs RPG ***
Toru Yano & Briscoes vs Fale, Tama Tonga and Takahashi **
Lethal vs Elgin **1/2
Kushida vs Omega ***
