Take advantage of the weekend and watch the last major New Japan show before the Dome. It's about the most stacked card possible without an IWGP title match even if you disregard the added intrigue due to importance this show will play in building towards WK12. At a bare minimum the title pictures for the IC, NEVER, and both jr. belts should be much more clear. If that's not enough for you the identity of Switchblade will probably finally be revealed after months of buildup and there's also the mysterious big announcement George Carroll has promised us

Reminder that the card occurs four hours after midnight eastern time but the clock change pushes it back an hour. Tune in about 15 minutes early if you want to catch Kitamura vs. Finlay

Tanahashi vs Ibushi is obviously the highlight, but I'm legit excited to see Suzuki/Yano in a bullrope match.

Dragon Lee and Titan vs. The Young Bucks and Super 69 vs. Roppongi 3k both have the potential to be great too.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Piss-tester turns away for a moment and looks at the mirror, can only see piss coming out of mid-air into a jar.

Edit: That was probably the worse Indytaker I've ever seen.

Kinda made the finish fall flat.

That's certainly possible and the Bucks being so careful to not let his head come close to the apron is a nice thing to consider if that was the case. Just wish it could have been hidden better by the camerawork.
