Watching New Japan and WWE ppvs on the same weekend really made me appreciate how much less bickering there is at the new japan announce desk. It makes it much more pleasant to listen to.

I felt that with how quick he was ushered to the back and how all the post match was about Kenny, the title winner got made to look like an afterthought.

what exactly is the New Japan Cup's deal and why does it matter?

This part I actually know, the winner gets to challenge for a title of his choosing (I'm assuming multi man titles are excluded).

To me, Goto seems like he just doesn't try to push himself, or his performances, as much as other guys, particularly other main event guys. He can have good matches, but he never seems to push himself beyond that level, even in a main event position. I remember the specific match that completely soured me on Goto was hist match against Okada, when he came out in a white outfit. He's in a 30 minute main even spot with one of the best workers on the planet, and he puts in the same level of performance as a midcard, single-cam G1 match. Another great example is the recent press conference with EVIL. EVIL is working to sell himself and his whole aura, and Goto is just kinda there and gave a kinda generic promo.

I remember the EVIL/Okada title match the same way, kinda underwhelming.

I think EVIL pulled out all the stops for his G1 match with Okada because he got to be the first guy to score a pin on him in almost a year, and didn’t quite put the same effort in for the title defence

Didn't help that it had to follow a great Naito/Ishii match either.

Sabre/Tanahashi would be an interesting final given Zack's inability to submit the very injured Tanahashi last year and the recent damage Suzuki did.

I wonder if it's gonna be Tanahashi beating Sabre in the finals and then challenging Suzuki.

Korakuen Hall



Tetsuhiro Yagi vs. Ren Narita
Yugi Nagata vs. Shota Umino
Togi Makabe, Michael Elgin, and Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Manabu Nakanishi, and Tomoyuki Oka
Juice Robinson, David Finlay, and Toa Henare vs. CHAOS (Hirooki Goto, Jay White, and Tomohiro Ishii)
Hiroshi Tanahashi, KUSHIDA, and Tiger Mask IV vs. CHAOS (Toru Yano, SHO, and YOH)
L.I.J (Naito, EVIL, SANADA, Hiromu, and BUSHI) vs. Suzuki-gun (Suzuki, KES, Kanemaru, and Desperado)
CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada and YOSHI-HASHI) vs. Suzuki-gun (Zack Sabre Jr. and Taichi)

Do the Road to... shows usually have english commentary? I noticed in the schedule that this one does and I feel like this hasn't always been the case.
