He's going to be doing a TV show that wouldn't let him

Brandi didn't specify the show but I'm thinking he's going back to Arrow for an episode or two

The baloons are really dumb but they feel like something Okada chose to do himself so actually they are good and I love them.

I assume LIJ are the heels? First NJPW watching after checking out the Dominion matches after the MOTYC thread exploded. And Raw/WWE main roster continues to suck rear end.

Did they turn up the volume on the crowd or was the loudest pop of the night for Naito not doing a dive?

That's legitimately one of the things NJPW fans most look forward to seeing in a Naito match!

They're mostly face-leaning tweeners, but someone didn't give BUSHI the memo

LIJ does whatever the hell they want and everybody loves them anyway, that's their gimmick.

They move between face-tweeners and heels. They're all "punks" so even when they're working face they'll cheat and be disrespectful. NJPW is weird when it comes to alignment. Like, Okada is a white meat babyface but also a cocky dick. It works though.

LIJ are technically heels but they're super super over so they generally operate more as faces

JR comparing Naito to Austin isn't far off. His gimmick taps into the same "gently caress the Man" feeling as Stone Cold.
