i love new japan ref bumps. the new japan crowd so much wants clean, respectful matches that a simple ref bump is a loving nuclear heat generator. it's part of why i love it even more when it's jay white, cause the crowd knows he's legit and could stand with their best, but he is a dick.

on night one of wk14, when ibushi did the nakamura spot against okada, the crowd sounded like a bolt of loving lightning when they screamed YEEAAAHOOOH

it was awesome

i agree with those, so they must be right

for me personally i enjoyed okada/ibushi waaaaaaaay more than okada/naito, but that's possibly because the first had some drama of my being unsure in the outcome. from the second okada beat kota, i was certain naito was winning night 2, and nothing in the match had me questioning it.

i like that aew exists so if an american leaves njpw, they can work in america, make good money, AND potentially be on a good wrestling show

aew is still way below njpw because being on television is inherently AWFUL for wrestling quality, but it's not like going to wwe where you may as well not exist any more as a wrestler

i mean, look at the cards. they can't have thought they were gonna be huge.

i said a while ago i thought they were easing off the gas for the us expansion after letting kenny and the gang go, but most people disagreed

Well, yeah, they just announced an american subsidiary, obviously most people would think they're going all in on an US expansion. Maybe they'll ease off on it now, but we'll have to wait and see what the reactions are.
but they didn't really announce an american subsidiary, they essentially announced they were opening an office in the us. i saw it more as refocusing us efforts to center around brief, low profile tours and the la dojo. i just don't think expansion in the us is a priority any more.

that said, if they'd just run chicago they'd sell out whatever they tried, and quick.

Time for match 2 of Okada v Omega. The first may well have been the best wrestling match I have ever seen so you know... no pressure or anything for the rematch.

wanna hear something hosed up

okada and omega's first title match is the worst of the 3 according to king wrestling nerd dave meltzer

in a bit of selfish indulgence, i came across a tweet i made the day the njpw cup brackets were announced and it made me very sad to think about what has been taken from us.

will ospreay vs shingo, kota vs zsj, nagata v suzuki... i miss the best wrestling :(

when kenny took over from AJ i was like "look, that guy's funny and interesting, but he is NOT a heavyweight main eventer!"

and it turned out i was right and kenny omega never did anything important

imo the very first show back, naito should be dropping the belts to okada. i could understand someone thinking that not having any shows for months means that naito should still have a substantive run, but they're wrong give us our king back in these harrowing times.

if we're sincere posting, naito v hiromu would be a waste of hiromu and i'd want him against a better opponent.
