This is gonna be like ten minutes of dueling kip ups.

Edit: my kind of sprint. First two matches were a fun start to the show.

Easily my favorite NJPW US match so far. KENTA does fine with no crowd, the storytelling has been very good. I’m digging this a ton.

KENTA being a cheating gently caress is the best.

So KENTA and Moxley haven’t ever met in the ring, huh? And KENTA said he wanted a piece of Mox last year.

I feel like something’s missing from these NJC USA matches. KENTA vs Cobb got pretty good towards the end but iunno

much like the regular one no crowd hurts and nothing's been at the level of nagata/suzuki or hiromu/ishii. conditions make it tough, even with how limited japanese crowds are due to the pandemic the clapping still makes a huge difference.

I don't think either man really hit top gear, especially KENTA. Very happy he's winning the cup though, KENTA/Mox is gonna be loving wild

i think that if you're going to do no crowd, a bloodsport ring style is probably the best adoption to maintain match quality
