Wrassling starts in about 15 minutes, this will be a Japanese commentary only show because Walker is too tall and can't get into the building.

He's on his way thankfully

I got a bit worried when he vanished and sounded sad on twitter that they fired him for breaking the chair lol

Clark noooo you don't realize it, but making the crowd aware how much their booing upsets you is only likely to encourage them to boo more!

Solid enough night

Fujita v knight was really good when you consider experience level

Despe pulled a very solid match out of bushi

I remember when I first started watching New Japan, you could always rely on Despy and BUSHI to kill each other, but to me at least Despy just seems to have moved so many levels above BUSHI as a wrestler it's kinda crazy to remember when I considered them roughly at about equal level.

Smile. Win. Yay!

Catching up with the last couple of shows, this Korakuen crowd is already beating Night 1 during the first entrance
- Blake seemed to be getting a couple more boos today against Knight which is good to see, he's still doing to crowd pleasing flippydoos which doesn't help
- Mack vs Akira was good, it's one of those matches I was never bored during but have forgotten as soona s it finished outside of Mack's finisher
- Ah yes, the old Hayata special, a technically fine match that I can barely keep my eyes on
- Robbie vs Drilla was great, the first great match tonight
- Really enjoyed the ending to Nobu vs TJP, though wish that Charlton hadn't called it out before it happened
- Ishimori vs Dia was sweet, Taiji seems like he's really motivated this tour and Dia continues to impress
- SHO vs KUSHIDA ruled, had me giggling nearly the whole way through
- Despy vs Fujita also ruled, Fuj is so goddamn good at making me care about him
- DOUKI CHOKEY :neckbeard: Not as good as the semi main but still fantastic
Great show, thought Newman was really good on commentary as well

This night 3 venue is sure not Korakuen
- Oh man, was so keen for Fuj to tap Knight out with that jumping Kimura
- This was my favourite Blake Christian match of the tour, Nobu is a miracle worker
- The transistion from the superplex to No Chaser from Clark was sweet, this was a pretty nothing match otherwise
- Main event BUSHI actually putting in the effort is real good, match of the night
Not as enjoyable a show as Night 2, but that's to be expected going down to a single block

Catching up on Dynamite, I think I missed most of the show?

Edit: Yep, this is the main event, and nobody took up Robbie's kind offer of a Taiji chant!

Agreed but also I like the dude who stayed in the crowd after the show was over, directly behind/between the Japanese commentators on camera clutching three Daryl dolls lovingly to his bosom :3:

There was a bunch of cute interactions from the kids at the show. Some kids started barking at Drilla. Very funny

Finally caught up with the block matches, ready to watch todays show live
- Akira/Kushida was really good, sad for my Italian lad only having the one win so far
- Douki/Drilla was pretty nothing, was hoping for a cool reversal from the Italian stretch to the Drilla Killer but no such luck
- Sho remains an absolute treasure, the fake Ninja Mack in the NOAH training gear was great and the real ones entrance was just as funny
- Hiromu/Dia finally woke the crowd up, this match was rad
- This match was definitely good, but the crowd were much more riled up for the semi-main
