I'm skipping huge swaths of today's WOR cause I don't wanna hear anything about WK11, 'cause I think I might just wind up buying NJW to watch it 'cause everybody says it's so loving great and apparently there's a 45 goddamn minute match, and they're talking it up like the whole thing was so good every time I skip ahead. Was this show just the end all be all or what?

Was this show just the end all be all or what? The last 4 matches are crazy good. Dave called one of them the best match he's ever seen and yet there's still a bunch of debate on here over which of the 4 was best, such was the quality of all of them. and the rest was okay to good

The last 4 matches were all easy match of the year candidates, and the last two matches are easily worth the price (less than the WWE Network) by themselves

Was this show just the end all be all or what? There's going to be at least one really great match for you. For me it was the IC title match, one of the best I've seen. The main event is a must watch... it's a very important match. As for its quality, that'll be debated for a long time.

Dave talking about how Gedo should be in the Hall of Fame for his booking is a good argument. Everyone thought NJPW was in dire straits last year losing three main eventers at once, Hiroshi Tanahashi's shoulder was dying, Suzuki was over in NOAH, and Okada had only just been coronated as The Ace without being tested whether he could do it without Tanahashi. He loving managed to pull it off.

I don't know if people remember, but in the Archives somewhere there is the old NJPW thread which goes like this: "Who's this Okada guy? Was he in TNA? He sucks? Wait he beat Hash? Lmao. Njpw, mirite? Ughh they really need to put the belt back on him ASAP" *3 months later* "WHY DID OKADA LOSE THE TITLE TO TANAHASHI WHYYYY????  "And to be fair, I was one of those people that turned around on him in those 3 months.

Just when I think star chat has reached it's peak, Dave goes and gives a match 6* He has to be trolling the people who say he inflates Japanese matches at this point

Dave also said there's been surprisingly little backlash from people about that rating, which goes to show how great that match was.
