Just saw it. Legit awesome, old school beat down angle, the kind WWE doesn't do anymore (you'll see, I don't want to spoil some specifics), and super effective in defining the roles for the match. They need to promote the hell out of this video on social media.

So weird how the crowd is mostly silent during this, I know Japan crowd reactions are very different from US but this was a hot beatdown angle and you'd expect a loud continued reaction.

they definitely reacted more to Okada putting Naito and Hiromu down with his million dollar dream.

Can someone please give a summary of how Big Mike hosed up? I think part of it is he was being an rear end in a top hat to Jeff Cobb on social media?

Super No Vacancy

a woman told mike that one of his students sexually assaulted her like six months ago. from texts/DMs/etc. she has posted since then, he did not believe her and did not take any action on it. also he was very lovely to her on a personal level. after she made the accusations public, he fired the student from his promotion. some edgelord moron on twitter started casting doubt on the accuser and eventually melted down and posted DMs he had gotten from big mike in which mike called the woman a liar and a whore etc. the woman then proceeded to post all the stuff she'd gotten from mike including stuff from like a couple weeks ago where he was burying cobb, and that somehow became the cute little meme that people latched on to

Thank you for clearing it up! It's definitely weird that I'd only heard about the Cobb stuff previously based on the limited attention I'd been paying to NJPW news recently, but at least I know now

I'd say that's about as hot a reaction you'll get in Japan, excluding the top third and fourth gen guys , and it seems like the crowd wants to cheer Jericho because of his status.

Too bad the production team didn't know to work around Kenny blading.

That beatdown was good, that BUSHI match sucked, CHAOS vs LIJ was fun, and the tournament final was fine. I'm excited for the 4th, where I know Jericho will reveal himself as Los Ingovernable de Jericho so that LIJ can have all the gold.

I thought the beatdown was kinda lame. Okada has hit Kenny way harder than Jericho could muster with that belt. Yet there's Omega, gushin and wobbly leggin, come the gently caress on.

oddly enough I think Okada probably would have a better match with Jericho cause Okada can work so many different styles yet Kenny really needs somebody Athletic to have good matches with.

some of the doom and gloom around Jericho/Omega from certain types of fans reminds me of the reception to Cody/Okada which turned out to be a really good match, but you're right that Okada is way better at adapting to different styles.

I really think we're going to see Jericho/Naito at Strong Style Evolved based on the gap in Fozzy's schedule and Jericho and Naito having a war of words over the double main event thing. I wonder what the reception to that would be.

It wouldn’t have even been a good match on a WWE show.

It’s okay, Okada is bound to have a bad match when he faces a guy who has never had a good one. It doesn’t make him any lesser.

His most recent WWE run was great, but I can't remember a single match of it, just angles and segments and promos

Like so far this has been great and I expect that to continue the rest of the month/build! I'd just temper my expectations for the actual in-ring part

Every Jericho vs. Owens match was pretty drat good.

Like, yeah, in-ring, Jericho's last run wasn't great, but he ended strong and he's had, what, three-four months to get ready for this? There's no reason to think he won't bring the goods.
