2nd this.

If I could change one thing about New Japan I'd like to see them do 5 minutes less in most of their big matches. There doesn't need to be so many matches going over 20 minutes.

Good but not great, and on a card with two legit MOTYs and a heated main event it was easy to get lost in the mix.

ROH used to have this problem in the mid-2000s (and maybe still does?), where they'd have these fantastic matches that would end up going 5-10 minutes longer than needed, and often at the expense of losing the flow and upsetting the pacing.

Thanks for the comments y’all. I’d also like to ask how long the NJPW card was, and how long the singles matches went overall. Trying to figure out how much I’m able to catch at the airport - start at the beginning or just check out the important stuff. I also haven’t watched the second half of this week’s Dynamite

This is quite possibly the best mixed tag I've ever seen. This is lots of fun - Mami & Hamburguesa are the great cult heroes we need and they got put on Kiss Cam until those JERKS STRONGHEARTS RAN IN, Lady Maravilla is still a great heel, and everyone not named Villano III Jr. stood out. This was closer to a MOTYC for me than I thought it'd be.

Kento Miyohara (c) vs Yuma Aoyagi

Disappointing by the standards of Kento title defences but still a good match. Will say the build to it over the last tour probably ended up with me having higher expectations than was fair.


The show in whole was not a must see and the Tag title match was a let down (I tweeted at the start that Irie & Steele looked like a fun tag team & then almost immediately it devolved into a fuckton of interference which was not what you want in a Violent Giants match). The All Asia Tag match was better. Other match worth watching was the JIN vs Purple Haze 6 man tag
