Really everything but the Pheromones match was good (story of DDT) but if you're short on time I'd say the three Tournament matches and Andrew the Giant's debut great, with Akiyama/Higuchi being the weakest of those four

Yeah, just start the main show after the first match and go from there.

But then you'd miss the preshow which also ruled. The Damnation match was fine with moments of being very good, but the Eruption six person tag is definitely worth the watch

The next step is him defending against Endo at Peter Pan, it'd be kind of deflating if he lost the first defence just to get it back to pre-CyberFest

That shot of Higuchi waving the flag was way too badass to just be for a guy who would lose his first defense, I hope he beats Endo's rear end :colbert:

Also, Takeshita's gonna be at Peter Pan too! :woop:

woo look at 'em gonk



i know he's young and blah blah blah many years or whatever but i'm still a bit bummed Yoshimura lost. i am very glad Higuchi was the one to take it because he felt like the least likely to get that nod. Endo match should be good and although i really like drat near everything Endo does,

Unrelated, but Wrestle Universe didn't always have the Speed Controls for their replays right? This is somewhat new? Because i could have sworn the last show i watched (likely the King of DDT show right before this one) the only options for the vid were Video Quality and Commentary settings.

Likewise, although I hope this showing means good things for him very soon. I've enjoyed him for years, although he's definitely been more inconsistent than others in his generation as a singles guy.

I had never noticed the speed setting, and had to check the GanPro tab I have to actually see what you were talking about

Yoshimura's great, yeah, but I'd be heartbroken if the guy who unsuccessfully challenged for the KO-D belt 5 times lose again...

I've been watching Cyberfight Festival & honestly, this is, entrances aside, much less fun than last year. Deeply underwhelmed so far.

If they do this again next year then for the love of God make it shorter

that's a hell of a spot on the card for Kojima mmm
