Just catching up on some AJPW, and watching the Korakuen Hall 60th Anniversay/NJPW&AJPW 50th Anniversary Show.

Best pre-match shenanigans:
Toru Yano

Has the announce read through a seemingly endless plugs
Gives a shout-out to Tajiri's book (which he bought with his own money), delighting ol' Tajjers, and gets it signed
Acts offended and outraged while one half of the opposing tag team Black Mensore has an equally long list of products to plug, and then politely takes the business card offered to him

Loudly asks the ref if his hands have been washed, and then sprays his hands with disinfectant spray anyway.

Yeah, if I was Tony I'd seriously consider a title change next week after that.

I think what was most impressive is that Ricky flubbed a few lines and some of the content wasn't great, but the delivery was so good that it didn't matter.

Honestly If i was BBT and it wasn't MJF's first defense but like his 3rd or 4th I would pull the trigger.

i do think it'd be extremely funny if max dropped the title in his first defense after all the jerking off about holding the title for years, and it'd be a great way to break him down and get his character into a new phase. i wanna see murderous psycho mjf out for ricky's blood
