When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Kenny looks very Matt Hardy on the left screen.

they'll either run it back on battle in the valley or on aew, depending on whether TK would let them use kenny in the US

So they run a US title match where njpw can't make money ?

It's annoying to see igwp titles just vanish from Japan. Ftr went from winning it to losing it with one defence in Japan

And now Kenny has one week to recuperate from this match, get over the jetlag from the trip, and prepare for Escalera de la Muerte? Yeah at this point I'm pretty sure the Elite aren't winning the trios titles back.

I was thinking something along these lines about halfway through when I started to think Kenny might win (I'd thought this was going to be a passing the torch moment), that this is really the first proper chapter of what's going to be an incredible story. It's got the Okada/Kenny feel but also could have elements of jumbo vs Misawa too.

Jay is tremendous. But he's just had 25 singles matches since COVID. And 15 of those are G1 matches. He's not around. There was no real build to this match with Okada being a dad & Jay being a Florida man

The match could & probably will rule but still, the build has been a bummer & so has Jay's title reign.

Like literally one of the complaints about the ME is Jay hasn't toured enough to get heat. The overwhelming vast majority of the fanbase is Japanese.

Yeah, Switchblade rules but he's been almost entirely absent for several months which has really, really, really hurt the build for this match.
