Kyle was great on commentary and breathed new life into Kevin Kelly. Them singing Naito's theme song was amazing.

From New Japan Global's Twitter:

Shota Umino posted:

Zack, thank you. Wrestling him gave me a lot of confidence. Okayama, thank you for supporting me to the end. When I was a Young Lion, I wrestled Zack and got wiped out. A few years on, I beat him in the main event. Those submissions almost broke me, but it was because of you guys in Okayama and your support that I'm able to speak to you now. Every wrestler feels the same. Please keep sending us your support. But next it's David Finlay. I'll beat him, make it to Ryogoku and beat Okada for the belt. I will be creating a paradigm shift in this ring, and will lead the future for New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

Zack/Shooter was my favourite kind of wrestling match. Zack's the best technical wrestler in the world (sorry Bryan fans it's #FACTS), it turns out Shooter learned a whole lot on his excursion and I was amazed at how Kyle switched gears on comms for the main event

I'm Australian and he's the most Australian man I've ever seen so it started a bit too much for me. I appreciate other people might feel different there

But did he ever do a good job in the mainevent. He really pushed shota hard

Hopefully New Japan has learned that if you wanna get a young up-and-comer over, don't give him to Naito, give him a ZSJ match

My favorite commentary interaction of the night (behind them singing Naito's song) was:

Kyle (standing up): COME ON, MARTY!
Kevin: Calm down Kyle, sit down, let the man do his job.
Kyle: But he's not, that's the problem!

Zack vs Shooter ruled, such a significant upgrade over his slog against Naito. Zack should be a shoo-in for Most Charismatic, man is an entertainment machine.

My bracket is in absolute shambles though, i'm beginning to think the semis might not end up being Taichi vs Will and Shingo vs Finlay, much less Billy beating Shingo in the finals

DDT has a (bafflingly popular) act called Pheromones who do a bunch of over the top sexual molestation stuff in their matches. The "joke" is that they're doing it to men, including jamming their assholes in people's faces, physically restraining people and then dry-humping them, etc.

It's.... garbage. It ruins every DDT show for at least 15-30 minutes, which sucks, because otherwise DDT rules.
