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.

Actually no, the main event got cancelled. This is the consolation match they're putting on so they won't be forced to give any refunds

See, I could accept this if it wasn't the exact same tired sequence every single match, and if it didn't need absolutely everyone around them to be the dumbest bricks in human history to be even remotely plausible

They could be so much funnier and better, and it would be so easy. But it's just... bad.

so... uh..

uh..

I was thinking. What if they made another faction just like house of torture in execution, I mean totally different character gimmicks but do all the same Vince Russo stuff, and just have them feud against each other? So all this type of stuff could be contained like in a virtual isolation wing to itself on the card, as opposed to making babyfaces and refs look like utter morons for imagining that there's going to be a fair match this many years into the gimmick.

On board with this and I'll go further. They have their own shows for this and we don't film them.

The reality is that a certain type of fan just doesn't want cheating in njpw

But hot are just an absurd act. They will cheat to their own detriment. During last years bosj evil was in kayfabe following sho around Japan to cheat while not even booked.

Now I do agree it shouldn't be in the iwgp title scene and it hurt sanada but here it's just ridiculous. Almost a parody of wrestling heels

The thing with Tama is that as a babyface rather like hot with heels he felt to me an almost parody of the US wrestling face. Even in tonight's match while evil comically begged off and tama waggled his finger at him like hogan.

It felt almost insincere where I can accept that from goofball heels it's harder with a face.

Shota is sickeningly wholesome but he's also extremely earnest about it. So I believe in him. Tama I just didn't

I find HoT antics to be funny more often than not, I think at least with this one knowing that it was Tama's last single sort of took the stakes out of it enough for it to not be absurd enough to be funny. It was just waiting for whatever blow finally took him out for good.

One of my favorite Tama moments was after he got kicked out of Bullet Club and turned face, he was doing guest commentary and saw Bullet Club interfering in a match, and he went,"...wait, did they used to do that during MY matches too!?! :aaa:" :allears:

It's not that kind of test.
Why didn't they just have Shingo win at WK? Also every other night.

Why do Chase and KENTA get another tag title shot after losing tonight?

Was the Fit match just a rib on GOK for not being shredded?

Boy I hope the big February shows are a step up from this one. (Okay I just reminded myself of the cards and they absolutely are, but this one was still pretty dire).

...working through the undercard now and Ren's new music is pretty good but lol at that finisher.

"...the most loyal of the Filipino cryptids" is not a phrase I ever expected to hear on wrestling commentary.
