I'll be back in 15 to see Nemeth wrestle for the first time ever, heard for many years that he was good and underused, curious to see if it's true.

So far Mayu and Mina are strolling their way to MOTN.

Sooper Gila posted:a big part of what frustrated me about this match was I can still see glimpses of 2017-19 EVIL in there, the guy who was almost always good for at least a four star match in the G1. If he was old and hurt and needed a break I would totally understand him needing to rely on a gimmick like this and be happy for him even if I didn't dig the matches. Hell I watched Perro Aguayo for a decade where he mostly just stood in the ring and bled and I was glad to see him. I like EVIL a lot, and maybe he's happier this way, taking less bumps, not getting knocked out and poo poo. I just think a company that's lost this much talent could find a much better use for a guy like him, same way I feel about Sho. Yeah, it sucks because these were guys that had a lot of potential (particularly SHO, and Narita is another who I assumed would be a big time star) and now they're just wasting away years of their career on this bullshit. Well, from my perspective anyway. It seems to work in Japan and people enjoy booing them doing exactly the same thing again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again so I'm sure it doesn't bother them at all, but man I remember when SHO used to actually be a wrestler and not whatever the gently caress this thing he's doing now is. Anyways, nevermind that bullshit, Go ACE!

After the good vibes of Fantasticamania, this may be the worst New Japan Show of the year so far, and possibly the worst I can think of since the end of the pandemic era. The only shining spot so far has been a match with two non-New Japan wrestlers in Mayu Iwatani and Mina Shirakawa

I do have to laugh at the constant references to Nemeth as a WWE star in this video package, while all the footage is from TNA

It is pretty cool that a women's title match got to main event a New Japan show and nothing happened afterwards.

I'm gonna withhold judgement on Nemeth because Finlay really sucks, but I did not enjoy that match at all.

Kind of makes the whole jamming Finlay into the Ospreay/Moxley match feel even more pointless now. Shota should have been successfully defending his Global Title in the main event tonight  At least the match was okay, that's a big step up from the last 3 matches.

Burn Down Canberra posted:I really liked that. Not high art but a nice little match Yeah I was pretty impressed with Nemeth, I'd heard him compared to Curt Henning a lot and I can see that, his selling was fantastic. I was glad to see him for the first time with someone like Finlay as I can get a better idea how good he is. His offense is still really American, I think he'd likely fit in better in AEW or TNA than here unless he changes that up a bit though.

Yeah, his big influences are pretty nakedly Hennig and Michaels Honestly that makes Tanahashi maybe making the call to bring him in make sense.

Assuming that OC drops the international title soon, I’d be up for Nemeth/Cassidy at Forbidden Door with Nemeth going over. https://x.com/prowresclips/status/1760996719083368734?s=46&t=_akPFYiqAqKbxYd3RPf4Jg

Okay seriously, why are you having the company guys who should be some of your biggest stars lose to House of Torture and then give a rub like that to MATT RIDDLE.
