Charlton said last night that Tsuji said if his hair gets cut he can't see how New Japan as a promotion can possibly continue to exist. He may be right!

Naito the kind of guy to win that match then make a point of getting a haircut before the next show just to rub it in.

Started by doing warm-up stretches, moved up to Yoga, then half-crabs, then Boston Crabs, and finally Lion Tamers. Now he's invincible.

I hope this match ends in a draw and they stoically stare at each other and nod and then shave Marty Asami's hair while he yells GIVE UP, GIVE UP.

Feels like this is being wrestled with less urgency than the previous non-stip singles on the card, let's see if it picks up

Oh God for a second there I thought Marty had just declared the match over by Double Countout, rather than motioning he was about to start the count.

25 minutes down, it feels like half that because they really haven't done a ton

Jerusalem

Yeah, I expected a lot more urgency and fire given the stipulation on the line and the match being the semi-main event.

It's cause they are going ~30

It's fine. I suppose this is the house style and what the audience expects.

But all the guys in this class aren't quite at the epic level yet. Shota probably closest

I think like everything it's just practice. All njpw epics have padding but they are better at hiding it normally

These guys are still relatively inexperienced
