http://www.ustream.tv/njpwjp - as usual for big shows, buy on Japanese site to save roughly 5 USD Some may be underwhelmed by the Nakamura/Fale main and the lack of an IWGP title defense, but Osaka crowds are usually fantastic and this looks to be the best undercard of the year on paper. The IWGP jr title match has the potential to be a strong MOTYC, and Bucks vs. Timesplitters, Ishii/Okada vs. Styles/Yujiro, and Nagata/Honma vs. Goto/Shibata should all be really fun. The NWA match should be a lot better than normal as the K.E.S. are actually pretty good and even the eternal MiSu/YTR feud is at least a little fresher due to Iizuka's turn. As a bonus I think it's a lot tougher to predict a lot of the matches than it usually is for NJPW shows. If you're the type to buy some but not all big NJPW shows depending on the card I'd strongly recommend watching this one. quote:Card

Just over 8 hours till showtime, right? I'm looking forward to this just for Ricochet/Ibushi, which should be incredible.

I love this whole card. It's really nice to finally have a show without a single Gracie or NWA idiot again. Besides the obvious highlights I'm really looking forward to the continuation of Nagata & Shibata's beef.

Usually with these shows, I don't mind to sleep in until about 6 so I can catch all the post-intermission stuff, then double back and catch the first half later in the day. But this is one where I really want to watch from the beginning live, so I guess I'm going to have to try to go to bed around 10 and wake up by 4. Then go back to sleep before the main event.

It actually worked! I went to sleep early and woke up in time to watch the show. Pretty excited to see some of these matches.

So apparently the Bullet Club's thing is to co-opt catchphrases of popular 90s heel factions? Edit: Haha, these repeated tags into the armbar spot are amazing.

Crowd looks and sounds real good in any case, which is nice.

What a spot! Can't believe that wasn't the finish. edit: Hell of an opener. If the show only gets better from here, we'll be in great shape.

Holy poo poo that really ruled. Went a little heavy on the false finishes but man it ramped up the excitement pretty incredibly.

Love how the crowds finally behind the Time Splitters. KUSHIDA was getting so over during BOSJ and this crowd loves them some Shelley.

To be fair he's REALLY good at the Stinger Splash. Edit: Kinda surprised Naito won to be honest.
