The first major New Japan US show of the year starts in a few hours in San Jose. The Matt Riddle booking is very unfortunate but the rest of the card looks really good by NJPW-US standards. Three really solid to great looking top of the card matches and some fun lower card stuff like the CMLL offer match. Hopefully the X is someone cool at least who lasts longer than Riddle. Like most US shows it is a PPV. Its an affordable one fortunately at US$19.99 on Fite/Triller. Japanese feed is available for those in that country free on World. Battle in The Valley January 13th at 22:00 EST/January 14th at 3:00 GMT/12:00 JST San Jose Civic Center Preshow Match:Matt Vandergriff vs. Goldy Preshow Match:Viva Van vs. Stephanie Vaquer Main Card Shota Umino, Fred Rosser, and Jacob Fatu vs. Team Filthy (Tom Lawlor and West Coast Wrecking Crew) Volador Jr. and Mascara Dorada vs. Soberano Jr. and Rocky Romero TJP vs. David Finlay NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Championship: Guerillias of Destiny(c) (El-P and Hikuleo) vs. Bullet Club War Dogs (Clark Connors and Alex Couglin) NJPW STRONG Women's Championship:Giulia(c) vs. Trish Adora Matt Riddle and X vs. TMDK (Zack Sabre Jr. and Bad Dude Tito) Continental Triple Crown:Eddie Kingston(c) vs. Gabe Kidd No DQ:Shingo Takagi vs. Jon Moxley Kazuchika Okada vs. Will Ospreay

X is probably Danielson, right? He's not advertised for Collision and it'd make sense to build the match with Zack.

Main card starts right when shops are open so going to miss the beginning, hopefully will be back in time for the tag title match

I assume x is some kind of babysitter in Japan for riddle to try and keep him from loving up too much. Cobb from that perspective makes sense

Are the commentary team micced up WAY high for anybody else? I had to crank down the volume to get them at what felt a reasonable level but lost a lot of the crowd noise, so pushed it back up and the commentary is just blasting my ears.

The sound was pretty abysmal for the Lonestar Shootout show iirc. And the Royal Quest show. Idk why they can't get their sound right when they ain't in Japan
