El P playing hometown babyface, giving away shirts to kids, chanting the town's name and then leading a chant for Okada. Then the cut to Okada's :what: face was perfect.

Looks like Twitter is preventing non-registered users from looking at it again so can't make use of the translations. I assume Okada is saying,"Glad I won, but does anybody know where I can get one of those machines only young people can hear so I can scare them off?"

Sanada giving shota a lot

I thought so too, and it was done in a really nice way that protected, sort of, everyone. Shota got a lot in on him, and Sanada was absolutely selling the moves, but long term it just wasn't taking it out of Sanada, and he could pull out the win. As though he could just withstand Shota's offense, still at a "junior" level, but give Shota some more experience and it'll do damage. It also sets up a longer match.

And that "no long term impact over the course of a fight" is something I'm usually really annoyed about. When you have guys who "appear" gassed after seven or eight minutes in one fight, and then go for 30+ minutes in another and still look strong. And there's just no way, short of coming back from injury or fighting an ironman the weeks before, that some of these wrestlers would look so shagged after just a few minutes.

The opposite goes for Eddie, who can go and go, but equally 100% pull off looking like he's been through a war within three minutes.

Smile. Win. Yay!

6-2 for the night, still waiting for the other shoe to drop and the math decides to utterly screw me

First half of the show is extremely skippable, I quite enjoyed Kaito/Chase but the other three matches were just kinda there. Sucks to see Tanga so rusty when he was a real fun hoss a couple of years ago when the BC wastemen decided to be good all of a sudden.

Picked up with Tsuji/Ren, really digging what they're doing with the V3 Musketeers matches, and had a good laugh at Shooters Goldberg entrance

Chase sucks out loud on commentary though, every so often there's something relevant but it's so few and far between sandbagging Kevin

Kayfabe or not, I appreciate the reasoning he provided of allowing potential guest commentators the chance to rest and recuperate after their matches

All the more reason Chris should be there full-time

He stated earlier that they won't be having any other wrestlers do double-duty by doing commentary on the same night they wrestle, so it won't be until they return to Tokyo and Charlton is back that the solo shows stop and morale improves.

I mean fly other commentators in. I think Chris actually does work for njpw full time but obviously has other duties. So hire a colour commentator to work with Kevin
