Thauros: Jan 29, 2003

I lied, it's actually only about $20 if you buy from the Japanese Ustream page
http://www.ustream.tv/njpwjp - link to buy show, replay will be available until the 24th.

This may only be the second biggest NJPW show of the month and there admittedly are some definite flaws to the card. Shinsuke's stuck in what looks like an inevitable stinker vs. the Gracies and we get another installment of the endless year long Minoru Suzuki vs. YTR feud for no very good reason at all.

On the other hand, this show qualifies as a must see to me if for no other reason than many believe this could finally be the end of the Rainmaker's year+ long title reign against a brand new opponent in AJ Styles. There should be some other really fun matches as well. The NEVER championship match between Ishii and the often overlooked Tomoaki Honma has the potential to be excellent, there's going to be a rare Survivor Series style elimination tag elimination tag match featuring some of the company's top faces vs. the Bullet Club, and the Forever Hooligans make a welcome return to the company to challenge the Bucks.

Recently I have been catching up on 2013 NJPW shows and every time the NWA graphic comes on I get a little more disinterested. I can't remember the last NWA title match I watched that was any good. Bruce Tharpe

Goto messed up the Shouten Kai so he improvised with the sharpshooter I'm guessing.

they hosed up the Shouten so instead of trying it again he just slapped on a sharpshooter that Nakinishi could tap to
