What was the big debut Dave

the angles were billy gunn squaring off with katsuya kitamura and the latter refusing to back down, dragon lee interfering in the elgin/kushi/LIJ tag to take out hiromu, and suzuki-gun killing everyone. assuming kanemaru has appeared in new japan previously then no debuts technically

i have no issue with any of the WK booking except maybe having naito bow to tana lol. omega looked like a million bucks and they protected his finish and im hungrier for his win now. over-simplified but okada doesn't become the ace by losing when hes supposed to lose

I could understand BC being on the slide a bit but I didn't realize LIJ are considered bigger heels than they are.

Also NJPW main force is all the faces not in groups (Tanahashi, Liger and Tiger, KUSHIDA, TenKoji, etc).

my rationale is LIJ does vicious things like neck chairshots or targeting elgin's eye whereas bullet club basically does hijinx to try to steal wins, and dresses up as the ghostbusters or the terminator. naito is a cool heel but kenny is like barelllly a heel at all

I watched that New Years Dash show. I liked it but two complaints (I'll spoiler it in case no one has seen it):

1) I really hated the finish to Elgin/Kushida v Naito/Takahashi because it annoys me when champions get pinned in non title matches. (It's probably also because I'm a huge Tetsuya Naito mark)

2) not sure why LIJ already lost the belts


Other than that it was fun.

they have champions lose in tags/multimans all the time to set up future challengers, they did the same thing with goto. you should differentiate tag losses from singles losses

Do not even ask posted:

Watched WK11 in its entirety. Agree that the last 3 matches were great to amazing but I wasn't feeling the Jr Heavyweight match at all. Felt it was sloppy and dangerous which took me out of most of the match. Am I missing something here?

sloppy and dangerous works for some matches, like basically all hiromu matches, or any charlotte vs sasha match

it seems probable that theyre going to give him the IC belt and let him main event shows with that like nakamura and then save a naito/okada program for a dome
