So much beef. I think definitely Cobb’s best match in NJPW so far. And up there with Shingo’s best. What a war.

People can judge a match how they like, if bell to bell is all that matters to you that’s valid and if people take the build and immediate fallout into consideration that’s fine too

Time will tell but I think there’s a big difference between booking a poo poo finish and booking a good finish that doesn’t go as planned due to, let’s say, technical difficulties.
the finish of the match itself was also kinda bad though
