Props to Fujita for landing a signature move that involves taking a step towards your opponent shoulder-first.

I know Timothy Thatcher isn't British, but everything about him screams British. This is a man who has a Greggs order.

He's from the Kingdom of Fife, that's what I know.

Man, that debut of Jake was loving weird. Like, I kept expecting him to attack Morris but nah. He just comes out & poses with him & leaves. Weird.

Noah always feels like this for me. The promotion has clear talent and production quality but lacking the self-explanatory style, drama, and flash of NJPW

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Ehh... sometimes. The heavyweight belts are usually on respectable people who have good matches, but they don't have too many dedicated teams.

I have made it to this match, happy new year everyone!

Card has been really well paced so far, fully expecting the remaining matches to all be 60 minute draws while NOSAWA chuckles in the back.

random trivia question: is NOSAWA the booker the same NOSAWA from the CM Punk/Samoa Joe story?

Sugiura is like the proto-Ishii in that he only won the GHC belt at 39 years old and had his best years in his 40s. When i see he's 52 i got so confused because given the era of his career i expect him to be much younger.
