Naito is a good champion

War Dogs Jr. are still on the upswing of their careers and figuring stuff out

Eddie's an outsider who is not running any angles and just randomly beats company talent for no reason

so i'd go with like 1.8 out of 9

how did bushi survive a match where he got his dick killed. this is bullshit.

best bushi match since 2016 though, the trick is to put him in there with another huge loser and not someone who him getting offense on just looks stupid

Okay, I'm just now catching up with recent events, and what the actual gently caress?

They had Finlay beat Mox and Ospreay only to immediately lose to Nic loving Nemeth?

Why don’t refs apply a five count to submissions outside the ring like they do with the ropes? It’s the same principle, the ropes are considered out of bounds.

Outside the ring is No DQ zone

Stormy seas ahead for NJPW. I retract some of what I said earlier, they have talent but they have lost everyone who could lead a Big Main Event Style Match they are known for.

Best bout: Taichi/Shingo
Runner up: TAKA/BUSHI?? I loved that grime-off
