yeah it blew my mind when I learned that Okada/Omega 1 was their least good match. There's a reason Big Dave rated the series like that

Watched a bunch of matches from New Beginning: Tana vs Matt Riddle This sucked, none of Riddle's offense looked in place in a NJPW ring, his chops look and sound extremely rear end. Also does he really do that "I kick my slippers off upon landing into the ring" thing all the time? Disgusting. David Finlay vs Nic Nemeth I actually liked this one a bit? The superkick to Gedo spot was awesome (along with the stealth shillelagh pass). But it ran a bit too long and it felt like the match was unnecessarily padded (story of post-2018 Bushiroad NJPW matches really). Nic actually seems motivated though the knee selling felt a bit fake. I'm pretty higher on Finlay than the rest of the forum but he did look like a guy who was dropping the title lol Hiromu Takahashi vs DOUKI This ruled. The crowd went from backing Hiromu to being fully behind DOUKI in real time. Really well-earned. I adored the lucha-based counters, while they weren't super clean they kinda sold me on the story of DOUKI pulling out all the stops to beat the best junior heavyweight in the world. Him finally landing the Suplex de la Luna was magnificent. Mayu Iwatani vs Mina Shirakawa yooooooo wtf I really need to get into STARDOM. Instant fan of Mayu, wrestlers going into a trance-like state and going full murder mode is one of my personal favorite bits in wrestling.

yea ok posted:whats the consensus on fat boy walker? seems like he's improving pretty quickly with the nerd guiding him along I like him, he seems engaged with the product and is eager to contribute. Kevin in his later years felt like he was just there taking a paycheck and would bring too much of a personal touch in the comms like crypto or stats from Chris Samsa like who gives a poo poo lol. I just wish he'd stop calling the Italian Stretch #32 as the Douki Chokey. Like come on.

I haven't seen the show but I peeped Cagematch and the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship match was a ref stoppage. Was this basically like Shun Skywalker (c) vs HipHop Kikuta for the Dream Gate title back in 2021?

Chinston Wurchill posted:I haven't seen that show, but there was a pre match brawl and YOH injured his shoulder, so the match didn't even start. ok it was worse then In Kikuta's case they got to a minute or two then he got wrecked after doing a very normal spot

I wouldn't mind Ren winning the title, it would just further justify his turn. But also I'd love it if Shota's the one to take the title off Moxley. It's a gamble but I'm really glad they're taking chances with their booking.

when was the last time someone lost in challenging for the Jr. title pre-BOSJ in the same year, won BOSJ, and proceeded to win the title? KUSHIDA vs Hiromu in 2017 was it?
