The first major New Japan US show of the year starts in a few hours in San Jose. The Matt Riddle booking is very unfortunate but the rest of the card looks really good by NJPW-US standards. Three really solid to great looking top of the card matches and some fun lower card stuff like the CMLL offer match. Hopefully the X is someone cool at least who lasts longer than Riddle.

Like most US shows it is a PPV. Its an affordable one fortunately at US$19.99 on Fite/Triller. Japanese feed is available for those in that country free on World.

X is probably Danielson, right? He's not advertised for Collision and it'd make sense to build the match with Zack.

Meltzer said he thinks its probably Jeff Cobb, and also TK probably wouldn't want Danielson teaming with Riddle (maybe?)

Psyched for this show

I assume x is some kind of babysitter in Japan for riddle to try and keep him from loving up too much. Cobb from that perspective makes sense

Are the commentary team micced up WAY high for anybody else? I had to crank down the volume to get them at what felt a reasonable level but lost a lot of the crowd noise, so pushed it back up and the commentary is just blasting my ears.

Yeah, it's peaking frequently which is kinda aggravating, as the crowd seems pretty lively and I'd like to be able to hear them without commentary tearing my eardrums out.

The sound was pretty abysmal for the Lonestar Shootout show iirc. And the Royal Quest show. Idk why they can't get their sound right when they ain't in Japan
