Ha ha ohhhh shit.
You and I would not be satisfied with Naito going over Fale for revenge.
we want Takahashi to go full on Timebomb

Awesome match. Wish it had another ten minutes to build the finish though.

Usually that's my opinion but thought this had a good build myself

Awesome match as expected.
With two losses already, Ishii is on the outside looking in. Not too surprising. Hopefully he'll get an IC run before things start winding or breaking down for him.
I think if the crowd was more into it, it would've felt better. Fale stole the heat, dammit.

Lol Fale you monster.
Okada/Elgin fuck man you couldnt look away from it, great stuff. Woke up the crowd up from Omega and Tama which was dire imo. Like the crowd didn't seem to give a flying fuck and when the crowd dosent get into a match i find it hard to as well. Juice is well over too, him and evil had a very good match that shouldn't be overlooked.

Hell could be part of the build to Naito vs Omega in the finals.
I love how Makabe sells missing thr King Kong Knee Drop

Probably overall the weakest night but in NJPW a weak night is still great
Weakest night so far, but that speaks more to the quality of the tournament thus far.

I'm gonna be on a 3 day train trip across Canada starting tonight but I have 6 gigs of mobile Data so I should be able to stream at least one of the nights if not all 3 depending on how much bandwidth it actually is

Tama Tonga vs EVIL could be a good match.

Finally caught up - this year I wanted to watch *every* match. Just finished Goto/Makabe.
So far ZSJ has been on average my favourite. So glad he beat YOSHI HASHI.
Also loved Ibushi kicking the crap out of Ishii. Wonderful match.

Same, ZSJ is having a great G1, I am so glad he and Naito defeated Yoshi.
Ibushi vs Ishii so far is my favorite match and I really liked Ibushi vs Naito, SZJ vs Ibushi, ZSJ vs Tana and Okada vs Elgin.
I also love how Makabe bashes the head of his opponent in the ring post to do his finisher, always looks brutal.

JEEZUS, we're getting Makabe vs. Goto as the main event? What the crowd do to deserve this?
I guess New Japan wanted Makabe to main event a show in his hometown since it is his 20th year with the company.
It was a great match and a hot crowd.

Still a chance for an Omega Ibushi final

Save that for the dome!
Ibushi vs Suzuki in the finals.

Great is overselling it. It was the best match Makabe could have managed, and the crowd was hot for him.
