I just finished the show, I needed sleep so I didn't watch it live. The Shibata return came out of nowhere, wonderful to see him moving around.

That botched piledriver on the table in the main event was way too dangerous.
 
I'm just finishing the 8/8 show with Suzuki vs. Okada now. I'm a little burnt out on wrestling after yesterday, but I must push through.

Meanwhile, I found Zach in Digimonstory: Cyber Sleuth:

I was damn near tears when shibata came out.

I don't think it was a botch, I think it was the plan.

Was totally planned.
Naito moved the rail just for it and held onto it on the way down to protect the fall.
Kenny's head was protected the entire time.
It was a great set up and a great work.
Much better way to go then to try and trust the table the way tables have gone this G1

Real talk...I haven't paid attention to Dragon Gate in a good while with NJPW being so hot even though a few of my faves are from there (Masato Yoshino is a big fave of mine).

How are they doing in numbers? Are they struggling? Losing ground? Gaining ground? Doin same as always?I keep seeing them put up full shows from the past few months and just skimming they look like low turnouts.

Can I finally hope for some of its talent to drift to NJPW? I really really wanna see some of them there. I feel Yamato and BxB Hulk could really work in NJPW.

No idea about financials or crowd numbers, but I think the consensus this year is that critically it's been a bad year. Some of it is out of their hands with injuries and some is because of some head-scratching booking. YAMATO's reign has not been too great.

Thats sad too considering how long they pushed the feuds to get him into that slot back in the day. Him and BxB Hulk were at it awhile. Honestly makes you wonder if they backed the wrong half of Yamato/Naruki Doi when they finally went after each other. I really wish all of these guys would just get absorbed by NJPW. It'd round out the numbers for the NJPW locker room and lead to some fresh matchups for a long while.

Is Masato Yoshino still out BTW? He always delivered. That is until Shingo jacked his whole spine up on that DVD botch.

A lot of people feel Doi should've won at Final Gate and I think everyone thought he should've been the one to challenge YAMATO at Kobe World instead of T-Hawk. They're definitely in a curious place but I believe Big R and Mochizuki are having a #1 contender match which I'm excited about.

DG is still the #2 promotion in Japan and they've still got a bright future with young guys like Big R and Ben-K and Yamamura. I certainly don't want anyone to leave, except Shingo but that's just because I want to see him wrestle everyone.

And yeah Yoshino has returned and miraculously didn't miss a step. Speed Muscle had the match of the night against CIMA and Dragon Kid at Kobe World.
 
Just vomited wtf do I have.

You went to a sushi bar, you knew what evil you were messing with.

They should send Big Van Vader to Boston to return and help Progress out!

So it's basically no contest at this point, right? Omega is the wrestler of the year, easy. 2 6+ star matches, another 5 star match (might be higher), and very likely another 5+ star match with Naito.

I was there. Despite it being an awesome show, fuck was their luck horrible.
