That about Night 1 or 2?

 

About Night One:

 

Just watched the opener, Nagata vs WALTER and the main. Interesting new gimmick for Oka, sounds like he'll be staying on the UK as his excursion, at least that's what commentary led me to believe. WALTER vs Nagata was good and the main was great. Was this the first time Ishii has ever willingly submited??

 

Oh yeah, and Okada with new pants (I wonder if his mommy made those for him too) and black wrist tape and no Gedo or jacket or jewelery :o

Kenny really getting heat from people on Twitter for this pedo getting booked on the dark match on Friday's CEO show lol. He issued an apology and didn't know any criminals were on the show.

Guest Fight Me.

There was a marathon last night on AXS TV, I believe. I rewatched Omega-Okada IV and Golden Lovers/Young Bucks. Today in about an hour, there's gonna be a "Bullet Club is Fine" marathon leading up to the live show.

Yup...this show feels set up to stumble a bit. I won't say it's set up to fail (because, of course it won't)...but I think the views are going to be low. Very poor advertisement and promotion. Anyway, I'll miss the first hour, but hopefully I can get home in time to watch from 10pm onward.

Sabre Jr. vs Okada and Ishii vs Suzuki were excellent. Sabre/Okada was like waching Inoki vs Billy Robinson and in the UK, I thought that during the match.


Oh and people would be raving about Fletcher vs Jay White had it happened in WWE. That kid's got all the potential in the world.

Well...all I wanted to do was come home and watch this, and NJPW has *censored*ed me again with their content restrictions. I don't have AXS tv. I thought I could watch this on NJPW World, since I *censored*ing pay for it...but, nope. Can't watch the US show, even though my region is US...because, AXS needs the views or whatever garbage it is. *Censored* me.
