Don't think Connor ever goes to Vince. Even if Diaz drops him he'll be swimming in cash.

I can't believe I'm rooting for KAI (and Nomura), but here we are.
KAI's journey to redemption is story of the year, brother

He had a really good Champion Carnival, and his team with Mashimo had potential.
Dropping the Onita tribute act and focusing on in-ring stuff helped.
Good match so far too.

Back to Strong BJ to hold the tag scene up.
Oh boy, Uncle Jun to make a challenge for the belts.

Akiyama made his name in tag matches, and this could a fun feud for Strong BJ.
Here we go with Kojima vs. SUWAMA.

GOD DAMN IT DOERING.
Wait, is this how All Japan gets out of paying the license for Kojima's music.

1) Joe has such an awesome 80s look
2) Why the hell isn't Tenzan in Kojima's corner.

The crowd doesn't know to boo or cheer Kojima.
Huh. That's...unexpected.

Well, guess they could afford to play it once
They've kind of made AJPW look second rate to NJPW tonight. I mean, it is, but there's no need to show it in every interpromotional match.

Yes, SUWAMA, keep the chip on your shoulder and tell Kojima to go fuck himself with that handshake.
BIG DOG time.

The picture they use for Ishikawa is just the best

Yeah. Even if TAKA is associated with K-Dojo, his victory, Taichi beating Aoyagi, and Kojima beating SUWAMA all put AJPW firmly below NJPW.
They tried to protect SUWAMA by having Doering jump him, but the story should end with him beating Kojima. Unless this partnership extends beyond this show, they've let SUWAMA's and even Aoyagi's stories down.

I'm buying these near falls, and Ishikawa is fucking Miyahara up. Really digging this.

Given how the rest of the show was structured, Miyahara surely has to be going over.

And just as soon as I post that...lovely straightjacket suplex.

That was really good, and I would have been happy with either result, but I wish Ishikawa retained. There are fresh match-ups with Ishikawa, but Miyahara's story should have ended with him getting the title back at the biggest show.
Did they just say "We're 1-1 in our match-up"? Because I could definitely go for a rubber match between them.
I usually think that wrestling shouldn't be longer than 3 hours, but this was a really easy 4.5+ hours show to watch. Nothing dragged, and the money matches mostly delivered on my expectations. SUWAMA vs. Kojima was disappointing, but even then it was an interesting mess.
Now, to nap and then go for a run because holy shit the sun is up.

That's what I'm thinking, big time rubber match to build to and have Miyahara defend against Joe or something in the meantime.

If I was fantasy booking I'd have Miyahara win next years G1 as an outsider, win the IWGP title at WK and then drop it at Dominion.
I'd have done that with Marafuji last year to be honest though lol. I love interpromotional stuff when it's done well (which seems to be pretty much never)

I don't think we'll ever see someone from other promotion win the IWGP title, unless it's someone who was previously in New Japan.
