I find his matches to be either incredibly good or very boring. It goes either way.

So you bring Naito to the US and don't give him a single win or the crowd a single Destino.
Why the hell did Jay White get the win
It was a great LIJ tag until a shitty finish.
Crowd had zero reaction to the finish there.
Yo fuck yes to Haku though.

Not yet but not at night 2 main yet.
A few 4-4.5
Add Bucks vs RPG to must see despite some shitty camera work.
Oh god Ricochet needs to be kept away from a mic. Well except him shitting on Lucha Underground lmao.
Woah no more RPG Vice
The main event friend
so I finally watched Okada vs Kenny 1 (from WK)...
why are these nice gentlemen trying to kill each other? that doesnt seem very nice. For realsies tho, what the fuck was that insanity? I have no words.
And you guys say the second is better?

Yep.
Don't watch em back to back tho. Give a bit of space between the two. Like a few days.

Not to mention NJPW pays for hotel and flights
I remember MVP said on a podcast he was paid 20k plus travel to work a WK preshow

And add the main event of night 2 as the final must see and the most must see.
5* absolutely

Night 2 was a top notch show I reckon.

Cagematch shows only one match from 2011, and it doesn't seem to have made tape anywhere.

Night 2 was exactly what I wanted night 1 to be.
Vastly better show.
Production crew was a bit more on the ball
Even commentary was better.
Still a bit of shoddy camera work and angle cuts buuuut not enough to detract like night 1.
Night 2 was probably the 3rd or 4th best NJPW show of the year.
Tanahashi vs Gunn being the only real detraction.
Haha, winning a world title (right?) with a second rope maneuver. I love it.Yep...this was definitely some TNA level selling.

Weirdly enough both Page and Lethal had much better performances on Night 2, probably didn't hurt that Lethal got to fight Kenny Omega and Page had his faults hidden in a big tag match.
But yeah Billy Gunn can go fly a kite

None of them are there all that often really.
Honestly Hangman was getting better over the laat 6 months but he fucking stunk up the joint this weekend. Not sure what happened.

I will give TNA this: the World X Cup and Super X Cup were always pretty cool, even if the company didn't know what to do with the talent outside of the tournaments.
JEEZUS Marufuji.

I really dont mind him. Just disappointed with how he went over the specials.
Cant believe Meltzer did a WOR today.
Lol
Also: ouch.

Santana and Marufuji in a chop battle.
Marufuji does seem a little hesitant because of the six sided ring.

Hangman needs a name change at least. Being a brother I can't get past how linked to racism it is.

He shouldn't have.
But that's dedication.
Wish they had held off so he could grieve properly
Also so he could see both nights in full. Missed his input on the big matches

That opener tag with LAX, team NOAH, team AAA, and Garza Jr. and Laredo Kid was pretty good, but it didn't quite reach the heights I had hoped.
Not-Abyss sounds like Dave Lang.

Awww that Top Rope Meltzer Driver to the Outside is apparently called the Herb Meltzer Driver.
Bucks built the match as a tribute to Dave's Dad
The Meltzer family watched the Bucks match together and the match made them cry. Goddamn The Bucks are the best.

Double Sharpshooter finish was Bucks' tribute to Bret and the Bucks way of sending their condolences for the death of his brother.

Rocky, on the other hand, supposedly has an NXT trainer gig lined up. Either way, RIP RPG Vice theme: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S0pnoTsvWPs
That DeAngelo Williams/Moose vs. Chris Adonis vs. Eli Drake match went as well as it could have.
Give the people what they want with the table spot after the match!

So by my account Omega had a 4.5*, 4* and 5*+ weekend.
And I'd entertain the Elgin match bring 4.75 even.
He's Okada's equal

Seriously, folks, you pull the TNA "to the back" move after the storyline with James Storm collapsing?

That's how the setup for Alberto's stupid double stomp always goes. The guy has to hold himself up so Alberto can hit the move.
