No shaky cam, no zooms and none of that ugly constant red light over the crowd either.

 

[Vee_One]

And there is the shitty Twitter stream

 

[Man God]

THAT MUSTACHE IN THE SECOND ROW.

 

[Aiii]

THAT MUSTACHE IN THE SECOND ROW.

JESUS, IT IS GLORIOUS!

There's a bearded guy too

 

[shwimpy]

remember when Jericho had abs?

 

[ANuclearError]

The Devitt promos on NXT had footage from PROGRESS, ICW, IPW and even New Japan and more. That's how WWE rolls now.

WWE's policy is basically "No TNA mentions" at this point I feel like.

 

[Xater]

THAT MUSTACHE IN THE SECOND ROW.

In the way de shot it looks like a little kid with a huge mustache.

 

[Fox318]

It needs to be said again: FUCK bucky beaver. Even commentary is on point and actually calling moves.

Seriously this is great

 

[Toki767]

Saxton even mentioned Strong Style.

This is like the bizarro world of commentary.

I'm guessing Vince just didn't bother going to Japan.

Cole even said "WWE fans" and not "WWE Universe".

 

[Aiii]

If I were a wrestler I'd never want to work anywhere but Japan, love Japanese crowds.

 

[Man God]

This finisher takes waaay too long.

EDIT: JERICHO IS A YOUNG LION.

 

[FDC1]

Real Liontamer!

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

I'm sure I remember someone saying at one point that NJPW fans and WWE fans are totally separate in Japan, and the WWE ones copy what they see on TV so are louder.

Dragon Gate callout!

They must have some cross over fans tonight because of Balor and Brock

 

[miserable]

lol no liontamer for you Japan!

 

[Aiii]

How do you patent a submission maneuver anyways?

And if you can patent wrestling moves and the like, wouldn't every MMA fighter do it so other people can't use any submissions?

 

[Toki767]

Real Liontamer!

Nah. Real Liontamer is Jericho putting his knee on the back of the guy's head.

 

[Heroman]

This match is surprisingly good.

 

[Man God]

Standard, bog issue, CAW Young Lion Boston Crab.

 

[ScribbleD]

Hearing a Japanese crowd be so loud is really jarring.

 

[Aiii]

This match is surprisingly good.

You thought Neville vs. Jericho would be a bad or mediocre match?

 

[Jezbollah]

No shaky cam, no zooms and none of that ugly constant red light over the crowd either.

This. And that Simon Gotch lookalike. And Japanese fans.

Great way to start the day.

 

[Man God]

He should make that his standard finisher.

 

[Aiii]

The bearded guy is wearing a KO shirt, I think he's cosplaying Kevin Owens.

 

[Vee_One]

This is a great match from Y2Dadbod (my gfs observation)
Good seeing Y2J, his tattoos are bad though

 

[Toki767]

That was super well timed.

 

[Man God]

This version and the 2014 version of Jericho finally have the right age to his chest. 2011-2013 he just looked weird.

 

[Heroman]

You thought Neville vs. Jericho would be a bad or mediocre match?

Jericho macth against bray last me with a bad taste in my mouth.

 

[FlammableD]

Loads of folks in this thread seem to think Jericho is a shit tier wrestler now based off... no evidence I can see. They just hate his Twittah

 

[Jezbollah]

THATS the full liontamer!

 

[Man God]

Bray Wyatt doesn't have good matches most of the time. His final one against Jericho, his match against Bryan, and 2 of the 3 Cena matches are really good. The rest...bleh.

 

[Toki767]

Jericho macth against bray last me with a bad taste in my mouth.

Their styles really don't mesh. Plus what was an actual good Bray Wyatt singles match that wasn't with Bryan?

Yes! Real Liontamer! And they called it!

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Holy shit Cole just used a non-signature/finishing move name (Standing shooting star press) Vince must not be there.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Good match.

 

[Vee_One]

This reminds me a lot of the matches from one night stand 05/06. No real buildup or stories - just quality wrestling.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Good Match

 

[Cheetos is Pretty Awesome]

Cole even called it a Lion Tamer. Thank fuck Vince is asleep.

 

[Fox318]

Fucking great and different finish.

Fantastic and the camera work is so much fucking better than we get in the states.

 

[shwimpy]

great match!

 

[Man God]

Jericho filled his special meter and wiggled the stick to get the real ass liontamer.

 

[Aiii]

They are even using different graphics for replays. Love this.

 

[Xater]

Holy shit Cole just used a non-signature/finishing move name (Standing shooting star press) Vince must not be there.

A lot of the guys that are terrible for WWE must not be there today.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Fucking great and different finish.

Fantastic and the camera work is so much fucking better than we get in the states.

It's that goof Dunn

 

[miserable]

the Beast has arrived!

 

[ScribbleD]

Slightly bummed they didn't decide to put Neville over, but it's just a one-off Network special. Presentation, camera work, crowd, commentary, and most importantly the match were all really good. It's like bizarro-world WWE.

 

[Kaiterra]

I've been getting a real kick out of this crowd mimicking the chants from the American shows. Now I need the American audiences to start giving applause.

 

[Toki767]

A lot of the guys that are terrible for WWE must not be there today.

Vince and Dunn basically.

I wonder if this Divas match actually goes long.

 

[Xater]

I want a feature of Brock just walking through the streets of Tokyo. Is that weird?

 

[Fox318]

Now we get to see Nikki take bumps off of the steps.

 

[FlammableD]

who booked tamina

 

[Man God]

Aja Kong? Bull Nakano?
