Well he's super heeling it up tonight

He's being a big meanie that's for sure

 

[excelsiorlef]

God bless YTR

Lol Tonga is just being Yano


Ha ha but no one can out Yano Yano.

 

[miserable]

I love Yano

but that match with Elgin was FAKKIN BOOLSHIET

 

[klonere]

Tama tried to play Yanos game!

 

[miserable]

OI Chono in the house!

 

[excelsiorlef]

Tama tried to play Yanos game!

It was pretty fun.


Hey yay Kojima.

Good match but nothing special

 

[klonere]

KOJI!

I wonder if Minoru will move out of his comfort zone at all for this.

I very much doubt it.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I can't decide of I love Elgin's music or hate it

I think I like the main riff but it's too quiet and the whole song is tinny and the drums too loud.


Another just good match.

Not the best night to come back live.

 

[miserable]

so everyone who had a chance is eliminated

except Omega of course

 

[excelsiorlef]

Kenny Omega is going to Kurt Angle himself if he's not careful

 

[klonere]

HOLY FUCK

 

[Hex]

JUUUUIIIIICE!!!!!

 

[Nekofrog]

YAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

thats how you fucking book a babyface underdog

his victory doesn't have to be important. it doesnt have to achieve anything. it just has to mean something to the character.

 

[excelsiorlef]

What

 

[miserable]

da fuck

wait, this means EVIL is winning!

 

[klonere]

fucking MASSIVE pop for the finish in Osaka.

 

[john tv]

WTFFFFFFF

 

[Nekofrog]

setting up a US title match to transition the belt off kenny?

hopes too high?

 

[British Monsoon]

That ruled, they've done such an amazing job with Juice and he has totally grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Dude's going to be huge one day, if he sticks around long enough.

 

[klonere]

Man I didn't know Juice was quite that popular. The fans were all over him on the way out there.

 

[excelsiorlef]

So uh Naito vs Okada final then?

Cause I doubt Okada is losing to anyone but maybe Omega (and now I'm doubting even that frankly)...


This sets up a US title match nicely though.

No coincidence that the two to beat Omega are North Americans

 

[Hex]

THAT is fantastic booking and a hell of a way to give juice the rub.
Kenny will be just fine, he still looked amazing and it was a great underdog surprise

 

[miserable]

Okada is HYPE

 

[British Monsoon]

Okada's probably losing to MiSu - he needs title defences for KoPW and Destruction, maybe Power Struggle as well. Then it'll all come down to Omega vs Okada.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Huge props to New Japan. They booked that really well. Booked Juice really well all G1 and now they have another wrestler over with the fans.

This really helps the US Title too. Very impressed.

 

[klonere]

Okada's probably losing to MiSu - he needs title defences for KoPW and Destruction, maybe Power Struggle as well. Then it'll all come down to Omega vs Okada.

I can't say I'm all that enthused about a Suzuki attempt at the belt again. MiSu really feels like he's let the foot off the gas since getting back to NJPW.

That said, EVIL winning seems really, really out there.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Jeez that looked silly, should've done a tree of woe type spot rather than fiddle around and get Evil back up on the turnbuckle :/

 

[klonere]

FUCKING HELL EVIL

JUST CHUCKED THAT CHAIR STRAIGHT AT OKADA'S FACE

EDIT: DARKNESS FALLS ON THE CHAIRS!

 

[excelsiorlef]

Okada's probably losing to MiSu - he needs title defences for KoPW and Destruction, maybe Power Struggle as well. Then it'll all come down to Omega vs Okada.

Ooooh right

The Okada/Suzuki rematch is still coming.

Holy shit Darkness Falls fuuuuck.


Woah Evil is gonna fuck himself by bringing Okada back in the ring. Good story actually.

 

[Hex]

Evil....why?
It is not a title match??

 

[klonere]

If this was the 80s they'd both be bleeding so goddamn much

 

[excelsiorlef]

Evil....why?
It is not a title match??

He wants to pin the champ...

Spoiler

He's losing

 

[reptilescorpio]

lol ANOTHER turnbuckle botch?!

EDIT: Fuck that springboard dropkick looked INCREDIBLE, so beautiful

 

[Hex]

He wants to pin the champ...

Spoiler

He's losing

Sadly obvious now.
So thought that they would put him over with the G1 he has had

 

[excelsiorlef]

That was a picture perfect top rope front dropkick my god

 

[klonere]

I mean they sold out Osaka with this match on top.

They could totally use it as a KOPW main event.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Agree 100%. Evil has been fantastic this G1. Would be more interesting than Suzuki again.

 

[klonere]

FUCKING LARIATOOOOo

2.99999999!

 

[excelsiorlef]

I love how over Lariats are


EVIL is getting the it takes multiple rainmakers treatment


YESSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[klonere]

EVERYTHING

EEEEEEVVVVVVIIIILLLLLLLL

 

[reptilescorpio]

EDIT: Everybody losing their shit lol

 

[Hex]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL!!!!!!!! FUCK YES!!!!!!!

 

[excelsiorlef]

EVERYTHING

EEEEEEEEVIL

 

[Hex]

I FUCKING LOVE NEW JAPAN.

Juice AND Evil....THAT is how you create stars!!!

Fucking amazing time to be a wrestling fan


And Okada made him look like pure gold and same with Kenny and Juice

 

[Lightning Count]

EVERYTHING IS EVIL!

 

[reptilescorpio]

Great match aside from the 2 turnbuckle spots. Title match should be awesome.

 

[excelsiorlef]

THIS

IS

EVIL


EVERYTHING

IS

EEEEEEVIL


Yaaaaaaah boy

Okada sold Everything is Evil like a million bucks.

 

[miserable]

YES!

DARKNESS! EVILNESS!

 

[klonere]

This totally plays into the SANADA/EVIL rivalry as well.

EVIL gets the title shot but SANADA beat EVIL. Turmoil in LIJ incoming!

 

[Hex]

Seriously so hype right now.
What should have been an average filler night had me out of my seat so many times and marking out.
