I don't think JR has pronounced Los Ingobernables correctly once.

Again I just am having to get used to a very different NJPW feel and presentation and it's not easym

Sanada is a very handsome man. He will be a fine ace in 2019.
FUCK Hiromu vs. Dragon Lee.

That was an...unconventional angle on the double dive.
And they missed Dragon Lee's drop kick completely.

I'm so excited we get to hear JR pronounce "Kazuchika" 29 different ways tonight.

I was watching live on Youtube, and now its ended. Any way to watch it here in India? Please do PM me!
It's really all over the place.

Commentary has been not good. Kelly and Callis are much better because they actually know the product inside and out. I know why AXS is using their guys, but man JR in particular is just not doing well. Which is strange because he was fantastic on the WWE UK stuff and Takeover a few months ago.

This guy is named hangman and he wears a noose? Ehhhh

Thanks.
I just wanted to hear how bad it was. It's a shame given JR was pretty good calling the last UK event.

Yep
Both matches have basically been fine but below your standard NJPW show quality which when trying to expand is... not good.

JR has a harder time with the faste multi-man matches. He'll be better with the singles matches.
He should be better when it's not 8-10 guys doing flips with no psychology.

JR feels like he's in a mode where he doesn't give a fuck about non-WWE stuff anymore now that he has his job back.

Heh in terms of delivering the authentic NJPW experience it's been spot on so far
But yeah, nothing blowaway.

God that belt is so gaudy, perfect for a US belt.

He did that in studio did he not? I think JR just isn't as great live anymore
Lol LIJ just beat up the ref during the break.
I can't believe LIJ is getting heel heat lmao.
Lol JR calling them jackasses.

I was watching the marathon throughout the day and I didn't really find him all that impressive there either.
He did the Takeover match live and was fantastic.
He's literally getting basic information wrong and making wildly inaccurate statements about the product in general.

JR has been bad in 2017. No way around it.
Not going to fault the guy because of the personal shit he's been through, but yeah, he's lost a step.

Disagree that it's spot on NJPW experience.
Matches have been of lesser quality and the camera work is shit.

Good point.
They did a good job of making the US title as ugly as possible. Naito should win and toss it in the trash.

Trying to sell a fresh awesome stable like LIJ as DX/nWo lite is appalling

That said, Barnett has been good, as usual.

They went out of their way to start with the most boring match up

The production so far feels way more ROH and way less like standard NJPW in terms of quality of commentary and cameras.

Minus the terrible camera work, this feels like a Road To ____ or a Korakuen Hall show
