Crowd seems a bit more tired after the last few matches which is understandable.

it's also not nearly as good as those matches, tbh

I haven't rewatched it but I'm pretty sure I enjoyed the Cody match more than this. At least his douchebag antics gave the match some character

I also don't care about EVIL at all

 

[excelsiorlef]

I love this aggressiveness from Okada

LARIATOOOOO

A fine night for the graps

Noooooo EVIL got fucked

 

[Brian_FETO]

RIP Jabronievil

The last stretch was good stuff but man the good majority of that match was a whole lot of nothing

I'm not the biggest EVIL guy either.

I dunno, I feel like that was the weakest match out of the last few. Didn't do much for me but there were admittedly some great spots.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Can't wait for lolkada loses

 

[mrboo001]

I fell asleep half way and only saw the last 5 mins :/

But I think it was not as good as the last two matches

Fun night! Got up at 3 am and now its 6am time for bed again

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I’m only watching the two HIaC due to time, but Shane and KO is pretty god damn boring. I like KO but I feel like the dude has terrible pacing problems.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Gedo taunting EVIL like he's not the biggest clown out there

 

[HashtagLapsed]

It was an awesome show overall and that last match wasn't bad by any means at all. I'm really glad I ended up watching it, it was a lot of fun!

Naito vs Ishii and Ospreay vs KUSHIDA were amazing. RPG 3K was awesome too.

 

[excelsiorlef]

YES HERE WE GO


CROWD SUPER PRO NAITO


Okada just interrupted Naito... no respecting douche

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I just don't want the WK match to be Naito getting offense for 90% of the match then rainmakers Okada wins. I just don't want that.

 

[Kensation]

"TRANQUILO..AS.."
"Naito-san."

LOL

It's Naito's time.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

It's Naito's time.

It is. Okada chasing Naito is a more compelling story for 2018, for me anyway.

That was a good night of Wrestling but also the single most physically painful experiences of my life, came close to bailing a few times

You got through it friend! The cathartic release of stretching may make it all worth it.

Or you could track down Suzuki and hit him up for advice on where to get a good massage.

I marked out hardcore for heel Sami!

Even though WWE will probably f**k it up completely, I have zero confidence in anything they do.

Biggest lol goes to the foot on the rope pinfall break during a NO COUNTOUTS, NO DISQUALIFICATION, FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE HELL.. IN.. A.. CELL! match though.

LOL

Yeah, a dumb moment for Kevin because the ref had to call it off. Even commentary mentioned it.

Yeah, that match really didn't need to be 40 minutes long. PPV overrun has led to these bloated main events that take too long to get going (looking at you HHH)

Oh shit KOPW is on time to abandon thread

I think a massage is what I need, my back is bruised from the railing, can't even lean back on it 😔.

Not overly the best way to end my time in Tokyo, but onto Nagoya tomorrow, will sort through my pics and post up the best soonish

Good morning, Mark-GAF

I told y’all Sami was turning heel.

It’s like poetry.

Yes, it did.
That time took it from being a Shane stunt show, to everyone nail biting as tension mounted while they were on top of the cage.
Was that the gimmick, was one of the panels going to give? We had no idea so any move could have been the one.
Matches need time to tell stories.
The New Day match was ever better due to getting an extra 10 mins.

I'm glad commentary at least mentioned it and called the ref out for calling the break. I was so confused when it happened.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Didn't someone say there has been a stretcher spot at every ppv post summerslam?

Yep

I think today even, lol

 

[avengers23]

Could one of you Sting haters no see a bat blow to the face?

You could've streamlined the first 15 minutes of the match and it would've had the same impact.

The New Day and Usos used all they time they got well, Shane and KO didn't. Shane is pushing 50 years old, I don't expect him to go hard for 40 minutes. Granted, I skipped everything after the first match, so that first 15 minutes was probably breath of fresh air for the folks that sat through the last 2 hours of garbage.

My problem with that match going on for forty minutes was that it was probably 15 minutes of just sitting around or half hearted holds. Maybe it's just my displeasure of Shane and how he wrestles, but the match just dragged on for me. I did not get a feel of good storytelling.
