[WON] The Tokyo Dome will be undergoing a renovation shortly, something that could last until 1/4 and could affect Wrestle Kingdom

“The Tokyo Dome will be undergoing a renovation shortly and according to Japanese sources, that could be going on still on 1/4. What that would mean for the date or location of WrestleKingdom is unknown or if they’d be open during that period”

Bateman has kind of a cool look

Bateman has kind of a cool look

I can't remember if it was a promo on ROH or NJPW Strong but I became a BIG fan of him off it alone a few weeks ago, plus he was already impressing me more with appearances on both shows

Just finished the show, opening two matches were good, main event was better as it should have been but also a tad disappointing bc I wish it got more time.

hell of a drop kick by that young lion !

 

[Canadian Dragon]

1st match was cool. basic but tight. Bateman is cool, he gives me like a retired grizzled Kraven from Spiderman vibes

 

[Canadian Dragon]

2nd match was alright. A bit long. Also I felt like I was just waiting for the entire time for Fredericks. Fredericks and Mysterioso were the standouts for me in this match.

So yeah I pretty much agree @Chris , good tag match, needed like 10 more minutes. They should have cut 10 minutes from the 6 man as that ending felt a tad anti climactic. Great showing by Brody.

I don't really care for Alex Koslov on commentary much but he has some hilarious lines sometimes lol my favorite are his Mysterioso facts

I think Matt Morris (Drama King) will help a lot on commentary when he joins, he was good on 205 Live before WWE released him

Oh ya matt/Aiden/dk is legit, I'm not a fan of the Russian guy either outside a few lines like u said. It's a bit too dry atm

Kevin Knight is really showing signs of improvement, Bateman was a good opponent for him for sure
