That was actually last year's press. Still funny tho

Day 1 was fun. Good Main Events with some "selling issues". Naito is pretty interesting right now

Oh, I didn't know. Just came across that vine somewhere on Tumblr and LOL'd at it like a mad man.

I've yet to watch day 1. The matches I'm looking forward to the most are Shibata/AJ and Tana/Ibushi.

As far as sleazy Naito goes, what can I say? I love the dude. Aaand, his trip to Heel City has been enjoyable thus far.

This upcoming NJPW tour makes me sad. Boring booking plans ahead, folks. Time for Goto to get buried again.

I have to admit being slightly worried about the upcoming AJ Styles and Okada match. I think the Tanahashi and Styles match was the best G1 encounter and with Tanahashi winning and likely main eventing the January 4 show, added onto the heat at the end of their G1 match, a Tanashi and Styles encounter might be on it's way. I certainly hope not, but I guess the Styles and Okada match will be more enjoyable for me if I think AJ stands a chance of winning.

I would have nothing against another AJ/Tana encounter, seeing as how their G1 match was the best of the tourney.

Gimme Styles/Okada, too. They are excellent and will deliver another classic, I am sure.

Plus, cannot wait for The Ace vs the new Ace at the Tokyo Dome.
