I give it a 9/10 for sure, and Kenny's entrance was just way too cool.

Kenny's entrance filled me with DETERMINATION, and this is coming from someone who typically doesn't like Undertale. A very poetic end to his run in New Japan until ROH does something to piss of New Japan and they end up crawling back to the Bucks and Omega to form a partnership with AEW.

Agreed, everything about it was perfect.

Hey, guess what? I just got done watching New Year's Dash, and I have to say it was pretty good. I will give it a 6/10, it was nothing fancy but it got the job done for what it was supposed to do.

Also, forewarning I am trying to catch up on NJPW, so late of stuff will be late as I have to catch up on about three months worth of Wrestling.

To be honest, those shows I kept up with the news for the most part. As much as I like New Japan, the time difference makes it hard to watch all the shows and I mainly focus on the bigger shows, keep up as much as I can with news and their English YouTube channel and watch the others when I have time and matches stand out.

Ah, gotcha. I just got done watching The New Beginning in Sapporo and about to begin Osaka, and didn't know.

I have to say after watching New Beginning in Sapporo, the fact Jay White calls his submission finisher T.T.O, Tanahashi Tapped Out, and is a reverse Figure-Four Leglock is great.

Remind me to add that as a second finisher to my Jay White CAW in 2k.

Apparently, New Japan didn't know anything about the nZo and CasXL "angle", which I still hope isn't true, and they were upset with RoH and said it felt like it took away from the match.

Yeah and apparently Tama Tongo was heard saying "F*** them", "This is b*******", and "Where the f*** was this energy during the f****** match"

Give PCO a break! He had to be charged up and brought to life! (Plus for a 50 year old, he was mental)
