NJPW New Year's Golden Series - January 20-February 20, 2022

[CakeWalker]

Kojima vs. Khan - was much better than I had expected it too be

When LIJ line up - and NAITO isn't even with them. What a fucking unit

 

[CakeWalker]

This Eight man tag is awesome

Holy shit Naito/Okada was insane. One of my favorite NJPW matches all year, or matches in general

They should go for more sub 30 minute main events that are more sprints. You're not gonna do any better long matches than Okada/Omega or even White/Ibushi so let those breath and let's have more sprints (even if this one was almost 30 minutes itself)

yes not every main event needs to be 30+ 100% of the time and I do feel that they fell into a trap of going to that well way to much.

Theyre all still great matches usually its just becoming so formulaic until the last 10 minutes when they might switch it up and you can't help but compare it to the previous ones that are better. I don't think short matches would get compared that way

The Dog Cage match was funny af

Top 5 feud of the year of 2022 for me so far

 

[Chris]

Poor Fujita locked in with Suzuki and when the door got locked Kevin Kelly goes "now the match beyond can begin! Oh wait that's a different match" I was fucking dying

 

[CakeWalker]

HoT - dirty dirty dirty

 

[CakeWalker]

I feel like I blinked and 20 minutes past - this Okada/Naito match is on course for a MOTY candidate at least

 

[Comrade Khan]

Gotta watch that myself. Still got aaa to watch too juice?

 

[CakeWalker]

Great match - just short of a five star big one - but very fucking impressive
