NJPW Road to Tokyo Dome - December 21-22, 2023

[Chris]

Hell yeah Shota and Kaito just did the mega powers handshake

 

[Chris]

The way Chris is talking about the Despy/Hiromu match being the end of a chapter and start of a new one for me worried they're gonna do some fuck shit with the junior division lmao

 

[Chris]

Kojima having his best singles win percentage since 2010 this year fuck yeah

 

[Chris]

Need more Hiromu/Shingo tag matches

 

[Chris]

It's wild that people think Sanada is no selling the Tokyo dome when in all the few promos he's done the whole point is that he's clearly barely holding himself together trying to play cool bc of how emotional the match is for him

 

[Chris]

Tsuji/Uemura having a nice little feud building too

 

[Chris]

I've already heard absolutely dreadful things about this whiskey ladder match, I'm so excited

 

[Chris]

That was so fucking long overall tho that was fun

 

[Chris]

And Taichi is official KOPW 2023

 

[Chris]

They had to completely strip and recanvas the ring before the main event

 

[Chris]

Fucking Henare bro

 

[Chris]

Great main event, really good show for the most part

 

[Leon TrotSky]

These KoPW matches sound like I'd love them tbh, and yet everyone who watches NJPW trashes them

*English speaking watchers. Crowds go nuts booing hot for example. It's weird

The non-HOT/Yano ones are pretty raved about. Taichi/Shingo/Henare have had some amazing ones against each other with weird stips.

My only complaint is how long some are such as this ladder match and that one time fucking Yano and Chase Owens almost went 30 in an I quit match
