NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 - January 4, 2023

[Death By Looch]

All the goosebumps

 

[Death By Looch]

Incredible match, because of course it was. Even for just being around 5-6 minutes long...

...and yea, yea Mercedes. I dunno. She's gonna get that Title fast, should she really have a longer stay in Japan. I'm just not sure if that's a good thing or not. We'll see.

TOP GUYS TIME

 

[Death By Looch]

And Bishamon time too... let's not forget that.

 

[Death By Looch]

Oh shit... Yoshi-Hashi and Wheeler tumbling out of the ring with a Suplex looked like a rough landing

 

[Death By Looch]

This Tag Match slaps hard. Bishamon wins, which was to be expected, I'd say.

Overall great outing, but it felt a bit samey to the Jr. Tag Title Match. If I didn't count wrong, both matches had the same amount of last second Tag partner breaks up the pin moments. Still great match.

 

[Death By Looch]

Narita/Sabre now... Let's get technical, bitches

 

[Death By Looch]

Blonde Zack Sabre... didn't know he's such a big Cody fan

 

[Death By Looch]

Can't even set it into words really... what a Match

Great story as well. Sabre worked the arm and won because of it. That's how you do it.

 

[Death By Looch]

Tama vs. Anderson coming up... the only Match where I already know who won, thanks to the WWE Thread.

 

[Death By Looch]

Oh nice start... that caught me off-guard a bit

 

[Death By Looch]

Very nice ending sequence, except for that last Stun Gun being a bit botchy. Great overall story too. That was another hit and still no misses on the show so far

 

[Death By Looch]

Final Muto New Japan Match... and it's another line-up that promises excellence

 

[Death By Looch]

Aw come on Tanahashi... let the old man do his Moonsault

 

[Death By Looch]

TRIPLE SUBMISSION HOLD TIME
