NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 - January 4, 2023

[Lethal]

holy fuck I watched her again. that outfit. the finisher got botched though but hey, sold it like a champ

 

[Chris]

Yeah I'm not sure what the move she was going for was exactly lol

 

[Chris]

The outfit was crazy

 

[Lethal]

Gory Bomb into a DDT I think but Kairi fell too quickly

Yeah it was more like a flatliner lol nbd tho

 

[Wiseman]

Yeah it was more like a flatliner lol nbd tho

Honestly, I think it's why I was underwhelmed by it all. To me it looked like she just dropped her as if she didn't even want to waste the energy in doing a move, in kayfabe obviously. Guess I just felt it all could have been sold better, PLUS I think it took away from Kairi and it being the first women's champion match at WK. *shrugs*

 

[Chris]

I think the bigger travesty was it not being billed higher on the card, especially with Mercedes debuting. Wasn't it like 3rd Match main card?

 

[Chris]

Mercedes vs Kairi should main event over Eddie vs Jay White at thr US PPV too, we'll see if they're cowards or not

have to agree given tonights results. champs should headline

 

[Alexa]

Sasha was going for Weapon X, Cage's finisher.

Also, poor Tam man, but then again if she won she would ahve face Sasha so, guess I shoudl be happy on that

 

[Chris]

Yeah she should just bin that IMO, I'm not a fan of any of those gory special set ups where they spin their opponent around. Gory bomb or widows peak only please

 

[Canadian Dragon]

yeah supposed to be a gory special tornado ddt thing

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Kairi botched it hard tbf lol

 

[Canadian Dragon]

thats why u dont do complicated finishers on exhausted ppl i g

 

[Chris]

How was the women's match itself tho, I was expecting it to possibly be second best after Kenny/Will fairly easily if they gave it respectable time and/or pace
