NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 - January 4, 2023

[Smart Marx]

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

I’m fine with it when Cage does it because it looks impactful, but I actually think the F5 should be his main finish.

 

[Smart Marx]

Kairi botched it hard tbf lol

She probably didn’t know how she was supposed to sell it.

 

[Smart Marx]

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

For the 5 minutes they were given it was pretty good. Fast paced and hard hitting. Kairi is always fire.

 

[Smart Marx]

It didn’t give me enough to form an opinion on Tam, though.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

I mean aren’t Kai and Sky the tag team champions?

Plus, leading a stable is in of itself a huge honor in WWE. They don’t do as many as AEW/NJPW do.

Well yes, but the booking around it was kinda weird, and they lost stuff they should’ve won, and they had Bayley beat the hell out of Bianca in a Last Woman Standing match, only for her to be treated like everyone was during Super Cena’s run. Should’ve won War Games since it wasn’t about titles. Think of it like when Punk was Champion. Yeah he was champion, but his booking still was pretty all over the place and he could’ve been treated better.

Also, this thread has made me realize one thing. Why did I ever join here, when I am always in the opposite mind, lol

 

[Smart Marx]

Honestly, I would love to hear them. Feel like I might be on an island myself with a few of my takes that I have on the show.

I’m on an island all by myself that Jay White should have done the unthinkable and ended Okada’s WK winning dominance.

Great match nonetheless, but 17 would have been an instant can’t forget event like 30 being when Taker lost at Mania.

But yeah, we stan independent opinions on here. Share them.

I’m the owener that pays the bills and I’m often the only one that thinks certain things. It’s good to have your own opinions. As long you’re chill and respectful.

We also love having you here.

My opinion is that I have only watched a few Okada matches and have been underwhelmed by him in all of them....

 

[Smart Marx]

I loved the outfit and her body looked fuckin insane but yeah the hair was something lmao

Her body is always so tight. Glad she’s also still wearing her tiny ring gear to show it off.

But yeah, that fire over the blue hair print is lit.

@Silent Bite that Will and Kenny match...bruh

I can’t say I’m underwhelmed, but I would agree in a way that I don’t get why he’s so overprotected. Okada was the champion before White. It would have been fine if he waited another few months to get the belt back and I don’t think he needs to be on the top as much as he is. But maybe it’s because we don’t religiously follow him.

I like him a lot though so it’s not like with Charlotte where it puts me off watching. I just don’t think he’s as good as the press says, but he’s definitely good.

@Silent Bite that Will and Kenny match...bruh
