Love the colorfulness of Kushida's gear tonight.

I still say Nakamura hasn't been a complete flop, only when compared to his hype. But if you try to ignore that and just look athis run in a vaccuum, it's been solid just with some boring points

 

[Chris]

I wonder if they're still gonna do overruns since Miz & Mrs. new episodes are next...it'd mess up my recording of it if they did

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

Nak's run has been alright, I was never that high on him in NJPW outside from a few really good matches tbh

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

But he's one of those guys who phones it in a lot even when he was in NJPW

 

[Chris]

I was a pretty big fan of him in NJPW but I didn't think it'd translate to America that well

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

This match has been fun though

 

[Chris]

Bout what I expected, which means it's been real good

 

[Showstopper]

I think part of why Nak's run has been bashed so much is because when news broke that he signed with WWE alot of NJPW fans on the forum I used to post on (and the internet in general) were saying he was going to come into WWE and put all of the WWE fanboy favorites to shame in terms of in-ring work/matches. And, well, that didn't happen to the degree some of them made it seem it would.

He's still had a solid run, though.

Even the AJ matches were disappointing

Yep. I remember reading quite a bit of folks saying AJ/Nak at WM was going to give HBK/Taker WM 25 a run for it's money..

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

This match is awesome

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

This has been top to bottom a fantastic fucking show

 

[Showstopper]

NXT has really been killing it for a few months now.

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

Absolutely
