Do we really need separate threads for this?

Do we really need separate threads for this?

It was done for WK9. Why not for this one, too?

 

[Bort]

Idk, can't we just discuss it in the official thread? Seems futile this way.

Of course we can. I guess it's just a habit factor, we usually create a 'rate this' thread after pretty much every other pro-wrestling PPV.

 

[Bort]

Maybe you should keep that habit for PPVs watched more than four posters, lol.

Oh, okay. :dawg:

Well, if any of the mods/admins have a problem with this thread, feel free to delete it.

Great stuff as usual from New Japan

 

[TMBS]

Bullet Club for life. *throws it up*

 

[Prince Bálor]

It was a great show. 8/10

Positives:
- Sho Tanaka vs Yohei Komatsu was alright for a 5 minute long match.

- Kota Ibushi vs Tomoaki Honma was a great match all the way through, loved it.

- IWGP Jr. Tag Team Championship
reDRagon vs Young Bucks vs Time Splitters was so awesome and action-packed, I loved it. I also love it that the Young Bucks won the titles!

- IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship
Kenny Omega vs Ryusuke Taguchi was some truly excellent stuff.

- CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, Kazushi Sakuraba & Toru Yano) vs Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga & Yujiro Takahashi) was decent.

- Yuji Nagata, Satoshi Kojima & Tetsuya Naito vs CHAOS (Shinsuke Nakamura, Tomohiro Ishii & YOSHI-HASHI) was decent.

- IWGP Tag Team Championship
Bullet Club (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson) vs Meiyu Tag (Hirooki Goto & Katsuyori Shibata) was pretty solid. Gallows & Anderson regaining the titles was a tad bit surprising, but I'm still glad about it.

- IWGP Heavyweight Championship
AJ Styles vs Hiroshi Tanahashi was uber-awesome, loved it!

Negatives:
- Tiger Mask & Mascara Dorada vs Manabu Nakanishi & Captain New Japan was meh, boring.
- Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Jushin Thunder Liger vs Chase Owens & Rob Conway was meh, didn't like it. The best part of it was the very finish to the match, a Package Piledriver on Liger.

AJ/Tana getting dat love, swell.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Why wouldn't it? It's well deserved.

But anyways, I felt bad for Tana... Dayumn, that was a nasty cut.

 

[Bort]

You should feel more bad for Matt Jackson, hehe.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Well yeah, but Tana got the worst of it.

 

[Leo C]

That collision was brutal. The look on Matt's face when they cut to him sitting down at ringside after it described it perfectly.
It's funny how he jumped onto like 7 guys and something went wrong when at WK9 he jumped way farther onto one dude and no one got hurt, lol
