Wrestle Kingdom 16 Discussion - January 4, 5, and 8, 2022 on NJPW World

[Chris]

KENTA/Tanahashi was fucking madness

 

[Chris]

THIS MOTHERFUCKER WILL OSPREAY JUST COUNTERED THE RAINMAKER INTO A STANDING SPANISH FLY

 

[Chris]

Okada/Ospreay was just fucking insanity. Okada having both those main events back to back, god damn his back is definitely at 100% now lmao

 

[Chris]

Really fucking loved N2. The Sanada/O-Khan match was a bit of a drag but other than that, this shit delivered. Even that KOPW 4 way ruled bc of Suzuki and CIMA lmao

 

[Chris]

Oh the House of Torture 6-man probably wasn't good either, but I'll be honest I 100% tuned it out

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Da fuck is this booking I watched Despy(El Desperdho sounds like a cool name) and Hiromu have a heck of a Match and Night 2 he's in a Dark Match come now. ^Chris you're hyping me real hard with those comments.

Was trying to find a gif of this but it's not the first time I'm realizing anyway

 

[Chris]

I guess thats still a bit different, the arms stayed locked for this one and it looked way more like ospreay initiated the fly

 

[Comrade Khan]

what! lol thats crazy man

 

[Chris]

what! lol thats crazy man

The one today looked more like this one but still more fluid (how many times have they done this spot btw???)

 

[Kairi HoHo]

I need me a El Despy Entrance gif from Night 1 pretty shocked he tapped out to Wato's new Submission but he needs guys to defend his Junior Title against so you've got the short straw.

 

[CakeWalker]

House of Torture retain by more bullshit - but they continue to be true heels, and literally giving no shits. I do feel HT are being built up to a real big feud down the line

 

[CakeWalker]

Sanada vs. Great-O-Khan was a great match, Khan really took himself to a different level in that one. I have a feeling this is a match that will be down-rated by others, but with a high quality matches really helps build up to what could be argued as being three co-main events to follow

 

[CakeWalker]

I feel Cobb & Naito was meant to last longer, but Cobb 100% injured himself in that match - I don't think that knee injury was kayfabe. Expected much better, but it is what it is.

It's a shoot injury confirmed
