been sick the last 2 days which is screwing with my sleep, so i was able to watch the last 2 matches live. both really good. ibushi/okada was a lot better than i thought it would be.

Enjoyed the last two matches a bunch as well :yes: Okada/Ibushi had a hell of a finishing stretch. Some nasty bumps in there. I think I probably liked it more than last year's equivalent - Tanahashi/Devitt.

Bullet Club/Goto & Shibata was fairly dull and also watched the opener. Had a cool near fall spot for the young boys which the crowd got excited for.

Gallows has not been all that good in NJPW

[Ringo]

Yeah, not from what I've seen. Disappointing really.

[Tainted Eclipse]

its weird. njpw needs a real top gaijin. devitt is good with what he does and all but they need a big, killer foreigner to mix things up at the top of the card.

They must have really soured on Desperado to be setting him up to lose his mask against Liger
