Matt Sydal makes his NJPW debut on this tour. Interesting that all of DG's gaijin are coming in here.
Someone named Juice Robinson debuts too. Apparently he was formally someone named CJ Parker.
Big matches in Kobe are Goto vs Shinsuke, Tanahashi vs Fale, and Shibata vs Naito. In Okayama it is Makabe vs Ibushi and KUSHIDA vs Omega

Interested to see how CJP does in Japan. Shibata/Naito seems like the most interesting match here. Makabe/Ibushi should be good, and I'm hoping for Ibushi to take the belt. I'm also really intrigued by the Young Lion tag match on the second show. Kushida/Omega will at least be decent, and TimeSplitters/reDragon will be sweet despite it not being fresh, but the rest doesn't completely draw me in. I'm tired of Goto/Nakamura already. I want a new challenger. If it's just to get the belt back on Nakamura, it will have seemed like a waste to put in on Goto in the first place.

So odd that of all the ex-WWE guys to sign, they'd take CJP. I assume when someone heard about his impending retirement they put in a good word at NJPW

I've heard that CJP is actually a pretty good worker that never got his chance to shine on the main roster. To that effect, I've never seen him have a bad match. I think once he took the heel route as The Moon Child, he was starting to show a better side in the ring, but wasn't getting enough spotlight to really show what he could do. Either way, the dude has this uncanny charisma, and NJPW has this weird boner for picking out guys that weren't particularly popular in WWE, but it usually works.

Omega with the Jr. Title again. Hurray.
Can we not just have a title change matter for that damn division? It's ridiculous. Either Omega should have never lost it, or Kushida should be running through a mega run. At least until Wrestle Kingdom.

The booking on this show was really bad

I honestly have no desire to see this show based on the results.

If I wasn't in such a bad mood I think I would have really liked the main event

This is exactly me. I woke up this morning planning to watch it before work, then I accidentally read the results when trying to refresh myself on the card. I think the Day 2 card actually looks better, anyway.

Is it sad that the match I was most looking forward to on this card was the Youngboy tag match? It was a good start, though I actually wanted a couple more minutes. Time to see how CJP fares in NJPW!
Is CNJ actually becoming something?
Shibata/Naito was really good. The attitudes clash so much that it added a lot of depth to the match. Also really liked the finish. Unfortunately, I don't really care for the rest of the card, so I think I'm checking out here and just reading the results on the rest.

Naito vs Shibata delivered big time in every conceivable way. Love the finish and all the post match.

Christ almighty this Jr Tag match is going on forever. I stopped caring about 3 hours ago.

So Jado and Gedo aren't winning booker of the year this time around, right?

Yupp. Ther a no "Booker" though, so who would get it? Director? Writers? Producers?

While the last two shows have annoyed me this is extremely hyperbolic

the booking is just as stale and uninteresting, though less blatantly stupid.

He makes a good point, though. Outside of the IWGP title, they never feel like they know where they're going with most of their championships. Or they make shock title changes just to keep things fresh when it really waters the product down. That said, I think WWE's PPV booking has seemed stronger this year, but their weekly booking definitely brings that credit down.

New Japan has worked very well against all the hype they built from WK9.

Well I think McMahon is in the team challenge series portion of his career, after not being much convinced about his "genius" status to begin with, so when people go down that road I have to roll my eyes and get annoyed at having to defend the bad booking of Gedo.
