goddamn typos making me look dumber than i am

BARNES OUT
Implying AJ Styles is in the same realm as Punk on the mic in any capacity

BARNES OUT
Why would two dudes yelling at each other be cool if the corresponding fight they have sucks?
Athlai
Not Terrible
It's still entertainment tbf.
dontcloseyoureyes
BARNES OUT
To each their own I guess but if the fight sucks I find it hard to buy into all the talk before. It's why I can't stand Miz, fine enough promo but I'd rather jump off a bridge than watch him wrestle a match.

Haha, what did he say? I'm in the office right now, I need details!

Just said how the product was terrible basically, how the Baron Corbin angle involving the guy in the dog costume was terrible TV (which it was), and that having blue/red title belts is really dumb (which it is).

Ok so, Night 1:
Pre show:
STARDOM Exhibition Tag Team Match 15 minutes Mayu Iwatani & Arisa Hoshiki vs. Hana Kimura & Giulia
I guess it doesn't matter since we can't see it. I guess it could be a time limit draw
Eight Man Tag Team Match 15 minutes Togi Makabe, Tomoaki Honma, Yota Tsuji & Yuya Uemura vs. Toa Henare, Clark Connors, Karl Fredericks & Alex Coughlin
Makabe probabnly pins someone, but I wouldn't be shocked if Federicks pins someone
Tag Team Match 15 minutes Yuji Nagata & Manabu Nakanishi vs. TenKoji (Satoshi Kojima & Hiroyoshi Tenzan) Pre-Show Tag Team Match
New Japan Dads! Kojima getting the pin on Nakanishi makes sense, but Tenzan has started getting pinned this year so Nagata might get the pin
The show
Jushin Thunder Liger Retirement Match
Jushin Thunder Liger, Tatsumi Fujinami, The Great Sasuke & Tiger Mask IV (with El Samurai) vs. Naoki Sano, Shinjiro Otani, Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Ryusuke Taguchi (with Kuniaki Kobayashi)
This is a pretty standard retirement match in Japanese wresting for those that are surprised Liger isn't having a singles match. Liger will probably get the pinfall too. This won't be great, but it's not meant to be. Everyone will do their spots and they'll cry afterwards
Eight Man Tag Team Match
Los Ingobernables de Japon (SANADA, EVIL, Shingo Takagi & BUSHI) vs. Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki, Zack Sabre Jr., Taichi & El Desperado)
Everyone knows Suzuki is leaving NJPW. And everyone wants Takagi to be more than the "extra" guy in LIJ. Now that Hiromu is back Takagi can either move on from LIJ, or start really being the 2nd heavyweight in LIJ (but that won't happen because of Sanada). it's just whether they do an angle here or at new year's dash. Honestly I guess when put like that, Takagi could join Suzuki-gun and ZSJ/Taichi kick Suzuki out but I doubt it'll happen like that. But Suzuki is probably being dumped here. Maybe Liger comes back out and helps his old dojo partner in Suzuki
Eight Man Tag Team Match
CHAOS (Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano & YOSHI-HASHI) vs. Bullet Club (KENTA, Bad Luck Fale, Chase Owens & Yujiro Takahashi) Eight Man Tag Team Match 30
So this is just Kenta/Goto building their match. It's the least noteworthy match. Maybe Shibata comes out. Who knows. Ishii/Takagi should have been a match. oh well.
IWGP Tag Team Championship Match
Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa) (c) vs. FinJuice (Juice Robinson & David Finlay) IWGP Tag Team Championship Match
Eh. FinJuice should win, but Juice has a US title match the next night that he'll probably win. So they'll probably lose. Juice might even take the pin if they want to give Tama a singles match. the match will probably be boring
IWGP US Heavyweight Championship Texas Deathmatch
Lance Archer (c) vs. Jon Moxley
I don't like last man standing matches. These guys can probably make it work. It could be really great or really boring. It's probably the most 'interesting' match in that aspect. Mox wins
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship Match
Will Ospreay (c) vs. Hiromu Takahashi
So this will be match of the night as long as they don't get too cute. should be nuts, Hiromu gets the pin. Ospreay moves up to Heavyweight, Robbie Eagles challenges Hiromu.
IWGP Intercontinental Championship Match
Jay White (c) vs. Tetsuya Naito IWGP Intercontinental Championship Match
IWGP Heavyweight Championship Match
Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Kota Ibushi
So like most people I think it'll Okada/Naito on N2 with Naito finishing his story, but who knows, Gedo has shocked us before. These should be great matches, Bullet Club shenanigans might dampen the IC match but it'll still be good. there's much not to say, they'll be good!
