Yeah that does make a lot of sense I guess. Should be interesting to see how good a match Okada can pull out of him.

Cody vs. Elgin - 3.5
Kushida vs. Takahashi - 4.25
Suzuki vs. Goto - 3.25
Naito vs. Tanahashi - 4.5
Omega vs. Okada - 5

Meltzer

Young Bucks vs. Roppongi Vice - 4
GoD vs. War Machine - 3.5
Cody vs. Elgin - 3.5
Kushida vs. Takahashi - 4.75
Suzuki vs. Goto - 3.5
Tanahashi vs. Naito - 4.5
Okada vs. Omega - 6.25

He's just taking the piss now lol

Caught up on the match... Pretty awesome.

And we now live in a world where if the third match gets 5 stars, it'll be viewed as a disappointment.

Of the matches I saw:

Suzuki vs Goto - 3.25
Takahashi vs Naito - 4.75
Okada vs Omega - 5

Storytelling in Naito's match was exceptional.

Storytelling in Naito's match was exceptional.

Seems to be the case in all Naito matches. Love him. Best in Japan imho.

Hey mike someone on Twitter posted a match guide with rutube links for the current AJPW ace.

That most recent triple crown match got a 4 and a half stars from Dave

Gonna watch it now, got nothing going on.

Gonna watch it now, got nothing going on.

fyi, this was a very good idea. Very entertaining match. Dude has chops.

 

[Spikey]

I just finished watching the vs. Jun Akiyama (7.23.16) one and yes, he has chops. They maybe did a far too pinfalls near the end but it was still a really good match. It helps that Jun was around during the Misawa era and is great too.

guess I'll have to watch the rest of his Triple Crown matches now. there's some speculation that a AJPW guy who might appear in the G1, and although wiser people immediately shoot that down, I now deeply want it to be Kento Miyahara

 

[Agent TBY]

Oh man, I just saw the result for the women's MITB match. What the **** were they thinking?

JFC.

 

[Spikey]

gee they're making a big deal of the home town thing. for once randy might actually win..?.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Wasn't as bad as their first match, at least there was some heat.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Good way to get some cheap heat by interrupting a Nakamura entrance on a PPV.

 

[Athlai]

Not watching yet and will not check thread again till I do because the MITB match is the only one I care about, but I actually like the sound of the booking so far. Heels heeling it up good and proper in a way that pisses off smarks and marks alike. Obviously you can't always do it, but outside of the big 4 PPVs (and big events like the actual MITB ladder match), it's not a big deal.

Carmella is underrated, theres money in heel Usos, Lana even as rubbish as she may be shouldn't get straight up squashed in her debut singles match, Orton should be a million miles from the belt (and Jinder too TBF). All good decisions.

 

[Spikey]

meh

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah not a great match that one.

 

[Spikey]

Way back when the brand spilt happened I said I didn't want MITB anywhere near Smackdown and I feel like I've kinda been justified tonight. It just doesn't need it. Let Raw have all the gimmick PPVs and stuff that basically screws the champion

 

[Spikey]

and good on Naka for managing to talk everyone into letting him avoid any ladder bumps

 

[Mike5181]

I just can't convince myself to watch it based on what I've seen/heard. At least they seem to know what they've got there with AJ/Nakamura.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Naka-AJ for Wrestlemania would be great
