Never thought I'd get my heart broken in PWO but here we are...

I love it when deathmatch guys show they can have dope regular matches. The first 6 minutes or so are pretty standard tag action with both teams trying to isolate one opponent, with the smaller guy (Kodaka) ending up having to fight from beneath while the other two bully him. Once Miyamoto gets the hot tag this gets into a higher gear, Yuko pulls off some nice moves, makes things flow and transitions to the best part of the match: Yankee's trying to figure out how to beat Sekimoto. It's an awesome game of chess against a beast that leads to a pretty dramatic finishing stretch. LOVED Sato and Daisuke failing to pull off the double german suplex and the comeback Isami and Yuko mount to get us to end. This was really fucking fun, dope tag match more than worth a look. This show was fucking awesome btw.

Seeing Cena be a pure fiery baby face with 100% of the crowd behind him was really dope. Him changing his mind as soon as he got challenged, without need of any physicality was funny as shit

I hope they give Bryan and Gulak more than 10 minutes uninterrupted in one of the many shows that have.

Forget about Goldberg, can someone explain to me what the hell is going on in this?? (from the start till the 3 minute mark) Taker? what? This dude is one of the top gamer streamers out there, I guess he got some kind of deal with the E?

da fuck??? tweet was deleted btw

Fucking hell, can D-Bry go to NXT already?? I need hm facing all those dude down there.

Man, I don't envy Drew having his first bit title match being in front of a dead crowd after 6 hours (and 2 days) of wrestling overload. Unless he doesn't get the main event?

What does Monday Night Messiah even means btw? He turns the ratings into shit?

They can't be this stupid to NOT make Drew win after that elimination and playing off him staring Brock all match long right?

That was one hell of a bump by Brock on that Claymore.

Can Cain get in already so Brock doesn't get the elimination record?

At least we have their 2010 match. yeah, Kofi stomping his head multiple times is sure the safer route. Bryan can get a concussion over pretty much anything depending on how he works a match. Shit, I'm way more worried about him working Sheamus than Ishii.

No thanks. Him wrecking shit in Japan I can get behind though.

We got the last great WWE run by any wrestler with his heel turn so you can't win them all.

Holy shit that ending sucked

The passion fo the DBry

She's Cena and what people think Reigns is, combined.

Can't wait for WWE24: The Triple H white wash documentary.

When I thought Kawada couldn't had crazier takes than his WWE one he comes here and calls Di Caprio "Hollywood Ziggler". No amount of "bubbas" gonna save you from this one though

Yup.

Yuji Hino defends the ZERO1 World Heavyweight Title These two had my attention 1 minute in when they do a test of strength/struggle for control for an irish whip but to be honest, this has 7 minutes edited and even though it's only really noticeable once (at the very beginning after the irish wish spot), you can feel the match is kinda disjointed. The 17 minutes showed are a brutal hoss match though, it doesn't have all the nuances nor flow of Sekimoto vs Hino but it reaches an even higher level of viciousness - which is saying something - at first with an incredible chop battle, and then after Okabayashi busts Hino's eyelid open with a botched lariat...the receipts Hino dishes out after that shit are insane, and Okabayashi retaliates with no fucks given too, it's truly wild. Korakuen was weirdly tame, specially for a New Year's show. It's very much worth a watch, and again, if you are into heavy strikes and people trying to kill each other, this is pretty much right up your alley. But this lacked drama and I can't help but feel those missing 7 minutes could've helped give this more of a flow.

The crowd was booing like crazy but that was the point, I can never figure out when a japanese crowd is just going along with a heat segment or is legit pissed off though. As someone who has been calling for Naito to win the main belt, I didn't see it as a big deal though it did feel like a western type angle and they could've save it for tomorrow's show. But again, I didn't mind it.

I'm really happy they finally got the 40k paid for Night 1. 30k paid for Night 2 ( @MoS ) is really good but you gotta wonder if the biggest draw for the weekend was Ibushi challenging for the title instead of the double champion gimmick. The G-1 is different - and has way less tickets to sell - but when they book the big triple headers for the final 3 nights, the final one doesn't suffer in attendance even if night 2 has a bigger main event. Anyways, saw the final two matches. Jericho vs Tana showed how charisma can carry a match for long stretches. It was really fun watching these two play off each other. After the Red Shoes bump it got into a little lull but they picked it up for the ending. Good match. I could be forgetting one, but I thought Okada vs Naito was the best match they've had against each other since their 2012 Korakuen classic. Naito finally won the big one!

The latter. And again, that was in response to a specific thing Makai said.
