New Japan: New Beginning Tour

[Dylan Waco]

Did you know Ishii was going to win? Nine quarters of the fun was that even though you KNEW he wasn't, they sure made it feel like he would. Knowing the outcome would really kill that.

 

I did know Ishii won, though that sort of thing rarely effects how I look at matches

I'm sure it doesn't change it analytically, but it's got to change the way you feel about the near falls, since you know they're near falls and not a fall. I'm sure you can still appreciate aspects of the build up, but you can't really get lost in it if you know how it ends.

 

It's like knowing the butler did it before the murder happens.

I guess. But I'm not really a "near falls" guy.

Not even sure I know what that means.

Finally got to see that Ishii vs Homna match (as well as the whole card). Yeah, MOTYC without a doubt to me. Amazing that I was rewieving Homna's matches in BJ 16 years ago and called them MOTYC back then. Homna is a totally different worker today, and he is still awesome. It's a bit surreal to me to see a MOTYC in 2015 in New Japan coming from two former 90's indie guys, Big Japan and WAR no less.

 

(it's kinda crazy to think if either one of these guys would be signed to NXT tomorrow, they would be told that they need to "learn how to work")
