It's been a long, long time since I saw this match for the last time. My taste have changed greatly, and the style I've soured the most is the one Dragon Gate has...but this was still pretty damn great. Blood Generation did a really good job as the heels in this, and made their control sections compelling enough for me to keep myself engaged - a hard task nowadays for matches of this style that go past 20 minutes, like this one - Horiguchi did his thing as the FIP too, I agree he was the standout of the match. I thought this was going to have some spots that would make cringe for being too choreographed, but I was gladly mistaken, CIMA went a little too early a couple of times but it was barely noticeable. All in all, flippy shit at it's best. I'm glad I saw this again, Secret Santo is a blessing.

All Japan has had a nice bounce back since last year but let's hold our horses here. They have a really good core of talent that produces consistently great matches but they aren't even on DDT's level right now (which is probably #3 atm, after Dragon Gate). NOAH is out of the gutter but that's not saying anything to be honest.

Man, I hope this doesn't fuck up the All Japan archive on Google Drive BTW, the CC starts on April 7th and lasts till April 30th. They've been building for a feud I have no interest in watching, Suwama vs Fujita (and Kashin, though given that Shuji Ishikawa will be working in Tokyo for DDT's Judgement show, they'll save a tag match for later maybe?) that will probably be the main attraction for the Saitama show, alongside Kento trying to get the TC back.

Is Tanahashi confirmed to be working on Mania Weekend?

My fucking LAWD at those matches for Daisuke. I'm pumped as fuck to see them.

dawho5 Your match is Kengo Mashimo & Madoka vs MEN's Teioh & Shinobu 5/23/2008 for the Big Japan Tag Titles. Sent you the link via PM I promise I'll have your match and the one Rich gave me before next Tuesday.

So New Japan sold out 5,000 tickets in 20 minutes for their March 25th show in Long Beach. Cody and the Bucks need NJPW to let them have 1 big singles match with two of their stars and the All In show is good for 7 or even 8k with just that, specially because they'll probably be a good number of japanese talent working the show anyway (maybe even a Golden Lovers vs Young Bucks match). I think there's no doubt they are filling that building, only question is if they will need any papering or not.

I give to you the best pic ever

Ronda doing her mean face while pointing at the Mania at least makes for a good picture to circle mainstream media. Damn good show, btw. WAY better than I expected.

Man, Asuka is up there with anyone in terms of kayfabe, she's dominated for almost 3 years straight.

It's dope how receptive and into it the crowd is. Another fun Rumble match so far.

Yeah, that seemed very odd.

Holy shit

Molly!!!

Dear lord Torrie. Those kicks... And talking to Becky AND watching the big screen just waiting for Sane while trying to kick Lita

My god Sasha looks lost as fuck in there.

I mean, Steph can't wrestle in that and it doesn't seem she has gear underneath....right? right?!?

Do not stiff Brock when he doesn't expect it Too bad the crowd is so damn spent, that was a fun monster match.

Gotdamn at that knee and punch exchange.

The best was Cena screaming his ass off for Nakamura and Balor to attack them after the faceoff with Roman and the YOU BOTH SUCK chants. It was hilarious edit:

A legit feel good moment in a big match on the big roster. A big title match fans have been wanting for Mania. I almost forgot how this felt like, fucking awesome.

Ok, this is legit great now. So glad they remembered how to book a Rumble.

By the way this has been the most fun Rumble in a LONG ass time.

Cena SCREAMING for Balor and Shinsuke to attack after the you both suck chant

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
