I would actually order that if it was cheaper. Maybe I can scrape up $25 by then. I've never seen a Puro show live, I think it'd be interesting. I just looked at the UStream channel and it appears that they've raised the price to $35 now. Ehhh. NJPW has been reading the buzz online and decided to cash in on it. Me, I'm waiting until it shows up on youtube in a couple days or buy it from IVP for way less. And I think the whole "Okada going to WWE" story is to deliver extra juice to the match.

I was more than willing to buy it, but it was when I was going to split it with a buddy, but that ain't happening anymore. When I have a bit more money to go around, I'll buy an iPPV just for me.

Me too. $35 just isn't reasonable for an iPPV. $25 was pushing it, but worth it for a big show. Since either way, it's still watching a show on a computer, the $35 price tag means wait for YouTube.

And finally, Hiroshi Tanahashi beat Kazuchika Okada in another classic to hang on to the IWGP Heavyweight Title.

I'm getting a bit of a starcade 97 feel about the main event, but either way, great show!

In what way? There weren't any run-ins, or normal counts that were supposed to be fast or any of the crap that affected Hogan/Sting at all. It was a long, great match that Tanahashi won. That's all.

Well, there was that rumor of Okada being America bound for WWE which I originally didn't put much stock in.
The only other thing I can think of is that Tanahashi has one more IWGP record to break, and that's for the most days as champion. According to wikipedia, Hiroshi Tanahashi is at 1,141 days right now as IWPG champion considering all his reigns as champ. The current record holder Keiji Mutoh is at 1,238 days as champ between 4 reigns as Keiji Mutoh and The Great Muta. Tanahashi only has 98 days to go to have that record broken.
My prediction is that a month or so after that record is broken, Tanahashi falls to the Machine Gun.

Anderson?
I mean, I like the guy, and at least you didn't say someone like Goto or Makabe, but really? I'd rather wait for Naito.
