Tanahashi/Shibata got ***** from Dave Meltzer.

G1 match was better in ring wise but the story at Kobe was amazing
I'd rate Styles/Suzuki above this tbh

Styles/Suzuki is a five star classic IMO and my personal MOTY. I'd say so far, but I don't see anything on the horizon topping it. Tanahashi and Shibata's G1 outing was better than this last one but this one had a better story. I mean, I can understand giving it five stars, and I'm not bothered by him doing it, but I'd personally just give it four, and their G1 match four and a half. Now what rating DOES bother me is AJ/MiSu getting four and three quarters instead of just a straight five. Talk about being pedantic.
Anyways, the other match at this past show that I REALLY dug was Goto/Makabe. I usually pass on Makabe matches but I'm a huge Goto fan and they put on a hell of a match. That match I'd give 4.5 stars without hesitation. Just so much brutal fun to watch.

Haven't seen this picture before. From around the time of the NJPW/AJPW/NOAH All Together show a few years ago.

So, after years of only watching a few matches, I'm getting into NJPW. I've started with the G1 Climax (which I'm only a couple of days into) from this year and its made me a big fan of various guys along with reinforcing my love for guys like Tanahashi & Kojima. The reason I post this is that I want to ask; what is the deal with Bad Luck Fale? To me he seems just terrible. He looks like the bastard child of Charles Wright in Kama Mustafa mode and Samoa Joe, who found Viscera's weird hair dye. Maybe I haven't seen enough but he just seemed slow, dull and utterly lacking in anything interested, ESPECIALLY when compared to other guys on the card. However, results I've read make it seem like he's being pushed pretty hard. Am I missing something, or is he simply another lumbering tall guy?

Your guess is as good as anyone's when it comes to Fale. The bookers seem to like him and at the very least he doesn't hurt attendance when he's in the main event. I haven't come across too many western fans who think much of him.

In Japan.
Not being a smart ass, we just don't know. The uStream situation hasn't been resolved.

That's pretty awesome.
Good on Omega and good on NJPW for snagging him for the roster. The potential for great matches on that roster is mesmerising.

Omega's left DDT to be full time with New Japan. Kota Ibushi has an additional year on his joint DDT/NJPW contract.

Awesome to hear. That being said, he'll join the Bullet Club in 10 minutes time.

I can dig it. Omega is one of the best wrestlers going today. I'll take Taguchi vs Omega any day.

Omega is legit one of the ten best wrestlers right now and I'm so happy he'll be getting more exposure.

I'm happy for Kenny, he's been on japan for years, he deserves to reach a higher level.....but I still hate him.
