the main event was good. Styles/Ibushi has good chemistry and they did some cool spots like high kick/pele exchange, springboard super rana. Their match at Sunday should be an instant classic. Naito is in wilderness though. Goto is going after IC, Shibata/Honma doing the odd partners angle. Tanahashi/Yano, Okada/Fale, Tenzan/Kojima, Ishii/Makabe, Bullet Club/Maria Team. He doesn't have much going for him now. I think this might be the thing to turn Naito heel. He's tried everything he can and now, everyone else has something while he's stuck doing nothing, but be a random partner for someone else. I actually don't think that's going to be a random team. A Golden Star/Stardust Genius tag team based around their high flying capabilities sounds like something that they'd go with.

And they have been teaming up a bit lately and have had a few articles together on NJPW website so it won' be like a random thing waiting to happen. Also, they won over both the tag champions in the NJC so they could easily get a title shot in the near future.

Maybe since Naito is part of the ROH/NJPW shows, he could spend some time there, to refresh himself. Like have him be the one who ends Lethal's year plus reign as TV Champ.

Naito is someone who needs an extended hiatus from New Japan to renew himself. His booking is not helping him so a a fresh start in a new environment would do wonders. I wish NJPW and ROH had an exchange program so him and Cedric Alexander can change places for a while.

Final Card for Invasion Attack '15 tonight:
I'll be real, Styles vs Ibushi is the only match here that I'm hyped for.

NJ Invasion Attack thoughts: {Spoiler}NJ World being down really hurt the flow of this show for me. Was back up for the main event though. Quite a good match. Ibushi's seeming inability to sell the leg really hurt the match in the middle part but some of the sequences they put together were insane. The finish was mindblowing even if it was predictable Bullet Club interference, it didn't detract from that insane spot.
Oh and of course Okada needs his win back at Dontaku so we can see Tana/Okada LXV at Jo Hall. That's not frustrating in the slightest.

Okada got some very loud boos when they did the post match angle lol.

Seriously {Spoiler}{Spoiler} Does Bennett have photos and blackmail of every wrestling promotion?
They scrapped Goto and Shibata's reign just so Guns and Gallows could have a meaningless second reign to drop to them of all people?

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I used to HATE Bennett with a passion, but ever since he performed in Chikara he's grown on me. He hasn't put on any MUST SEE matches, but he's a solid hand and Taven is still growing so I'm all for this.

That finish, wow. I wonder how many times AJ and Ibushi had to work on it to get it right.

What was up with Omega at the end there? He helped out AJ with the distraction, but then seemed hesitant to celebrate with the Bullet Club. He almost seemed remorseful. Face turn?
