Geezus, watching the Ishii/Naito match on tonight's show, it's a miracle Ishii hasn't killed anyone with his lariats

I feel like I've witnessed an embarrassing sin when I see Nakamura pinned. Especially with a belt on the line. He elevates titles. If there is anyone who needs a year and a half to two year reign, it's that charasmatic fiend.

His charisma crosses language and cultural barriers

They could've cut out one of the Jr bouts and shown the other in its entirely.

I absolutely love this show. I hope it stays on AXS for a long time. I don't even mind cutting down some of the matches. They present it like a sport. For instance, Okada tries to explain in kayfabe why AJ Styles's Styles Clash had more success against him than Tanahashi's. Okada explained that AJ had mastered how to use his weight and explained that AJ's version was more devastating. Most wrestling companies wouldn't even bother to explain why some wrestlers win with certain moves and others don't.

The fact that AXS has opted to extend it past the original 13 episode run is a sign that it gets good ratings for them.

I still can't get over how freakin' good Josh Barnett is.

Can't understand why on a board of supposed wrestling fans that only a handful here seems to be watching this. It's phenomenal! Best show since Nitro (for me, that is).

Not everyone here gets AXS. And Fridays can be killer. I know that is why I have missed so many, I am usually out and don't get back until midway through the show.

Yeah, sorry. I don't want to come across too critical here. I'm just itchy because wrestling fans (supposed wrestling fans) are missing out on a really good thing.
I DVR all of my episodes. But yes, I get all of your points. It's just one of those things I want everyone to be able to see.

I too DVR it and by the time I watch it over the weekend, I normally forget to come in here and comment on it but I have really enjoyed what I've seen, and can't wait for it to come back in May.

It's hard to remember to come back in here and comment on it. Plus it's on Friday night which can be tricky for some people. I DVR the show, so I'm able to watch it later.

I still can't get over how freakin' good Josh Barnett is. Being able to prep for these shows is certainly an advantage but he does do a bang-up job. Definitely enjoy the commentary on NJPW and LU over WWE, TNA, or even ROH TV.
