I think I have only seen 2 or 3 matches but I freaking LOVE Nakamura. Just amazing.

I figured they'd get renewed but good news all the same. It can't imagine it costs AXStv very much to get old NJPW matches then dub-on commentary, and the wrestling audience is solid enough for the show to be a success by AXStv standards.

Just got through the episode from the 13th and enjoyed it, thought the main event was very good but I was caught off guard by Barnett's comment about the Red Ink being effective because Okada doesnt wash his hands after using the bathroom and by his impression of Gedo as a Cholo, but I'm not going to hold it against him, commentary is so far much better than most wrestling.

Watching the episode with the Bullet Club 8 man and Barnett's hatred of Captain New Japan is a thing of beauty.

Nakamura and Ibushi could wrestle each other every day for six months, and I don't think it would get old.

This is going to be a lot of fun.
I think next week is Nakamura vs Marufuji for The IC Title.

Naito's sell on that knee injury when running the ropes was amazing. Looked like a horse with a broken leg.

Who else but Josh Barnett would mention the name Joe Stecher?

Was that weird crossbosy spot a botch or what? It looked amazing and sold the story of the match to perfection, but it didn't look like something you could make up and do on purpose.

LOVE that, Naito didn't reach the rope but held on for so long that he wore Tanahashi out. This match rules.

Loved the leg work by Tanahashi on Naito's knee as well as Naito's will to win despite the agony he was in and capitalizing on Hiroshi taking a chance when he shouldn't have. Great promo as well by him as well as the celebration in the back with Honma, BUSHI, and Nagata.
Who was that guy who shook his hand and was screaming in his face though, he looked familiar.
