I love wrestling. I love MMA. I don't get why the one that's a work is so fascinated with trying to be a shoot. Inoki was the worst. Vince and his Brock fetish isn't much better, at the moment. Inoki wanted to capitalize and take over the mma scene in Japan, which at the time was far superior and more profitable than the USA scene but instead used his fake wrestlers and basically killed the company for years.

I mean, I get the whole "wanting to get into the MMA scene" thing. Hell, Shane tried to convince Vince to buy the UFC if I remember the story correctly. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the ego you have to have to equate "strong style" with "can compete in real combat sports"

I can see Honma upsetting Taichi for a feel good moment.

Missed a lot of the match due to a phone call but decent end to the Junior Tag Title match.

Kinda saw the result of Ishimori vs Liger, but Jesus did they sucker me in. Good match imo.

Goto sticks out like a sore thumb Goto and the Ace Powers is the one of the weirdest trios with the merging of Chaos and the home team.

So, as expected, Goto gets a bit of credibility before the Cup.
