Holy shit! Didn’t expect that finish. Guess that means Cobb is getting more NIPW dates, which makes sense now Elgin’s gone. Sweet, hope this sets up both for the g1.

Had a feeling Cobb would win. Now that Elgin is gone from New Japan Cobb will fit perfectly in his spot.

Jeff Cobb is awesome, hope he pops up in New Japan more. The fans took to him as one of their own when he first appeared in WTL 2017.

Why oh why are ROH handling production on this show, when New Japan produce wrestling better than any promotion on the planet? Because I imagine for licensing issues this is effectively legally a ROH show that just happens to have NJPW logos slapped on it

Part of me wants White to retain(because I've also grown to like White), but the other part of me realizes it doesn't make a lick of sense. If Okada wins people will be mad because of "same old shit" If White wins people will be mad because he hasn't "earned it" Bring on Naito
My reasoning for Okada winning(as much as it would be 'same old shit) would be if I'm New Japan, wouldn't I want our biggest Japanese star winning our biggest prize on our biggest (global) night? People who say White hasn't earned it are a bit foolish, in my opinion. He's been on fire since the G1 Climax last year(though, I personally didn't go all in on him until WK this year)

Cobb is the ROH NEVER TV Openweight Champion! No, it's World Openweight Television NEVER Champion.

I honestly thought Will would win.
Will Taichi, you wanted the winner and now Cobb is looking to suplex your ass.

I think this will be the first time I've ever seen Rush wrestle.

Good match. Sounds weird but I was expecting a bit more. I kind of figured Cobb was gonna win as it sounded like New Japan wanted to give him more dates

This is an odd matchup.
You got Castle who's a glamour boy, and Rush, what do you call him?

That last entrance was effectively a peacock fart.

Jay has gotten the rub off him with big victories and you can argue him winning at WK in Japan is bigger then if he wins here at MSG
Besides that, Okada is still the Ace and the star and you can't really have him lose here

Castle has yet to get a singles win in 2019 and he's also becoming frustrated with The Boys
