Fantastic event. Exceeded my lofty expectations. The crowd were so good, really added to it. 9/10 show.

Wasn't going to bother, thought it would be good in-ring in a detached kinda way and very predictable, high praise meant I did. I did call every match right (differ from many as I thought the belt was made for PAC the moment it was announced) and it was good in-ring but was much more invested than anticipated.
Oc Vs Ospreay was brilliant. Usually I'm not too bothered by others opinions but no psychology? Great story, head kick spot was perfect and despite being sure Will would win they got me with a OC nearfall. The two six-mans were a lot of fun as was Claudio Vs ZSJ.
Shame a big interpromotional match got ruined by a legit injury for the second time in a month. Also thought the main event ended too quick, the crowd were just buying Tana had a chance and it finished. The end brawl was stupid, don't turn ppvs into an ad for a weekly show. Especially if someone who was on the show earlier is in the surprise role. Those, the predictability and a few other nitpicks (especially JR) limit it to 8/10 which is a miracle given the injuries.
Also really well paced.

I cannot believe I nearly didn't order this show.
Firstly, props to the crowd who were awesome all night. The announce team seemed to gel well together too, & it was nice to have dome fresh faces at the booth.
I know I should've expected it, but the quality of wrestling on this show was just phenomenal. No word of a lie, I actually had a tear in my eye at the end of the Cassidy/Osprey match, as it reminded me how amazing wrestling can be when done so well.
I don't know NJPW, & was worried I wouldn't be able to get invested as a result, but that was absolutely not the case. You could tell these guys were stars just looking at them - this was my first time watching Okada, & I can see why he's a huge deal.
If it wasn't for the (understandable) rushed pin in the IWGP title match, & the lacklustre Dynamite-style beatdown at the end, this show would probably been an all-timer 11/10 solid-gold effort. As it is, it's merely incredible.
