Carthwheel is at AAA's Triplemania show tomorrow and so is Mike Bailey. Surprised CMLL aren't objecting to them given both are at The Festival next week They seem to only care about Mexican wrestlers. They didn’t care that Omega and FTR were running around with AAA titles. Hell…they put the IWGP titles on FTR while they were AAA champions. But they won’t touch a Mexican wrestler who from AAA on a New Japan show. I think that’s the deal at this point. Not to mention, Bailey's with Impact. So, there's not much CMLL could do about it, anyway.

Okada vs EVIL worked in a "Bayley vs Eva Marie" type of way. Which says something harsh about EVIL.
But Naito vs Ospreay needs no excuses. That was just awesome.

Thank goodness Naito finally got the win over Ospreay. He clearly got knocked for a loop with that short kick, but once the pacing slowed and Ospreay starting taking care to set up the next spot, I knew Naito would pull out the victory. Not mad at either guy - these things can happen in wrestling.
Now the real question is will Ryogoku get the LIJ roll call thrice in two days?

Desperado teamed with Jun Kasai at The Freedoms PPV yesterday in a thumbtack board and razor cross board deathmatch.

Ospreay backstage has renamed The US Belt into The United Kingdom Championship and debuted a new belt. I'd post it but I'm on my phone

I wish they had booked this thing where Ospreay got his win over Okada in the semis and was facing Naito in the finals. Bigger win for Ospreay and after getting it id believe he would win the whole thing more than I believe Okada will be facing Sanada at the Dome. Naito facing Sanada feels much more obvious. Especially with Okada tapping to Danielson needing to be paid off in a big way in Japan. And Danielson’s debut in Japan is Dome worthy.

I don't get why EVIL went so deep, I really don't. If you wanted to do bullshit interference stuff to heat up the crowd go with Finlay, he at least can have passable matches.
Robbed of Shingo/SANADA and Okada/Shingo or SANADA for two shit matches where the payoff of EVIL getting defeated wasn't even that good? Okada kicks out of his finisher (because of course its Okada to get to do that lol) and then just wins, keeping the rest of HoT at bay all by himself when all of LiJ together weren't able to do it only a few days ago. Just dumb shit.
God damn it I'm grumpy lol, sorry

There was zero reason for Evil to go so far and stink up the place.
Fans got robbed of several potential good matches thanks to Togo who has become The Japanese Russo.

Shame Naito got loopy at the end - still a hot finish but would've been molten if it went as planned.
The last Destino was the sickest he's done, props to Ospreay.

Only spoiled by Ospreay very loudly whispering 'destino!' to Naito right by the camera just before the finish But no, awesome match. Naito getting knocked a bit loopy actaully added to the last few moments for me

Yano can take pride in that he didn't have the worst match performance this year for once.
