Welp. Moxley hasn’t taken a fall in NJPW since before the pandemic so at least that finally paid off. I’d beg them to have a young guy beat him for it…but I’m not going to pretend Gedo would ever. See, I thought Sabre was the logical next World Champion, and I thought we were getting that at Sakura Genesis, and think that might be where we're going at Forbidden Door. Darkhorse pick? Have Shota dethrone Mox. They need a top young native-born talent right now. Naito's knees are held together by bubble gum and the wishes of small children, and while the fact he can still wrestle even close to this level in his state is nothing short of a miracle, how much shelf life does he really have at this level? There's a story ready made between him and Mox, and Shota is clearly their pick for next ace. They need to pull the trigger by the Dome this coming January.

Moxley uses Rollins curb stomp. Let’s see if he steals Roman”s big move and takes a nap "HE HIT IT! THE LUDICROUS AMOUNTS OF OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE FROM LITERALLY HIS ENTIRE FAMILY TREE FOLLOWED BY A SPEAR!!! NOBODY KICKS OUT OF THAT!"

So far I'm loving that Naito's the one opponent that's actually pissing Moxley off. Like usually it's a sort of "I'm a warrior, and you're a warrior, so I'm going to beat the piss out of you as hard as I can out of respect" thing. Here Naito's complete nonchalance makes Moxley want to end his bloodline. That was really a big point of entertainment when Naito first started the character, Shibata, Goto, Ishii etc could not f***ing stand him lol That is something about him that's been carrying him the last few years. He's not the wrestler he was when I started watching NJPW, but he definitely can keep himself massively over because he gets the little things. Mox is the perfect opponent for him because he similarly gets the little things but has the perfect contrast in personality.

And that is the first time in a long time I've seen Naito outright cheat in a match.

Sabre is once again TV Champion. A great night for TMDK And it was a banger.

Eddie Kingston grabbing the mic just so he could get another F-bomb in is the most Eddie Kingston thing I've ever seen.

I think we're going to see a violence in this match.

Ali another case of a guy not being happy where he was and deciding to bet on himself. I think that considering what happened last Sunday, betting on yourself may be a more tempting option for people.

Perry maybe returning to AEW at Forbidden Door in June I think he's costing FTR the AEW Tag Titles at Dynasty.

Definitely the best match of the night so far. The crowd was ON FIRE tonight.

Man I was expecting mega-heel Jack Perry, but no it's probably something like 60/40.

Surprised by the fact that there's a somewhat mixed reaction for Jack Perry. Apparently some people in Chicago actually have common sense, just not enough to drown out the people who don't know their opinion until Punk tells them.

Surprisingly mixed reaction for Jack Perry in Chicago. Some people there have common sense, while others have already been told what their opinion is by CM Punk.

I didn't think babyface ELP could work, but he's a surprisingly likeable goofball. Especially since he was such a smarmy heel I mean I like heel ELP better, but face ELP is just fine.

My twitter timeline seems to be indicating that Tama Tonga debuted on Smackdown tonight. The number of people excited about Tama Tonga on there….it is adorable. He kind of came into his own towards the end of his run in NJPW, but he never really grew to be anything more than solid.

AZM plays a really loveable underdog. Didn't know her before this, but I'm a fan now.
