I love that in their tours of Japan in 2015 and 2016, WWE allowed the fans to throw streamers into the ring like most companies in Japan do. It's a shame they don't allow them anymore from the looks of it and I know it's just a small detail but it really helps amplify the pre-match atmosphere in a way and I wish they'd do another special or even a PPV there again. Also of note is that since this was a Triple H-led show, this is probably one of the first times Michael Cole got to show how good of an announcer he really is because he got to actually call a match the way he himself would rather than being micromanaged by Vince at every second like he was until a few years ago.

About the Michael Cole thing, what do you mean about getting to call the match in his way? What timestamp?

[@Colt2OO2]

@@mico5536 He didn't just spew all the company doctrine the whole time and actually went into Balor's past in New Japan, which Vince hardly ever let him do because in Vince's world, no other company existed or mattered besides WWE, WCW and ECW and people like Sting who were in WCW but didn't immediately go to WWE were treated as if they'd done nothing for however long before they did eventually come over. Just watch the whole video, don't just take my word for it and you'll see what I meant in that first comment

This is one of the best nxt matches ever imo Kevin and Finn went out and put on a banger. Both went on after this match to be bigger stars. Kevin with the John cena feud and Finn going on to be the at the time longest reigning nxt champion. Man I love this match so much

[@KaisernutProductions]

Great Match!

[@DeadEndShoot]

Michael Cole was amazing throughout this whole event

[@yungblink]

WWE should do another special event in Japan.

[@ChrisBell-Kliq98]

Yo! WWE has a new channel with the classic NXT content? That is great stuff. I look forward to seeing all the classics on this channel.

Man what a time to be alive

[@denzelclossartpoetryvibes5915]

I Love watching this match so much because this is where Balor knocked Owens off the NXT Title throne for the NXT World Title.

[@kdizzle901]

Kevin Owens is amazing though

My favorite part of this match was Brock Lesnar asking Kevin Owens beforehand if he saw the Asian Kevin Owens cosplayer
