Felt bad for douki

I’m in my second year of watching NJPW. Finding it hard to really buy into Shota when everyone online says he’s trash lol I thought the main event was fine until I opened twitter and KZbin

Interesting. I was a big New Japan fan years ago but fell out of it with the pandemic and devoting free time to AEW instead but watched the full show last night. I honestly though Shota was pretty good, he does need a bit more experience and fire but I wouldn't say is terrible by any means. Since I haven't been following for a while I was sure he was gonna win too, figured they were giving him that Roman Reigns top guy push but I guess not. I Think Dynasty is the more interesting card tonight too 🤙

This was my first NJPW ppv and probably won't watch again. The show was slow and over dependent on tired spots. Are they always like this? Or maybe I'm just not used to Japanese Crowds? 😅

My excitement/expectation levels for this Wrestle Kingdom were the lowest its been since I started watching the product on 2012. Yet somehow it still managed to disappoint. None of the last 3 big matches felt deserving of the spot in terms of in ring quality. And somehow Evil and House of Torture still exist. Its been the same thing for almost 5 years now. Shingo vs Takeshita was obviously really strong, but definitely should have been longer. Same goes for the women's match. I left this show not feeling very optimistic about the future of this company. Might be another year where I take a step back and just watch the G1 while cherry picking matches. I will have to check out more Stardom specifically, and Joshi in general.

Zack Sabre JR vs Bryan Danielson Iron Man Match

[@christhundertv]

The main event was a let down, went far too long and the crowd audibly laughing was bad, only other time i can remember that occoring was years ago when a young stardust genius Naito called himself the top star and was laughed at leading up to a tokyo dome.

not once will she talk about Stardom wrestlers without mentioning that they might leave...
