On too late for me, but I might catch a replay tomorrow.

Card isn't amazing outside of the main event.

Jordan 03-25-2018 09:17 AM

Well to start I'm kind of annoyed that the show is on AXS because I don't have cable so I'll have to stream it, sure there won't be a problem but I pay for New Japan World and haven't used it since 1/4, just like last year.

You're right it's not amazing but it could be a sleeper, there are some really great workers on the card. I personally haven't watch ROH steadily for years so seeing some guys like Daniels and Kazarian, I haven't seen them wrestle in like 5 years. Also I'm really into the Hangman Page vs Jay White match and hoping that Page goes over. I like his promo's and look, he could be a big deal. Kind of reminds me of AWA Curt Henning. And as for Jay White, I want him to do well, I don't fully believe in him but I'm hoping he pulls out an incredible performance.

Also the big tag match with Okada and Ishii vs Zack Sabre and Suzuki is exciting, just to see how those stories will progress.

The main event is so so for me, I don't care for the Bucks but, I know that they have the ability and likelihood to totally change my mind. Mostly I'm just excited to see something new. This is NJPW's US product so I am excited to see how it feels like on the air.

Droford 03-25-2018 01:21 PM

Its getting 4 hours. Wish it started at 7

Simple Fan 03-25-2018 01:26 PM

I'll be watching but probably not live.

Droford 03-25-2018 03:31 PM

If its anything like the last one there won't be a lot of commercials they only did them between matches.

Fignuts 03-25-2018 03:34 PM

Whoa did I miss something?

Whats the story behind Cody and Marty vs G.O.D.?

Simple Fan 03-25-2018 03:48 PM

Didn't know anything about it either. As I want Tama Tonga to crash the Omega/Cody match at Supercard of Honor and take sole leadership of Bullet Club, I hope this match plants the seeds.

Yeah. Losing Rey vs Liger was a big blow considering the reaction the announcement generated. Also didn't help this show didn't have any real time for focus because it was squished in between two bigger events for NJPW.

Just something added at the last minute for the show's card.

Evil Vito 03-25-2018 07:53 PM

Wait I can't watch on NJPW World until after the show is done? God dammit.

Droford 03-25-2018 08:06 PM

I guess people don't watch NJPW on Fridays on AXS as everyone's pissed at it being JR and Barnett

Jordan 03-25-2018 08:07 PM

It has begun!

Original plan supposedly was just to be on New Japan World for the US but AXS TV managed to convince NJPW to make it a live event exclusive to them.

Jordan 03-25-2018 08:12 PM

The arena looks good. They can double this easy next time.

Jordan 03-25-2018 08:14 PM

Kazarian may be hurt after an odd springboard fall.

Jordan 03-25-2018 08:15 PM

Nope.... maybe it was just good workin.

Jordan 03-25-2018 08:18 PM

Sick springboard dropkick to the ribs by Romero. He's awesome.

Jordan 03-25-2018 08:22 PM

Really good opener. All 6 guys are great workers and got to shine a little bit.

Simple Fan 03-25-2018 08:24 PM

Pretty good opened that went as expected.

Emperor Smeat 03-25-2018 08:24 PM

:lol: at Barnett's f-bomb for Roppongi 3.0 to leave the ring. Guess the production botches of last year are continuing tonight.

Jordan 03-25-2018 08:30 PM

Lots of smarks bitching about Jr and Barnett on commentary for the show tonight, but I'd rather listen to Ross half know a product than Kelly's child like voice and Don's constant attempts at self validation.

Emperor Smeat 03-25-2018 08:42 PM

Wonder how much money Yano makes from his constant hawking of DVD merch.

Droford 03-25-2018 08:45 PM

Archer singlely looks like James Storm and Elias

Jordan 03-25-2018 08:45 PM

If Chuckie T would get on the gas he might find himself higher up the card about everywhere. Reminds me of Sami Zayn.

Emperor Smeat 03-25-2018 08:50 PM

:lol: Yano

Emperor Smeat 03-25-2018 08:54 PM

Yano & Chuckie T vs KES match was really good.

Simple Fan 03-25-2018 08:55 PM

Felt like them last two matches flew by. Next match should be interesting.

Emperor Smeat 03-25-2018 09:00 PM

:lol: at the back-and-forth boos & cheers spot for The Villain and Cody.

Droford 03-25-2018 09:04 PM

Lol fuck you Cody

Jordan 03-25-2018 09:08 PM

Are these Tongans related to The Uso's?

8-man tag match was very good

Jordan 03-25-2018 09:43 PM

Great 8 man tag

Jordan 03-25-2018 09:45 PM

Cool pose

Droford 03-25-2018 09:49 PM

KISS Mysterio

Droford 03-25-2018 09:55 PM

Taker and Liver are the same age
*mind blown*

Emperor Smeat 03-25-2018 10:05 PM

Liger-Ospreay match was good.

Biggest weakness of this show so far has been the camerawork and production. Not as terrible as last year when ROH was solely in charge of it.

Jordan 03-25-2018 10:13 PM

I liked Liger and Ospreay. Ospreay is one of the best in the world.

Droford 03-25-2018 10:14 PM

Scurll running in highlight of night
