Okada vs ZSJ was different but a good match. Crazy it was about 15 minutes before the first strike was thrown. The Roman Reigns Rain Maker was pretty cool. Also watched Golden Lovers vs Cody and Hangman. Japanese tables are a motherfucker.

Rumour doing the rounds is that Kitamura might be finished. Graves type situation with an unshakeable concussion.
Shame, dude was about to go on excursion and probably come back to be a big deal. |

Feel bad for him since he did show some good potential as a star during the very brief time he was around. Probably didn't help he started his career at a much later age than most.
Wonder if the Shibata situation played some role and NJPW is now more concerned or aware of the dangers associated with it. |

Kitamura not coming back might not have to do with a concussion, but something New Japan are happy for people not to know. Make of that what you will.

Shame about Kitamura.
Bone Soldier will not make up for this. |

What if Bone Soldier just beats the living fuck out of Cody and it's revealed to be Kitamura?

I hope it's a different Bone Soldier but knowing Cody probably not.

Could you imagine Jeff Cobb taking over the Bone Soldier gimmick? Not sure what his Lucha Underground situation is but that would be way better than the original Bone Soldier.

According to Jericho, he's currently done with the company due to talks falling apart between the two sides.
Pretty much killed any chance of a Jericho-Naito match happening for the next US show or any time soon. |

Probably one of my favorite Being the Elite moments is when Cody just deadpans Flip: "You'll never perform in the Tokyo Dome, you're not all in, and the earth is fucking round"

Guy doing play by play with Jim Ross is 2,000,000,000,000 % less annoying than Michael Cole, Jonathan Coachman and Booker T.

The crowd seems much louder than I've heard Japanese fans are -- are the crowd noises edited in or have 'the times changed'?

Ok, so 20 seconds is a count-out instead of 10...I wonder if any other rules are different.

That was a really good match, lots of cool spots! Overall, this was (3x shorter) and more enjoyable than RAW this week if I had to compare the two shows.
