I haven't watch night 1 main event yet, but did see night 2
Aside from the Stardom match, the rest of WK was very lackluster and it was tough to keep my attention at times. I am obviously very familiar with Stardom, and they hit all their signature moves and tore the house down. I actually predicted the finish before they even announced the participants; I knew they'd want to show off Kamitani's Phoenix Splash 
The EVIL stuff is all time bad, like even worse than WWE. They somehow managed to have a bad Ishii match, that's how bad EVIL and House of Torture are.
I HATED the Tanahashi match. I hate garbage matches to begin with, and this one was extra dangerous which I don't find appealing. KENTA looks like he almost died hitting that garbage can from like 3m high.
But man, Ospreay vs Okada was an instant classic. Could become MOTY 2022 |
House of Torture and Dick Tojo are probably the worst thing to happen to within NJPW during this whole covid era. I was never a fan of EVIL anyways so it didn't matter. However, the biggest waste of talent in that whole stable is SHO... or maybe he just isn't as good as he was during the Roppongi3k stuff.. no idea.
KENTA goofed on the fall, don't think his eye/face was suppose to fall on the edge of the can. Those NJPW tables.. for whatever reason, don't break like they do in American, and u can kinda see why now, they got that ikea honeycomb like design runnin thru it to give it the strength. That US belt has become synonymous with hardcore matches now tho... long gone from when Jay White and Omega held it.
and yea... nothing more to say about the Okada Osprey match.. that rainmaker countered into the spanish fly was SMOOOOTH
