STRIGGA

It's too bad that the show was so stacked and after watching Shibata vs. Goto essentially just repeating what they did at Dominion you really need to question why they put that match on this PPV if they're having it in G1 again. Their time could've been split for some matches like Suzuki vs. Ishii and Naito vs. Tanaka. I would've loved to see some more minutes for those matches. The time for the main event was fine I thought.

I recently rewatched Shibata vs. Akiyama in their famous WRESTLE-1 bout. Just plain brutal. Shibata really is the man and I never thought that he could be back in his pro-wrestling mode in such a short time competing again. The same man, who headdropped himself with a corner dropkick during that DREAM/IGFnew year's eve show in 2011, places a perfect corner dropkick these days. I'm really hoping for a Shibata vs. Nakamura final.
