Archibald Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 While I'm sure that people would be happy to see Naito and others on these smallers shows... they deserve some rest as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt925 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Not sure where to put this but this is breaking news. I couldn’t make the show tonight but I’ll be at this one. Cool venue too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Ended up grabbing last minute tickets for tonight's show. Looks like a fun show, plus I know I would regret passing up probably my last chance of seeing Liger in person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Show was fun. Only one merch table, but it was done well. I probably only spent 10-15 minutes in line since I was part of the first group let in. Meltzer has the results. Biggest pops were of course for Liger, Naito and Taguchi. Biggest heel reactions was to Jay White, ELP, and New Japan for announcing their next show to be in San Jose. Spoiler EL P hit a gusher diving onto Dragon Lee on a table. White challenged Naito for Wrestle Kingdom. Ospreay and Eagles challenged ELP and Ishimori for the Jr. Tag belts. ELP of course challenged Ospreay for the Jr. belt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB-13 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Also read that Phantasmo wants to retire Liger at the Dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I know he wants to, and Liger can do what he wants, but I really don't want to see Liger's retirement wasted on ELP. I've been kinda hoping Hiromu is back and fully running by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenalysis Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I'm going to bet it's Ospreay, who will leave the junior division afterwards. If Hiromu's back, I'm betting he's doing junior tag for a few months just to get him used to things again- they're going to take it slow with him.

Godfrey Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Semis and finals were pretty great. I accidentally spoiled this show and was doubting Phantasmo a little but he earned every bit of his victories. Lee/Caristico was very fluid, I imagine these guys have worked together a bunch. Lee nails a fantastic tope at one point, smashing Carisitico with his body but still landing safely. Ospreay’s selling is Hulk Hogan levels over the top sometimes but I was just buzzed enough to find it funny. ELP landed a rope walk moonsault I was sure was going end badly and his diving foot stomp in the last match was balls out. Not even sure how Phantasmo started bleeding but it added to the match too. Maybe not the most technically sound tournament but those last few matches were a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
