This will be my third year in a row watching live. On the west coast I have to pull an all nighter tonight, but 9pm-2am for night two is super sweet.

I didn't do any work today from home thinking I had the weekend and forgot all about not being able to watch this shit live. I'm hooped.

I work nights, so I'm actually a little disappointed night 2 starts so early. I won't get out of work until about 1 am est

Yeah, that's a Sunday thing. I would always forget until I actually attended a NJPW show on a Sunday. Always messes up my G1 + gym schedule.

I can't believe this is my 15th year of being hype for this show. You know how hard it was to find a stream back in the day?

I remember being on the SSS mIRC (!!! mIRC!!!) chat waiting on live reports of results. Hahahaha.

That lived up to the hype and then some. A little bit of silliness at the end where Will stuck his head up for that new bonkers finish but I'm... just fine with that in the bigger picture.

Great match between Will Ospreay and Hiromu Takahashi. Tetsuya Naito vs. Jay White went too long, needed trimming. Right guy won in Naito. Now it's time for Kazuchika Okada vs. Kota Ibushi.

What a great match and then Red Shoes tries to fuck it. I'd probably go 5er for jr. and 4.75 on that one. I can see the argument for both getting 5 tho. Just awesome, consistent storytelling through character work by two of the best at that.

I'm seeing both these opinions echoed on my Twitter timeline. Watching a 20-30 minute Jay White control segment live at 5:45 am, I'd lean towards "too long" personally, but I didn't hate it or anything.

Kazuchika Okada in trunks for the first time rather than usual short tights, his classic look. Okada debuted his long pants at Wrestle Kingdom 12.

So far this feels an awful lot like Naito/Okada from 2018: slow and a little awkward. Kota damn near paralyzed himself with that back flip kick.

Also, it would seem for most that the emotional crescendo was Naito's victory. They love Naito. They empathize with Ibushi and respect Okada.
