by Rob Goodwin @REALRobGoodwin& Garth Jackson @DrummerJaxsonA stellar card, a stellar main event and a stellar match including a WWE legend and the best worker in the world today? Why on earth would you not want to watch this event? As a part of a New Years resolution, we said to ourselves that we would make the effort to check out more New Japan Pro Wrestling, the promotion that shook the world last year by churning out event after event of quality content. From Omega and Okada’s trilogy for the ages, to the unbelievable feats of aerial precision from Ospreay and KUSHIDA, to the sheer brutality of Suzuki, to the utter coolness of LIJ, 2017 was a year to remember for the promotion. Of course this comes with pressures. After what can only be described as a wonder event in WrestleKingdom 11, and with the eyes of a much larger Western audience trained on the Tokyo Dome come January 4th 2018, you would forgive them for caving under the pressure and delivering a drastically underwhelming show... Did that happen? Listen to the podcast to find out our views on our first experience of New Japan Pro Wrestling! PS: of course this wasn’t underwhelming, it was incredible, but please still listen to the podcast! Comments are closed.
