Hilarious that this looks better than basically every Death Rider that I've seen Mox perform. I really like the way he pivots to a front facelock on the way down.

Bolton manhandling Hartley was really something, especially on the finisher.
Was also really impressed with some of the moves Fujita did on Aaron Wolf.

I'm not terribly surprised by what Boltin can pull off by now, he's clearly just a monster. Fujita though, I agree. He's really strong for his size.

>>21361025
I really enjoyed the Fujita/Wolf match personally and felt like Fujita did a great job getting some of the best I've seen out of Wolf so far. Wolf seems very humble and I like his personality, he's obviously got great potential to draw, and I think he'll get there eventually but he still has a long way to go before it all clicks together I think.
The match made a really good case for revitalizing the NEVER Openweight division, which is where I think both guys belong at this point in their career.

>>21361055
>felt like Fujita did a great job getting some of the best I've seen out of Wolf so far
Absolutely. I think it helps that this was Wolf's first real feud outside of the House of Torture vortex, but he really showed out in this feud.
>The match made a really good case for revitalizing the NEVER Openweight division
God, I hope so. It's been relegated to being just a storyline MacGuffin for the longest time now. It would be really cool if it turned into a true openweight belt, but I kind of doubt it. It's really hard to make openweight feuds work in companies with set weight divisions, Fujita/Wolf is just a really fitting case where experience makes up for the weight difference.

>>21361100
Shit, it's even been nice seeing Ospreay around there.
I'll be honest. I've been largely tuned out of the men's side of puroresu for the past few years (I watch joshi, I've posted a few joshi clips in past threads here). I check in, of course - I've long been of a mind that men's wrestling at its best is going to be better than women's wrestling at its best (except, perhaps, in the case of 90s joshi, which was in a league of its own). But honestly I've been enjoying what I've seen as of late in both New Japan as well as NOAH and it all feels like it's worth watching again. There's direction and I have this feeling things will start getting really good again over the next few years.

NJPW's been real up and down for me this year. I think WK was pretty great, then the whole Newman thing around the NJC kinda sucked. Then the G1 was fantastic and now WK is looking like it'll be an AEW crossover show which is concerning to say the least.
NOAH's been in a weird limbo where it feels like they're building to something significant for a while now, they just haven't gotten there yet. I feel like it's up to the booking of Kaito/Ozawa/Inamura to decide how I feel about them going forward.

Love seeing Cobb try, though. If you had asked me after he left I wouldn't have said I wanted him back, but he's won me over. Maybe we're still in the honeymoon period and he's gonna midcard it up for the rest of his time in NJPW, but I really appreciate how it seems like he's been going all out in tag matches and stuff too.

It's such a shame that whoever-in-charge made the baffling decision to announce the MJF challenge on the tour leading into this match, not the tour after. Sure, it's a smaller show and the title isn't exactly expected to change hands, but still. It felt like Oiwa entered with enough momentum and the match was good enough that the crowd (me included) were biting. Sucks that they took the air out of it before it began.

It's so tiresome. Ice had that promo early in the year that went viral and then he made a point of saying he didn't want to work AEW, then Tsuji had that banger G1 and he made a point of saying he didn't want to work AEW, and now here we are a few months later back in the toybox, working AEW. I really thought it was coming to an end.

Yeah, exactly how I feel. At this point of the year there's usually at least one WK match or angle that makes the event a must-watch for me (I'll be watching either way, but regardless), but at this point all that's set in stone is four (4) AEW invasion matches. Not what I want to see after a G1 that established a ton of this generation as major players.

I'm gonna close out with a short stroll down the King's Road! Two short ones for tonight. The first one is Kobashi vs. Kakihara from 16.07.1999. This one plays out fairly similarly to their match from a year before, only this time Kobashi has a busted nose and Kakihara has some more AJPW cred via his teaming with Untouchables. It's fun stuff. I really like the little flinch sell Kobashi does from that inital one-two palm strike combo here.
