Curtis axel is on the nxt roster now. Like tyson Kidd was. Hopefully he gains a character. I think his first fued is with Balor.
I ever so slightly preferred the Kota and Shinsuke match, but Okada and Tanahashi really put on an excellent show as well, especial with their history. And yeah, I prefer the crazy excitement provided by the OG New Japan commentary team. Although I only know a few Japanese words (and most of those I learned from Anime. ) their enthusiasm more than makes up for it.Wrestle Kingdom was a great show overall.
The opening tag team match was decent but not up to the standards of the other junior tags they've had at previous Dome Shows. Sakuraba/Suzuki was solid but they could've given us more; Ishii/Makabe was very good.
Styles and Naito had a very solid match but again I thought it lacked any good nearfalls to make it great, not as good as their G1 bout.
Both main events were outstanding man, just quality, what can you say? I think Tana/Okada was slightly better just because of the history between the both and that crazy HFF over the barrier. Do still think Naka/Ibushi from the G1 a couple years ago was better than this one, but not by much. Ibushi is a star for sure, when he brings out that aggresive side it's money.
Didn't like JR and Striker on commentary, I mean they weren't terrible but I badly missed the Japanese guy going nuts. Maybe I'm just too used to the foreign commentary?
re: DeMott
Hating him doesn't mean he isn't a great trainer though. Most of Larry Brown's players hate him after while as well
it's so they can edit his horribleness between tuesday and Thursday before it airs.No raws but he does smackdowns that's weird
