[puroresu paradox] Congrats first off to former never trio/i-c champion Elgin on rumble victory! Billy Gunn in very respectable shape rocking a "bullet club HUNTER" shirt!? Bullet club's so-called "bone soldier" was surprisingly unimpressive in every way except his mask. Yoshi-Tatsu rocking b-c hunter shirt.(merch idea or new faction?) Tiger Mask pinning Lyger as he locked on surfboard was very slick. 2015 rumble champ Nagata's shirt had inside reverse face. Elgin throwing Gunn out after gunn's SUCK IT! phrase was very good comedy moment.(nobody tells mschif's hubby to you-know-what except her!) SCOTT "flash" NORTON IS STILL A BADASS!(nuff said) Considerable credit to buck's "superkick tag champion" belt creator!(too sweet that) Extra credit to Rocky Romero on on record 7th jr tag title! "Tokyo Pimp" Takahashi channelled his inner godfather/val venis with 4 illegal looking ladies.(bullet club strip club?? sign me up!!) Sadly Tenzan was absent to defend trio title. Juice Robinson is a future star to watch for. Todd Sinclair represented ROH & sport with extra honor making the trip wearing wk11 shirt. Jushin Lyger aided color team. Yano entering ring with stolen WTL trophy AND tag belts made chaos look like double champions,who steal triple threat bout anyway! The uncensored cursing was obvious enough to produce this Kelley-Corino moment:"steve shut off his mike because he's laughing so much." Argueably best ringgear/coat attire goes to "timebomb" Takahashi.(another future star to watch for) MASAHIRO CHONO joins colorteam with Lyger!(nuff said) Corino/Naito fist bump was cool moment. Naito fully cemented his top level status while Tanahashi proved he's still got it in 17's first MOTYC! Lastly,as far as Omega/Okada goes I'll close this review in 4 words: MATCH OF THE YEAR. grade A [njpwworld.com] [rudoreels.com] [@njpwglobal]
