    Re: New Japan Pro Wrestling Discussion

    Not trying to look "TOO" much into it, and I know it's all to hype the match up, but at the end he sure did say a lot of "You'll never see it again in New Japan", "His last match in the TokyoDome, his last match in New Japan"

    Possible WrestleMania rematch?

        I'd say it's more likely that they do another match on his cruise

          I'd say it's more likely he and Omega are headlining the Laguna Beach or Chicago, or wherever NJPW has their USA show this year.

            I think the smart money is on this legit being the only match they have. It's the biggest show NJ does. Anything in America ROH/NJPW related would be tiny by comparison.

                  Somehow I have only seen 2 results, Bucks winning the titles and Jay White beating Tanahashi. How the hell I haven’t seen Omega/Jericho result is beyond me.

                      Man, the Jericho/Omega match was awesome. Jericho didn't have a match 1/10th this good in the last few years at WWE. Shows a combination of how great Omega is, what NJPW is all about, and how freaking mediocre WWE matches truly are. Omega is so great tho.

                        That Jericho/Omega match was a classic. It was good to see Jericho show that he is still the best in the world at what he does.

                          The Omega/Jericho match was awesome but holy hell the final sequence to the Okada/Naito match was ****ing amazing.

                            Apparently, this was not a one off for Jericho. He attacked Naito at New Japan’s New Years Dash.

                              I haven't seen the match yet, have it set on my DVR to record the special on AXS TV tomorrow. Though I would say Jericho having a better match in NJPW than in WWE more so says about how badly WWE limits their wrestlers and limits the potentials of matches. Jericho talked about how the things they were doing in the build up, WWE wouldn't let them do if Jericho/Omega was happening in WWE.

                                It's true, they can't really do an adult angle like that in WWE. Can't use offense language or get color. But even just from an in-ring standpoint, it blew me away.

                                Going into this match, part of me was a little worried that Jericho might have a mediocre showing. That came from watching his WWE matches the last year. Did not want to see that at a NJPW dome show.

                                My expectations were in the 3 star area (sorry to sound like a star rating geek), and it ended up being levels above that. Probably should have given Omega more credit for being a master at timing and positioning.

                                It's also about how New Japan presents their matches. Weird analogy, but WWE is like the McDonalds of wrestling presentation. You know what's it gonna be like without even going there.
