    Just ordered the BOLA DVD's, not sure when they'll actually ship out though. Can't wait to watch.

    Also, looks like TNA/GFW might be done for real this time. Jarrett has left for "personal reasons" and Anthem wants to sell

    CCW just announced their first ever fan fest and Jeff Hardy's band is going to be performing and he's doing a meet and greet. Tickets go on sale while I'm at work because of course they do, but I'm going to try and buy them when I'm on break before the meet & greet sells out

    Ye it was the Suzuki/Elgin. There's Ospreay/Ishii vs Naito/Hiromu and a three way tag with War Machine/GOD/Killer Elite for the titles. Probably skippable tbh, can't imagine any of those guys going all out right now.

    Hiroshima card this weekend should be great

    * IWGP IC Title Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Zack Sabre Jr. for the IWGP Intercontinental title
    * IWGP Jr. Title Match: KUSHIDA vs. El Desperado for the IWGP Jr. title
    * Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano, Will Ospreay and Gedo vs. Tetsuya Naito, EVIL, SANADA, BUSHI and Hiromu Takahashi
    * Juice Robinson and David Finlay vs. Kenny Omega and Bad Luck Fale
    Champions War Machine vs. Guerillas of Destiny and Killer Elite Squad
    * IWGP Jr. Tag Title Match: Ricochet and Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Taichi
    * Kota Ibushi, Michael Elgin and Togi Makabe vs. Minoru Suzuki, Takashi Iizuka and Taka Michinoku
    * Roppongi Vice vs. Yujiro Takahashi and Chase Owens
    * Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Jushin Thunder Liger and Tiger Mask vs. Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI and Jado

    Destruction Ratings

    Zack Sabre Jr/Tanahashi - 4.25 (masterful technical work from both, just unbelievable s---. Interference rly hurt it)
    GOD/Killer Elite/War Machine - 3
    Kushida/El Desperado - 4.25
    Ricochet/Taguci vs Taichi/Kanemaru - 4

    Okada/Evil tag was missing from the stream I watched, heard it was really good.

    Omega/Juice and Okada/Ospreay vs Evil/Hiromu this weekend

    This episode was fantastic. I hope everyone in @NJPWBros is watching this series because it keeps getting better and better, they're putting a ton of work into these storylines

    I think the scene where Kenny has to explain why Brandi is written on his wrist gotta be one of the funniest ever...love how they aren't exhausting or making all of their storyline payoffs obvious, keeps you wondering what'll happen next

    Also the Dave Meltzer cameo!!!!!

    Gonna try to watch the top matches from this show later

    totally didn't expect it, caught me off guard

    had a brief conversation about it being cool to meet someone IRL who also watches NJPW, then I asked when he started watching (both he and I started when AJ went to New Japan), discussed AJ breaking Yoshi-Tatsu's neck w/ the styles clash. He mentioned he had a bullet club shirt.

    was really cool, this the first time I've worn it in public too
