Fite are charging 40 dollars (£31.46 / €35.30) for this. Bit too steep I think, for me anyway! Especially since it's a given who will going over in two of the three biggest matches (if Kenny or Okada lose I will genuinely be shocked).

Worry not, because if you're subbed to NJPWWorld. Well check the tweet.

Kinda makes buying ppv for 40 dollars pointless when you can get it on world for a lot cheaper

Cherry_Cola

Many here gonna be watching live? I'm quite excited for it now actually, bought my first ever wrestling PPV Janela/Page and Pentagon/Omega are what I'm looking forward to most.

Lord TSC

Not live, but will 100% be watching in the morning.

Can't remember the last non-WWE PPV I've watched. But really looking forward to this.

Infernum

Is it being streamed (legally) anywhere? I heard it's available on NJPW World but am not sure.

sky88

Wont be watching live but shall catch it in the morning on the matches i want to watch

CastorTroy

It's tonight? Thought it was a while away. Don't know what caught me off guard more. The fact this is so early in September or that it's September already

Lord TSC

First look at the stage.

Another view of the Sears Centre for the show.

Turns out Justin Roberts is one of the ring announcers for the night.

Also

Chris Jericho

has apparently been spotted in Chicago..

Agent Coulson

Anyone know what kind of turn out Punk got last night at his appearance or indeed did he actually turn up?

He did turn up and his signing drew a huge crowd, queue stretched 6 blocks if this is to be believed.

the fans who showed up for a meet and greet which went on for seven hours told a different story.

Well he got in on the Finn gimmick so he can't be that bad all the same.

Now Finn vs Punk please.

CastorTroy

If they were doing the Finn pose, they would have the big grin.

Agent Coulson

Punk with a smile on his face.. Come On

Agent Coulson

Is Dave Meltzer All In?


Since it started with his Tweet I would hope he is there.

ShaneU

Brandi is unreal



Was not expecting to see Glacier tonight

On Fite tv and New Japan World.

Not on New Japan yet anyway. It’s still €40 on Fite tv too. So I’d imagine it won’t be on NJW for a few days.

HandsomeBob

From what I've read sounds like it was a low key but jam packed with good matches. Did get a chuckle out of one review criticising the production values.... hardly shocking like.

sky88

Finished it there very enjoyable show. I dont think there was any moty but still very good. Omega/pentagon and janela/page by far matches of the night.

The main event was great but you could really tell they had a longer match planned but was cut for time. Kinda dissapointing as it was the match i was most looking forward to.

Amell tried his best and for an actor put on a grand match.

Cody/aldis was a very wwe booked match but i think that was smart as cody is average in ring and aldis is terrible.

By far okada/marty was the only downer for me didnt enjoy it at all the worst okada match ive watched. Would have been much better cutting the time in half and giving it to main event.

The joey ryan bit hell im not sure what to think i love some ridiculous in wrestling but i think it was too much.

Agent Coulson

That was so fun a great way to spend 5 hours on a Sunday watching wrestling.


Brandi is perfection.

nazmoalex

Watched it live from Cody's match onwards, really enjoyed it. Main event being cut short sucked but they did really well with the time they had. Last 3 matches delivered.. hope they put on another show.

Lord TSC

I enjoyed it.

The quality of wrestling on NXT has probably spoiled me but I have to be honest, I didn't think the quality of matches were amazing. Same issue I had the night in OTT I went, there seemed to be a lack of people co-ordinating matches between them. I lost count of how many cutters I saw, and a lot devolved into spot fests. Memorable moments rather than amazing matches.

Mind, the moments were brilliant; Cody winning the title, Amell through the table, Penis druids, Jericho, Flip winning the battle royal. The moments were brilliant.

And you felt that it was more about showing the crowd would go and have an awesome time, and that the show could exist in the state it did. I don't know if the fans were there for 5 star matches, as much as it was about being part of a "movement". And I'd bet every fan left the show feeling as if they had been a part of something really special.

So in that regard, it was an awesome show.

Loughc

It was a great event but some of the live online was a bit OTT. The twitter fans were screaming that every match was 5 stars and anyone that said anything different got torn out of it. Even the WWE/NXT fans aren’t that delusional to think an entire card can but stacked with all 5 star matches.

Lithium93_

Is there anyone in wrestling having a better 2018 than

Chris Jericho

?

ricero

Jasus these indy vanilla midgets really have lacklustre in-ring psychology and dont know how to sell at all. Pure spotfest.

CastorTroy

Pentagon Jr isn't having a bad time either with Lucha Underground then Impact and now fighting Omega at this. I'm sure there was a list of people to fight Omega.

Speaking of Lucha Underground, when they kept on about Matt Cross being a 20 year veteran, I googled him and how could I not have recognised his beard as being the same as Son of Havoc.

I've got a strange feeling Austin Gunn is inspired by his dad.

Was cool seeing Cody win.

I take it that Madison Rayne isn't signed to WWE? Or was she finishing up bookings? Chelsea Green struck me as better than her time in Impact. Thought Britt was the weak link here. Tenille was pretty decent on commentary

Trying to decide if Brandi looked better in her Cody outfit or Flip outfit.
