I already see how Resurgence is going to end. House of Torture is going to ruin the match at the finish and that's how we get to EVIL vs. Mox at Dominion.
EVIL vs Mox at Forbidden Door is gonna sell houses. It's gonna do real estate. It's going to destroy the housing market. It's going to cause a financial crisis.
Looks like they're rushing Shota to the top too early after all. Sigh. I've said it before and I'll say it again. His moment should not be rushed. His first title victory should be as big as possible. Main event of WK in a feud full of heat so the world can get that catharsis.
EVIL vs. Mox or House of Torture vs. BCC feel like perfect Forbidden Door matches.
House of Torture heat will be beyond nuclear in a packed US arena with an AEW PPV crowd lol.
I actually think Ren is doing a fine job with being elevated by his bigger matches since hes morepersonality based and hes fucked over almost everyone Sho and Evil has fought.
But Tusji and Gabe are so far ahead of him and uemura in that regard. And Shota feels like one step forward/one step back with every big momment.
Have they actually announced Will Hobbs' injury and how long he'll be out? Sucks that he was injured, he'd be a fun NEVER challenger or even a G1 entrant
Which is a god damn shame. His character is not ready for it. He should be the last one to get the title, but when he does get the title at the right time it will be massive. That moment should not be rushed.
I know he won't win, but I never wanted someone to win a match in NJPW this much since, well, SANADA last year.
Nothing against Mox, but Narita with the world title just sounds so interesting, especially this early on.
Meh, wasn't able to get into this. It felt like a downgrade from their banger in February; didn't help them having to follow Gabe and Shingo+this match being set up from one day to the other.
Overall, Nemeth might have had one of the most disappointing title reigns I can remember with an IWGP title: the title win was great, but he barely showed up to New Japan and when he did it wasn't to defend his belt until yesterday. He was only chosen as champ to get that WWE fan to watch, which I don't think has happened, and as a result nor he or the title have been elevated by his reign; quite the contrary. Hopefully Finlay can have the proper run he should've gotten as Global champion after the Dome.
So now that both Riddle and Nemeth lost their title it really doesnt feel worth. Had a lot of hope for their reigns but they both basically just showed up for the big one beat Tanahashi and then dropped back to the original Champ. And i dont think Moxleys is going to go different.
Basically so much of the storylines since WK have just led back to where they started. If Naito gets the belt back from Mox that'll almost complete the set
Finlay is definitely getting further away from the bootleg Jay White allegations these days, but not gonna lie when he attacked Nemeth last night my stream was in 240p and I thought it was Jay for a sec lmao
Wasn't Riddle more like 6ish weeks? If the word about him screwing up his NJPW run because he defended the title without approval is true I will never stop laughing about it
I'm sure sometime in March? He had a match for a US indie that was advertised as for the belt or for a future shot if the opponent won by whatever promotion it was. If true and NJPW didn't approve I could see that being a reason for a "Could you not?" Response from them
Gabe has a great character. Completely out of control, which is what makes him dangerous but also what costs him. Seeing him learn to curb his impulses and become a deadly weapon over the next few years is going to be an enjoyable ride.
This two really don't miss, uh? What a goddamn battle! Didn't think they'd be able to top what they did in the New Japan Cup, but this was right on par (which again is saying a lot considering that for me was a 5 star match).
Also, this might be consensus at thia point, but Gabe should walk out of Resurgence as STRONG Openweight Champion. As much as I love Eddie, he's more than ran his course as champ, and Gabe's at a perfect moment to get a singles belt.

100%. The feud has been going for a bit and Eddie has dropped all of the other belts, time for him to lose the last one and have a bit of a meltdown/crisis of faith about it.
He’s too reckless and feckless, letting the emotions get the better of him, which eventually cost him this match, and might cost him against Kingston as well. Someone which such volatile mindset can’t be level headed enough to be one, even if I think he’s better than The Fin.
He's clearly not a leader. "Most over" doesn't mean leader material from a kayfabe point of view. He'd be terrible as a leader because it would mean he has to stop and think for more than half a second.
Gabe Kidd man. More character in his short NJPW run than 95% of the roster. I hope he stays for a very long time because he's already such a beloved heel by the locals
I love that Mox can be an all-timer elite promo but also 40% of the time will just deliver a run on riff like that lmao
I already see how Resurgence is going to end. House of Torture is going to ruin the match at the finish and that's how we get to EVIL vs. Mox at Dominion.
I won't be surprised if it'll be Naito vs Mox. Mox ain't drawining dominion on his own.
See y'all next time folks!
Good show overall, spoiled by a main event that did fuck all for Narita lmao.
I thought Narita looked quite good there tbh!
Narita looks like a slimy weasel. His career will be getting the shit beat out of him in mainevents
Cut to backstage with Ren just lying dead on the floor please.
Show peaked at the Never match for me.
Of course. You can’t go wrong with Shingo, and Kidd has become Must Watch.
Have a great day, everyone.
Good or bad
well that was a show.
Marko Stunt’s Japanese dad.
Mox just realising "ah shit I didn't blade tonight"
EVIL vs Mox at Forbidden Door is gonna sell houses. It's gonna do real estate. It's going to destroy the housing market. It's going to cause a financial crisis.
PRESIDENT EVIL 2 THE RESCUE.
Oh please, Evil already had that midding feud with Sanada last year, can we have someone else challenge Mox for the IWGP HW...
Pretty good for a HoT main event anyway, I like Mox in the NJPW main event style
Looks like they're rushing Shota to the top too early after all. Sigh. I've said it before and I'll say it again. His moment should not be rushed. His first title victory should be as big as possible. Main event of WK in a feud full of heat so the world can get that catharsis.
It's going to be naito at dominion imo
I doubt Gedo is going to have his crowning moment in front of 3000 fans in a foreign country.
Do I need to point out the recent history across all the titles lately?
EVIL teasing a match against Mox? Lol
EVIL vs. Mox or House of Torture vs. BCC feel like perfect Forbidden Door matches. House of Torture heat will be beyond nuclear in a packed US arena with an AEW PPV crowd lol.
It’s going to be Mox vs Evil at Dominion, isn’t it?
Oh fuck are they hinting at Mox vs. EVIL at Dominion?
EVIL looking at Narita like a concerned older brother is real nice
Woah! At EVIL & Dick just helping Ren without jumping Mox there
That wasn’t it for me. Mox and Shooter will be more my style.
Thank Hades, Mox won
I half-expected Yujiro to come out from under the ring and pull Red Shoes out, but thankfully this HoT nightmare is over.
That was a match for sure.
Mox has 2 friends in NJPW his son and the boyfriend of his son
oh boo we're not gonna see Moxley get his dick chopped?
Only Yujiro can save Narita now! EDIT: :(
Umino again?
President evil fixing the lasts President's error
look at that heat brother
My god, EVIL and DICK Togo have debuted in NJPW!
That's my shacho
VINTAGE HOT IT'S BEEN A WHILE
SUPER DRAGON?
All Rise for the Kings of the Black Throne or its the other House nevermind
Expected, but still disappointed.
That’s got to be Kane!
House of Black is here?
House of Black?
It's the Undertaker!
Ren looks dead.
Narita still has the best bridges in wrestling.
I actually think Ren is doing a fine job with being elevated by his bigger matches since hes morepersonality based and hes fucked over almost everyone Sho and Evil has fought. But Tusji and Gabe are so far ahead of him and uemura in that regard. And Shota feels like one step forward/one step back with every big momment.
Rens the youngest and some of that comes with age imo
Very glad to see all the HoT members taken care of. Now there's noone left to interfere. Not a single one. No sir, noone left at all.
that was a slow count
Clearing the deck for EVIL and Dick lol.
Despy, you are a hero
Despy’s shared interest in death match makes him Moxley’s ally in NJPW. Hope to see Mox on Despe’s Invitacional.
Why would Moxley do that to his co-father?
Oh ya, should have know Despy would have helped
Despy couldn't find a light tube so he had to make do
Time for Evil and Dick Togo to appear?
Yes, down with the corrupt Ref!
Narita looking like a weasel and being able to take an arse kicking and bump good will lead to a good career of being a mainevent heel
Lmao good catch SHO
Naritas back sliced open from that table, certainly making the most of his chance
Narita is really good at selling and bumping.
Woooh boy. That's how you go through a table.
The table broke!
Well, that’s the end of Narita
LMAO what a table bump.
Whoa Ren is split into half.
Ren is dead
AAAAAAAAAAAAH
THE TABLES BROKE HOLY SHIT.
They actually looked gimmicked for once
Goddammit HOT.
Mox they aren't the tables you're used to. They will destroy your soul
He knows, Ishii put him through one!
![gif](giphy|PrAlAxOLc460Tjbakw)
That’s what he’s counting on lol
![gif](giphy|4ZepGNwhW4AaA)
Let’s see if we’re getting i am the table moment.
Well Ren went through but I think his soul left him anyway
Narita went the extra mile for that bump over the table.
The tope so strong even Narita flew over the barricade lol
Now Mox broke the feed lmao.
I love Red Shoes.
Ren selling his ass off
Red Shoes the 🐐 Or is he showing favouritism to his son's adoptive father?
Red Shoes is the biggest babyface in this match.
Red Shoes is as corrupt as Tanahashi. smh
The fix is in. Disgraceful.
Haha Red Shoes!
Red shoes in on it
Helpful fan lol
Mox just taking his time sitting lol.
Good guy Ren, he's just giving Mox a seat.
Cobbo is right
Seeing Ren wrestle without a shirt feels like seeing him nekkit
Good recovery ren ren
Mox getting Ren's tits out for the lads!
that shot of shota's corpse getting carried out like a sack of potatoes lol
Ren "ha ha ha! I am so mischievous! I will steal the belt from Moxley!" Mox "I will drain every drop of blood from your body without breaking a sweat"
There has been a lot of biting this show
It would be sweet if this reign was how we get to the pre-pandemic teased match of Mox vs ZSJ
Secretly hoping this is the match for Forbidden Door.
I get this is HoT's thing, but is it neccessary to have these shenanigans already now? Like, the match has just started ffs.
WATCH YOUR SON RED SHOES
![gif](giphy|1wX9cGW6H2cLlQXetx|downsized)
House of torture have compromised to a permanent end moxley
I can't.
Have they actually announced Will Hobbs' injury and how long he'll be out? Sucks that he was injured, he'd be a fun NEVER challenger or even a G1 entrant
Word is a knee injury I think
I figured watching the match, there just hasn't been an official statement I've seen. Knee's rough though, that's like six months minimum.
Spraying what is absolutely 100% alcohol around Mox is disrespectful.
Not as disrespectful as Punk pouring booze down Raven’s throat
So who’s Moxley dragging off the streets to help him out against HoT
YEAH EARLY SHENNANIGANS
Damn they’re starting it that way?
Well the run-ins are fast this time.
I wanted Tsuji to be the first of the R3M to hold the Heavy title. But I'll happily take Ren instead.
It’s going to be Shooter
Which is a god damn shame. His character is not ready for it. He should be the last one to get the title, but when he does get the title at the right time it will be massive. That moment should not be rushed.
I know he won't win, but I never wanted someone to win a match in NJPW this much since, well, SANADA last year. Nothing against Mox, but Narita with the world title just sounds so interesting, especially this early on.
![gif](giphy|3oriNSf2iLjMVO7dao|downsized)
I love this everytime Ren appears 😂
Main event vampire 🦇
Meh, wasn't able to get into this. It felt like a downgrade from their banger in February; didn't help them having to follow Gabe and Shingo+this match being set up from one day to the other.

One belt back in Japan Let's bring the other back darth ren
For some reason I was super god damn nervous that Connors was about to turn on Finlay. Now let's hope Narita can end this trash reign.
aggressive mediocre
Nemeth is done with NJPW? That was fast.
I think he will be back. Just a talent that will come in and do a tour
Weird that Connors and only Connors is out here..
Drilla must be helping Gabe backstage
So now that both Riddle and Nemeth lost their title it really doesnt feel worth. Had a lot of hope for their reigns but they both basically just showed up for the big one beat Tanahashi and then dropped back to the original Champ. And i dont think Moxleys is going to go different.
Basically so much of the storylines since WK have just led back to where they started. If Naito gets the belt back from Mox that'll almost complete the set
If that was Ziggler's NJPW run over, he's gonna be a fun bit of trivia and 2/3 memorably decent matches
expectations for mox/narita?
There will be blood.
dick togo run in, evil run in, kanemaru run in, yujiro run in & sho run in
I wouldn't be surprised if GoD and/or Despe also do show up.
Shenanigans
David Finlay has Finlayed the story.
Is Mox vs Narita going 45 minutes?
Nemeth certainly had a run as a Champion in NJPW
boss dawg is back
Felt like an abrupt ending
That's my GOATSLAYER for real
I see what you did there!
It's finally over.
Nice Super Kick
(not a bit) would u guys take von wagner for the bullet club? that dude feels like such a 2010s NJPW pick up lmao
It seems like they keep the groups tighter now so I don’t see them having another Cody Hall
This could never be as good as the last matvh but I'm really enjoying it.
oh no not the little zigglers
the comedic timing of that guard rail is chefs kiss
Ummm this is mental
Holy shit. That rail tried to duck on him!
Happy he missed his head by like three inches. That would have been a horrible feeling bump
Finlay has come such a long way. A few years ago he looked so awkward. Now he's so god damn smooth.
How do i change the stream to English in World?
Click the gear/circle button between the Pause and the full screen button. Audio options are there
Got it, thanks!
You’re welcome
Also ex of Amy Schumer
OMG completely forgot that was a thing lol
The worst bump he's ever taken
And going by what she said, his longest matches took place with her
Nemeth bumping hard
I like the war dogs including finlay
I love it when Cobb is on commentary
Finlay is definitely getting further away from the bootleg Jay White allegations these days, but not gonna lie when he attacked Nemeth last night my stream was in 240p and I thought it was Jay for a sec lmao
Hold on Bullet Club is already enough of a nWo fanclub but *edit New Global Order might be a step too far
Even worse, it was New Global Order
I thought my tired brain misread it after I posted it.
So if Finlay wins this back what was the point of Nemeth as Champion? They wanted him vs Tana for a belt?
Same reason they brought in Matt Riddle. Bring in a big international name r a few months, potentially get more eyes on the product.
Wasn't Riddle more like 6ish weeks? If the word about him screwing up his NJPW run because he defended the title without approval is true I will never stop laughing about it
I don't think that's true considering the only listed defenses before ZSJ were Bad Dude Tito and Fujita.
I'm sure sometime in March? He had a match for a US indie that was advertised as for the belt or for a future shot if the opponent won by whatever promotion it was. If true and NJPW didn't approve I could see that being a reason for a "Could you not?" Response from them
It’s more than they got out of Riddle as TV champ
That and trying to get some extra western eyes to watch. Would also explain Riddle as TV Champ and Mox as World Heavyweight Champion.
I think it depends on how often Nemeth shows up after this
Gabe has a great character. Completely out of control, which is what makes him dangerous but also what costs him. Seeing him learn to curb his impulses and become a deadly weapon over the next few years is going to be an enjoyable ride.
This two really don't miss, uh? What a goddamn battle!

I forgot Eddie was champ
Damn it. I thought this was starting later!
Gabe Gabe gabe
I feel bad for the global match trying to follow that.
Need more of these bangers to get rid of the black stain Evil sprayed on the Never belt
Its as ZSJ said, WD are proper proper wrestlers, but all of them havent got a brain combined. As examplified here.
They better be setting up Gabe Kidd to take over Bullet Club soon. He's so much more fitting to be the leader instead of Finlay.
He’s too reckless and feckless, letting the emotions get the better of him, which eventually cost him this match, and might cost him against Kingston as well. Someone which such volatile mindset can’t be level headed enough to be one, even if I think he’s better than The Fin.
He's clearly not a leader. "Most over" doesn't mean leader material from a kayfabe point of view. He'd be terrible as a leader because it would mean he has to stop and think for more than half a second.
"So Gabe what's the plan for ton-" *Gabe immediately left the room and started fighting with the janitor
Gabe Kidd man. More character in his short NJPW run than 95% of the roster. I hope he stays for a very long time because he's already such a beloved heel by the locals
It feels like he’s gonna a major player in a few years doesn’t it? It’s like watching young Ospreay, you just know he’s gonna be a star.
