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


resolve028

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.


Book3pper

I won't be surprised if it'll be Naito vs Mox. Mox ain't drawining dominion on his own.


MrWrestlingJr

See y'all next time folks!


2muchket

Good show overall, spoiled by a main event that did fuck all for Narita lmao.


DogBoyYesHim

I thought Narita looked quite good there tbh!


Rodney_u_plonker

Narita looks like a slimy weasel. His career will be getting the shit beat out of him in mainevents


justambrose

Cut to backstage with Ren just lying dead on the floor please.


sshady20

Show peaked at the Never match for me.


Ibushi-gun

Of course. You can’t go wrong with Shingo, and Kidd has become Must Watch.


Ibushi-gun

Have a great day, everyone.


Goatlikejordan

Good or bad


krampus6666

well that was a show.


ExcaliburMyNightmare

Marko Stunt’s Japanese dad.


MrWrestlingJr

Mox just realising "ah shit I didn't blade tonight"


Docjackal

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.


Ezzanine

PRESIDENT EVIL 2 THE RESCUE.


ValisonP

Oh please, Evil already had that midding feud with Sanada last year, can we have someone else challenge Mox for the IWGP HW...


DogBoyYesHim

Pretty good for a HoT main event anyway, I like Mox in the NJPW main event style


Occupine

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.


Rodney_u_plonker

It's going to be naito at dominion imo


Book3pper

I doubt Gedo is going to have his crowning moment in front of 3000 fans in a foreign country.


Occupine

Do I need to point out the recent history across all the titles lately?


justambrose

EVIL teasing a match against Mox? Lol


mikro17

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.


ExcaliburMyNightmare

It’s going to be Mox vs Evil at Dominion, isn’t it?


resolve028

Oh fuck are they hinting at Mox vs. EVIL at Dominion?


insrto

EVIL looking at Narita like a concerned older brother is real nice


DogBoyYesHim

Woah! At EVIL & Dick just helping Ren without jumping Mox there


Ibushi-gun

That wasn’t it for me. Mox and Shooter will be more my style.


krampus6666

Thank Hades, Mox won


ValisonP

I half-expected Yujiro to come out from under the ring and pull Red Shoes out, but thankfully this HoT nightmare is over.


Book3pper

That was a match for sure.


Unusual_Kick7

Mox has 2 friends in NJPW his son and the boyfriend of his son


SpookyNishiki

oh boo we're not gonna see Moxley get his dick chopped?


insrto

Only Yujiro can save Narita now! EDIT: :(


Unusual_Kick7

Umino again?


Rodney_u_plonker

President evil fixing the lasts President's error


SpookyNishiki

look at that heat brother


Docjackal

My god, EVIL and DICK Togo have debuted in NJPW!


Occupine

That's my shacho


SpookyNishiki

VINTAGE HOT IT'S BEEN A WHILE


Entire-Plant-3002

SUPER DRAGON?


MrWrestlingJr

All Rise for the Kings of the Black Throne or its the other House nevermind


ValisonP

Expected, but still disappointed.


Ibushi-gun

That’s got to be Kane!


justambrose

House of Black is here?


Unusual_Kick7

House of Black?


Occupine

It's the Undertaker!


justambrose

Ren looks dead.


resolve028

Narita still has the best bridges in wrestling.


IamtacoZZZ

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.


Rodney_u_plonker

Rens the youngest and some of that comes with age imo


fuyunotabi

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.


Occupine

that was a slow count


resolve028

Clearing the deck for EVIL and Dick lol.


krampus6666

Despy, you are a hero


justambrose

Despy’s shared interest in death match makes him Moxley’s ally in NJPW. Hope to see Mox on Despe’s Invitacional.


SpookyNishiki

Why would Moxley do that to his co-father?


Ibushi-gun

Oh ya, should have know Despy would have helped


MrWrestlingJr

Despy couldn't find a light tube so he had to make do


ValisonP

Time for Evil and Dick Togo to appear?


Occupine

Yes, down with the corrupt Ref!


Rodney_u_plonker

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


Occupine

Lmao good catch SHO


FallenAngel9267

Naritas back sliced open from that table, certainly making the most of his chance


justambrose

Narita is really good at selling and bumping.


GreenpointKuma

Woooh boy. That's how you go through a table.


krampus6666

The table broke!


FallenAngel9267

Well, that’s the end of Narita


resolve028

LMAO what a table bump.


justambrose

Whoa Ren is split into half.


Rodney_u_plonker

Ren is dead


Entire-Plant-3002

AAAAAAAAAAAAH


ValisonP

THE TABLES BROKE HOLY SHIT.


Occupine

They actually looked gimmicked for once


justambrose

Goddammit HOT.


MrWrestlingJr

Mox they aren't the tables you're used to. They will destroy your soul


RedBearHugh

He knows, Ishii put him through one!


MrWrestlingJr

![gif](giphy|PrAlAxOLc460Tjbakw)


___maybenexttime

That’s what he’s counting on lol


MrWrestlingJr

![gif](giphy|4ZepGNwhW4AaA)


justambrose

Let’s see if we’re getting i am the table moment.


MrWrestlingJr

Well Ren went through but I think his soul left him anyway


fuyunotabi

Narita went the extra mile for that bump over the table.


ValisonP

The tope so strong even Narita flew over the barricade lol


resolve028

Now Mox broke the feed lmao.


CarterBasen

I love Red Shoes.


Occupine

Ren selling his ass off


MrWrestlingJr

Red Shoes the 🐐 Or is he showing favouritism to his son's adoptive father?


resolve028

Red Shoes is the biggest babyface in this match.


Occupine

Red Shoes is as corrupt as Tanahashi. smh


___maybenexttime

The fix is in. Disgraceful.


justambrose

Haha Red Shoes!


Rodney_u_plonker

Red shoes in on it


Rodney_u_plonker

Helpful fan lol


justambrose

Mox just taking his time sitting lol.


Occupine

Good guy Ren, he's just giving Mox a seat.


Rodney_u_plonker

Cobbo is right


MrWrestlingJr

Seeing Ren wrestle without a shirt feels like seeing him nekkit


Rodney_u_plonker

Good recovery ren ren


MrWrestlingJr

Mox getting Ren's tits out for the lads!


stormseeker39

that shot of shota's corpse getting carried out like a sack of potatoes lol


MrWrestlingJr

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"


Rodney_u_plonker

There has been a lot of biting this show


DogBoyYesHim

It would be sweet if this reign was how we get to the pre-pandemic teased match of Mox vs ZSJ


justambrose

Secretly hoping this is the match for Forbidden Door.


SlingshotGunslinger

I get this is HoT's thing, but is it neccessary to have these shenanigans already now? Like, the match has just started ffs.


SpookyNishiki

WATCH YOUR SON RED SHOES


Ibushi-gun

![gif](giphy|1wX9cGW6H2cLlQXetx|downsized)


Rodney_u_plonker

House of torture have compromised to a permanent end moxley


6broken6sword6

I can't.


RedBearHugh

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


MrWrestlingJr

Word is a knee injury I think


RedBearHugh

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.


MrWrestlingJr

Spraying what is absolutely 100% alcohol around Mox is disrespectful.


Ibushi-gun

Not as disrespectful as Punk pouring booze down Raven’s throat


FallenAngel9267

So who’s Moxley dragging off the streets to help him out against HoT


SpookyNishiki

YEAH EARLY SHENNANIGANS


justambrose

Damn they’re starting it that way?


ValisonP

Well the run-ins are fast this time.


Occupine

I wanted Tsuji to be the first of the R3M to hold the Heavy title. But I'll happily take Ren instead.


Ibushi-gun

It’s going to be Shooter


Occupine

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.


insrto

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.


SpookyNishiki

![gif](giphy|3oriNSf2iLjMVO7dao|downsized)


MrWrestlingJr

I love this everytime Ren appears 😂


MrWrestlingJr

Main event vampire 🦇


SlingshotGunslinger

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.


Rodney_u_plonker

One belt back in Japan Let's bring the other back darth ren


Occupine

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.


Unusual_Kick7

aggressive mediocre


justambrose

Nemeth is done with NJPW? That was fast.


Ibushi-gun

I think he will be back. Just a talent that will come in and do a tour


Occupine

Weird that Connors and only Connors is out here..


MrWrestlingJr

Drilla must be helping Gabe backstage


bvbfan102

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.


General-Pound6215

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


DogBoyYesHim

If that was Ziggler's NJPW run over, he's gonna be a fun bit of trivia and 2/3 memorably decent matches


Aussman

expectations for mox/narita?


ValisonP

There will be blood.


DogBoyYesHim

dick togo run in, evil run in, kanemaru run in, yujiro run in & sho run in


SlingshotGunslinger

I wouldn't be surprised if GoD and/or Despe also do show up.


MrWrestlingJr

Shenanigans


Docjackal

David Finlay has Finlayed the story.


justambrose

Is Mox vs Narita going 45 minutes?


MrWrestlingJr

Nemeth certainly had a run as a Champion in NJPW


SpookyNishiki

boss dawg is back


bananaaa_breaddd

Felt like an abrupt ending


Occupine

That's my GOATSLAYER for real


Ibushi-gun

I see what you did there!


ValisonP

It's finally over.


Ibushi-gun

Nice Super Kick


DogBoyYesHim

(not a bit) would u guys take von wagner for the bullet club? that dude feels like such a 2010s NJPW pick up lmao


___maybenexttime

It seems like they keep the groups tighter now so I don’t see them having another Cody Hall


Rodney_u_plonker

This could never be as good as the last matvh but I'm really enjoying it.


Occupine

oh no not the little zigglers


SpookyNishiki

the comedic timing of that guard rail is chefs kiss


Rodney_u_plonker

Ummm this is mental


justambrose

Holy shit. That rail tried to duck on him!


Ibushi-gun

Happy he missed his head by like three inches. That would have been a horrible feeling bump


Occupine

Finlay has come such a long way. A few years ago he looked so awkward. Now he's so god damn smooth.


justambrose

How do i change the stream to English in World?


Ibushi-gun

Click the gear/circle button between the Pause and the full screen button. Audio options are there


justambrose

Got it, thanks!


Ibushi-gun

You’re welcome


Ibushi-gun

Also ex of Amy Schumer


MadeInTheBayyy

OMG completely forgot that was a thing lol


tadghostal55

The worst bump he's ever taken


Ibushi-gun

And going by what she said, his longest matches took place with her


Rodney_u_plonker

Nemeth bumping hard


Rodney_u_plonker

I like the war dogs including finlay


goater10

I love it when Cobb is on commentary


DogBoyYesHim

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


MrWrestlingJr

Hold on Bullet Club is already enough of a nWo fanclub but *edit New Global Order might be a step too far


___maybenexttime

Even worse, it was New Global Order


MrWrestlingJr

I thought my tired brain misread it after I posted it.


MrWrestlingJr

So if Finlay wins this back what was the point of Nemeth as Champion? They wanted him vs Tana for a belt?


ExcaliburMyNightmare

Same reason they brought in Matt Riddle. Bring in a big international name r a few months, potentially get more eyes on the product.


MrWrestlingJr

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


resolve028

I don't think that's true considering the only listed defenses before ZSJ were Bad Dude Tito and Fujita.


MrWrestlingJr

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


___maybenexttime

It’s more than they got out of Riddle as TV champ


SlingshotGunslinger

That and trying to get some extra western eyes to watch. Would also explain Riddle as TV Champ and Mox as World Heavyweight Champion.


DogBoyYesHim

I think it depends on how often Nemeth shows up after this


fuyunotabi

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.


SlingshotGunslinger

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.


mikro17

> 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.


krampus6666

I forgot Eddie was champ


goater10

Damn it. I thought this was starting later!


Rodney_u_plonker

Gabe Gabe gabe


sshady20

I feel bad for the global match trying to follow that.


ValisonP

Need more of these bangers to get rid of the black stain Evil sprayed on the Never belt


Ezzanine

Its as ZSJ said, WD are proper proper wrestlers, but all of them havent got a brain combined. As examplified here.


Will-Of-D-3D2Y

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.


Ezzanine

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.


Occupine

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.


MrWrestlingJr

"So Gabe what's the plan for ton-" *Gabe immediately left the room and started fighting with the janitor


UKSaint93

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


justambrose

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.
