Oh I hate sitting next to fans like that lmao

I do polite “tennis claps” at mma fights, I’m guessing I’d do same at wrestling lol

Oh I hate sitting next to fans like that lmao

There were so many instances of us looking at each other and shaking our heads or rolling our eyes. During Judas, the guy behind us screamed "NOPE IM NOT DOING IT, IM NOT SINGING IT! YOURE NOT GONNA GET ME!!" Refusing to do the YES chant, but making sure to scream about how you're gonna do the NO instead

Before the show even started, he yelled ADAM COLE BAY BAY right into my ear so I did the stick my finger in my ear and rub it around because I'm deaf now motion.

And then! To top it all off, towards the end he spotted a Give This an Up Simon sign and then criticized either Simon or the guy holding the sign saying he hates people like that because they are only trying to ge seen to get themselves over. I turned to Summer and said "you've gotta be joking".... the couple next to us were really nice though. I exchanged a few pleasantries, and even asked where they came from for this. Thats big for us.

Its not as bad as it sounds

It was pretty gosh darn great. The crowd, myself included, seemed pretty exhausted by the end of it. We tried making noise for the main event but it definitely wasnt as raucous as earlier, and the botch on Sting was pretty concerning.

The BCC came out about 15 feet in front of me. Takeshita gave my section the up yours as he was leaving.

Police went into the stands towards the end of the event and arrested two people. I have no idea why. It didnt seem like anything was done, and again, that was when things seemed quiet.

In order of hottest matches, Kenny/Ospreay was insanity, the 4 way was very entertaining, and the Punk/Kojima match was fun. Punk was way more hated last night than at Collision.

Any questions?

Glad uy had fun dawg

 

[Max Power]

Just finished Forbidden Door. Very good show! Thoroughly entertaining stuff.

MJF vs Tanahashi was better than I ever thought it would be. Lotta smoke and mirrors, but they did it!

Punk vs Kojima was fantastic. Crowd were electric!

International title match was good. A fun match.

NJPW title match was OK. Finish was mighty surprising to me. A Litasault??? OK.
BAH GAWD JACK, etc. Taz reacted perfectly. Can Jack pull it off? Remains to be seen.

10 man tag was fine. I was pleasantly surprised by of all people - Ishii. Dude can actually move when he wants to.

Women's title match was good. I would pay extra for an option to mute Saraya's audio.

Ospreay vs Omega. My word. Incredible. Stole the show and then some. The foot on the rope near fall got me. Monster pop.
I have to mention my one complaint - please for the love of god never do that Tiger Driver move ever ever ever again.

6 man was there. Stuck in the death spot. It was what it was. Forgot who won.

Main event. The fans tried it seemed to will it to all-timer status, but they hadn't recovered from the US title match. It was fine.
I don't even wanna know how much Final Countdown cost lol. Popped for it tho!

Just so you know, Max. I always read your reviews.

 

[Sycho Sid]

I'm so glad I didn't pay for this show last night like I was thinking about.

Not because it doesn't sound awesome, but because we had a surprise storm and I had no power all night or morning and I still have no fucking internet. I Hate everything

 

[Max Power]

I do try to make them as easy as possible for those who might!

Heel Punk about to put everyone on notice

 

[Based God]

. A Litasault??? OK.

Bruh

SANADA was trained by The Great Muta and does Muta's moonsault as a tribute.

Why would Lita be the first person you think of when you see a moonsault? lol

Because it looked like one of hers, perhaps slightly more graceful.

Late to the Forbidden Door discussion, also had some problems because of a storm. The 2 matches we all wanted to be great were great, overall a fun batch of matches as expected. KO and WO delivered big time.

Couldve had someone else take Jungle Boys spot and let him turn on TV. Hopefully Christian starts bothering him again from afar like a devil on his shoulder.
