Watched the 2nd round of the NJPW Cup. First of all, MVP looks slow and besides a few more snug moves, is more or less doing the same stuff he did in WWE four or five years ago. Has his overall run in Japan been better than I'm giving him credit for?
I lol'd at the fans chanting "AND-ER-SON" for Karl in his match with Nakamura was a good one.
Goto over Sombra. Makabe over Suzuki and Tanahashi over Naito. The Tanahashi/Naito match was a mix of mat based stuff early and then more aerial stuff late. Does Tanahashi always go for a million frog splash's in his matches? I counted 5, he missed at least 2 of them lol. I was pulling for Naito after his great match with Kojima in the first round, but he took the fall.
So it's Tanahashi, Goto, Makabe and Anderson in the semis from yesterday. Waiting for them to pop up.
BTW, who is the Tiger Mask going in NJPW now? He was delivering some hard as hell kicks in a six man on the show while Takayama looks sooooo old he can barely move.
