Broadcast live Njpwworld.com
The people were about 4,500; The lower deck was about a mucus. LIVE I participated in this show – the main highway through Chicago was a disaster for driving. Thus, Walker Stewart and Veda Scott could see if he commented on the audience.
Wintrust Arena is a fairly new built in 2017. DePaul is a home for men and women’s basketball and is a beautiful place for NJPW and AEW. This is only zero parking in this building.
1. Zane Jay vs CJ Tino, in a match pre-show. I saw Zane for the first time, he reminded him of a young Jack Evans. He wrestled in the show last year, almost a year ago. This is extremely used, so I avoid this, but it’s true here – Zane put 20-30 pound muscles in the last year. He trains in Japan’s Dojo and wore flat black young lion sticks. When I looked at the CJ Tinoy, my initial reaction was like a 5’9 “time of Duke Hudson … Thus, the Tino match is dominant. In the end, Zane put him in Boston Crab and Tino.
Zane Jay defeated CJ Tinoya at 8:58.
* Zane reached the microphone and returned to Japan here that he refused a hood or cup caught by cadets here, he said.
2. Tom Lawlor Vs. TJP. I am a great fan of both boys, and they kept on the floor and worked each other’s arms. The belt puts Jean’s shorts with hanging; I just hate this look. In the end, the Mamba splash for TJP PIN (splashing the frog). Good opening in the main show.
TJP beat Tom Lawlori at 12:00.
3. Mine shelter vs. azm. This crowd was hot and divided for both women. They worked faster than the previous match, and the AZM applied two goldbars behind AZM, but in AZM reached the ropes on 10:00, and two were rolled to the ground. In the rings, they continued to punch each other and tried to go back to a ring, but I had a double number. The community was not happy with this ending. Really good action.
Mine Shirakawa vs. AZM went to a double number in 11:42.
4. “Western Coast Disking Crews” Royce Isaacs and Jorel Nelson vs Jorel Nelson vs. Jorel Nelson vs. “Kevin Knight in Kushida and Kushi, New Japan for powerful label team headlines. I didn’t really remember that WCWC was until it was going to wear these belts. Knight hit a Dropkick a little later after hitting a cool jump Frankensteiner in the corner, and a rival was on the shoulders of Kushida. In the end, Royce, Kushi, then hit a German asplex, a low blow for the ridiculed pin.
Royce Ishacs and Jorel Nelson, Kushida and Kevin Knight defeated the new Japanese powerful label team to save the headers to 11:04.
5. Gabe Kidd Vs Tomohiro Ishii, in a 30-minute Demirming match. I will add that my stopwatch was often spotting (every five minutes), including the last time. They almost immediately launched a trade, and it was just going to go! Both men’s chests quickly turned into bright red. The guard was in the crowd (the only match of the night) and I was very close to me. In the ring, Ishii, about 14:30, I am sure that I am sure everyone is for the first time for a PIN! Kidd was, including the lawsuit, including the claim to urinate in ISHII and stood in Mehriban Hand Gestures and Oath.
Kidd hit a POWERBOMBOUND to get a pin at 22:50 to take a 1-0 lead. However, Ishii came out of a passage and Kidd was found in 27: 56! So now we were up to the last two minutes. Kidd was rolled to the ground in 29:50! He chose not to fight with a call, he was pleased to have a draw! He was escalated at 30:00 and started the kiddin. However, ref encouraged the sudden death of this match! Kidd was disappointed. He found a britisher and hit the nuts for the pin and the crowd gained a great win. It is difficult to believe that the match is so long and it flowed so well and never dragged.
Tomohiro Ishii defeated Gabe Kiddin more than a blacksmith match at 34:06.
6. “Japon’s power” Tetsuya Naito and Titan vs Rocky Romero and El Phantazm. Rocky and titanium, perhaps the best part of the match was opened by the fast and angry lucha exchange. Naito and ELP have made a good exchange. Rocky and ELP had a number of funny exchanges with friendly disputes in connection with which team. Titan, Rocky’s rope on the chest of Rocky for PIN. This finish went out of anywhere. There is no bad match, but I would say that this is the least I love the night.
Tetsuya Naito defeated Naito and Titan Rocky Romero and El Phantasmo 11: 0
7. David Finlay vs Zack Saber Jr. These two met in the semifinals of the New Japanese Cup winning Finlay. Zack has managed many movements and kept the mat. He took fuel on 14:00, where Refin Ali hit the Mat, but he caught two fingers, but the consciousness of the crowd, “It was three!” Finlay went for excessive wear (chest pop-up knees on the chest), but Saber closed it and immediately hit a zack driver for the PIN. It was very good, but the new Japan Cup match was not as good as the match, it was mainly no share in the line. However, after a rare loss, he wins immediately.
Zack Saber Jr. David defeated Finlay on 15:20.
8. Hirooki Goto vs Shota Umino, IWGP for the World Severe Championship. Quite basic movement in the first 12th minute; The crowd followed, but most of the other matches were not vocals. However, they threw the second gear to the ground, Shota hit a little working knees and the purchase of some relatives. The community liked goto. Goto applied a hammer behind Shota and tap GTR slam for PIN. Really strong to the last six to eight minutes. He said that no one was feeling that no one won here.
Hirookioti Goto defeated Shota Umino to protect the IWGP world heavy championship in 19: 59.
9. Conosuke Takeshita vs Hiroshi Tanahashi, for the outdoor title ever. Of course, this show was calculated as a recent match in Tanahashi’s US, and this show is one of the reasons for the long track. Early, the conosuke came out of the ropes and jammed the knees. Tanahashi saw it and immediately hit some dragphones in the knees and Dragonscrew draghips. The crowd went nuts when hitting the high flight flow (frog) for the follow-up. Takeshita hit a few tough worked knees, then a meteora double knee and Tanahashi was clearly defenseless. Takeshita postponed a few seconds, but then the angry fire for the PIN (Falcon axis) hit the nail. I will have a more pleasant game in Tanahasi in 2025.
Konosuke Takeshita, Hiroshi Tanahashi’yi defeated to protect the outdoor weight title at 20:36.
Last Thoughts: Yes, I regret zero to present for this show. The work-kid was very large; It was a difficult shot and fun. Both men will have splotchy red chests on Saturday morning. Takeshita vs Tanahashi really won a second and easily a second. I will go with the Finlay-Saber for the third. It’s not a bad match here.
