Listen, I like Newman. But if a fella like me were there, I'd have snitched on his chairshot tease to Ospreay immediately. I'm just built differently.

I would not be mad if NJPW pivoted Yota Tsuji's first title defense against Andrade instead of Jake Lee, I'll just say that right now.

Rocky Romero looked like one of those Little Debbie Chocolate Cupcakes in the previous match.
SANADA in the Bishamon/Oleg Boltin match looked like he was caught by the trawlers that almost caught Nemo and that massive school of fish in Finding Nemo.

Upon revisiting this, I'm confident in this November piece.
Cena's year wasn't the worst it could've been, but far from desirable. Tana's was as perfect to me as it could've been. Loved both of their final matches.
