I legit beg of thee please can you do prompt17. "Why the fuck did you have to make me fall in love with you" but like he's infected with some toxin from a mission and is genuinely angry at reader for making him fall in love with her, but like they're not together she's just his oblivious best friend and this is how you find out he's in love with you. I just find this hilarious cuz reader being overjoyed like oh shit he loves me but also like hey dude calm down lol Its also a tinge angsty cuz he's tiny self esteem thinks you could never love him back and thats why he's mad

Jason Todd x Reader

"Why the fuck did you have to make me fall in love with you"

You love Jason Todd. And for a long while, you believed it was a platonic type of friendship. Because you loved the way he laughed, his smile, his combat skills, his snarky remarks.

And then an oh shit hit you harder than a bomb. Not only did you love Jason Todd, but you were in love with him.

You joined the Titans a couple of months or so after he officially did. He offered you a brew the first time you met, and you politely declined but thanked him for the offer. This is where Jason immediately took interest in you.

When him, you, Rachel, and Gar were doing that blindfold sparring thay Dick recommended, he was even more intrigued at your skill level, but you weren't as skilled as he was, and ultimately lost the sparring match.

You were mesmerised by his advanced ability, asking him if he could teach you some tricks.

Boy, did this boost his ego.

And then the two of you became best friends. You guys trained together, played video games together, and listened to music together. Sometimes, he'd read lines from his favourite novels to you, ranting how dumb one character was or how stragetic another was.

Eventually, Jason took you to the school that he took refuge in during the time he was living on the streets. He told you his story before he got adopted, telling you his mom was a drug addict, his dad was abusive.

You listened, and you comforted him.

Then he told you how he admired the other kids for performing on stage. That's when he became so passionate for literature.

You joked with him, saying that you couldn't believe his biggest secret was being a theatre nerd. He quickly answered back that they were called 'thespians'.

That's probably the exact time you fell in love. Even after all the pain and neglet he's been put through, he still managed to become the strongest person you've ever met.

When you thanked him for showing you his school, that you appreciated how much he trusts you, you swore you saw a glimmer in his eye, even when he tells you it was no big deal.

Jason means so much to you. That's why you'd never tell him you love him. You think you'd break into a million shattered pieces if he left you because of your devoted but selfish feelings towards him. So you kept your feelings tucked away at the back of your heart, concealed from him.

Jason means so much to you that when he arrived back from what yoh heard was a dangerous mission, you instantly ran up to him, pulling him in a tight embrace, mumbling that you thought you lost him.

And it broke you when his response to your worry was a harsh shove.

He didn't say anything and walked straight to his room. He looked horrible. There was a bruise forming around his eye, dried blood under his nose, dark bags under his eyes and a busted lip.

You quickly turned to Dick, who just came in, confused at Jason's glum behaviour.

"Crane ambushed out of nowhere. Cooked up a new toxin. Anger. We gave Jason the antidote for fear toxin, but it doesn't do much. It should wear off after a couple of hours," Dick tries to assure you, but to no avail.

You pace around your room, biting your nails in worry. You look at the clock, and only 15 minutes have passed, and at this point, you feel like pulling your hair out from how stressed you were.

Jason slammed his door so hard when he went into his room that you felt like it could've broke.

Jason hasn't stepped a foot out in those past 15 minutes, and though you might think it hasn't even been that long yet, you couldn't help but stress and worry for your best friend.

So, you went out of your room, heading straight to his, knocking on the door waiting for an answer.

A depressed looking Jason opened the door slightly, and before you can say anything, he slams it shut.

You wanted to cry. He's never done this before. When he has issues, he always talks to you about them. You think that the anger toxin might've been the reason, but still. You aren't taking a toxin for bullshit, so you let yourself into his room, locking the door behind you to ensure no interruptions.

"Jason, what the hell happened? Talk to me!" You pleaded, trying to take both his hands in yours for comfort. In response, he swiftly pulls away from your touch.

"It's none of your goddamn business! Leave me the fuck alone," he says. He doesn't yell at you, but he sounds annoyed. He turns and walks towards his vinyls, pretending to sort them out, but just meaninglessly flipping through them.

"No, it is my goddamn business because you're my best friend! Why are you even pissed at me? It's not like you have a reason to!" you answer back.

"Says fucking who?" He spits as his voice slightly raises. You didn't want it to, but it slightly scares you. Jason has never acted like this towards you before. And if he is pissed at you for something, what was it?

Stealing the last pudding cup? Accidentally dropping his last beer? Winning the last sparring match against him?

"Okay, tough guy, what the fuck did I do to make you so pissed off!" You yelled back.

"For being so fucking annoying!"

What?

He thought you were annoying? Did he not like being friends with you? Did he regret being friends with you? You guess you are a bit too clongy at times. Or maybe you just talk too much.

Possible reasons start flooding your mind. The one person you loved and was your best friend was so angry at you because you were annoying.

"What?" Was all you can say, and it was heard as a tiny, pathetic squeak in your voice.

"You! You wanna know why I'm so angry?? Because you're so goddamn annoying! The way you smiled so brightly when you beat me in sparring, the way your nose scrunches up when you decipher a code wrong, the way you keep notes on everyone's birthdays on your calendar, the way you compliment me when I'm training you! All of it! It pisses me the fuck off!" He yells. You swear you can see tears at the brim of his eyes. "And the most annoying thing is how perfect you are! You- You're so beautiful and so skilled, and you deserve so much! And I can't give you what you deserve!"

But you stand confused. What the hell was he on about?

Jason rubs his forhead in frustration.

"Why the fuck did you have to make me fall in love with you," he says, way more quietly in contrast to his rant. But his voice breaks. And a single tear falls from his eye.

You couldn't believe what he had just told you. He loves you? He's... in love with you??

You were about to smile and admit your reciprocating feelings, but to Jason, your confused look on your face was disgust towards his undying emotions.

He wipes his cheek, face scrunching up, and his anger rises once more.

"No. No, no. I don't- I can't do this right now. You can kick me to the curb later, just- just get out!" He starts yelling again, stepping towards you, pointing to the door.

You attempt to calm him down, but he continues his string of get outs and leave me alones.

You didn't even notice that he unlocked the door and pushed you out before slamming the door in your face once more. You wanted to feel happy that he felt the same towards you. But he just looked so... hurt.

You decided you shouldn't continue to push. You knew he'd come talk to you later once he calmed down, so you go back into your room, waiting for his arrival.

It was late. Last time you checked your phone, it was 2:37am. You don't know how long it's been since then. Jason still hasn't come to see you.

You had your headphones on, writing notes in your journal for future training sessions and abstract plans for upcoming missions that may help Dick during debriefings.

You didn't hear the light knocks on your door, but saw a figure from your peripheral view walking towards you. When you look up, you see a dejected Jason Todd now in front of you.

He sits down on the edge of you bed as you quickly removed your headphones, storing away your jojrnal, ready to listen to him.

Jason couldn't look at you. "I'm sorry," he says. He thinks it's pathetic. Confessing his feelings because of some stupid toxin. Now he has to apologise, and he pressumes after this, you'd look at your friendship differently.

"It was selfish of me to tell you that I... That I lov-" He was quickly interrupted by you. You crawled along the bed to him, kneeling beside him, taking his chin to move his face so you can see those gorgeous green eyes you always adored. They were red and glassy. For the past few hours, he had been crying, even after the toxin had decreased. But you lay your lips ever so gently on his, and he couldn't believe what you were doing.

It took him a second to respond, but he happily kissed back, reaching forward, wanting more as you pulled away.

"You have no idea how much I love you, Jay," you say, barely above a whisper. His eyes widen.

"What? What, but I.." he sat there speechless. Was this real? Or was this the after effects of the toxin? "But.. But I've been dropping so many hints that I was so interested in you and... and you just seemed to have ignored it all," he quietly says. He thinks he whimpering like a kicked puppy.

"Literally, what hints?" You ask, dumbfounded.

"Are you serious? I've- I've called you babe multiple times, hinted at a date, gave you a flower," he lists the many times he had shown a liking to you. "I offered to teach you some combat skills- I keep those skills sacred, I've never taught anyone! Even Gar was yelling at me because I wouldn't teach him!" Jason says unbelievably.

Your hmfave heats up with embarrassment. "Well.. I never really said that observational skills were my strong suit," you weakly say, looking down, avoiding his gaze. And Jason couldn't helo but laugh a bit. He just found you so cute.

He takes hold of your waist, and you squeal as he shifts you so you're sitting on his lap.

"So.. You love me?" He asks, a cheeky grin on his face.

You roll your eyes and scoff. "God, you and your ego," you mutter, holding his face in your hands as you and him share one last kiss for the night.

I’m gonna respond to the most recent one first baby. Meaning what you just said❤️‍🔥 I know you shouldn’t.. but. Idk. Obviously I’m lovey. N cuddling and hugs and such are flirty n lovey. But also. I am your friend too! You’re someone I care about. So. I know it doesn’t change things. But. I just want you happy n safe and loved. And I’m sure you are! Even thru the bad. For example we had bad times. And. Looking back then. Maybe you would feel how you feel about current partner about me. Like. Idk. It’s hard to be with someone every single day. Like Ben n chase. Love em to death. Irritate the shit outta me sometimes. But I know I do too. It’s just like. Everyone is so different it’s so hard to live with someone else’s routines n habits especially if they effect your own. And like. Not trying to be negative about us. I know good n bad come with everything. But like. I’m not sure if you would consider our bad times as bad as your current partners. Not that I want you to answer that cuz that’s a big thing to compare. Plus all people are different. Anyways. I may seem like an angel and lovely etc. just compared to your current partner. (Maybe just now idk about the soo the time) anyways. What I’m saying is. Yoh left for a variety of reasons. And even tho I know it was hard on us both. I Definitely know we were having a rough time. But. That’s also bcuz we had been together day after day. And that’s why it’s nice to live alone sometimes. It’s sucks. Bcuz. I dont wanna be alone. But I wanna be alone 😂 I feel like that’s such a reality. At least for me. I’d love to be back living alone but also thinking about it I dont. It’s nice to have silly interactions with other people. Walking out of my room just to flip chase off then go back. It’s just silly stuff. Rambling!!

My main point of all that was. It makes me immensely happy the things your saying. And yes. Maybe you shouldn’t say it. But. Idk. Your mental state is more important. Which is selfish to say but also. Legit! If your not happy n sad and all the other stuff I skimmed (and will read eventually) then you deserve some form or dopamine relief. And im sorry that it has to be me! (That’s me being silly. I’m sure you could get by without me. In fact I know it. Bcuz that’s life. We live and roll with the punches!) (And your strong, cool, great personality, lovey and caring. Truthfully baby! I’m sure you could be anyones perfect princess! You just need a king who deserves all your amazing ness!)

Rambles! Goodness! (Don’t feel like your rambles make me ramble. You know even when you don’t say anything I can go on! You saying stuff just makes it easier for me to say things bcuz I can just respond to you 🙈)

But. Yes. The past and rose tinted glass. I kinda went into the past talking about living alone n such. But like I know how you feel. Like. Maybe the way you’ve been feeling and so on is making it easier to imagine what it would be like if we were still hanging and enjoying each other’s company. It might cloud the arguments and other bad times (not trying to be negative just trying to say that. Partner maybe be meh rn. And it may be easier to enjoy the thought of me. Bcuz! I’m not there. Yanno? Like truthfully we won’t know unless that day comes but. It’s also possible that. In a timeline that we’re still together / get back together that we’d resort back to negative feelings. But at the same time. I loved you then. I love you now and I always will. I just enjoy making you happy. And knowing your happy and well. I’m just a lovey person. And you’re my princess! Blah blah blah ramblinggg!

Gonna flip to the frito thing bcuz I’ve rambled a lot here. I feel it baby. Wanting to go back to what we once did. Like I’d love to be back at my old FedEx. 10x better than this one. But also. Then I wouldnt be here. And for you like your strong but also any physical job has it’s negative effects on the body. So. Im glad your not doing that. But also do what you want! I just didn’t like that job for you only bcuz your manager or whatever. That dude was an unreasonable person. Not really but like. He was way to high strung n picky. Just a person who stressed people out. (Idk if I mentioned but every so often I see a frito lay box being shipped at FedEx and I think of you💘)

I’m sorry I put this at the bottom but I wanted to save the best for last 🙈😘

My H. Absolutely :,0) you know you’d wouldn’t even have to ask🙈 you could walk thru my door rn. I’d squeeze you then hold you in my arms in my bed. Squeezing each other under blankets (although onto your other question. It is warm! It’s currently 78 degrees here! So! I sometimes forget that it’s just now March! So other colder states. Are. Cold!!!) My poor chilly baby! Please! We gotta keep you warm 🥺💘 that’s right. Warmth! Sooo! Come take a nap with me. It would be so blissful. We can just sleep and feel the safe presence of each other ❤️‍🔥

This post is long! So! Enjoy your reading 🙈 I know you won’t mind anyways but imma still say this. I probably will nap here soon so I may respond to the rest when I wake up later. But of course I’ll be able to respond even if you need to delete. Normally once you post I hold onto it just so you can get rid of things if need be.. I hope that’s okay. Anyways! Ending this with!

Nap with me princess. Just sleep. And maybe cuddling 🥺🥰. I. Love. You. H. Promise I’ll respond sometime soon. I’m sure before the weekend if not during I’ll have responded to everything you’ve said (unless you say more 😉🙈) but of course. You never have to! But also. You’re just ranting sometimes 🥺 the point of the blog! I just happen to be responding to your thoughts 😖

Done! Now! I. Love you! Cutie💎

finished saya no uta 100% and yeah, my overall opinion got a little better, but in the end it still felt super fucking overrated. the whole thing really could use wayyyyyy more time developing its story because in the end, very few characters feel like theyw ere utilized well. the two protags are laughable with how boring it was to watch them, and for a game that puts love as one of its central ideas, it was a really bad romance.

even discarting the whole fetish side of it with saya's appearance, their love felt so rushed that it just didnt make me feel a thing! and it could be good! it would always be fucked up, but the game, again, rushed it so much it just didnt have time to breathe. things were told in the most dry way and if they only allowed it to be a slower burn it would work so much more. legit hated how much they wasted sayas character when she could be one of me most interesting one, and the protag is just a fucking boring ass guy. like he just sucks, and not in the fun fucked up way. he just sucks. i complained about mamiya but now i see how much fun i had reading him. this oen is just bad.

the game also treats its female characters very badly. like Yoh. just... no. just no. and omi. and fucking SAYA HER NAME IS IN THE TITLE COULDNT YOU AT LEAST TRY TO WRITE HER A LITTLE BIT MORE? SHE HAS SO MUCH FUN STUFF GOING FOR HER!! BUT NO

also they failed so fucking hard at making it sound animalistic?? because this could be a very interesting way of going for it since its literally an alien species but they went with this with such a wet fart way of writing that its just?? it just makes the writers sound stupid af. cortiço did everything this did better lol not good at all

ryoko, koji and ogai tho were excellent. ryoko is especially a REALLY interesting character and i adored watching her and koji's motivations and dynamics. i think that they nailed those three and this was the absolute highlight of the whole scrpt, but its a shame that we spend a solid 60% of the game with the boring couple bing boring and having the worst-written sex i have ever seen in my life

there were a few sentences that were really cool however and they NAILED cosmic horror really well, koji's ending is VERY impactful

TLDR: 3/10 very cool premise TERRIBLE execution. if you are curious i can recommend playing it but yeah its far less interesting that people make it out to be, ryoko/koji/ogai best characters just buy it when its 50% off

Hey gang, I get that Cap going back to the past was whack, but if I see anyone of you trickass oompa loompas disrespecting my girl Peggy Carter, Im gonna have to report you :/

[enderspawn]

fuck it bunny behavior love post but it’s specifically what I’ve picked up from my sister’s rabbit (a holland lop)

- rabbits will thump the ground and kick out their legs when they’re upset/mad. a lot of times it’s bc we picked her up when she didn’t want to be picked up, so when we put her down she runs away doing dramatic ass kicks out to show her displeasure

- I’ve VERY rarely ever heard it but uh. did y’all know rabbits make sounds. specifically, they can GROWL?? only happens when Real Pissed

- when happy rabbits will kinda zoom around or do fuckin flips and hops and shit. it’s called doing a “binky” or getting the “binkies”! Like dogs with the zoomies. very cute 10/10

- my sisters rabbit likes to return the favor when you pet her. She’ll often lick your hand back after, or even she got into a habit where my sister would pet/kiss her forehead then in return her bunny would kiss my sister’s forehead.

- bunny tongues are very warm and weirdly dry 9/10 when you’re used to it

- she likes to “dig” into the ground to try and get comfortable. except she’s usually digging on a solid cushion and it doesn’t work, or she ends up just fucking up her blanket in her cage then getting grumpy that her blanket is messed up

- holy shit rabbits, this fucker specifically, LOVE mischief. she’s not allowed in my or our parents bedrooms and we keep the doors closed when she’s around bc of it. she will try her fucking hardest to SNEAK INTO THE ROOMS. like try to stealth behind you or casually trail yoh when going towards the bedrooms so she can try and sprint after you and immediately dive under the bed

- she likes hanging out under the bed(s). tbh, I think part of it is bc we can’t reach her there which is fair

- if my sister has to drop her off at our house but can’t stay, her bunny will get upset that her owner isn’t around and will usually mope and hide under the bed for a few days (even with the bedroom door open for her to leave at any time. she just likes to pout it out)

- did you guys know you can take rabbits on walks

- the sweater is bc she would slip out of the harness otherwise, she’s a slippery bastard

- they’re more fluffy than they appear. when we got her as a baby, she managed to escape her cage by walking through the bars. we didn’t think she could bc she appeared larger than the gap… it was all fluff

- holy shit they shed CONSTANTLY. admittedly idk if that’s the ‘norm’, my sister’s rabbit has a little bit less flexibility than most due to a hip injury in the past so she’s usually got a lot of loose fur stuck to her butt she can’t reach that we have to help with. but like the moment her butt reaches the end of its shed the top starts again I swear

- she is so spoiled (affectionate). My sister accidentally got in the habit of giving her a bit of her apple whenever she’d eat one, so now if you try to have an apple around this bunny she will DEMAND you share. like sit directly on your chest trying to bite from the apple directly kind of demand.

- she likes to purposely antagonize our dog. like legit we’ve seen this bunny back up, get on her two legs to check the couch, reposition herself, then jump DIRECTLY onto our dog. I think it’s bc if anything we usually scold(ed) him for being aggressive towards her. point is she has gone out of her way to bother him and I think that’s very funny

- she loves chewing and biting on any type of cords. We’ve lost so many chargers to her. my sister lost the cord to her PRINTER from this bunny. She lost a whole LAMP. Also she likes to eat the printer paper too

[spade-snax]

Say hiya to Lezter "Masky" Sugarbell!! A new Grumpus OC who is made to be wild AF in terms of design on purpose and GOD I AM GLAD I DID THAT CAUSE THEY ARE GORGEROUS

I'll get a legit ref for them... Soon.....

But yoh I'm trying out thinner lineart for once bc currently I can kinda only do art with this brush and it looks nicer when it's thinner

I'm very happy with how this turned out :>

[pankowfruitsnacks]

Okay, first of all I have this JJ one that's gonna be frenemies to lovers type of deal where the reader ruins what could've been JJ's next conquest and obviously he's mad about it and she's like "What are you gonna do fuck me instead?" And from that I honestly don't have any clue of what direction is gonna take.

The second one is another JJ one and it's the third part of my mini series called "The Black Dahlia" where basically the heyward! reader is gonna be reckless and it's gonna be a bunch of fluff with them just enjoying and life and it's also gonna be the end that I won't talk about bc spoilers.

The third one is a Rudy Pankow one is the sequel to "I made you" and it's gonna be angsty and fluffy but mostly just the reader and him struggling with keeping their fake relationship believable until they are ready to announce their break up.

The fourth one is one that I don't think I'm gonna ever finish bc it's just nasty and filthy smut and there's nothing wrong with it or anything, I just can't bring myself to finish it for some reason, like, I feel dirty just by thinking about it, but idk maybe I'll change my mind. It's also JJ x reader.

The fifth one is also JJ's and it's complete enemies to lovers, I even made a playlist for it, it's so long and complicated and I love it. The kook! reader is dating another kook to help her dad with a business deal so the family doesn't go bankrupt, but obviously she's not happy, her dad didn't force her to do it, she willingly did it but still, it sucks. One day JJ finds the reader in an inconvenient situation that rises the tension between them, Pope and John are tired of their constant fighting and force them to solve it, where we find out they both have very valid reasons to hate the other but they're willing to overlook them because the sexual tension is too much. After that things get so much more complicated, from Kiara who's in her kook year finding out about their little affair, to a plot twist that it's not common.

The sixth one is Andrew! Peter Parker / college! Peter Parker x reader and bc I love it sm I'm gonna say as little as possible bc I am gonna post it soon. It's been six months since the reader left the apartment they lived in and things are the worst they've ever been, the dog they both adopted with the illusion of having a future together is just as miserable as Peter, one day the boy gets sick when he's supposed to walk their son and decides to call the reader who just so happens to be driving to where he is because she saw spiderman's last fight was in the rain and figured he wasn't feeling so well.

The seventh one is another Andrew! Peter Parker x reader and it's about the reader being really attracted to Peter and hating it, which is why she sets her mind to start investigating him to at least find one flaw she can rely on to use as excuse to convince herself she doesn't like him, there are just a few minor inconveniences with her plan: one, in order to really know Peter Parker she has to know Peter Parker and accept the consequences that come along like talking to him, talking to him and talking to him. Two, Peter has had a crush on her for quite sometime and her abruptly entering his life definitely doesn't help it.

And yeah... Those are my drafts

You’re a busy busy bee.

For the first one you could maybe combine it with the fourth so it could been more plot with a side of smut rather than straight filth. I’m such a sucker for enemies to lovers.

AND IM LEGIT SCREAMING BC I REMEMBER READING BLACK DAHLIA BEFORE WORK ON WATTPAD VIVIDLY. Like that’s one of the few pieces I remember reading and being like “i hope one day I could write like this” it really propelled me to try and do better with my writing. But I will put my foot down, yoh have to complete this asap. Don’t focus on anything else (except maybe, I made you.)

I have reread that one a million times. It’s beautifully written and I just love it.

The fifth one is putting me in a choke hold because the fact she willingly is in it makes sense. Kinda like the id do anything for family. And then contrast to JJ, he would do anything for his friends and they could definetly find some common ground on the principals.

I haven’t read too many Peter Parker fics but I’m for sure reading this. The way she still cared and they are both struggling. Sometimes people makes it seem so easy to move on but six months is where it’s for sure starting to feel real. It’s that time when you realize they are really gone and you start moving on. I just love this whole idea.

And we love a good detective. I’d definetly do something like this just to find a flaw.

Photos.

This was a really fun show that featured nothing but good matches, and a few excellent angles. TJP pinned Uemura to win an all-action Junior opener that was fun whilst it lasted (5:43), ELP hit the CRII on Rocky Romero to end a good doubles match, and SANADA got the pin on ZSJ with a Japanese Leg Clutch to win another really good 9 minute six man. The highlight of this were Shingo’s exchanges with Suzuki, who also had a brawl in the post match. I’m very much game for that singles programme, Archer called out David Finlay for a US Title match in San Jose on November 9th, and Zack locked the referee in a kimura. Tanahashi and YOSHI-HASHI had a fantastic exchange in their tag match, which brought the maych up from what would normaly have been just a match. Tana got the pin on YH with the High Fly Flow at 10:51. Again, the post match here was most notable; Chris Jericho appeared on the big screen and challenged Tanahashi to a match on night 2 of WK14 on January 5th. Tana accepted. And Naito got win back against Taichi after losing to him in the G1. This was much better than that match, but this was very good, not great. Saying that though, it was the best match they’ve had in my opinion, as it was just a straight singles outing as opposed to the chicanery filled nonsense of their previous outings. It started fairly slow, but built into a good closing stretch. Naito finally got the win with Destino at the 12:56 mark. It was inferred that Naito is getting an IC Title match at WK14. Now, if you ask me, Naito, though still popular, has cooled off exponentially this year, and he just doesn’t feel like one of the top guys at this stage. But hey ho.

The Roppongi 3K team of SHO and YOH won the Super J Tag League, when they defeated the Suzuki-gun team of Desperado and Kanemaru in an excellent, old school tag match. This told the old Young Bucks/RPG Vice story, in which SHO was dumped on the ramp iat the very start, selling his back, and YOH had to go it alone for a while, until SHO returned with the hot tag. Despy locked him in his Numero Dos Stretch Muffler submission, which built great drama as it seemed as though SHO would have to submit, but YOH managed to break it before he could tap. SHO and Desperado had a great exchange, before the Roppongi boys hit 3K on the masked man to win the match and the tournament at 14:13. The IWGP Jr Tag Champions, Phantasmo and Ishimori, laid them out with belt shots in the post match, then took off with the trophies. KENTA and Ishii had an absolute war for the NEVER title next. This was profoundly hard-hitting stuff, with both guys killing each other with hard strikes. KENTA devastated Ishii with super hard slaps, and the Stone Pitbull kept firing back with just as hard forearms, after one of which, KENTA did a fantastic job of selling being legit KO’d, which played nicely off what happened in their match in London. This too was devoid of the shenanigans we’ve come to expect from a modern day Bullet Club KENTA match, and was just two guys swinging for the fences. After KENTA escaped a Brainbuster attempt, he rocked Ishii with a series of Busaiku Knees, then nailed two Go 2 Sleep’s to retain the title in 20 minutes of hard-hitting action. If I have one complaint, its that this maybe went a little long, and all the punishment these guys took felt like overkill at times, but that aside, this was great stuff.

And in the best match of the night, Will Ospreay succesfully defended the Jr title against BUSHI in a tremendous outing, that also ranks as probably the best singles match I’ve ever seen BUSHI in. This one had a load of shenanigans, but they were done in such a creative manner that they actually helped to enhance the match. Things got chaotic after a ref bump, BUSHI tried to blow the Dokukiri at Ospreay, but Will cut him off, then sucked the mist out of BUSHI’s mouth, and blew it in his face. He then tried an Oscutter, but BUSHI pulled Red Shoes in the way, and delivered the move to the refferee. BUSHI gets his knees up on a Shooting Star attempt, then finally mists Ospreay, and hits a Canadian Destroyer as a new ref comes in for a near fall. The masked man tries MX, but Ospreay hits a head kick in mid air for the double down. BUSHI counters Storm Breaker into the BUSHI ROLL for a believable near fall, then he hits MX for another great near fall which had the crowd going crazy. He goes for another MX but Will catches him in an Oscutter, hits Hidden Blade, the top rope Oscutter, and finally Storm Breaker to win at the 16:20 mark of an exceptional wrestling outing. Once again, the post match here was significant; Ospreay gets the mic and says that he’s beaten everyone in the Junior division, there’s no one left for him to beat, then the lights went out and a Time Bomb video played, which brought out the returning Hiromu Takahashi, who has been out with a broken neck since July of 2018. He charges down to the ring, gives the commentators stuffed cats, then takes a bump into the barricade for no reason. He eneters the ring, thanks the fans for waiting for him, and tells Ospreay that he’s ready and wants the belt. He takes a back bump and rolls into a bridge, from where he cut the rest of his promo as Ospreay holds the mic for him, and challenges Ospreay to a title match on January 4th. Ospreay accepts, then Hiromu licks the belt, hugs Ospreay, and leaves. This was tremendous.

This left the main event with a lot to follow. Typical to form with these guys, they had a great, hard-hitting match, but it couldn’t really follow the stuff that preceeded it. The match went 27:40, which was much too long, especially as no one believed Goto winning this, despite scoring some great near falls. He hit the reverse GTR, then a Shouten Kai for a tremendous near fall (it works every time, even though he hasn’t won a match with it in three years), which lead into the token White counter exchange, which is always incredible, culminating in him hitting Aramusha with the Sleeper Suplex. Goto however, pops up and hits the GTW (the Ushigoroshi into a Final Cut), then follows with GTR, but Gedo pulls the ref out. This causes Katsuyori Shibata, who was providing commentary at ringside, to jump in and lay Gedo out with kicks, and locking in a sleeper. This brought out KENTA, who kicked Shibata off the apron, hit the Go 2 Sleep on Goto, then tossed Shibata into the barricade and nailed a few chest kicks. This allowed White to recover and hit Blade Runner to successfully defend his title. White cut a promo in the post match, caling out Okada and Ibushi, saying he’ll face the winner on January 5th, but instead out came Naito. White says he’s isn’t defending against Naito, and out comes Ibushi. All three vow to be the first double champion. They call out Okada, who eventually shows up, and asks them what the hell they’re all talking about. He has the most prestigeous belt in the company, why would he want the secondary title? He proposes there be a fan vote (a hark back to the controversial issue with the WK8 main event) to solve this issue, then White tells them all to “fuck off” as this is his moment, and he celebrates his win. All in all, this was a great show that more than over-delivered on its potential. Every match was at least good, at least four where excellent, and the angles were very memorable indeed, so its a thumbs up from me.

[whimsically-ominously-auspice]

So this woman today she stopped to talk to me.

She was older like... Idk probably 10 to 20 years older than me... Real nice ... Like a maternal type... Kinda hippy way of speaking.

And She knew why I was in that particular place. Not because my car stalled out but exactly why not the physical issues the csr had but my spiritually physical reason to be there.

And she was like praying, i mean she even put her hands together just like a prayer... And so.. You know --flat palms together. Some people fold their fingers over but she didn't.

As she was talking and praying my car doors unlocked.

And she told me to make sure that I keep them locked...

And i thought it was weird cause my car doors unlock when my car is off and i open the doors. I did open my door to check what my muffler was doing cause it was either heat vapor in the cold or smoke...

But my car was on So all the other doors should had remained locked...

So i started pushing the lock button on my dash.. And she decided to drive off... After I noticed my battery was completely dead.

I was not happy about that and i didn't see a reason that it would occur cause ill smoke in my car and all that with the radio on and stuff.... And i never did have a problem like that...

I tried to start the car again a few times and the battery after sitting a minute came back strong as Hell.

I had a feeling the woman had busted down my car...

So if she was on my side and God's side then yes she could had made the situation worse.

It was temporary and i had no more battery issues after it returned.

So I heard about these two friends..

Well it was a memory and we will call one Bill, he said that he wanted to pretend punch me in the face and see what his friend did in return.

And i was all Dude don't punch me in the face. But whatever it sounds legit...,he wanted to show me i wouldn't be abused but protected by his friend.

And so he was saying something about how my lip is small on the top and wanted to fatten it up.

Okay so even if you're prepared and a hand comes at your face... I bit him... I could not help it...

And so in the end it did end up hurting my lip..

And so his friend was so fucking mad and so he was all "you want me to hit your girl?!?!" And all this and I was all O.O no just stop!!

Cause his girl happened to be my really good,friend and i knew her before Bill... I think... May be I amnesia met him before. But she was My friend.

And I didn't want people fighting in my house like that.

So i got mad and all thus crazy.

So his friend ended up punching him and breaking Bill's nose.

So then fast forward and...

So they were doing this work thing and they had uniforms and so Bill was all "let me help y'all with your uniforms"

Well then these two guys that Bill had assisted then got fired. One because his uniform ended up all messed up... Like the collar was starched upwards instead of being the way it should be. And the other guy, I'm not too sure .. I don't think... I actually think that someone possibly did something to him after that just like... Sprayed him with water and it got him like wet on his knees like he had been doing something inappropriate.

I think his was legit...

But then Bill's friend was all Dude you fucked my shit up on purpose and you didnt take care of my partner and yoh did it cause you're greedy and all.

But this job was like a clergy job, religious...

And so it pairs with this chick praying for me to get my deliverance.

The thing is that Bill, he is in love with my friend and my friend is having difficulty to figure that out and also she wants to continue her career and advance it further...

So the thing is that Bill needs that job. Bill needs to wait years.

But the girl that Bill's friend and his partner don't need to wait.

So I guess like Bill was praying while he helped but probably not even so much as praying but just saying the facts.

And so God was like dude I know, I'm gonna send these bitches out early so they quit playing around and they go get their business done.

And that's what happened.

Just like the chick with my car and she was all sit here as long as you need to to get your deliverance.

And so it was shitty God fucked my car yet again but it was for a reason.

And so it was shitty those two lost their jobs but at the same time God was all stop with your pride and your fears And go do what you need to

Like for love... It would symbolize "y'all are leaving here early, from this job, because you don't have to wait anymore to find love and happiness.

It hurt them besides causing a rift between Bill and his friend like they were all in pain and sore about it.

And God was all "yeah bitches, i hurt you. Go be happy now"

But Bills friend and his partner couldn't hear God.

I know Bills friend personally and I know that he hss been hurt a lot in his life snd I know that pain keeps him stagnate.

And so I know God said "you're in pain and go be with your love of your life"

I know. And I know that it was said to the other guy also.

Ysll know i do,this with NHRA sometimes who lost and why -- the messages from God that y'all,miss.

And I think that i would believed that Bill did fuck with them .... Except today happened.

Ironically!!! I went to the village to go to the bank to go to a football game that Bill's lover was gonna be at.

And so today oddly kinda revolved around Bill.

Bill is mean and heathenistic.

But my friend and Bill left after bikls9nose got broke cause my friend took him,to the hospital.

And i told his friend "Call Bill,let me tslk to him"

And he did and I said "Bill, I love you and i want uou to know you're welcome to,come back yo my house any time. I know you didn't mean to hurt my face and its okay"

It didn't hurt like that much it was shocking cause people don't usually punch me in the face and i was terrified that my friend would get punched in,the face and my friend used to,get punched in the face by her ex.

Everything had been going great and in my eyes everything was destroyed in seconds.

And Bill so much like Jesse James all turned to,mush under my powers and was all okay and even,cried.

Although his friend didnt want him to come back. I knew that they needed to make up.

His friend is like caveman barbaric... Like with civilization... All these rules you dont do to people and dont play and all that.

And I knew Bill had been acting from his heart. I mean... There's better ways to be... But Bill did a huge display that I was indeed truly safe with his friend.

And the way Bill did it... Was dramatic and at 7 G forces...

So Bill he's pretty cool.

And IF Bill purposely fucked with them... Then... It wss for a good reason.

But since there was 2 of them and Bill coukd had possibly only harmed one although neglected to protect the other -- I believe that it was just God and not Bill at all that purposely affected those two.

I mean i KNOW that lady didn't wanna drain my battery and actually prevent me,from being able to lock my car doors. It just happened.

We are all different people and not everyone is going to be the perfect friend or the perfect even enemy.

But I think that Bill uses his head and his heart quite well.

So as usual, I hope all those people involved in that job get and understand this message and I more so hope even more thsn that, even if they dont read it -- I actually prefer they didn't... But somehow just got the message like now Because it would be fastest and like that day at work they quit what they were doing

But this time -- I hope they go get the loves if their lives. Like 5 seconds ago. Why aren't they in their cars already?

Come on! Go already!

Hoo boy, a lot to break down here.

Every single title changed hands during this show, including the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. The last time that belt changed hands at a January 4 Tokyo Dome show was Wrestle Kingdom V on 1/4/2011, by, how about that, Hiroshi Tanahashi, beating Satoshi Kojima. Eight years since then, including last year's controversial retaining by Kazuchika Okada over Tetsuya Naito that some people are still salty about. So, essentially, the entire Bushiroad era. The (frankly piss-poor) reign of Kenny Omega as IWGP champion is at an end, and the rest of the Elite (including Kota Ibushi) are title-less as well. So let the speculation about Omega and All Elite Wrestling begin in full force. It will be interesting to see which direction he goes in either way. For his part, Tanahashi is now an 8-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion, cementing himself with the record number of reigns. (The next closest is Tatsumi Fujinami at 6.)

Los Ingobernables all hold titles now as well, barring Hiromu, of course, being out injured and all. CHAOS holds one title, as does Bullet Club, who lost one and gained one. The Seikigun hold two, after Tanahashi and Juice won their matches, however lost one with KUSHIDA.

Tetsuya Naito regains the title he hates over Jericho in a brutal brawl, taking full advantage of the No-DQ stipulation,and with it, begins his redemption story, having to come to terms with the IC belt to finally truly move beyond it. Really interested in seeing how his 2019 will go.

Jay White winning over Okada is interesting. It redeems White for having a poor re-debut at WK12 last year, and sets up a continuing feud with the two. Kazuchika Okada having his redemption arc is going to be a major part of 2019 creatively, I think, as will Naito as stated above, and eventually the two will collide. Okada does not take a hit here. It only sets him up to be stronger in the end. And hey, the Longboys are gone, so we have the Rainmaker back!

Shock of shocks, neither of the three-way tag matches ended with the reigning champions being pinned. The junior tag match was REAL short. (So were many of the matches today) Three-ways are stupid and are there to a) not make the champions do the job b) cover up for a bloated roster. Perhaps with the Elite moving away from NJPW this will be minimized in future. But let's face it, now we'll get rematches with the previous champions v. the current ones coming up real soon.

Juice regains the US belt, and writes Cody Rhodes out of NJPW. Trent Beretta challenged Juice post-show. That'll be good. Hopefully they can do right by Juice this time. They made him look like an absolute star at G1 Special in San Francisco, and then proceeded to squander and ruin that the rest of 2018. ZSJ regaining the RevPro title is about what I expected. Now he can take the belt home to England. Yes, that is the na.me of that finisher

That... was a nasty looking elbow Kota took. Ibushi has been reported as being concussed, and that stretcher job was legit. NJPW says the concussion is not severe. Will Ospreay is trying to be in characer gloating about it, because he is a dipshit. Who knows what Ibushi's future is in this AEW era. He's been a freelancer this entire time, so if he too were to leave NJPW (again) so be it. I really think he has the potential to be a drawing IWGP champion, but that's up to him. He did decline a WWE contract after all (as did Sabre). His is the bigger question mark looming than Omega's, if I'm honest.

The mixed Seikigun/CHAOS team of Makabe/Yano/Taguchi won the pre-show gauntlet match, so will most likely challenge for the NEVER Openweight Comedy 6-Man Tag Team titles tomorrow at New Year Dash!!. Yuji Nagata filled in for the injured *spits* Michael Elgin, and made the match actually watchable now, because fuck Michael Elgin. The Most Violent Players still being a thing makes me think there really is going to be a unit shakeup coming soon. We already saw it with Jay White and Gedo earlier in 2018, and the continued CHAOS/Seikigun teamups point that way too.

All in all, a really good show that was weak on paper but in practice did really well. The attendance was announced as 38,162, up from 34,995 for last year's, but not as much of a jump (Nearly +10K last year from WK11). It's also the highest attendance listed since Bushiroad started using actual numbers rather than papered, which was 36,000 in 2015 for WK9. So as critical as I've been of Kenny Omega as champion, using the Meltzer Standard for attendance, it looks like Kenny was, in fact, a decent draw as champion, even if creative and match quality was the shits. Online, it seems that there were some issues during the show on NJPWWorld, for which apologies have been doled out.

The attendance is an interesting issue. Bushiroad owner Takaaki Kidani has said for years that he wanted Wrestle Kingdom 14 to be the sell-out show at the Dome, as it falls on a Saturday...

As part of today's show, upcoming big events were announced for the coming year, and the biggest one of these was the announcement that WK14 will be, in fact, a 2-day event, on 1/4 and 1/5/2020, both Saturday and Sunday. Not sure how that is going to work out for selling out the Dome in 2020. In fact it might dilute the attendance by splitting it. It's an interesting conundrum, and we'll see if NJPW has the momentum to sell out just one, if not both, of those dates this time next year.

Other major show dates were announced, some we already knew (if you look at the Upcoming NJPW Events post from 2 days ago). There is a mega-card announced for 4/20/2019 at Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium, without a name given, but no word on Sakura Genesis, so I'm wondering if there will even be one this year. Wrestling Dontaku 2019 is a two-day event in Fukuoka, much like last year's edition.

This year's Best of the Super Juniors 26 Final will be held on 6/5/2019 at Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan, which is great, finally giving the Final the prestige it deserves with such a massive venue to hold it in. A mere 4 days later, we go back to Osaka-Jo Hall for Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-Jo Hall on, oddly enough, 6/9/2019.

G1 Climax 29 will begin and end in interesting fashion. This year's tournament will actually begin in the USA, on 7/6/2019 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX, making this the only time G1 Climax matches have been held outside of Japan. As for the ending, following the success of last year's Finals at Tokyo Nippon Budokan, which was due to necessity of renovations happening at Ryogoku, they are going back this year from 8/10 - 8/12/2019 for this year's G1 Finals as well.

The last one to be announced is a solo date in London, on 8/31/2019 at The Copper Box, located in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Hackney Wick. This is the place where feuding YouTubers Joe Weller and KSI held a boxing match. I am sure there will be RevPro involvement in this show.

That's it. That's all I got. New Year Dash!! is tomorrow but they never announce the card for it ahead of time. Hope everyone enjoyed WK13, and we start a good year in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Super colorful is legit risky for a boy ///Why so? Timmy wears it but he’s fashion adjacent too, Nic Hoult also wore a pink one once. Andrew G also wears colours.

I remember Joe did red once and lots of different shades of blues.. I don't think he is averse doing color.. Because he did wear a pink sweater for that shoot.. But I don't think he will wear bright colored suits on red carpet.. Like yoh need to be a proper fashion person to pull it off orelse you will end up looking like Oscar issac did with the skirt🤷‍♀️😂

“Because he did wear a pink sweater for that shoot” -> he doesn’t have input on what he wears in shoots and he does select all his lewks for the Red Carpet. Rose shows him options and he chooses what he likes. I don’t think he likes super risky fashion boy options.

[diaryofdeeppains]

With my ex literally said no I don’t believe win sex until marriage and he put it in anyways afte I said no. I had so many “talks”

With him about not having sex before marriage wand he pretended to feel bad but then would still pay me to doing it. This cycle went on for an entire year. I hate my ex for ruining me and ruining my relationship with my husband. He literally forced my clothes off and forced me in the shower after we broke up and he was seeing and talking to other women. I was legit mad at him but he thought I was “joking” when I said no. What the fuck. And I was so heartbroken and destroye I drove to him house in the middle of the night begging fir him back hysterically crying on the floor of his living room where I ISE TO LIVE. For weeks. No one will ever understand how traumatizing thst was. How traumaticzonf it was for someone who wa trying to array yoh skc e month three to put you through so pain and let you almost Ben homeless . Thank god I’m not with a man who js been a police officer for over two uer and owns his own house but still doesn’t know how to wash iOS own uniform and lets his mom come in and Decorate and do his dishes and hai laundry at least of w a week. Loving there for only three weeks with his mom coming over and doing things a wife should do made me feel worthlessness I redecorated his bathroom since I was Lviv there and his mom got upset it on her bathroom decorations down. His mom name was literally Karen 😂 he doesn’t revenge pay his own bills or know how to log in to pay his mortgage hos mom did it for him . Once I hit the age of 14 I wouldn’t let my mom do a ytbjg ride me. I would get angry and wouldn’t even let her touch my ladinfru. I wanted tk ebni dependent. I’ve always wanted to be independent as possible. I’ve always loved being on my own and taking care of myself. Too bad my health has prevented me from being able to do that for the longest lol. I’m married but I still want to prove I want to do everything myself and not rely on ayone

[mercy-misrule]

g1 climax spoilers, including discussion of wins and losses

im so happy with tonight

i wanted kenny to break his streak with an absolute vicious knock down fight with ishii and he did. it was awesome. i don’t get to see kenny brawl it out like that, and ishii is the fuckin mvp of this tournament.

this match and ishii v kota are the best matches of the whole thing so far, for me.

and i wanted kota to beat naito, and have them both still be alive afterwards! i don’t mean points wise, i mean like, no actual injuries. kota can be unsafe to wrassle with.

they lived, bitch.

and then the sanada v yano match was fuckin perfect. it was a beautiful yano match.

i reallly want zsj to take the US belt. give everyone’s favourite british vegan socialist toothpick the US belt, it will be the funniest thing.

jay and yoh’s tag matches are my preference over jay’s single matches because its when he’s with yoh, who is a good boy who doesn’t want to cheat that jay gets to be this absolute creepy bastard. 

the things i didn’t like were the mouth injuries. kota and naito’s were obviously not serious, but kota’s looked dramatic.  Kenny’s was legit upsetting

he was smearing blood everywhere, and i found it hard to watch by the end

and now everything gets tense as fuck. 

im sad i won’t be watching live tomorrow. the first livestream ive missed of the tournament. but i got them family commitments, son.

[confidence-suggestions]

But he did do a bad thing and shouldn't get off Scott free. Even saints that fuck up still deserve punishment. There's no history that can make what he did okay. I've found it easier to think of what you'd tell someone else to do, because that way you can look at it objectively without the need to shrink it because it's you. A bad habit of my own. Just. See what the professional says and do what's best for you, okay? Advice done. I promise. Good luck and much love.

I know, I'd just say tell him. But I legit cannot bring myself to confront him about it. I'll just talk it out, but I can say for a fact there will not be any kind of relationship between us. Thank yoh, though.

[oracleadyton-blog]

And King of Pro Wrestling happened and it was awesome. So much action. Great stories. Lots of fun. I haven’t reviewed all of the matches because i don’t really care about six men tags with Jado. Fight me.

Roppongi 3K (Sho and Yoh) (with Rocky Romero) defeated Funky Future (Ricochet and Ryusuke Taguchi) (c) for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.

So the two “mystery boys” are Sho Tanaka and Yohei Komatsu, back from their excursions. Both got a huge reaction coming out; the match started with R3K focusing more on mat wrestling while Taguchi and Ricochet were flying around and doing comedy spots. Extremely high pace and a couple of amazing spots, like a rolling brainbuster and standing moonsault combination by Ricochet and an impressive series of german suplexes by Tanaka. Rhythm really picked up towards the end as Roppongi won the belt with a double team. Short reign but that’s the deal with tag belts. After the match Rocky Romero makes the crowd sing-along - they’re already over - and Ricochet stops near the ramp entrance, soaking up Sumo Hall. 3.5 starz.

Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer) (c) defeated Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa) and War Machine (Hanson and Raymond Rowe) in a Three-way tornado elimination match for the IWGP Tag Team Championship.

Crowd was really into KES: they have the kind of outlaws-like rowdiness that Japanese crowds like from gaijins. GoD attacks them as they come out and the action starts: at first Bulldog Jr. got double teamed by War Machine while Archer was taken care by the Tongans. Then they all brawl outside with weapons. War Machine’s aerial spots got big reactions. They start trading finishers and kicking out until Tanga Loa took a Killer Bob and eliminated GoD. Tama retaliates on Rowe as they leaves. In the end Hanson puts Archer on a table on goes for the moonsault but gets interrupted by DBS. Killer Bomb on the table for the pin and KES retains. 

Good match! Unfortunately Hanson took the table really bad as it got slightly titled during his fall and hit him with its edge right on his lower back. Anyway, after laying there for a few minutes, he’s able to get up and bow in front of the crowd with Rome, as they usually do and got a good response. Also, on his way out Archer chokeslammed Kawato really hard. 3.75 starz.

Juice Robinson and Kota Ibushi defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi and Togi Makabe.

For the most part they went through the motion although it picked up towards the end. Both Tana-Ibushi and an the hypothetical Makabe-Robinson got properly over, so i guess the match served its purpose. It’ll be interesting what the dynamic will be in the IC title match. My guess is they’re going with Ibushi face and Tanahash asi the bitter and ageing heel. Kota is super over. 3.25 starz.

Will Ospreay defeated Kushida (c) for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.

Match of the night. I still have some reserves regarding Ospreay’s storytelling ability but 1) He’s very young and 2) He’s insanely good at what he does. This truly felt like the culmination of a journey with his BoSJ win in ‘16 and his lost to Kushida in a 5-star match in this year tournament’s final. His chemistry with the Time Splitter it’s incredible and their very different styles blend naturally together. Of course they made incredible spots, like a huge frankensteiner into an armbar by Kushida and some insane springboard stuff by Ospreay. The finishing sequence was amazing with some mercurial counters and Ospreay’s springboard cutter for the historical win. Hope he keeps that as a finisher going forward. 4.5 starz.

After Will’s celebration Hiromu Takahashi tried to challenge for the belt but was interrupted by Marty Scurll in a similar way Ospreay interrupted Hiromu himself at Destruction. So that’s set for Power Struggle in November. I’m not a huge fan of The Villain but BC really needs someone in the Junior division and i’m curious, probably it’ll be a really good match. Crowd was chanting for Hiromu though.

Tetsuya Naito defeated Tomohiro Ishii for the Tokyo Dome IWGP Heavyweight Championship challenge rights certificate.

They have good chemistry but i’ve seen better from both. Great match anyway, it honestly feels weird critiquing it. Felt a tad longer than it should have. Usual amazing no-selling spots by Ishii and his brainbutser teases were great, with Naito almost panicking at times. And it took like, three Destino to finish Ishii off? I really wish Naito’s finisher was booked a bit stronger and for me it’s always a knock on his matches. I don’t mind if it takes multiple Rainmakers for Okada to put away a legit contender because his finisher it’s a lariat, but the Destino it’s a super-cool lucha inverted DDT. He drops his enemies on their head. So yeah maybe it’s a double standard and it shouldn’t bother me but it can’t be helped.

After the match Naito kept harassing Ishii and did a final Tranquilo pose. Crowd went crazy. 4 starz.

Kazuchika Okada (c) (with Gedo) defeated Evil for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.

At the start of the match Okada kept taunting Evil, as if to see if he really understood what it takes to be at his level. Honestly the first half of this match didn’t feel really special but after Okada’s corner dropkick they went outside and the pace changed. Evil is really stiff and unleashed a good amount on punishment on the champion furthering the overarching storyline of Okada’s reign. Red Shoes got hit and Evil started using some chairs; went for the Darkness Fall on a bed of chairs but Okada counters with a frankensteiner. In the end it’s Rainmaker after Rainmaker for the win. 

My problem with this is that the belt never felt truly in danger so i wasn’t really into it. To be clear i do prefer consistent stories to shock moments that serve only to swerve the audience and Okada-Naito it’s the right way to go but still. Anyway it was a great match and a good moment for Evil and i can see him be a top 10 guy one day. 4 starz.

Great show!
