What an amazing pro wrestling show. My mind is just blown. It was four hours, a hell of a commitment, but it was so worth it. It was Wrestlemania, but done right. You had spectacle, you had a huge arena and electric atmosphere, you had huge personalities, you had some novelty matches, you had variety but holding it all together; YOU HAD AMAZING WRESTLING.
This ticked every box.
Go out of your way to see this show. This is wrestling done right. Four hours of solid, larger-than-life entertainment, with THREE of the best matches I’ve seen in many, many months and none of the bullshit.

2013 is getting off to a huge start as we head into Wrestlemania season, with not only the Royal Rumble around the corner but also New Japan’s biggest show of the year tomorrow night - the annual Tokyo Dome show. This year’s show will be headlined by two of the most gifted and exciting performers in the world today as Hiroshi Tanahashi defends the IWGP heavyweight title against Kazuchika Okada, in the third world title battle in their already classic rivalry. Tanahashi is already firmly established as one of this generation’s best performners, and Okada really exploded onto the scene last year after an extended period of near-anonymity in TNA. The show will be on iPPV and is available for $35 on UStream. Also featured is a three-way contest between Low Ki, Prince Devitt and Kota Ibushi.
