NJPW Windy City riot notes and star ratings

 New Japan Windy City riot star ratings! 4/16

Karl Fredericks, Yuya Uemura & Clark Connors vs. The Factory (QT Marshall, Aaron Solo & Nick Comoroto) *** 

(Great opener way better than I thought or it had any right to BE)


— Fred Rosser, Josh Alexander, Chris Dickinson, Alex Coughlin & Ren Narita vs. Team Filthy (Jorel Nelson, JR Kratos, Danny Limelight, Royce Isaacs & Black Tiger) ***

(another fun match that exceeded my expectations)


— Tom Lawlor vs. Yuji Nagata ****

(Great little match. Filthy time is a future star Nagata can still go)


— The United Empire (TJP, Jeff Cobb, Great-O-Khan, Aaron Henare, Mark Davis & Kyle Fletcher) vs. Bullet Club (El Phantasmo, Hikuleo, Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows, Chris Bey & Scott Norton) **1/2

(Super disappointing considering the amount of over the top talent that’s in this match)


— David Finlay, Juice Robinson & Brody King vs. JONAH, Shane Haste & Bad Dude Tito in a Chicago Street Fight ****

(A bit long but super fun)


— US of Jay Open Challenge: Jay White vs. “Shooter” ***1/2 (pretty fun I hope “shooter “align some self with black pool combat club)


— Tomohiro Ishii vs. Minoru Suzuki ****1/2 

(this is exactly what you expect from them and I love it)


— Jon Moxley vs. Will Ospreay *****

(This is easily a strong contender for match of the year. It’s the best Moxley match I’ve ever seen)
