Watched Wrestle Kingdom 11 with a bunch of friends last night, and I really thought it was a great show!
I haven’t been watching much wrestling since, well, the release of WWW:II really. It was really refreshing to enjoy a show and yell at the TV.
Admissions: we did skip the ROH title match and kinda snark on the various tag gauntlets, but my boy EVIL had a strong showing at least! And then starting with the KUSHIDA/Takahashi through to the end, I felt like every match topped the last while being it’s own standalone thing.
And Omega/Okada was brutal, just brutal.
Anyway. If you have a chance, check out the show! It’s worth it!
I still break out WK10 from time to time, just to watch Shibata and Ishii take turns brutalizing each other to prove how macho and stoic they are. 🙂
What are your plans for the Royal Rumble this year?
Wrestle Kingdom has been one of my favourite shows each year for the past three years I’ve been watching it. I thought this one was awesome, just as good as last year’s, maybe even better.
The telling point for me is that the show was over four hours long and I wasn’t burned out when I was done.
