[GKJ]

AXS is showing Dominion tonight. Well, the top 2 matches.

 

[Emperoreddy]

TNA is now Global Force Wrestling

 

[M.C.G. 31]

still haven't watched anything of Dominion fml

New Japan on a normal hour for me just feels weird, can't wait.

Wish AXS was showing both shows live, but I'll take what I can get.

Have to keep some content for NJPW World. Which I highly suggest getting.

 

[GKJ]

My body is ready

 

[GarbageGoal]

Double ring announcers.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Fun opening match.

"You can't lose on TV, Marty!".

 

[GKJ]

Gah! at that finish is what I have to say.

 

[joshyhockey26]

Fun opener. As expected the crowd is eating up everything.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Wow, didn't realize Liger was on this card.

I actually already have it, didn't realize World had the events live this weekend, sweet!

 

[GKJ]

So, do Bullet Club and Jay Lethal have new music for this, or has it been this for a while?

 

[GKJ]

I don't know if Jay Lethal is just this great at selling but he definitely does seem like he's hurt.

 

[17futurecap]

Juice! Juice! Juice!

 

[offkilter]

OKAY! Just realized I had the AXS channel so I'll be watching along with you guys! Looks like Juice Robinson vs ZSJ right now. OMG is that good ol JR on commentary?

It is JR though I have to admit, hasn't been his best commentary tonight. Just my opinion

 

[GKJ]

What the Christ was that finisher?

Zack Sabre Jr. is absolutely ridiculous. He's stupid. Get out of here, you're too good at this.

 

[17futurecap]

Doesn't seem up on the product. Also him mentioning Jim Breaks before this Sabre match wasn't the best idea after what happened with Breaks today.

 

[17futurecap]

What a team this is.

 

[GKJ]

JR is definitely up on the product, I think he's just getting old and a bit slow processing the action. He sounded a bit off when he was calling the Undertaker/Roman Reigns match, too. It's like sometimes he just has trouble getting the words out of his mouth when a lot is happening.
