NJPW
Battle In The Valley
San Jose, California
Jan. 13th, 2024
This was a fine opener. Everyone got their time and I continue to enjoy Rosser in NJPW Strong.
3 / 5
A solid match and everyone here did good. It just never picked up or felt truly exciting.
2.5 / 5
TJP looked good here as did Finley. Solid action overall.
3 / 5
Bullet Club War Dogs continue to be a hit for me. Solid action here even if the pacing wasn’t all here and some stuff looked sloppy.
2.75 / 5
Guilia really is a star and will easily succeed elsewhere, in WWE, which is where they were alluding to being her future. Adora looked great here as well though and this was a great showcase match for her.
3.5 / 5
Riddles return to NJPW match and returning to team with Cobb. A good action packed match which was all just for Riddle to get to come back to show off some.
3.5 / 5
A double count out so neither guy has to lose here works thankfully due to both guys style even if the crowd hated it. This was more of a brawl than anything.
2.5 / 5
A bloody violent brawl here with Moxley and Shingo. This felt like a heated feud that neither guy wanted to lose and fought to the end. A lot of blood and big spots made this feel like a big time match.
4.5 / 5
Is this their best match, no. Okada and Ospreay still know how to put on classics though in their sleep. Some amazing moves and counters here and it told a good story with both guys using the others moves to try to get a win. Will losing made since because he’s out of NJPW now as well.
4.5 / 5
