Today’s Time Limit reaction pod is all about New Japan Pro Wrestling’s (NJPW) second night of Road To The New Beginning action, which took place early Tuesday morning. Today’s episode includes:
How El Desperado’s win over Yoshinobu Kanemaru was good, all things considered.
An attempt at understanding the odd pre-show segment with Master Wato and SHO.
Going over the most interesting tag matches on the undercard, including another appearance from the soon-departing Kazuchika Okada.
Questioning if there’s too much House of Torture in the main event currently.
Time Limit will publish another audio edition tomorrow, going over NJPW’s second part of a doubleheader series of shows from Korakuen Hall. The card will include a singles match between Ren Narita and Shota Umino, plus a NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Championship bout. If you are more a fan of the written work on the blog, know that there will be some written pieces coming out in a few days as well!
