The Raw After WrestleMania of Japan

NJPW New Year Dash 2015 - 05.01.2015

Suzuki-gun (Taichi & TAKA Michinoku) vs. Sho Tanaka & Tiger Mask

Classic New Japan opener with a Young Lion. Sho Tanaka looked good.
**1/2

Forever Hooligans (Alex Koslov & Rocky Romero vs. reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly)

The worst association of last night 4way and it's still good. I tought the Forever Hooligan shenanigans were enjoyable here.
***

Suzuki-gun (Davey Boy Smith Jr., Lance Archer, Minoru Suzuki, Shelton Benjamin & Takashi Iizuka) vs. TenKoji (Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima),Captain New Japan, Manabu Nakanishi & Tomoaki Honma

Suzuki is back to black. Decent brawl but nothing amazing.
**1/2

NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title Match
Jushin Thunder Liger (c) vs. El Desperado

Really disappointing. I did get a bit excited when they announced this match, after all it's Liger defending a title in Korakuen. I'm not sure why but I expected Liger and Desperado to have good chemistry and well... it wasn't the case. Desperado is just dull. The work over of the arm wasn't interesting. Selling was ok tough.
**1/2

Team PWG BULLET CLUB (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) vs. Time Splitters (Alex Shelley & KUSHIDA) & Ryusuke Taguchi

Taguchi lose his title but he just don't give a fuck. The crowd can't help but like the Bucks. Good little Jr. match. It was nice to see this kind of pin ending a match.
***1/4 

BULLET CLUB (Bad Luck Fale & Tama Tonga) vs. CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada & Toru Yano)

The selling of Okada and Tonga chasing Yano around are enough for me to like it. With better aggressors this could have been something special. Not the finish one would expect.
**1/2

CHAOS (Shinsuke Nakamura, Tomohiro Ishii & YOSHI-HASHI) vs. Kota Ibushi, Togi Makabe & Yuji Nagata

The Nakamura/Ibushi chemistry, Ishii/Makabe continuing to run into each other, Yoshi being Yoshi and Nakamura trying to earn a title shot. MOTN.
***1/4

BULLET CLUB (AJ Styles, Doc Gallows, Karl Anderson & Yujiro Takahashi vs. Hirooki Goto, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Katsuyori Shibata & Tetsuya Naito

Before the match, Cody Hall is introduced as the young boy of Bullet Club. A road show Main Event by the numbers but eh, they are so good and charismatic it worked. AJ is really over, I won't be surprised if he gets the IWGP Heavyweight Title back.
***1/4

None of the matches are worth to get out of you way to see but it's still an enjoyable show to watch in full. The 2 Main Events for The New Begining Shows announced, the debut of Cody Hall, the Okada storyline, a newsworthy show.
