That match was good until Ki botched the double stomp finish.

I'm surprised that NJPW aren't ofering this to the US PPV market, they have done so before with a WCW combined show.
TNA has a strong enough PPV market for monthly PPV's, plus there is an audience of the hardcore fans interested in a NJPW on PPV of what so far looks like being a strong card.

I miss Albert. Someone get him on my tv PLEASE! If you buy from there you can have him on DVD which then goes to TV via DVD player. Quick shipping too. I think he should just win the TNA tag belts with Tomko. Have him and Tomko be double tag team champions. |

Heel singles. Too bad Tomky is hurt  |

"For the first time in seven years and eight months, the one and only Great Muta will return home to New Japan Pro-Wrestling. President Sugabayashi today officially announced that the mystery of the Orient will compete at "WRESTLE KINGDOM II IN TOKYO DOME" on January 4th. Sugabayashi said he had heard many requests from fans to see Muta back on New Japan soil, and continuing New Japan's efforts to listen to its fans, it has been set up. With the Japan (NJ) vs. USA (TNA) theme on 1/4, he feels Muta, a man famous in both countries, is a fitting participant. Sugabayashi isn't sure who his opponent will be yet, but since Muta has been away so long and New Japan has changed so much in those seven years, he is hoping something fresh will be set up. Sugabayashi thought back to his days as a business manager in New Japan, particular when Muta vs. Choshu headlined the 6/16/92 Fukuoka International Center show, and they managed to sell out all tickets in advance for it. He is excited to see Muta back and this adds another feature to what appears to be a very "international" show." Credit: puroresufan.com Oh...  ...yeah |

That would be good if Muta of the 2000s was the Muta of the 1990s. It'll be interesting to see who he will face, though. I'm guessing maybe Chono. Too bad Sting wont work the 1/4 show. Muta vs. Sting would of been cool.

Maybe with the right match Sting will work. I hope. I might hate TNA if they don't somehow, someway show this event, I don't care for the logistics, just make it happen. Muta may not be as agile as before, but he's still entertaining. It's like watching Ric Flair now.

I should have left off at Muta isn't as agile as he once was. Which you have to admit is true, even his final WCW run he did a lot more than he can do now. He doesn't break the moonsault out as much as am example. But that's due to wear on his knees. I still find Flair good in the ring. He can work better and still put on good matches if given the time and chance. Unfortunately there aren't many people in WWE he can do that with. Muta can still go better than Flair, I know that. Muta also looks like he still tries to stay in great shape. Flair looks like he has since like the late 90s. Saying Flair doesn't have great psychology is like slapping the man in the face. There's a difference between having great psychology and being thrown into matches with Randy Orton to make him look better without winning. |

Ididn't know which company offered but i'd imagine NJPW must have agreed to it being shown 7 my point is surely a similar deal should be arranged here |

Saying Flair doesn't have great psychology is like slapping the man in the face. There's a difference between having great psychology and being thrown into matches with Randy Orton to make him look better without winning. I'll admit he's not as agile anymore, but dropping him to modern day Flair level is absolutely sickening. Flair isn't half the mat god that everyone makes him out to be. In my honest opinion, at the end of the day, all Flair ever had was insane charisma and mic skills. His best matches, the ones that EVERYONE praises to the heavens, and I'm talking the Steamboat matches, were only as good as they were because Steamboat made that mother er look good. Hell, the same can be said for Hennig and Bret's matches with Flair. If he didn't have someone who was better than he was with him, Flair blew. But again, that's just my opinion. Back to the topic, though. I agree that Muta's not as good as he was, but he's still a great wrestler. |

None of this changes the fact that I really think TNA needs to go the WCW way and show WK2. I don't care how, I just wanna see it. If they do, I won't even touch my computer January 4th because I know I'll accidentally see the results. |

It's going to be all over most Puro download sites within like 2 days, hell, IVP/PuroDVDSource will probably have it within a week or two after it happens. |
