From what I understand, Dragon-Go, the six-man, and Nigel-Mori are all in full and all a little over 30 min then the last few minutes are quick clips of the rest of the show. I got specific match files so I had no need to DL the show so I can't personnally confirm that> Lemme know when you have it done, I wanna know if it's worth it.

Alright, I also heard that the Live In Osaka show was also aired, is this true?

[MrPaiMei]

I know nothing of it. I asked my puro supplier, who gets stuff from a direct contact in Japan, and he said he knew nothing yet but that the Tokyo show popped up basically randomly so it may be on at any time. I'll PM him right now and see what he says.

From my puro bro:

"I should get the ROH show by anyday now. The Osaka show, however, has not aired on Samurai TV yet. I also dont know if they are going to air it."

NJPW 10/26/1996

Satoshi Kojima vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan
Believe it or not, this was my first time seeing both of these guys. They were both really impressive. Good hard hitting match here. One thing that made me laugh was Tenzan walking around the ring and breathing like he was Lorraine from MAD TV. It sounded like he was gonna die or something.
***3/4

Shinya Hashimoto/Scott Norton vs. Riki Choshu/Kensuke Sasaki
First time seeing Choshu. He's pretty huge, as were all the guys in this match. But yeah this was ALL power. There was at least 5 powerslams and somewhere around 15 lariats in this one. Sasaki really injured Norton's arm with his judo takedown thingy. Looked like that hurt...
***1/2

The Great Muta vs. Jushin "Thunder" Liger
This is it. The famous Kishin Liger match. This match is just wickedly awesome. It's not an awesome match because there was great technical wrestling, or crazy near falls, or high flying madness, this match was awesome for the following reasons: 1. It's Muta vs. Liger, duh. 2. Muta scared the shit out of the front row, and it was hilarious. 3. When Liger got up and his revealed his face to be painted white and he spit that mist in Muta's face, that in itself should make you wanna watch this match.
****

Overall: ***3/4

This is obviously not the entire show, it's just what IVP released. The main menu said it was NJPW Valis 22, so there ya go. There was no commentary during this entire DVD, but you can easily tell they had mics around the ring or something, because the entire show you could hear the guys breathing and moanin and groanin. It got kind of annoying in the tag match. But still a great DVD for 2.99.

ROH In Japan 7/16/07 - Show was clipped except for these 3 matches.

Bryan Danielson vs. Go Shiozaki - ****1/2 - Go needs to be booked for more ROH, the guy is just phenomenal. I was excited for this match when it was announced and it didn't disappoint me in the slightest.

The Briscoes and Naomichi Marufuji vs Matt Sydal, Ricky Marvin and Atushi Aoki - ****1/4 - Great match, The Briscoes and Marufuji were a great team, pulled out great triple team moves and the crowd loved them as well. As ROH said, if KENTA had been in it it may of been MOTY.

Nigel McGuiness vs. Takeshi Morishima - ****/****1/4 - These 2 had another great hard hitting encounter, the crowd was into it, i woulden't call it a MOTYC but i may have to watch it again just to make sure, either way it was a great match.

Other notes about ROH in Japan Night 1

- Is Jack Evans injured or something because in the opening match he seemed alot slower then usual.

- Delirious with a beard is weird yet awesome.

- The crowd shocked me, i thought they would be quiet and not that into matches but they were great, even doing ROH chants (and throwing toilet roll at Jimmy, tut tut)

I'm really looking forward to getting the DVD of this so i can take a better look at the show.

Was it better than their Fighting Spirit match??

For me, on first view i didn't think so.

But i need to rewatch both matches just to check.

[MrPaiMei]
