Sounds an excellent show, the Japanese guys always bring their A-game when they come over to the States.

Bad Influence v The Young Bucks would be money!!

Finally got around to watching this,

For me it was 1st class action ruined by a lacklustre crowd, particularly given the reputation of the Hammerstein and NY crowds in general, I could forgive them for the first couple of matches as bar ACH's amazing senton to the outside (just the hang time is unreal) they were nothing to write home about, but as the action stepped up the crowd didn't really follow and it took something away from the show to see Nakamura, Tanahashi, Okada et al performing in front of virtual silence outside of localised pops.

That said the show was still entertaining and the final 3 matches were very good, MVP's of the night were for me Tom Lawler, a guy who you can tell is a wrestling fan as he put 110% into his 'celeb' manager role, and Jushin Liger, at first I was disappointed to hear that out of all NJPW's stellar cast Cole would be facing a near 50 year old man, living off name value, who spends most of his time in jabronified 8 man tag matches opening NJPW PPVs, but boy was I wrong, Liger proved he could still go with the best of them, and when the time came was selfless in putting Cole over, giving him the clean win, and being helped to limp to the back after the figure four.

Moving on from this the Daniels promo at the end has got me really hyped for the PPV, Cole vs Elgin and Bad Influence have already sold this show for me.

I give War of the Worlds ***1/2 stars, entertaining action spoiled by an awful crowd, but it's good to see ROH dealing internationally again creating those US indy v Japanese talent dream matches that did so well for them in the mid 00's.
