Steven Conway and Jeremy Finestone recap Wrestle Kingdom 19 in Episode 144! Steven gave his live-in-Tokyo perspective of a tremendous card headlined by Zack Sabre Jr. v Shota Umino. They broke down the entire card, discussing the ramifications of each match. They talked of the inner turmoil on display in the main event, the heavy psychology of the Tetsuya Naito v Hiromu Takahashi battle, why David Finlay and Yota Tsuji both stepped up big, the feel-good El Phantasmo and Hirooki Goto stories, the heartbreak of DOUKI’s injury and why Mayu Iwatani and AZM should have gotten more time, and the reasons they didn’t. It’s the best recap of New Japan’s biggest night!
