NJPW Dominion 2018

The new NJPW President Harodl Meij comes out and cuts a promo in Japanese about how much he loves wrestling and then cuts the same promo in English. R3K is out to get the Jr tag titles from Kanamaru and Desperado. Lots of crowd brawling and cheating from Suzuki-gun. Last ride lungblower hits for 2! Whiskey bottle to the head of YOH leads to a cradle and a pin. Finlay and Juice are out to face Jay White and YOSHI-HASHI. Finlay and Switchblade have great chemistry - and Switchblade chants break out surprisingly. Finlay stunners YOSHI, but eats a Blade Runner. PULP FRICTION TO JAY WHITE AND HE PINS SWITCHBLADE!

Suzuki and ZSJ are out and Kevin Kelly talks about a fan flying 5,000 miles to bring Minosu Suzuki a painting that she made of him. Yano and Ishii are quite an odd pairing, but Don is perfect for him. He is grateful for ZSJ's attempts to take him out of the business. Yano yells at Minoru to not run off the ropes, but he does so anyway and kicks him. ISHII AND SUZKI HIT EACH OTHER HARD. Yano and ZSJ are in and Yano goes for the buckle pad, but ZSJ attacks the arm. ZSJ blocks a low blow and taps him out with an armbar while Minoru locks on an Octopus to Ishii. Ishii and Suzuki brawl.

Taichi is out with Miho singing. BIG MIKE is leg big and more ripped. Goto remains Goto. Big Mike sets off a sunset bomb tower of doom. Taichi hits a superkick on Goto for 2. Taichi lands a buzzsaw kick and a Gedoh clutch gets 2. Buckle bomb, buckle bomb INTO GOTO and then the Elgin bomb ends it. Sucks that Elgin didn't pin the former champ, but this was short and solid. Bucks are out to face SANADA and EVIL for the heavyweight tag belts.

Double snapmare dropkicks to SANADA. Nick hits a crazy spin dive to the floor. Matt eats a tilt a whirl and a dropkick. Indytaker is prevented by EVIL. EVIL eats a sharpshooter, but SANADA locks on a Skull End. Nick makes a save and everyone's down. EVIL AND SANADA HIT AN INDYTAKER FOR 2! Magic Killer hits, but Nick makes a save!  STO is countered into a backslide for 2.9! Matt lands a big lariat after being locked in Skull End. SPINNING SKULL END! SPEAR OFF A MOONSAULT! SUPERKICK PARTY OFF A SPRINGBOARD! More Bang for Your Buck hits and THEY WIN THE IWGP HEAVYWEIGHT TAG BELTS!

Liger, Tana, and Rey are out. Rey's half-mask/half-lion mark logo is great. Of course the graphic spells his name as "Ray". Cody, Marty, and Hangman are out to take out the legends. Weird to see Tana in the legends role already. Rey's red, black, and white gear is his best major league gear outside of the Rumble. Rey kicks away at Marty, and it's amazing how much better he's moving now than he was in WWE eight years ago. He and Marty work great together and a wheelbarrow facebuster into a 619 is met by Hangman. Liger is in with Cody and he lands a shotay, and a double 619 hits. Avalancha rana hits, but Cody ends it with a Cross Rhodes.

Hiromu is out with his statue and its broken wing - making a wing out of his hand and putting Band-Aits on the trophy itself. Greatness! Ospreay is out and Kevin talks about how great he is, but how much people worry about him burning out. Hiromu hits a shotgun dropkick to the floor. Ospreay hits a pip, pip cheerio foreaarm. Kneeling forearm exchange! Hiromu gets a triangle and the dynamite clutch hits for 2. DVD into the buckle hits! TIME BOMB HITS AND ENDS IT!

 Jericho is out in a completely new look - long black pants, a top hat, and face paint. He's letting the grey hair grow into the beard and it works for him. They start off with a big brawl on the floor. Jericho is in slow motion already and he hits a suplex on the floor. Powerbomb through a table, and Naito lands terribly with his head hitting the barricade. Jericho repeats his camera grab> bird flip - but does it with the hard camera!

Jericho eats a neckbreaker/reverse DDT after a low blow. Corner basement dropkick hits for Naito! NAITO PILEDRIVES HIM ON THE TABLE AND IT DOESN'T BUDGE! Jericho avoids an avalanche rana and gets the walls! Swinging DDT hits for Naito and gets 2. DESTINO HITS, but he can't follow up! It only gets 2 and Jericho grabs the rope. Gloria hits and Destino meets a low blow and a Codebreaker! JERICHO WINS IT and wins his first IWGP title! He beats up Naito afterwards and is really giving off a modern-day Brody vibe. He takes his belt off and whips him with it. EVIL makes a save!

Omega is out super-ripped and blonde again with Ibushi. Kevin talks about them having over two hours of ring time so far. They start on the floor with a brawl. Omega lands a series of kicks to the back before more floor brawling leads to a snap rana. Omega eats a nasty shotgun dropkick and lands horribly on the railing. Ibushi has a white towel in his hand - which adds some drama here. RAINMAKER POSE leads to a snapdragon out of nowhere. FLIP DIVE at 25 minutes!

Okada gets a cradle and gets the first fall. Angel is avoided, V Trigger hits and an electric chair German gets 2.9999! More floor brawling and an Omega back suplex hits. BACK SUPLEX ON THE APRON! SUPER CROSS LEGGED SUPLEX BY OMEGA! Forearm exchange! SNAPDRAGON! V Trigger and the One Winged Angel gets the second fall!

Okada is still out of it and Gedo is icing him up as much as he can. Okada is out still and Gedo stalls. V TRIGGER! Angel is countered into a RAINMAKER! Omega's foot kicks Okada and sends him down. V TRIGGER! Anothe ris met with a counter and  GODDAMN DROPKICK! He goes for a tombstone but Omega blocks and he hits another dropkick! Omega ducks a Rainmaker and goes for a hat trick German. German by Okada, with wrist control! Omega ducks and hits more Germans! REWIND RANA! RAINMAKER COUNTERED INTO THE ANGEL, BUT HE'S IN THE ROPES! They're both out of it on the ropes!

V TRIGGER ON THE ROPE! OMEGA HITS THE ANGEL AND WINS IT! HE IS THE IWGP CHAMPION! Wow - this was incredible! The Bucks come down and hug Omega with Ibushi! He holds off on holding the belt to hug them. The Bucks and Omega hit WK 9 in the junior heavyweight division and were successful there, and now three and a half years later, they reign supreme as heavyweight champions! Omega cuts a promi in Japanese and talks about how people told him to play it safe. He thanks the fans and wishes everyone goodnight.
