(Bonus Show) NEW BEGINNING IN OSAKA: New Japan's Big Show Runs the Gamut of Emotions

Jeremy Finestone and Steven Conway are back to break down the New Beginning in Osaka card! Topics covered include:

  • Will Ospreay's farewell as a New Japan-contracted wrestler with a main event that set new standards for violence in today's NJPW, but was it a good match?
  • How Ospreay and Francesco Akira and TJP worked hard to put over David Finlay's War Dogs crew, including Alex Coughlin, Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors and Drilla Moloney.
  • A look at how almost no one escaped the cage unscathed, from HENARE'S scary cut to Jeff Cobb's injury.
  • A technical masterpiece from Bryan Danielson and Zack Sabre Jr. that left both men feeling the high that comes from reaching the peak performance.
  • More tears as Kazuchika Okada and Hiroshi Tanahashi face one another one last time in a singles match, and how the Edion Arena plays into their historic rivalry.
  • Angles from early matches, including the Jr. Heavyweight title being put on the line versus SHO's faction allegiance and Shota Umino being spray painted.
  • A discussion of what's next for the IWGP Tag Team champions after a surprise finish.

New Beginning was a show that brought out some very real, raw emotions from the New Japan crew, some spectacular performances, and a divisive main event. Speaking of Strong Style looks at this historic show from every angle.
