Day 8 ratings
Ishii/DBS Jr: ****
Tenzan/Yano: **3/4
Nagata/Benjamin: ***3/4
Kojima/Gallows: **1/2
Goto/Naito: ****1/4
Archer/Styles: ****

This has to be the fourth time I've said this now, but this could be the show of the year. This had everything that was lacking from a lot of major New Japan shows earlier this year: hot crowd, tremendous in ring action and good booking across the board. Seriously, this crowd could have saved even the worst TNA PPV.

Not quite as great as yesterday or Friday, but being not "quite as great" as two of the best shows ever is still being a pretty damn good show.

Day 10 (partial) ratings~!
Kojima/Honma: Didn't see due to feed issues
DBS Jr/Fale: Didn't see due to feed issues
Tenzan/Naito: Didn't see due to feed issues
Anderson/Suzuki: ***1/4
Makabe/Yano: DUD
Styles/Takahashi: ***1/2
Okada/Archer: ***
Tanahashi/Nagata: ***1/4
Ishii/Shibata: ****1/2
Nakamura/Gallows: ***
UStream had an issue on the main New Japan channel but not the individual ticket channel. They sent me a ticket code for the individual ticket channel and I got in to see everything from Anderson/Suzuki on. Fingers crossed this doesn't happen for the next two shows. From what I heard from people who saw the first three matches, I didn't miss much which is disappointing considering Honma/Kojima is Honma/Kojima.

Sure, I'm working on a set based on this year's G1 and should have them done soon.

 My favorite part is how it's a Dome but it's got that one part around the middle that's completely open so if this typhoon does hit it could end up becoming an open air stadium. |

Ratings for the final day...can't believe it's been three weeks already.
Eight man tag: ***
NJPW/Bullet Club: **1/4
Saku and Friends/Suzuki-gun: **
Masked Dudes/ROH Dudes: **3/4
Time Splitters/reDRagon: ***1/2
Honma/Naito: ***
Ishii/Anderson: ***
Shibata/Goto: ****
Tanahashi/Styles: ****1/4
Okada/Nakamura: ****1/2
Not the best show of the tournament by any means. Good show overall but far from what I would have wanted from a stadium show to close out the greatest tournament ever. I'll rewatch after some sleep (25 hours with no sleep right now) and adjust my ratings accordingly.
