Oh, my friends, sorry for what culture here, back on my feet, but I am still so damn ill.

0:05.2

If I collapse, join the Miller's Ups and Downs, you're just gonna have to come and save me,

0:09.5

even though you don't know where I live. Also, we are doing a new Japan show, and as we said last

0:15.2

year, it means this is gonna be a very naked episode of the show. Some reason New Japan doesn't

0:20.8

like anyone using any of their assets, we just gotta make do as best we can.

0:25.1

But Wrestle Kingdom 17 is in the book, so I decided to figure out whether it was a good show,

0:30.4

whether it was an average show, or whether it was a pant show. Those are the only three options.

0:51.1

So there is too much to talk about when it comes to the whole damn thing,

so we'll just go through the pre-show really quickly. The Rambo was really funny,

1:29.1

crazy, because it was champion TJP and Akira taking on Leo Rush and Yo, and of course they just

1:34.7

went, move, flip, flop, up, down, left, right, up, I'm over there, you can't stop me, oh my gosh,

1:39.2

I'm going to do a dive. And then we're going at such pace, all of a sudden from nowhere,

1:43.2

Leo Rush was just pouring with blood, and I turned into his father during me, so I was like,
