8 Live Observations From ROH/NJPW Global Wars PPV
7. The Addiction Vs. Jushin Thunder Liger & Cheeseburger
So, I know Christopher Daniels, and I’ve heard a lot about Jushin Thunder Liger, but the other guys not so much. Cheeseburger looks like he weighs all of 120 pounds soaking wet. He’s a bean pole, to be honest. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I wasn’t impressed with his athleticism either. I don’t know what angle ROH is working with him.
Christopher Daniels was fun to see, and he brought it. However I had high hopes for Jushin Thunder Liger, and they just weren’t delivered for me. To be fair, I don’t think this match set him up well to showcase his talents. The match felt like the focus was more on Cheeseburger, which baffles me. Liger is a NJPW stud, but he wasn’t allowed to shine very much here, and that was disappointing.
Daniels and Kazarian (The Addiction) lost the match, but then proceeded to beat the holy hell out of Cheeseburger after. That was okay, but I was hoping for more out of the stars, and less from mascot-type wrestlers like Cheeseburger.
