New Beginning in Sapporo Review: NJPW Lacks Conviction

Steven Conway and Jeremy Finestone are back with Speaking of Strong Style! The pair review the two New Beginning in Sapporo shows from New Japan Pro Wrestling, featuring a mixed bag of matches. STARDOM stole the show on the first night with a title defense by Mayu Iwatani. A pair of former WWE wrestlers, Nic Nemeth and Matt Riddle, made their debut in Japan while Kazuchika Okada and Tama Tonga made their farewells. On the second night, we saw five singles matches between Los Ingobernables and Just 5 Guys, culminating in an IWGP match between Tetsuya Naito and SANADA. Steven and Jeremy break down the chaos, try to rationalize some decisions (which ain't easy), and debate the direction of the promotion moving forward! A fun 80 minutes so check it out!
