John Pollock & Wai Ting review both nights of NJPW’s New Beginning in Hiroshima 2021 shows headlined by Kota Ibushi vs. SANADA for the Double Championship and Hiromu Takahashi vs. SHO for the Jr. Heavyweight Championship.
Also on the show, a pair of controversial finishes leaves several talking points as Taichi & Zack Sabre Jr. seek to regain the “Iron Fingers from Hell” (and the IWGP Tag Titles) from G.O.D., and Kazuchika Okada continues to goad EVIL to agree to a 1-on-1 encounter.
We also discuss New Japan’s propensity for longer match durations and its effect on the overall quality of the show, the possible unification of the IWGP Double Championship and the man trying to prevent it, Zack Sabre Jr. on commentary, AEW Dynamite footage appearing on NJPW World, and more.
