New Japan Pro Wrestling on AXS TV Results: 02/06/15

We open with the usual talking segment with a NJPW star, once again its Kazuchika Okada.

We are welcomed in by Mauro Ranallo with Josh Barnett. The first match takes place June 22, 2013 at the Osaka Bodymaker Colosseum. The IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Prince Devitt makes his way to the ring. Mauro Ranallo mentions that he is now known as Finn Balor. Out next is his opponent Hiroshi Tanahashi.

After the match we go to Makabe talking about his defeat in the back. Back in the ring we see Stan Hanson giving the belt to Okada. Gedo grabs the microphone and talks about real wrestling. Prince Devitt makes his way to the ring. Devitt says he is the best of the Super Juniors, he says he just beat Tanahashi and next he beats Okada. Okada says if he wants a shot at the title there is just one condition he has to put the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title on the line as well. He says he can’t though because he is a heavyweight but if he gives Gedo a title shot at the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title then he can have a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight title. Devitt accepts the challenge as they have a stare down. Okada says now he will let Gedo talk now. Gedo says as long as Okada is the champion it will rain money. We go off the air with a closing interview segment from Okada talking about what we just saw.

My View: Another great show by NJPW. I continue to be impressed with the team of Ranallo and Barnett they are great together. My only complaint would be I wish we could see all of the Tanahashi vs. Devitt match.
