NJPW New Beginning in Nagoya Review By Jim Rohan on Jan 31, 2021, 12:44am EST + This event was broadcast from Nagoya’s Dolphin's Arena where we were greeted with "What’s up you fat marks?!" by new colour commentator El Phantasmo, alongside Kevin Kelly. Toru Yano & Kazuchika Okada vs. Yujiro Takahashi & EVIL – Okada has been very jolly in the build to this event and has at times appeared not to take Evil all too seriously, though he has been demanding a singles match against him. Okada and Evil begin the match but after circling and changing corners, Togo nips at Okada’s an...

50. IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship: Jon Moxley [c] vs. Minoru Suzuki – NJPW New Beginning in Osaka This was a highly-anticipated battle.
