After my last week was dominated by WWE and EVOLVE-esque shows, it’s about time we switched up the diet. New Japan’s Invasion Attack show earlier today came at the right time. As I missed this live, it was the turn of On-Demand viewing for this… and with the counter showing that this show weighed in at just under five hours, the obvious WrestleMania comparisons came into play.
