As part of my informal new year’s resolution to be more diverse with my wrestling watching, I’ve taken the plunge and have signed up for New Japan World – the NJPW version of the WWE Network, for the uninitiated.

Originally written when See No Evil was released in 2006… Remember when Kane had his throat crushed on TV by Gene Snitsky, before going away for a bit? This is the product of that time off, and by Christ, it sucks!
