Powell’s POV: This show will be available live on the New Japan World streaming service. It will also be replayed on a four-hour special on Friday night on AXS television. Dot Net’s own Will Pruett will provide live updates from the building tonight as I cover the Slammiversary event, so join us for live coverage of both events. My full review of the first night of NJPW is available on the main page and Dot Net Members have access to my audio review of the show.
