Match observations:

Well, it looks like all of our champions have been decided except for the World Heavyweight which will be decided in another 16 man tourney next week. Also next week, Eddie Guerrero defends against Yuji Nagata, Blue Panther and William Regal defend against mystery opponents, Super Delfin defends the Junior Heavyweight title against Jyushin Lyger, plus a few more surprises as well!

Like WWE Smackdown, Eddie Guerrero is a superstar in NWWJ, winning the NWWJ International Championship. Great first card, starting with a tournament. I hope well see some more wrestlers appear in either NWWJ circuits down the road.

I was suprised by the ratings of the matches...I would have assumed that the Misawa / Guerrero match would have done better.

I enjoyed the card though...
