Wrestle Kingdom 10 & The Worst Commentary Team
Q: In Kevin's opinion, what was the worst match on the card and what was the best besides Okada and Tanahashi?
There were matches better than others, and I'm never one to say, oh, this match is good, this match is not good. The Goto-Naito match for me wasn't all that and a bag of chips.
