Vader went on Twitter on Saturday night and criticized a NJPW Best of the Super Juniors match between Will Ospreay and Ricochet. The WWE legend saw a .gif image from the match (see below) and said it was nothing more than “blatent acrobatics” with no story. For those who didn’t see the match, it was off the charts as far as high spots are concerned with the crowd coming unglued numerous times. He tweeted:
