Snitsky's back acne Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'd love to see Liger live so I pray this isn't false hope! Â Why would their be false hope? You don't think he will turn up in the US shows? Â He is synonymous with NJPW, not NOAH, so I'd personally figure he'd be a lock for the US shows. Â I hope I'm wrong though.

Â Not sure what Noah has to do with anything but I would almost guarantee he will be NJPW shows, and he has been to the states recently so I would guess he will be.

Mark Sennett Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I thought you were hinting that Liger might be coming over to the UK with NOAH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Sloan Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I thought you were hinting that Liger might be coming over to the UK with NOAH. Â He is currently more likely to appear with NJPW than on a Noah event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixteen Degrees Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If anything I took Marks initial reaction to the timings to be an indication that Mark was looking at booking Low Ki on the shows. Then again, I may have been reading into something that wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TysonSL Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I thought you were hinting that Liger might be coming over to the UK with NOAH.  I assume it was a hint that he's looking to bring Liger over in the future. Possible even on the 21st/22nd October judging by his sig  If anything I took Marks initial reaction to the timings to be an indication that Mark was looking at booking Low Ki on the shows. Then again, I may have been reading into something that wasn't there.  That's the reason I was gutted when the NJPW dates were given. Especially now Low Ki has been confirmed for the US shows. Still, there's always the 21st/22nd October... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobystag Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'm gutted enough I won't be able to get to any of these shows (but then going to NOAH instead is hardly a stab in the heart) so I do hope I get to see Liger live.  Still, if I was going to these NJPW shows, I'd be slightly disappointed with no Goto, Nagata & Kanemoto.  But anyways here's the current roster list for NJPW's US debut:  *Hiroshi Tanahashi *Prince Devitt *Karl Anderson & Giant Bernard *Gedo *Jado *Jushin "Thunder" Liger *Tiger Mask IV *Satoshi Kojima *Toru Yano *Kenny Omega *Homicide *Low Ki *Yujiro Takahashi *Tetsuya Naito *Mitsuhide Hirasawa *Togi Makabe *Kazuchika Okada *Shinsuke Nakamura  I would definitely lose Yano, Takahashi, Hirasawa if it meant Goto, Nagata & Kanemoto could replace them. It does seem they are definitely going all out with the amount of guys they're bringing over, especially seen as JAPW are supposedly going to add some more guys to the list.....

Yujiro is there so that they can do some NO LIMIT matches. I'm also suprised at how many people they have going over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I dont get it in terms of doing NJPW in the USA over NOAH. Surely if you wanted to see NJPW that badly and live in the UK you would go to Japan. Â I'm off to Tokyo for two weeks in August. You can probably guess which two weeks.

cobystag Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'd rather Naito get some singles matches myself.... Â But with a roster currently 19 strong as well as introducing more JAPW names (I wouldn't mind guys like Brodie Lee, Sami Callihan, Chris Dickinson, B-Boy, etc appearing although I probably wouldn't have ever said that if not for their strong showings in EVOLVE), how large are their cards going to be? Â I guess this definitely rules out any TNA involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo is fantastic. If you have time/money try to get to Kyoto for a day or 2. Fantastic city. Expect it to be absolutely swelteringly hot and muggy though in Japan at that time of year.
