It's a Rev Pro show where they've been given access to a bunch of New Japan guys ; it's not New Japan doing a UK tour. If it felt anything like that and anyone feels short-changed, that's on Quildan, not New Japan. If New Japan were making a serious push for traction here, they wouldn't have booked a date when some big name talent were elsewhere and they'd be doing it under their own banner rather than a partner. I agree that the way it was set up made me initially think this would be a bigger deal than it is, but again, that's Andy Q misfiring, not New Japan not putting everything into cracking a new market. The point about "champions," I'll be honest, means fuck all to me. Going for the great wrestlers and their matches on a stage like this, not to see shiny props. I'm ecstatic that Okada is wrestling a short public transport ride from my house, that he's lost the title is completely irrelevant to me. The promotion for it indicated it was an actual NJPW tour though. 'Strong Style Evolved' kinda gave that impression. They have even said in twitter posts that this is NOT a Rev-Pro/NJPW tour but may have some RPW talent on them. I may be wrong but the whole way it was promoted gave us a wrong impression.

And you try telling the kids of today that, and they won’t believe you I remember seeing a show in Margate once that had the actual Bushwhackers, Skinner and Marty Jannetty! It was the most star-studded event the Winter Gardens had ever seen! Couldn't believe it! It was like WrestleMania had come to our shitty little rundown, derelict seaside town.

Paid Members Supremo Posted June 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2018 I love Pete Dunne’s story on Talk is Jericho about seeing “The Dudley Boy,” at a shitty UK show. “All he had was camo trousers.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have it wrong but I think @JNLister once saw a “Dudley” have a TLC match at a UK show, then saw him on the same bus home after the show.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2018 Going back to guessing at what the Wrestle Kingdom card will be, I'm predicting a semi-main event of Kota Ibushi vs. Kenny Omega, with Ibushi winning G1. It's the match that they have both been working towards for years, and it'll finally be the right time to do it, and would be a compelling story to see how, after all the effort getting them back together, their relationship will hold up to the strain of having to fight each other for the championship. It feels like a logical next step in the Golden Lovers story. That does leave Okada potentially out of the loop, but there's no way they don't have a huge match planned for him, and I don't think it'll be a World Title match. I can see him potentially facing off with Jericho if he's still around, or else them having another big name up their sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil and Sanada Jay White (c) Vs. Juice Robinson Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay Vs. Tetsuya Naito and Bushi Kenny Omega (c) Vs. Cody Oof, that San Fran card isn't very inspiried. The first Cody/Omega match was over-long and underwhelming & White/Juice does nothing for me. Oh well, there's a big audience for that 'Be The Elite' stuff so I'm sure it'll still fill some seats. I'm looking forward to the 17th as they're announcing the participants of the G1. Hoping for Ospreay to make the leap up a weight class to join, and a couple of outsiders too (Sekimoto or Mike Bailey would do nicely). Also, Honma is returning at one of these cards in a 10-man tag.
