I was expecting Evil to take the belt, makes a new star and gives us a new match up for Evil and the IC title in the process for Wrestle Kingdom, Naito/Jericho doesn’t need a belt attached.

Even if it doesn't need the belt (and in my eyes it makes more sense) - you aren't having Jericho go into the co-main/third from the top against Naito, coming off of a defeat against one of Naito's lackeys. Unless you want to do the LIJ split story of EVIL being able to beat Jericho but Naito being unable to, but that just isn't happening.

Pretty much what most expected. Slightly surprising to have the jr tag as a three way considering we just had that match and Sho and Yoh’s tag league win was essentially pointless. But I’m for it, will be fun.

Still hoping for Ibushi vs Ospreay if Will is good to go.

I had figured if Goto is still open champ then Ibushi  will beat him at WK. 

However must say the card so far looks pretty good.

Unfortunately it isn’t, it’s a parody tweet from an LIJ interview where they slipped out leaving New Japan officials to pay the bill.

Could you imagine though?

They’ve announced the World Tag League teams, like the Jr league it will just be the one block instead of two this year, top two meet in the finals.

Togi Makabe and Toa Henare

Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima

Yuji Nagata and Manabu Nakanishi

Evil and Sanada

Zack Sabre Jr and Taichi

Davey Boy Smith Jr and Lance Archer

Minoru Suzuki and Takashi Iizuka

Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa

Hangman Page and Yujiro Takahashi

Chuckie T and Beretta

Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano

Michael Elgin and Jeff Cobb

David Finlay and Juice Robinson

Ayato Yoshida and Shota Umino 

 

Evil and Sanada was quite easy to call for the winners last year but at this point it’s a tough one, I could see either ZSJ and Taichi, Evil and Sanada or KES picking up the win, possibly even another 3 way tie.

My ZSJ, Taichi pick has been cancelled.

He’s facing Tomohiro Ishii for the Rev Pro belt at Wrestle Kingdom

The Rev Pro belt is basically the Iwgp European title. Don't see a non new Japan wrestler getting it for a long time. I think by putting the tag belts on Suzuki Gun they will struggle to get them off.

For the month of December is NJPW world worth subscribing to, for a casual fan. Been subscribed since Jan 2018 and it just seems December is the quiet before the storm (WRESTLE KINGDOM)

Trust me, you won't enjoy Tag League.
