This definitely opens up more fresh main event options.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Spoiler Well, the hard part starts now. After failed or injury-laden star making attempts with EVIL, Ibushi and Ospreay, I'm hoping this one will stick. But it's going to be hard, the current roster situation doesn't feel like an easy star making environment...

Love-Wilcox Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Spoiler I just hope to God that they give him a good run with it, if not for him then for the credibility of the IWGP title.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The wrestler FKA Darren Young has signed and exclusive contract with the company, seems an odd choice but that may be because I just haven't seen him in what feels like forever. Was he in NWA or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised, I always thought he was a good fiery baby-face and he looks like he's proven himself to New Japan management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I hadn't watched any Strong shows, I've kinda soured on the company as a whole the past couple of years so only pick and choose the odd match these days. But yeah he always seemed like a solid hand back in WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Decided to dip into New Japan again for the dome show. Wish I hadn't bothered. Nothing wrong with the actual wrestling but everything else felt uninspired to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TildeGuy~! Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 The fans only being allowed to politely clap for everything really turned me off the product(obviously a good reason for that happening) The emotion you get from the fans in New Japan really is something else and keeps you invested in a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what the reasoning behind running the Tokyo Dome was but imo the show would have worked better in a smaller venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted July 26, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2021 They booked it at a point when they were expecting to be allowed up to 50% capacity. They probably had no expectation of coming anywhere near that, but pretty much every decent-sized indoor arena in Tokyo is out of action for nearly 2 months for the Olympics/Paralympics. If they wanted to run any shows in Tokyo that could draw more than 1,500 (50% capacity at Tokyo Dome City Hall), they had to run a stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 31, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2021 I thought it was a good show. They had me with some of those false finishes in the main. Shingo Vs Ibushi will be a heck of a match. Shingo Vs Evil probably less so. I want to see him against Jeff Cobb, and I'm looking forward to Cobb Vs Okada again. I was disappointed my boy Yano didn't win the Rumble, especially with the heelish manner in which it happened. My mate tagged me in thus meme though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
