NJPW World

That's great, thank you.

So glad that Bushi has been given the chance for a run with the Junior Heavyweight title, I think he has been awesome this year. Also it means another champion at Global Wars UK.

I don't know what spoiler rules are here but hearing that gave me both a sense of happieness and annoyance that when I get round to that it won't be a surprise now.

 

Incredible news nonetheless

I've said it before, I'll say it again ; the spoilers rules for this thread should be - if you dont want the latest New Japan results spoiled for yourself, dont visit the New Japan thread. It's not hard.

I completely forgot the show was last night/today. My own silly fault really, came in to see more details about the tour if there were any (with RPW really should have just checked their thread) and got grabbed by that instead ha. In fairness I think while I'd have been shocked by the result it's still gonna be fantastic to watch knowing how hard he's worked.

Sadly I don't have time to watch nearly enough NJPW to justify keep my subscription. I've given it a Google but I'm none the wiser. How do I cancel my sub? I expect I'll sign back up for Wrestle kingdom but realistically I've watched probably 5 or 6 shows since signing up in January.

Thanks for that. I was lost without it.

NOAH's been purchased by a Japanese I.T company. Not entirely random from what I can gather. The purchaser was involved with All Japan management at some point. Seems he'll be President with Taue serving in an advisory capacity. How or if that'll affect the NJPW relationship isn't clear. Not watching any current Puro myself, so couldn't really care less.

Haven't followed New Japan since August, but I gather these are the main matches for WK. If anyone has the rest of the card, please add to:

 

(IWGP Jr. Title): KUSHIDA v Hiromu Takahashi
(IWGP I.C Title): Tetsuya Naito v Hiroshi Tanahashi
(IWGP Title): Kenny Omega v Kazuchika Okada

I don't really follow NJPW, but that seems to me to be an extraordinary number of westerners on the show.  I wonder what the average NJPW fan makes of having about half of the wrestlers on the show being non Japanese?

I pretty much hate it. Matches 2, 4 and 5 can go fuck themselves. Could be worse, Billy fucking Gunn was working there last time I looked. Top half of the card's decent enough though.
