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.

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.

(IWGP Jr. Title): KUSHIDA v Hiromu Takahashi

(IWGP I.C Title): Tetsuya Naito v Hiroshi Tanahashi

(IWGP Title): Kenny Omega v Kazuchika Okada

 

Full card in Japanese here:

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.
