KENTA vs Kanemaru (first time since Destiny 2005) and Big Boss Sugi vs Go for Budokan. They really need a good attendance for this, what else do you think they'll pull out? Is Marufuji gonna be healthy in time for this?

No way is Marufuji back after just 2 months.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Kojima get fed another midcarder. Or they could do something like Sasaki/Morishima vs Kojima/Yoshie. That would be fun.

Taue vs Akiyama
http://theditch.biz/TaueVsAkiyama1-20-97.avi

One of the best two or three matches under 10 minutes in the history of the company. It's a remarkably 'complete' match, and does a good job continuing the story of the '96 tag final (GO SEE THAT IF YOU HAVEN'T YET)


Kobashi vs Misawa, Triple Crown
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9FNCKVD6

The 'consensus' pick as their best match against each other, and a big step up from what they'd done to date. Great strategy from Kobashi, one of the more epic finishing runs ever, this is must-see.

He's currently working for the biggest company in Japan, he went through that company's dojo, the company in question has a fully operational junior heavyweight division for which he's being built up as a future pillar and of which he's currently holding both belts.

New Japan also seems quite high on Davey Richards, he's facing Kanemoto in his 20th Anniversary match on the next PPV.

Why? He loves the wacky poo poo, I saw him beat somebody in one of their anywhere matches of the past. I can't remember where it was technically set, but it ended with dick solemnly canoeing down a river with his passed out opponent in the boat with him.

Oh that reminds me, in terms of other wackiness at Ice Ribbon's 9/21 show The Great Kojika, Riho and Mr. 6 are going to defend their various trios titles against Miyako Matsumoto, Jun Kasai and Jaki Numazawa. I hope to god that is as awesome as the the Miyako/Kasai vs. Nanae/Shimouma vs. GENTARO/Yano match was.

Also more campsite pro wrestling! And with YOSHIHIKO! I can only hope there's something as great as HARASHIMA driving a truck.

Although what's with the title? Is it just a random wacky DDT title or do they not plan on doing anymore campsite matches after this?

Pretty much he makes more money in NJ, is treated with more respect, has options in Japan to work elsewhere and being the greatest Junior Heavyweight in Japan is a better career goal than getting a concussion during a Money in the Bank ladder match you'll never be booked to win.

Not even close position-by-position. The question is, where on the totem pole would Devitt be in WWE? And I'm thinking... not any higher than Low Ki. Also, maybe WWE would pay more, but how much of that would be wrestling two or three times as often? Per show, NJ could be far ahead.
