Don't forget that 3 hours before this starts, Dragon Gate have a huge show from Kobe World Hall! (Which has a couple of absences because of COVID sadly. No Shuji Kondo or Jason Lee, less fussed about no Ultimo Dragon)

From a purely selfish perspective I really wish that this show was just all WTL matches then all BOSJ matches or vice versa because I do not have it in me to care about a tag tournament with 3 Bullet Club teams & no room for a Dad team like Kojima & Nagata. As it I guess i'll watch the whole thing because it's a Sunday but man, Ishii in a match opposite Fale, Takagi opposite EVIL, it's like Gedo wanted to get the tournament started with the opposite of a bang. A big wet fart of a whimper

Happy to see Henare back though, & with Tana at that. Tekkers are always good value & I'm sure them vs Goto & Hashi will be good. And the BOSJ side looks mostly fun, main will rock. But I can't get excited to watch Bullet Club related stuff when their matches have been more ruined by the same couple of cheating spots being run into the ground for the last 4 months. So I think I will skip a lot of the WTL nights.

There was TJPW and DDT this morning, a NOAH show that was taped today but gets uploaded on the 17th and a DDT show taped tomorrow and uploaded on the 18th. And then a TJPW show live on Friday. And the big DDT singles tournament starts next week I think and the huge NOAH show a week Sunday with Go vs Nak.

Burn Down Canberra: Oct 27, 2005; GAME PLANS? We don't need no stinking game plans.

Its a shame bosj got so impacted by covid. Hopefully my boy Robbie can have a good showing. I think his best opportunity is him or SHO get a pin on despy to set up a potential junior tag match but I think that will probably be gooch or wato. SHO is too handsome to miss a WK though so hmmmm

He has an interview on the website. He calls DOUKI a "dangerous dude"

https://www.njpw1972.com/84868

quote:

�He�s been mentored by Hiroyoshi Tenzan through this process. Is there a figure that�s taken you under their wing behind the scenes?

Robbie: Not in BULLET CLUB so much, because everyone was out for themselves, but in CHAOS, Tomohiro Ishii was really good for me leading up to that NEVER 6-Man title match we had. After every match on the tour he kept raising my arms and motioning for a belt around my waist. I felt like a small child when he was doing that to me (laughs).

�Haha! Sometimes we talk with our subtitlers that it feels like Wato is a teenage son embarrassed by his dad constantly supporting him.

Robbie: But Ishii would take me out to dinner after those cards, just me and him, or me him and Okada, and that showed that he saw something in me. He gave me a ton of advice as well, and I�m sure it�s the same with Tenzan and Wato.

Ishii is great

So I've watched a couple of Robbie matches from this year. He's been a bit more heelish in Australia lately and he wrestled a match in the Philippines for a title over there and I could actually see some Ishii influence in his wrestling. Not a bad bloke to get advice from.

That match in the Philippines was the best match I've seen live this year... and everyone just loved him

This is a tag tournament consisting of three tag teams and then a bunch of randomly thrown together duos. It's like the jobber side of an episode of Dark.
