 The traditional big early April show at the Kokugikan resumes this year after 2020's was canceled due to the pandemic. It's not the stacked card it used to be as the company has four or five more major non tournament shows from tomorrow until June 6th. Two Kanto stadium shows are taking the place the BOSJ used to occupy in the schedule between Dontaku and Dominion. It's still headlined by a huge match for the new world title which should deliver in ring tho many have been put off by Ospreay's real life behavior and a questionable angle at the end of the NJC Finals. There's also a jr tag title match featuring forum fave El Desperado and a new debut for the Empire unit in the midcard. Show should be good if you're someone who can enjoy Ospreay matches. SAKURA GENESIS April 4th at 4:00 EDT/9:00 BST/17:00 JST Ryogoku Kokugikan Suzuki-gun (Dangerous Tekkers and DOUKI) vs. Bullet Club (G.o.D and Jado) CHAOS (Okada, YTR, Goto, Ishii, and Y-H) vs. Bullet Club (EVIL, KENTA, Yujiro, Ishimori, and Togo) L.I.J (Tetsuya Naito, SANADA, and Shingo Takagi) vs. United Empire (Great-O-Khan, Jeff Cobb, and X) Hiroshi Tanahashi and Satoshi Kojima vs. Bullet Club (Jay White and Bad Luck Fale) IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Championship:Suzuki-gun(c) (El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru) vs. Roppongi 3K IWGP World Heavyweight Championship:Kota Ibushi(c) vs. Will Ospreay Thauros fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Apr 4, 2021 |

Sad how far New Japan has fallen where a show happens this morning and the GDT gets two replies.

I'm going to be watching this show tomorrow, seeing my family for Easter tonight but it should be good. Excited for X and Sho turning on Yoh, plus Kota/Will will most likely be excellent

I think YOH is more likely to turn against SHO, he's up to something!

I think there is a decent chance Ospreay wins.

Lily Catts posted:Go Despy and Nobu!! YOH came back and challenged for the belts on his own, presumably without consulting SHO who seems to have moved on from the Jr Tag Title scene while YOH was out. So there's some tension there. Besides that this looks a lot like a two-match show, but I'm confident that said matches will deliver. Also mildly curious to see who X is.

I can exclusively reveal that X, the new soldier in Will Ospreay's army, is Bob Sapp Honestly, if the Stardom show wasn't on fairly pricey PPV I'd probably watch it over Sakura Genesis because this card is not great. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Apr 4, 2021 |

I'm only half-watching as background noise just to see who X is and if Will/Kota can overcome the lovely build

I'm here to see if Henare turns out to be X. I hope not cause he makes a great fiery babyface but if he is then at least they're doing something with him so either way it's good

I don't think there's much doubt that Ibushi/Ospreay is going to be stellar from a purely in-right action perspective. And personally I'm just trying to ignore the build to it entirely.

My favourite thing about Oka is when he does promos without a mic because he's so drat loud.

The problem with doing what is effectively a one match card (no offense to YOH) is that it lives and dies on your attitude to the one match.

I still haven't seen Ospreay turning on Bea & fully intend to keep that streak up so have just muted & tabbed away from the stream until this opening video is over & I can hear the sweet dulcet tones of Milano Collection AT

Oh, did anyone see that Hiromu put up a Youtube video covering him finding out his injury & surgery & recovery? It's worth watching & is subtitled into English.
