New Japan's Anniversay show is late tonight/early tomorrow morning Eastern time. While not a full on crossover show as some were hoping after Yokohama Arena they did take legitamate steps to make this feel special. Four names from New Japan's past are appearing on this show in Tatsumi Fujiami, Yoshiaki Fujiwara, Shiro Koshinaka, and Minoru Tanaka. Stronghearts are also booked on the show in a trios match as T-Hawk and El Lindaman make their debut appearances in the company. If you're wondering about the traditional heavyweight champ vs. jr. champ match it's been moved to the first night of the New Japan Cup to make room for the legends' main event and they're doing a similar gimmick with the tag champs in the semi-main instead. Anniversary March 1st at 4:00 EST/9:00 GMT/18:00 JST Nippon Budokan Tiger Mask, YOH, and Ryohei Oiwa vs. House of Torture (EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, and SHO) Taichi, TAKA Michinoku, and Minoru Tanaka vs. Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale, Taiji Ishimori, and El Phantastmo #STRONGHEARTS (CIMA, T-Hawk, and El Lindaman) vs. Suzuki-gun (El Phantasmo, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, and DOUKI) Kojima, Nagata, Fujita, and Nakashima vs. United Empire (O-Khan, Ospreay, Cobb, and Henare) GBH, Ishii, Yano, and Shiro Koshinaka vs. L.I.J (SANADA, Naito, Shingo, Hiromu, and BUSHI) Special Tag Match:Bishamon (Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI) (IWGP Heavy Tag Champs) vs. Six or Nine (Ryusuke Taguchi and Master Wato)(IWGP Jr. Tag Champs) NJPW 50th Anniversary Special Match:Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Zack Sabre Jr, Minoru Suzuki, and Yoshiaki Fujiwara

The COVID booster has been rough so I'll be off work to watch this. Looking forward to seeing if Lindaman comes in with the G-Rex belt and if Comms acknowledge it

Having to fire up a VPN to use my NJPW World account because this show is only available on CS Asahi in Japan for some weird reason.

Just saw that message when I logged in, was trying to figure out why they'd do that but if it's airing on television live there I guess that is an explanation... not a good one, but an explanation nonetheless!

This was a pretty cool moment, and these guys have the same level of functioning knees as the NXT roster! Liger playing with Milano's dog

Was there a video or anything from Inoki or is his health so bad he can't even do that?
