New Japan has one of their biggest US shows since covid restrictions started tonight in a couple hours. Like many major US shows it's a PPV exclusive sadly though it will eventually be available for free for all world subscribers. You can buy it either on fite.tv or on NJPW world but I recommend the former as it's notably cheaper (US$19.99 vs. ¥2990 which is currently equivalent to about $24. Link to purchase and watch No Tana/Okada/etc... unlike the LA one last year but it's still a pretty solid card and the X vs. jay could potentially be very interesting in light of the supershow rumors. If you care about the unfolding BC drama I imagine we'll get some further development in that as well given Hikuleo's situation and the angle between him and Jay on last week's STRONG. WINDY CITY RIOT April 16th at 19:00 EDT/April 17th at 00:00 BST/8:00 JST (PPV ONLY) Odeon Expo Center, Chicago Dark Match:CHAOS(Rocky Romero and Wheeler Yuta) vs. Kevin Knight and the DKC LA Dojo (Clark Connors, Yuya Uemura, and Karl Fredericks) vs. The Factory (QT Marshall, Mr. Freakbeast, and Aaron Solow) Dickinson, Narita, Coughlin, J.

Gonna buy this show cause I know Suzuki is gonna be extra ornery thanks to losing to Joe and take out on Ishii which will just make Ishii more mad

Sitting in the very long line and missing the Yuta match, tragic. Still very happy!

One of the big issues the US shows always has is the production feels so lackluster and it really stands out when the Japan stuff is arguably some of the best camera work

between the bootleg streams getting suspended, putting this on fite.tv for $20, the production being awful, and it being opposite an aew special, im glad to see njpw continues to try to ensure as few people as possible watch this product and i can continue to pretend it doesnt exist rather than have to actually watch it

The picture quality is at least an improvement on the last show. Putting QT over a future IWGP champion is funny.
