Is it possible the NOAH/TNA relationship only exists for Angle and maybe Joe since it is doubtful AJPW could afford Angle with the rates TNA wants?

Because I really doubt NOAH is going to send anyone of value to TNA.

TNA might get to do the KENTA/Daniels match they promised me.

If TNA thinks Tanahashi is worth bringing over I can't see them not wanting KENTA and Marufuji.

I've been a Giant Bernard fan for about a year now. He works well in his role.

Bernard is pretty awesome in NJ now. He's booked very well. Tomko is too, but he's no where near as good. It surprises me he got the pin on Tenzan.

In other news:

quote:

Tokyo Sports reports that New Japan dojo graduate, Chris Benoit, may make a special appearance soon, possibly challenging Nagata for the IWGP Heavyweight Title. The WWE superstar has made it clear that he would like to return to his "second home" for one of the 35th anniversary shows, and Johnny Ace is apparently positive towards letting it happen. This news comes at the same time as Antonio Inoki's IGF hinting that it will run Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle on its debut show for Lesnar's "IWGP Heavyweight Title". The New Japan side is refusing to be drawn into a war of words with IGF at this point, though.

I'd doubt either actually happening, but both sound very interesting.

We can always hope.

In Japan when a wrestler is blindsided do the announcers refer to it as a pearl harbour?

Also your claim that Kawada/Kikuchi vs CanAm is not super great is obviously wrong. Stuff like this really makes me wonder why Kikuchi never hit it big. He's been involved in some awesome tag matches, but he seemed to disapear for about a decade.
