I would two things from New Japan in 2017. Honma to win a title and keep it for a little while. Shibata vs Suzuki.

Honma beat(s) his depressed wife and believed it was in his right to do so. Guy is probably close to Benoit levels of hosed up from brain trauma

I thought current champions weren't supposed to compete in the NJ Cup, since the entire point is you can challenge for whatever belt you want when you win

Okada and Naito are gonna have prominent places on the poster as they're big stars. Wouldn't necessarily read too much into that.

Well it's also 3 guys from each of the main factions minus Suzuki Gun which makes sense if the poster was made before New Years Dash.

I wonder what Kota Ibushi's going to be doing moving forward. Ibushi/Omega seems like a money feud in NJPW but I think he's still wrestling's Buddhist Monk and intent on.....Doing whatever it is he plans on doing with his career.

I think Ibushi's a bit of a lost cause at this time. He doesn't seem to want the big spotlight (because he most certainly could have had it upon returning from his injuries a while back), and I don't think the Tiger Mask W stuff is going to turn into anything more than him just goofing off in a mask. Maybe one day they run with the Omega match, but I don't think it's a priority for Ibushi to have that marquee match at this moment.

RealFoxy posted:I wonder if Bullet Club will take a break for a while and come back, emphasizing Kenny Omega's comment about him wanting to take NJPW Global and becoming a more tweener faction after Suzuki Gun mop up CHAOS I mean I only just started watching for WK11 but the commentary seemed to be hinting at a split, which would continue the nWo references I guess. Omega/Cole/Young Bucks and Fale/Page/GOD honestly feel like they should be two distinct entities in terms of the ways they act and present themselves.

There was also a clip on youtube where they teased Cole being the cause of the Elite splitting up (or throwing him out).

I highly doubt Ibushi will wear the Lion Mark ever again but if he can freelance as a cartoon character I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him return for a program with Omega.

Well 5 days is nowhere near enough time to spend in Tokyo, I already want to go back (if for nothing else but the heated toilet seats + use of Suica card everywhere.) I had an amazing time, checked out the njpw shop and toudokan (and met Cheeseburger there!) as well as all the usual nerdy anime poo poo. My WK11 seat from only a few in from the barrier so I could see all the rumble people entering, and some of the losing people exiting (aside from Naito! So happy he came our way instead.) Here was my view: There were tons of cosplayers around, I saw a pretty good Tana, Yano, lots of Gedos and BUSHI's. This was the only other SANADA I saw on the way out. I cannot recommend going to Japan enough for this, I managed to get a ticket for NYD in the end and the atmosphere for the return of Suzuki gun was unreal! I also spent 8000 yen on a Naito bear, no regrets. And this happened, I was both terrified and excited: Anyway I can't wait too see Okada/Suzuki + Shibata/Ospreay (poss. for the RPW title is Shibata Retains.) and also need to go back and watch WK11 + NYD on njpwworld, need to see if Hiromu + KUSHIDA really did look like two men trying to murder one another live. Willninho posted:Is MiSu back worth having Iizuka, Taichi and Kanemura? The eternal question. That terrifying thought of seeing any of these v Bone Soldier. But still yes, cos it's Minoru Suzuki and he's a god drat badass.

I was there 11 days and barely scratched the surface of Tokyo (and a quick day trip to Kyoto), I can't wait to go back it's an amazing country. Very similar seat to what I got, though mine was right next to the barricade so I got to be right up close to see everybody coming and going (I got to touch Nakamura!). Glad you had such a good time, I can't recommend it enough to everybody else to go.
