IWGP USA Belt -

Not a huge fan of the design compared to the main belts. It reminds me of an old NWA belt in places but with the drat red strap

Also lol why you create more belts New Japan

Open the Freedom Gate at least looked like a Dragon Gate belt somewhat

It isn't for New Japan it is for New Japan USA a largely autonomous subsidiary.

I thought this would affect ROH a year ago but I think after this year ROH is indestructible and will keep chugging along no matter who leaves or what any competition is doing.

Belt is pretty cool, and a tournament to crown the first champion is a clever idea to make these shows matter a little more, so I'm on board PROVIDED I still get my big IWGP world title match with Omega vs. ???. Also fine with this being the main title in the subsidiary.

I just hope it doesn't effect the amount of actual Japanese NJPW people who will be wrestling in Long Beach.

Also I just moved to Long Beach and I learned that I can walk to the convention center in about 15 minutes so I'm pretty stoked for that.

Almost certain he'll be in, along with (ROH ppv related spoilers from tonight) Jay Lethal and Hangman Page. So far that's a decent set up for a fun couple nights, but I reiterate that we better still be getting some traditional style matches.

I expect the final to be Elgin/Robinson/Rhodes and I suspect either Elgin/Robinson will win.

And barring a huge clusterfuck I expect the belt to be hotter than any WWE title

Part of me wonders if the US title just exists so the midcard gaijin have something to fight for without having to book the ROH champ.

Yeah, what really made me commit to going was hearing that all the IWGP belts were going to be defended and that it would feel like a real New Japan PPV.

I wish they'd just do two US weekends a year instead of trying a full spinoff promotion and I.m gonna be disappointed if this whole weekend exists to put over Cody Rhodes (don't hate the guy, he's fine, but that's not who I'm paying too much money and flying cross country to see either)

you'll need to use a browser VPN like Hola to get around region restrictions.

I used Hola this morning and watched it ok. Took some refreshes and it killed my bandwidth though.

If you don't want to use shady VPNs that might gently caress with your internet speeds, just wait a couple weeks and it should be available to everyone
