How many times will Okada and Naito defend their poo poo before the Dome? Once at Destruction and once at KoPW?

I figure we'll get Okada/EVIL for sure, wouldn't surprise me if we also get Okada/SANADA with the idea that Naito is getting LIJ to soften up Okada, which he didn't have the last time they met at Wrassle Kingdome for the belt.

Naito lost to Ishii and Fale so you've got those two matches for the case.

Kenny lost to Juice/BIG MIKE so there's two natural defenses for the US title. He could also defend against Jay Lethal at ROH as well.

Tana needs to drop the IC belt to ZSJ and then get his arm repaired. He should have one more match in 2017.

MiSu lost to BIG MIKE/Kenny/EVIL/YTR and drew with Okada. Assuming Okada and Kenny are busy, you could have the other three challenge for the NEVER. Let YTR have the first crack at Misu ('s nuts) while EVIL and BIG MIKE get their respective shots potentially. A NEVER reign would be a good reward for EVIL's strong G1 showing imo.

Tana dropping to ZSJ and then Zack defending against Ishii sounds good. Zack and Ishii are 1-1 this year, so a rubber match for a title seems like a solid bet.

Tanahashi didn't forego surgery to not go into the Dome as champion.

he ain't dropping to zsj but i could see him dropping it to ibushi to lead to an ibushi/omega semi-main

That tag match definitely gave me the feeling that Suzuki vs. Big Mike is happening.

Also they basically outright said Tanahashi's dropping to ZSJ on commentary which makes me think Tanahashi's probably not dropping to ZSJ.

Today was an important lesson. I'm still on vacation and after driving for a few hours and playing local tour guide I finally had time to myself so I jumped ahead to watch the finals. 45 minutes left on the video, that should work.

...I jumped right into the victory speech... :smith:

Twitters sleuthers found that the text is from a book entitled American Star so it is clearly CM Punk.

For real though, even though the title wouldn't match, I hope it is Jay White. He's been on excursion for awhile and he's ready. He also looks like a serial killer right now.

they're filming a movie on the 45 years of NJPW and (based on that haircut and the casting of Okada, Makabe and Taguchi along with Tanahashi) that they might get some of the current wrestlers to play some of the older guys, and in the '70s they weren't exactly going with super long not-black hair like that. the Twitter link goes to details on signing up to be an extra for some shooting too.

I never watched a match and though "man, this guy could work so much better if had a stuffed cat" either and that didn't stop me from crying myself to sleep when Daryl was callously murdered and it won't stop me from crying myself to sleep now that Tanahashi's flowing locks have been murdered either.

I think he's the serial masturbator protagonist for some anime adaption. Cowboy Beatoff or something.
