kawato is really good. and he's basically a child. i really wonder what the next, like, 20 years are gonna hold for him. lij vs. r3k should be very good. it's a shame that hiromu's gonna chase the title, and i guess he's too good not to, but i'm really liking this team.

Thoughts on the 10/29 and 10/30 shows: Is Sho missing a front tooth now?? [Edit: I guess it's his mouthguard, he looked fine in the post match interview] Also, the japanese announcers for these last couple shows on NJPWworld seem different from the usual ones (With Milano Collection AT); why the change I wonder?

When they are taping for Samurai TV, the commentary is I guess reserved/paid for that broadcast. In early NJPW World, they used to just have no commentary on the shows even though you'd get the occasional shot of the commentary team. Now, I guess because NJPW World is doing well, they bring in their own commentary team. In Korakuen, it's the little table that is next to the wrestler entrance that's on the right side of the ring. My guess is that "Super Jr. Tag Tournament" will be a special on Samurai so they've had to use the alternate team for all the shows on the tour.

Full Power Struggle card is up and it looks fantastic. Other than the already announced matches and Omega/Beretta, The Young Bucks vs. Dragon Lee & Titan has the potential to be really great.

George Carroll has also promised a big announcement that's going to be revealed on the show which given his position could be NJPW USA related.

Any chance they do a deal like the G1, run a couple of Wrassle Kingdome lead-up shows in the US?

I expect the big announcement to be at WrestleKingdom but it's going to be very interesting what they decide to do. Do you do a multi-city tour and really test the fanbase, or do you try to do another weekend but at a bigger venue to control cost?

That bullrope match is going to be loving awesome. I know YTR's gimmick is comedy but I could see him somehow winning through shenanigans while actively being a loving tough son of a bitch.

Nah, no big acting stars that aren’t Ken Watanabe act in both domestic Japanese films/TV and Hollywood. And I’ve been on the periphery a bit but I’m excited to catch up ahead of Wrestle Kingdom and boy this weekend’s show looks like the place to do so.

I am left to wonder whether it is us who changed, or if YTR/Suzuki is just that much better this time around? Because the last time they had an extended feud, most hated it. I hated it. Did New Japan just wear us down?

For those of you that care, I found Tanahashi’s appearance in a Kamen Rider movie. He’s a gun wielding geneticist. http://www.jatoku.com/kamen-rider-heisei-generations-dr-pac-man-vs-ex-aid-ghost-with-legend-riders-english-subbed/

I like that even big deal guys like Kenny and Okada are still in stables so they can be in wild 4 man tag matches and such at any given time, no matter if they're a champion or not. NJPW is good stuff.

NJPW is good stuff. It makes sense. If you're a wrestler, why wouldn't you want to hang out, be friends, and have matches with a top star? And if you're a cool person, why wouldn't you want a bunch of friends?
