I've gone from being the wrestling weirdo in my house to getting all of my roommates into NJPW. they're all really hyped up for it. My girlfriend has started telling me she's gonna kick my rear end on January 4th at Wrestle Kingdom 12 at the Tokyo Dome.

Bros, we're almost literally one week away. To pass the time and accentuate my hype I'm watching past WKs. There are many great moments and memories that we should relive, and to kick things off I wanted to share not just one of my favorite matches ever, but maybe the last truly great call by JR. Skip to 49 minutes.

E: Don't think I can inbed and couldn't find the JR call on Youtube.

Latest WON says that as of a couple days ago they were closing in on 40k out. Could be that paid attendance tops out around 35k, but between papering and walk-ups 50k in the building is in play this year.

Anyone who is a WO subscriber should check out the Kenny Omega interview. All of the ones he does with WO are really interesting and insightful but I found these points particularly fascinating:

- He's kept in the dark on match results until right before, which he's mentioned in other interviews, but so are Okada and Naito, which kind of surprises me. He thinks that Gedo's brain trust is Tanahashi, Liger and maybe Nagata.

- Long Beach was more exhausting than the G1s, and this year's G1 was harder than last year.

- He and Ibushi have been approached a handful of times about doing a match but have turned it down, noting that he feels it needs to be bigger than a one-off. More interesting is his theory that NJ hasn't seen it as the big match that most of us do, but he speculates that the company's thinking is evolving on this.

- Matches he wants the most: Ibushi (in the right circumstance), Tanahashi (one last big singles), Naito (including a whole program), and Bullet Club guys.

my guess is that this year's big NYD angle is going to be a Bullet Club split, because yeah the hinting was as blatant as his Ishii answer was on that interview he did during his "hiatus"
