They're all going to say congratulations Rarity we're happy for you and then agree that now SANADA is champ there's no need for him to ever defend the belt and he's the best forever

Wish I knew Sakura Genesis was live only or there’s something up with the replay, because I can’t get the show at all in English on NJPW World (because Japan) and they only have the backstage and main event. Weird.

When I watched it live on World, it said,"Only available outside of Japan" so I assume you wouldn't have been able to watch it live either, and I guess there's a window with TV Asahi before they're allowed to put up the VOD?

Dominion is the finals of the mini-bracket, not an Omega defense. But based on the design of that graphic it sure seems like whoever wins at Dominion will get their shot at Omega at Forbidden Door

Well, giving the belt to Sanada is... Mhnf. I have thoughts.

1)Lotta Sanada fans who have struggled for years in these threads, so congrats to you all.
2)I'm pretty sure Sanada isn't in my top 10 of guys in this company I want to see with the big championship, and I legitimately can't think of an opponent he's had that I liked seeing him against other than Okada and Zack.
3)On the other hand, a Sanada reign all but guarantees an eventual Zack/Sanada match that will likely exceed everything else they've done, somehow, and that hypes me more than any championship program since Shingo had the belt
4)Maybe this (and a not only having two awful finishers) is what Sanada needs to be cool, and he seems like a cool guy with silly dogs, so gently caress it, maybe he turns things around.
5)Somewhat annoyed Taichi got a faction and then some nerd joins his faction late and immediately wins the title.
6)lol Goto.

It's not that kind of test.
SANADA also has interesting possible matchups with Shingo, Naito, and Ospreay, as well as Shota and Ren if he holds the belt in the longer term.

Did I miss a show or are they brushing off Hiromu defending against Nobu before he can challenge?

New Japan have uploaded Battle in the Valley on YouTube:

We have had plenty of PPV matches, but is this the first time they uploaded an entire PPV on YouTube? Don't think I've seen them do that before.

Haven't been keeping up with NJPW since last year's G1, just finished watching Sakura Genesis and I'm so, so, so glad Sanada won the belt :unsmith:. Been a fan since I started watching, and as much as I loved LIJ as it was when I started watching I'm glad he's found success regardless.

It's an actual crime that Taichi has never even had an IWGP title match. This loser SANADA got (just) five chances, no wonder he's bound to win one of them

The event seems to be going up on NJPW World piecemeal. The Road To events from the 2nd and 3rd are up, and they're putting individual matches from Sakura Genesis up one-by-one. The Okada vs Sanada main event is available on there, and the ZSJ vs Shooter match just went up this morning (Match 6 and Match 9. Nice.).
