Full Resurgence card looks good and my pin board theory of the Young Bucks being HoT adjacent still holds water drat it

Gonna miss it live cause going to Collision in Vancouver though and I do wish they had picked a different date for the NJPW show cause I wanted ELP at least for an ROH match

I've basically given up on AEW again because I've just run out of time, but wouldn't that also make Okada HoT adjacent? That's funny.

Despy can do what the gently caress he likes with House of Torture so long as we get him & Jun Kasai in a deathmatch again, either as partners or as opponents. Always good for a 10 top on my MOTY list

Gabe Kidd just did the funniest thing at All Together. Continuing the trend of Kaito Kiyomiya getting humiliated on big stages, the War Dogs beat him down after the main event, Gabe challenged for the GHC Heavyweight belt then walked out of the arena with it. Just another day at the office for the madman

Okay, kinda don't really get what the point of that whole losing the belt, then almost immediately regaining it back was, but then Finlay does absolutely nothing for me as leader of the Bullet Club so I'm not the target audience here :shrug:

Bit late and I'm kicking myself for not realising sooner: it's almost definitely not the original plan. But Nemeth just won the AAA title and NJPW plus AAA guys...

I think it probably was the plan but tanahashi getting injured meant they had to go the long way around. It was originally going to be nemeth v tanahashi at sakura genesis. They probably agreed to two dates in Japan post the 2 at new beginning (which would be 5 in total which sounds about right) with Nemeth and that's why they didn't replace the match on the card. Nemeth wrestling tanahashi I assume was part of the deal

Why did they do the title change ? Cause they like to move titles around like that

Also for those who didn't watch the New Japan Cup the last couple days, Finlay is out of the tournament due to being hospitalized before his match with Goto. Apparently he was having very bad vision issues, which is pretty unsettling. Hope he is okay.

In today's Observer Dave said he had neck swelling that compressed an artery and blocked blood flowing to his brain, causing dizziness and the vision issues :stare: Thankfully/obviously he's recovered and been cleared since, but jesus. Rough year of close calls for War Dogs

NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Eddie Kingston defends against Gabe Kidd in a No Ropes Last Man Standing match
NEVER Openweight Champion Shingo Takagi defends against Yuya Uemura
NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer defends against Alex Windsor
NJPW World Television title: Jeff Cobb defends against Lance Archer
NJPW Strong Tag Team Champion TMDK (Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste) defends against Guerillas of Destiny (El Phantasmo and Hikuleo)
Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Zack Sabre Jr.
Tetsuya Naito & Yota Tsuji vs. KENTA & David Finlay
Tom Lawlor & Fred Rosser vs. Jorel Nelson & Royce Isaacs
The DKC, Rocky Romero, and Tomohiro Ishii vs. Jack Perry, Ren Narita, and EVIL
Kickoff: Mustafa Ali vs. Lio Rush
Kickoff: Matt Vandagriff vs. Adrian Quest

I do wish they'd mix up the tag division, but I've been saying that more or less since I started watching.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
drat that’s an early show. Rare NJPW I can’t watch because of the NBA.

Hoping to catch Resurgence if I can, the card looks great, wish it wasn't on at the same time as Collision thought.

Anyways, Night 1 of BOSJ starts in just under an hour! Stream is currently running though just doing the soundchecks and playing their in-house ads at the moment.

NJPW World PPV, which means an extra $20 even though the big events in Japan come with the $10 monthly subscription.

The Resurgence main card starts at 7 so you'll only miss Rampage or the early matches on the PPV though I'm missing this live as I'm going to Collision live

I just finished up BosJ night one, and although there was nothing spectacular it was an easy watch. Enjoyed the Main event and semi main a lot, and the finishing sequence of the semi was great. Surprised to find that TJP vs. Kevin Knight was my MotN though!

It will be interesting to see how this year is booked. There are at least three possible redemption storylines with Hiromu, DOUKI, and KUSHIDA, but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes in a different direction. Preferably one which highlights Fujita - that German suplex was perfection!

I didn't even notice Wato had been missing until it was mentioned on commentary.
