Even Ospreay can't get a good match out of Okada :(

Okada should beat him and win the belt with the money clip, the most devastating move in modern pro wrestling

I just think it's funny that New Japan crowned a British world champion after like 30 years of WWE people promising they'll be the first British champion and then never doing it.

uhhh Drew was champ for most of the past year

He was probably thinking,"Oh it's just one belt again? Cool I can care about that, guess I'll just turn being God back o-" and then Shingo showed up and his mind went straight back to:

Highly unfair. Okada and Iino had a great match against Brookes and Kojima.

Have to say, New Japan is really smart about their lovely booking decisions. They most times make sure to pull this poo poo just 4 days after people have just been billed for their World account, so they know people won't cancel because it would be a waste of money they already paid, and they believe by the time the next billing is coming up, people will have watched enough other stuff on World that they'll have forgotten about putting their lovely booking decisions.

The name United Empire is highly ironic as we no longer have an Empire and in ten years time, we probably won’t have a union either

Yeah, rainmaker should wear suits as much as possible

I hear that Billy Brexit, Willie Osprick, is champion now. Well, he's a young over wrestler, even if he's a prick.

This is me every single goddamn month. Wrestle Kingdom and the G1 are perfectly spaced apart for this to happen permanently

Jokes on you guys, I let my NJPW sub lapse for Wrestle Universe before the New Japan Cup.

I've been low on NJPW interest for a bit now and I might not cancel my sub because I still like being able to check in on things, but I might need to start giving more attention to Wrestle Universe at this point.

I'm certainly not going to cancel my sub, since I love basically everything else about New Japan APART from who their current Champion is, but I also can't recommend enough that you check out Wrestle Universe. The value for money is kind of insane, you get NOAH, DDT and (most importantly) TJPW all in one place.

I subbed last month and have picked at a few TJPW and DDT shows but not a ton. It's a little more cumbersome since there's no app I can use on my TV, but I can at least send the Firefox tab from my laptop/ phone to my Firestick which is super handy.

I really just need to get into the mindset of paying attention to the schedules at this point.

There's going to be a bunch of their shows dropping tomorrow and Wednesday on Wrestle Universe. Saturday's TJPW and DDT shows from Itabashi Green Hall tomorrow, then Sundays TJPW and BOYZ shows on Wednesday, then the Ganbare "Bad Education" show live on Wednesday morning.
