Sure going to be a shame that this match will not happen after Jay White leaves New Japan after losing to Hikuleo on the 11th February.

He's leaving Japan, he didn't say anything about leaving New Japan :eng101:

Gedo: Now Kenoh, Naito has a bit he likes to do where he acts all excited and fanboyish about getting his opponent's merchandise, but in a mocking way. It's all in good fun though, so don't take it too persona-

The only time I watched NOAH was the Suzukigun period (which everyone hates, but I somehow liked. But then I've always liked cheating heel bullshit). I've got a Wrestle Universe subscription and haven't watched any NOAH on it yet, but I like the angle they seem to play up to that they're tough guys who take wrestling very very seriously, and won't tolerate the bullshit and silliness of the other Wrestle Universe brands or NJPW (while being unafraid to look a bit silly themselves)

i only got reallly into NJPW pretty much exactly when Suzuki gun showed up and me & friends would refer to him as “the sinister guy from NOAH”

obviously now I know he’s a legend but I was watching Japanese comms and just trying to interpret promo packages correctly

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I just found out that on Saturday the 4th of Feb NJPW is doing a show in Sapporo, (about an hour by train from where I live), AND in Melbourne, (where I was born).

I think it is a cool thing. Even though nobody I know back home gives even half a poo poo about Japanese wrestling and so probably won't go.

O-Khan’s stip won which means that his KOPW match with Shingo Takagi will be an MMA match with the number one contendership on the line

Tamashi is also a Fale/Fale dojo joint and um I can't imagine people are queueing to see him especially if they give half a poo poo about Japanese wrestling.

Would you go to a show that was 100% guaranteed to feature none of this talent?

Holy Christ I didn't realize that that was going to be the actual name of the stable, I thought Taka was using the phrase to just, like, describe what they were all about

Apparently last night was the debut episode of The Spirit, a Fuji TV show that appears to be NJPW's take on Tough Enough.

I hope this makes it to World at some point with English subs, I'd watch the hell out of it.
