Why January 4?

It's usually the last or one of the last days off of the New Years holiday period. I've heard from coworkers that it's the first day since Dec 31 that husbands can get away from family ;)

NJPW tl;dr if there's an event on a weird day it's probably a Japanese holiday.

[Edit] forgot what I'd wanted to post, which is that Minoru Suzuki is sure tweeting like a man strapping on his boots at the Dome. Could be a surprise in the Rumble, or more.

I was thinking he'd show up at New Year's Dash since in recent years they've finished up storylines at the Dome and waited until Korakuen the next day to really develop new ones. A Rumble appearance would own tho

My fantasy booking: he blows through the Rumble and shows up to Korakuen all pissed off and still able to go.

Is it this hat? Or is it another one new for WK?

Korakuen is only like 30 minutes away by car. He could be leaving now :unsmith:

Tokyo traffic is not to be hosed with though :gonk:

I hope I'm wrong! And I'm looking forward to watching WK the next few days too.

Thread might be winding down soon but can we all please keep an eye on prowrestlingtees or whatever NJPW merch outlets for that Suzuki-gun jumper. Holy poo poo I need that jacket.

I'll go to Piledriver (Suzuki's shop) in Tokyo for you but the package will be wrapped in green and yellow :colbert: #goducks

Wait, can you buy merch from Japan in general?

I live in the Tokyo area and have gotten stuff for goons before. If you're really dead serious about getting something I can be PMd.

Just finished watching the whole thing. Holy god that main event earns everything. And I need to go back and compare, but I don't remember the Dome getting that loud in any of the past main events -- considering how big the place is, it must have been ear-shattering by the end of Okada vs. Omega.

never mind the Rainmaker counters, this time it was all about the One Winged Angel counters. Excellent work by both on those.
