RealFoxy posted:I wonder if Bullet Club will take a break for a while and come back, emphasizing Kenny Omega's comment about him wanting to take NJPW Global and becoming a more tweener faction after Suzuki Gun mop up CHAOS I mean I only just started watching for WK11 but the commentary seemed to be hinting at a split, which would continue the nWo references I guess. Omega/Cole/Young Bucks and Fale/Page/GOD honestly feel like they should be two distinct entities in terms of the ways they act and present themselves.

Huh, $2.2 million is WWE main eventer pay and would put him level with pretty much all the top guys there bar Cena and Lesnar if Forbes can be trusted. He'd be 6th in WWE for earnings between Rollins and The Big Dog.

Chris James 2 posted:Apologies for the error It makes me wonder what Nakamura was making and how much he gets for being in NXT. I think I remember hearing NJPW gave Okada a massive pay rise but Nakamura must still be NXT's top earner by a decent amount.

Venomous posted:that reminds me, I have a friend who's going to Japan in April, and I asked them to buy me an LIJ t-shirt from the New Japan shop b/c gently caress paying the shipping costs. I fit a UK medium, but is a Japanese medium anywhere close to that, or should I get a size up or down or whatever? I'm a UK medium but large tends to fit me better in Japan.

What was up with Sabre Jr. being listed as a member of Chaos in the opening graphic? It certainly made the ending more surprising for me. Also, I'm pretty sure that with the exception of that match, Kanemaru has now picked up the victory in every single match that Suzuki-gun has won since they came back. Of the ones shown on NJPW World at least. rovert posted:I posted here a month ago ZSJ is a Heavyweight in New Japan. I don't believe that has changed. So don't count on it. I'm not sure how privy Kevin Kelly is to future plans but he said on commentary something along the lines of "Sabre is stepping up in weight class for this match. He'll be a junior in NJPW."

Weird Hiromu didn't come out for that last segment and just got represented by his jacket and title sitting in the corner. I'd say I hope he didn't get hurt, but he looked okay running out of the ringside area after his match.

Thauros posted:He wouldn't have pinned Goto in a match with three CHAOS juniors one night after pinning Shibata if he wasn't going to be a heavyweight. Yes, the NEVER title is technically openweight but they'd never debut a junior that way. have any juniors even actually challenged for that belt? Wikipedia says Masato Tanaka was the lightest champion. rovert posted:To be fair NJPW did a faction swerve with Zack this might be similar. Was that deliberate then? I just assumed whoever made the graphic thought all skinny Brits were the same and mixed him up with Ospreay.

I'm pulling for Juice but a second round match up against Suzuki or Shibata doesn't bode well for his chances barring some shenanigans from the loser of the first round match. At least he should beat Yujiro.

A Juice chant. Whatever city this is knows what's up. Is David Finlay a junior btw? The makeup of the teams would suggest he is, but he looks around the same size as Naito, Juice and Shibata.
