Though isn't Tanahashi legit injured and in need of time off soon, or did I imagine that?

Been that way since he got the belt, yep

Won't get it because it'd have him out for half the year, which would have him miss Wrestle Kingdom

Matt Riddle is not on the New Japan Tag League tour after all...The story is that Riddle had been in talks to do the tour and it was just about a done deal, but before being finalized, things changed. The belief is that Bushiroad, the New Japan parent company, found out about his UFC marijuana test positives

Jericho signs short term month deals when he feels like working house shows and that's been his thing for a while

Yeah, his last contracted appearance was that SD where he was hurt with the chair by Owens. The recent SD he did was a one time only thing

Yeah, Chris absolutely seems like the type who informed Vince of him going there at least after signing the contract, if not before

Dave talks about Jericho/Kenny in the Observer, basically confirming what was said by Satin (TL;DR Jericho saw the attention Floyd/Conor got and thought it was because it was 2 top guys in a fight fans never thought they'd see, he talked with Callis and things snowballed)

Notable is Dave says Kenny's contract is up Jan 31 again

quote:

but unlike last year, there’s little talk of him leaving.

Why does anyone think Jericho will have a bad match at the dome?

His most recent WWE run was great, but I can't remember a single match of it, just angles and segments and promos

Like so far this has been great and I expect that to continue the rest of the month/build! I'd just temper my expectations for the actual in-ring part

do i want to take friday the 5th off for new years dash

New Years Dash usually has good moments/surprises because it's the start of the new year of New Japan

Last year had the return of Suzukigun and Suzuki, the year before had Kenny kicking Styles out of Bullet Club/the company and going heavyweight
