Very critical of ROH but they've handled Jay well.

Expect to see a renewed push of the Tempura Boyz in terms of getting them a lot more US bookings on local indies.

I'd assume Kelly/Striker again. Or maybe even the AXS team.

Neither. Someone good though.

He's Matt Striker/Joey Styles-lite

Hope I don't get heat from OFFICE.

Yes that's a SHOOT.

He hid this one for a while bless him. Doesn't want to be known as a WWE wash out. From all accounts was set to win the tag belts.

Same but that is what he has told people.

At least Devitt was shredded and had a bodyguard/faction.

Sabre joining Suzuki-gun is a nice shot in the arm. Hoping for a TAKA/ZSJ team in Jr. /Division/Tourneys.

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.

Thauros posted:

Yeah, I'd personally rather see him as a junior but the fact that they put him over a semi-protected heavyweight however dirty it was plus the fact that Suzuki-gun has four juniors already definitely supports that.

No one was more initially shocked than me.

But I first became aware of Zack as this guy following Devitt around on a trip to Ireland. So I've only ever seen him through the eyes as someone who is following in Devitt's footsteps even just wrestling in Japan. So years on from that point I can't only view this as Zack as reaching his heel Devitt Bullet Club phase of his career. Which means that yeah I see Zack joining WWE in 2-3 years too.

No really. He gets ribbed about this a lot. But he's starting to put some more weight on, so maybe expect him to get bigger in the near future.

I somewhat in jest tweeted this:

For this New Japan run he has been strongly advised to work on his facial expressions.

This month is a very expensive month for Wrestling fans so this is a heads up budgeting wise the New Japan LA shows are set to go on sale very early April.

I'm confused. The site has tiers up to Row 17, but the arena can hold 13,500. Has anyone been there and how does that compute? This sounds like they're setting up for a thousand people...

Prices don't surprise me and they'll sell out the expensive ones no problem, but again, seems like they're shooting for a way smaller house unless I'm totally mistaken on how the arena is set up.

Or they are conservative initially.

George Carroll is a meticulous details man I am sure there's very good reason.

I figured JUICE was getting a push since they did that 4 part mini doc about him. His dad seems like a really nice fella.

Backstage he is kind of like the new Karl Anderson. Not sure if he's the gaijin booker but he's the big man in the locker room and the bridge between the gaijin and native Japanese.
