Come together with your fellow goons and pray that Mutoh somehow loses the belt to the less popular member of the GHC Tag Champs. The old man has to put over one of the kids eventually, right? Unlike the New Japan card happening at the same time, something important might actually happen on this show.

Watch it with English Commentary on Wrestle Universe here
If for whatever reason you don't have Universe but still want it in English it's on Fite for $20USD
According to forkboy's schedule, it should be available on Abema for free with Japanese Commentary here but it's not on the site's timetable so I can't be sure

If you'd like to do some reading before the event, here is an in depth preview by Aiden O'Brien or a shorter one by Hisame

Just FYI it seems that Abema began to enforce region blocking, so you might not be able to watch the show without a VPN. The English commentary provided by Fulton and Pickering is pretty good if you're into more of a sports-like presentation and they keep bullshit down to a minimum.

If you're considering signing up for WrestleUniverse, be aware that like most of Japanese streaming services they charge on the 1st of the month so you'll pay today and then again in 3 days (which would still be cheaper than Fite)(disregard and read below).

Is this confirmed somewhere? My WU subscription has been coming out mid-month for at least the past year, for April it was on the 19th and for March it was the 17th

My bad, going by their English sign-up page https://www.ddtpro.com/account/plan/explanation/english the first month is actually free (but you wont be able to cancel your membership during it, so you at least have to pay for one month). I can't seem to find any info on if the charge happens on 1st of the month or on the date you registered tho (I do think it's still on the 1st).

My subscription has been getting billed around the same date as yours, so maybe it's just when they run their processing.

The most important thing to know about the Juniors for this show is the natch following this one. Suzuki brought Susumu into NOAH to help him fight Stinger after Suzuki was kicked out. Instead, Susumu betrayed Suzuki at the first opportunity and joined Stinger himself. Thus, they have beef.

It's a shame most of Kongoh is out with Covid related issues, I always love when they come out in force to support their guys.

Also Nioh is my least favourite Kongoh guy, but he's solid enough

For all the goofy poo poo Yone pulls, every so often he has matches that remind people that he came through BattlArts and is tough as nails
