New Japan is running what's probably their most stacked card since COVID tomorrow morning even tho we still don't even know what the main event is. Ibushi's been suffering from a serious pneumonia related illness and seems doubtful to return. Tana cut a classic GOAT go home promo on this morning's show and laid down a challenge if they need him. That *seems* like the way to bet but otoh there has to be some genuine hope that the original plans can still happen if they didn't make it official right there.


Other than what's almost certain to be a fantastic main it's a loaded card filled with title matches and an Okada singles match. If you're one of the people who are curious about Shingo as champion but have grown sick of the weak split cards they've booked this year this is the time to check back in.

The preshow featuring a New Japan Ranbo with handcuffs starts at 3:00 EDT/8:00 BST/17:00 JST with the main card starting an hour later.

he has one of the company's top guys holding the belt and feuding with an established and over tag team. it's the number two title on japanese shows rn and this is like the last time i'd complain about that company's often incredibly bad tag title booking


speaking of other titles, hiromu's been cleared for anyone still unaware and i imagine he makes an appearance on this show in some capacity

this has been great but i’m sorry i missed the rest of the show after being unable to get a nap in after seeing the setup in nagoya

i’m surprised how well the crowd is coming across in a giant empty building. they must have the floor miced a lot better than usual? i was almost suspicious at first but a fake clap track wouldn’t conform to the action this week
