New Japan holds their biggest show since the G1 Finals in about four hours. You may remember this show under the usual King of Pro Wrestling name, like every other non tournament show this year they've changed names due to the 50th Anniversary. In addition to the first IWGP WHC defense in months we get to see Ren Narita's comeback. This is the first return from excursion that i can remember in the Bushiroad era where the guy seems to be back under his normal name as a babyface without any kinda heavy gimmick and i'm very curious to see how it goes. 超実力派宣言 〜Declaration of Power〜 October 10th at 4:00 EDT/9:00 GMT/17:00 JST Ryogoku Kokugikan Ren Narita Comeback Match:Ren Narita, David Finlay, and Robbie Eagles vs. Suzuki-gun (El Desperado, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, and DOUKI) Dangerous Tekkers vs. TMDK (Shane Haste and Bad Dude Tito) Tana, Hikuleo, Taguchi, and Wato vs. House of Torture (EVIL, Yujiro, SHO, and Togo) Special Tag Match: Bishamon vs. United Empire (Jeff Cobb and Great O-Khan L.I.J (Naito, SANADA, Hiromu, and BUSHI) vs. United Empire (Ospreay, Henare, TJP, and Akira) Special Single Match:[Master Wato vs. Taiji Ishimori Provisional KOPW 2022 Who's Your Daddy?

There is no way this will eventually come back to haunt anybody.

Just arriving at the train station and I feel this is the first NJPW show I've been to where LIJ shirts are outnumbered. (SZKG, mainly Despe, on top)

This is such a bad time for me, i'll most likely be missing this since I really should be getting some sleep before work tonight. Will be cheering for Ren to join SZKG and for ELP to beat his son. Rocky on comms is cool, I still have fond memories of the G1 he did with Kevin and Chris. Such great chemistry

they've done a good job overall with the kopw. i didn't think it would ever work aside from Yano Match stuff but this works and i loved the cumulative pincount gimmick

obv his gimmick is pretty explicitly "shibata's heir" and it's so cool to see someone come back in black trunks. love o-khan but you need a counterweight. https://twitter.com/thauros_/status/1340621996896489474?s=20&t=vg_YHusIGkPzu0nqvMiTYw the funny thing tho is that while i also had ishii vs taichi in mind the "no bullshit asskicker" i was talking about there was ben-k lmao. for those who don't follow dg he's now gone in a very different direction
