ELP, Suzuki/Desperado/Narita and Ishii are the challengers for Tama, The House and Zack respectively I think

I mean, during the press conference interruption, the Kongoh lads ended up looking like shouty clowns.

Getting into a promo battle with Naito or Shingo individually is probably gonna end up in you getting embarrassed. Trying to do both at once is always going to make you look like a clown.

Kenoh’s whole gimmick is always gonna lean into him looking like a clown tbf

New Beginning cards are out. Not gonna post everything but here are the main matches

Nagoya: Shingo/O-Khan KOPW
Sapporo Night 1: Catch 2/2 vs Just 2 Guys, Ospreay/Taichi, Naito/Shota
Sapporo Night 2: Bishamon/TMDK, Zack/Ishii, Hiromu/YOH
Osaka: Wato/Ishimori, Suzuki, Despe & Ren/HOT, KENTA/Tana, Hikuleo/Jay, ELP/Tama, Okada/Shingo

Looking at the tour shows, Fujita is teaming with TMDK on all of them so he’s a proper member and this isn’t just a bit Zack is doing. Despe/Suzuki/Narita are teaming with Honma and YLs so I guess they’re in Hontai

SRS getting scoops that both Hikuleo and Jay are leaving feels like the company are leaking false info to make the match more unpredictable on at least one of them

Connors was in the BOSJ, I think?

He was. He didn’t have a really outstanding one. His best matches have been with heavyweights. I think he really should be an underdog heavy tbh because it suits him better. It’s not as if he’s gonna reach the top in either division

Shingo and O-Khan just had a press conference for their KOPW match next week with rules proposals

O-Khan - KO, TKO and tap out only
Shingo - 30 count fall

O-Khan’s stip won which means that his KOPW match with Shingo Takagi will be an MMA match with the number one contendership on the line

I just found out that on Saturday the 4th of Feb NJPW is doing a show in Sapporo, (about an hour by train from where I live), AND in Melbourne, (where I was born).

I think it is a cool thing. Even though nobody I know back home gives even half a poo poo about Japanese wrestling and so probably won't go.

I will be at one of these shows.

Last being in quotation marks cracks me up, Muta already hedging his bets :lol:

I’ve figured the play. After Okada beats Shingo, Naito challenges him for Battle in the Valley. Naito beats Okada and makes his match with Muto into an IWGP World title match. Muto wins and says he can’t retire until he loses the belt. Never loses the belt

It’s funny seeing most of the fans in the QTs being like “hell yeah, don’t devalue yourself Kazu”.

Love how partisan fans are over this. During the Naito/Kenoh match, there were people shouting “Tranquilo Kenoh!” when he was getting mad and it ruled

I’m excited for the Okada match based solely on the clip I saw of the beat down so what’s the NOAH guy’s deal

He used to want to be Misawa and now he wants to be Keiji Muto.

He’s really good. He’s NOAH’s youngest ever champion, he won the belt at 22.

They have Kiyomiya mess with okada on a njpw show or two and really get the njpw fans worked up and I can see a lot of njpw fans buying a ticket to see okada put this punk down.

Could do some good business

Kaito should absolutely come out on one of the Korakuens this week and cause problems. It would be funny to see how Naito and Shingo react to having their match interrupted by an angry Kaito attacking Okada. Plus Shota is teaming with Okada so you can have him get in Kaito's face to set up your next big interpromotional match.

Just 4 Guys is a real faction and has a logo.

Narita/Suzuki/Desperado are challenging The House for the six man titles (or at least trying to, The House are saying the belts are retired because nobody was good enough to beat them). They’re teaming with Hontai guys in the Road to shows so aren’t their own thing yet

Actually you have to add their points to the Bullet Club points so we can see that The House are in fact more popular than LIJ
