Tanahashi's hair is probably going to be the best draw they've got going in. And that's a compliment to the hair, not a knock on New Japan.

I think it's going to be a hard sell for the MSG show on the same weekend as SummerSlam. Technically you could hop on an Amtrak or drive up 95 and get to Boston and see both shows but that also means you skip Takeover. The MSG show benefited from everyone being in NYC. I don't think it will sell out might be close though.

If they could get AEW on board, I could see it doing better even with just getting Jericho and Moxley. They have basically 6 months to work something out which is actually a long time in the current wrestling climate.

According to this week's Observer Newsletter, NJPW is planning for this year's MSG event to be Wrestle Kingdom worthy in terms of card status. Baring any sudden changes, neither Jericho nor Moxley would be available for the show due to both guys deals with NJPW only allows them to work shows in Japan.

Also reported that NJPW wanted to make this announcement during Wrestle Kingdom 14 week but couldn't due to WWE's attempts at blocking them from MSG.

The show will take place on the same weekend as SummerSlam, which will take place the next day in Boston. But it will go head-to-head with the NXT Takeover show in Boston. It also comes two weeks before All Out 2 in Chicago.

The idea is that New Japan will present a card equivalent to a WrestleKingdom. That would seem to mean an IWGP title match involving Tetsuya Naito, Kazuchika Okada, Kota Ibushi, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Jay White or Will Ospreay would be put on top. Because G-1 is being moved to the fall due to the Olympics, it would be the last major event before G-1, and follow Dominion, which takes place 6/16 in Osaka.

As things stand right now, neither Jon Moxley or Chris Jericho would be allowed to appear on the show as their AEW deal only allows for them to work for New Japan in Japan.

It’s notable that after all the pressure coming from the WWE side, that in the end, Madison Square Garden gave them this date. New Japan had planned on announcing this show on 1/5 at the Tokyo Dome, but it wasn’t finalized until recently for the obvious issues.

Not surprising at all. If you're going to go into MSG, you really need a card that is going to be worthy of it. This lends itself to being a huge show, and if it's half-way successful, I wouldn't be surprised to see them make it an annual thing and have their local Wrestle Kingdom and international Wrestle Dynasty show as two big marquee events throughout the year.

I've got a feeling Okada will walk out the IWGP Champion. Can see the top two matches being Naito vs. Okada and White vs. Tanahashi.

Would be tough to make it an annual show without NJPW making major changes to their schedule setup.

Main reason they could do it this year was due to the Olympics being in Tokyo and the G1 Climax tournament being pushed back till the Fall. That left August open for a major event in the US to be possible and also not have it conflict with other shows or be put together at the last minute.

Plus even with MSG becoming friendly towards non-WWE promotions, its still a very expensive place to run events which is why even WWE bolted when they had the chance after the Barclays Center opened for big events in NY.

You don't have to do it in August or at MSG every year, lol. Just one big US show to try and fertilize that ground.

They would still need to do some big tweaks to their schedule to fit a major US show that doesn't get thrown together at the last minute and also gets treated the same as a major Japan event if the idea is to hold it annually.

Right now their schedule is pretty much ideal for how the company runs things which is why almost all the US shows have been just crammed in and given low priority for focus.

Ideally if they were to run a major US show every year, September likely makes the most sense but the window to do it is pretty small. Would be sandwiched between wrestlers just coming out of their post-G1 rest break and the important post-G1 shows that tie up loose ends.

Problem is you'd have to cram it within a 1-2 week window. Last year's gap from the G1 rest break ending to the Destruction tour was like a week.

NJPW pretty much would have to drop one of their usual major events or tournaments to make a major US event happen as an annual thing without running into any real issues.

Can't they start G1 a little earlier and move the rest break one week? Does that interfere with any major Japanese holidays or anything like that?

Might run into some potential schedule issues if they did since the only other way is to shrink down the field back to 18 but doubt they'd want to do that after all these years of doing a 20 man tournament.

Easiest solution to their whole US problem is to just announce major matches earlier like US promotions do but then you run into another problem of spoiling important matches for big Japan events beforehand.

New Japan Cup brackets are going to be revealed tomorrow according to Chris Charlton and it's going to be another big one with 32 entrants.

R.I.P Everyone in Survivor.

I'm feeling a SANADA win, it fits the pattern, would work with the current champion and probably improve his dismal record over Okada. Maybe SANADA takes the IC off Naito. Lots of people are calling for Opsreay but I think it's too soon for that. Of course, it's Gedo so you never know.

New Japan just cancelled all shows from March 1 - March 15 due to coronavirus concerns.

So that's the anniversary show and a big chunk of the New Japan Cup gone.

Yikes. That sucks, better safe than sorry though. I wonder if they reschedule Hiromu / Naito to the finals and just rush the tournament by skipping the under card. How many dates are they left with?

5 dates left but probably could still get the tournament done in time if they got rid of the 10 day rest break after the tournament ends.

He’s not a good communicator, so he didn’t really explain what that means, and that doesn’t mean the crowd ban, but there have been varying expectations on how this thing will go. I guess you’ve got to get tickets out there if the event is happening and just offer refunds later.

Wrestle Dynasty has almost zero chance of happening.

While I hope things are in a better spot come August, NYC currently has a third of all confirmed cases in the US and the governor has essentially said to expect NY to be under various degrees of lockdown for the remainder of the year.

There's just no way major public events like this are going to be happening in the city this year.

Doesn’t mean everything will be closed all year...people are going to need money and the priority is reopening jobs. But bigass public events like sporting events at MSG and Barclays are low on the priority list.

Unless that show was in one of the three not allowed areas, guess NJPW didn't want to run an empty arena or limited capacity show since that would have gone over limit for gatherings as a normal show.

Events from April 12-18 now cancelled. Nippon Professional Baseball tried doing empty stadium games and even without a crowd three players ended up testing positive which means they might've spread it to the teams.

I find it very unlikely there's an event before the summer, if that.

Well, they're still set on Wrestle Dynasty happening.

Tickets were supposed to go on sale next week. But, NJPW has now pushed that into May.

Pre-sale is Wednesday, May 13th.

General public starts Friday May 15th.

The U.S. based NJPW shop recently opened.

Slim pickings for the time being. Nothing that says "buy now".

Hopefully when the next boat comes in with merchandise from the main site, I'll throw grab something.

Best of Super Junior tour completely cancelled.

They’ve basically said they won’t even think about returning until there’s readily available testing kits available for everyone every show......which means they might just be done for the year.

Well, make sure MSG holds on to the deposit.

Logic dictates put it next to whatever PPV WWE has at Barclays at 2021 and make a weekend out of it. However, I can also see it as a kind of a kickoff to the G1 now depending on how the Olympics go for next year.

In the meantime, please get some new merchandise on the U.S. store.

I'm glad it's postponed. I was going to go but I know it was likely not goin to be a full sell out this year, then once the plauge came I knew they had to call it off.

P.M. Shinzo Abe lifted the state of emergency in Tokyo and the surrounding areas today.

With Howard Meij announcing the comeback plan not long ago, I hope there's some new info on NJPW starting back up soon.

NJPW might have filed one of the oddest trademarks for something wrestling related since I started following these things.

The recent trademark for Wrestle Dynasty includes the usual wording for merch-related purposes but then has one of the most wordy and all over the place stuff for something meant to be wrestling-related.
