SANADA vs. Shingo in Round 2 would be great if it happens.

Pretty much a given Okada will steamroll through his bracket. Suzuki the only bump in the road. But ending with a light heavyweight of either Kanemaru or Ishimori is just strange.
Obvious that Hiromu and Stone Pitbull will be at the end of theirs. Unless they got something planned for El Desperado that I don't know about. That top right bracket is stacked. Minus Taguchi, anyone can win that. Bottom right, It's EVIL's to lose. Goto might give him trouble. |

I am predicting Okada vs Takagi in the final. It would be cool if Okada won and then Takagi wins G1 and we go to the Dome, brother.

For those interested in English commentary for NJPW's return of live shows, Chris Charlton confirmed reports of Japanese commentary being the only option for live shows and English commentary with only Kevin Kelly will get released some time afterwards on NJPW World.

I thought Chris lived in Japan, weird.

I think he does. But, Chris is more of a translator and go-to for quick knowledge and anything Japanese wrestling. Not so much a commentator.
I'm wondering if Kevin Kelly got on a plane and is in Japan. Can't be that difficult to stick him next to Milano and Shinpei. Unless he's going to watch from his house. Which would just be weird, but understandable. |

Very likely doing it straight from his house since there would be no reason to not have English commentary as a live option if he was actually in Japan.
Japan still has a travel ban in place despite them easing restrictions for the coronavirus. |

I think I'll wait a day or two and see how long turn around is for the English commentary. Checked earlier today and so far only the Japanese commentary is up for Together Project.

Since he's been booked for the shows anyway, feel like they should've had DOUKI in the tournament instead of Jado because my god, Jado looks like he can barely move.

Just got around to watching the first night of the New Japan Cup.
Put Yota Tsuji on the list of people who can do a spear better than Edge. Managed to hit Makabe with a sweet looking one to start their match. |

Sho's eternal quest to beat Shingo Takagi has been my favorite angle in New Japan for a while now. Mainly because it leads to some incredible matches. So I was so hyped for their NJcup match.
...until that piece of shit Toa Henare tweeted out an image from the match showing the winner graphic. I don't even follow the fucker. It just showed up on my page. Fuck Toa Henare. I hope he languishes in the young lion division for the rest of his fucking life. |

Like of all the still frames from the match you could use, why would you use one that states the winner mere hours after the match took place? Did any logical thought cross this guy's mind before posting it.

MLW and New Japan seem to be teasing some sort of working relationship. Tom Lawlor will be "representing MLW" on their Lion's Break: Collision show.

Jesus Christ, that would be absolutely insane. It'd also be pretty amazing to see an Okada vs. Tanahashi match on US soil.

I always thought the WWE missed the boat by not customizing John Cena's shorts and selling them as boxers/board shorts for kids. He had everything else imaginable marketed but the most obvious thing about him while wrestling.

Orton has been so anti-pants his entire career they really should have marketed RKO briefs a long time ago.
"The viper stripes for a limited time on WWEShop.com, only $9.99" |

Surely that’s an untapped goldmine? Are Pro Wrestling Tees not all over this?
Imagine briefs/boxer-briefs in some of the most iconic wrestling attire designs; Macho Man/King with the 3 stars, Punk’s MITB/Chicago, The Rock, Orton, Warrior, Austin (). |

I would very comfortable sleep in Kazuchika Okada designs. Or Shawn Michaels inspired motifs.

Karl Fredericks got promoted from Young Lions status. First to do so from the LA Dojo I think.

They've all impressed me when I watched Lion's gate stuff. Shame about Kitamura though.
