Looks like you're becoming a fan of Stardom! That's awesome. You should check out most of the 5 Star GP if you haven't yet.. I posted some ratings before in another forum, and I can dig them up if you're looking for recommendations

I didn't get to see the main event yet since I had to make dinner.. I'm not really into that belt, but I am really looking forward to Kairi vs Mayu

Full Gear was fucking great! The return of The Elite was an all time moment, and then the crowd started chanting Fuck CM Punk lol

Best of 7 with those trios is pretty insane, but we all know it'll be amazing

Looks like AEW is ready to turn things around after a really rough year

i've seen bits and pieces of the 5star GP and its very clear to me that Stardom is on another level when it comes to women's wrestling.

Im familiar with SLK and Guilia. Same with Cosmic Angels.

I'll try to catch the Stardom show at Korakuen on Jan6th.

Hopefully im not completely burned out by wrestle kingdom. there's already 7 matches on the card, Tanahashi and Naito don't have matches yet.

Great O'Khan threw out a "challenge" to Nakamura yesterday for the Tokyo Dome...

Sounds like Nakamura's WWE contract might be ending then, or they are way different under Stephanie and Nick Khan. They wouldn't let Kairi do the Stardom anniversary show or even the Hana Kimura memorial show

Or it's quite likely that G-O-K went into business for himself LUL

i woudln't rule out the latter haha, but that guy has been such a great rep for njpw

someone on reddit suggested that... since the GOK promo mentions muta. i wouldn't rule out keiji mutoh tagging wtih nakamura, throw in tanahashi and shibata and you got the team representing inoki for the show

and it was great muta's last match in njpw, not keiji mutoh haha

Oh Mutoh's last match is with NOAH in Tokyo Dome in Feb, he could be referring to that show. He's been feuding with Mutoh already

could be!

Tony Khan bought the rights to the NBA on NBC theme song and it just opened Dynamite HAHAHHA

Yup, theme song for the best of 7 Trios title series LOL

Which btw has been fucking AWESOME

Seems like AEW is "back" to being good after a pretty rough year at times

Shinsuke Nakamura is such a fucking rockstar.


Paid the 900yen for the wrestle universe sub...
NJPW and TV Asahi gotta get their shit together for the broadcast and service, and also the presentation of the big events. Every entrance feels special !

I haven't been following Wrestling in any form for a while now, I saw this pop up on my algorithm. I was blown away at the entrance theme:awwyeah:

I was blown away by the match! Practically in tears, and you know they were holding back in many ways

Reports wwe has been sold to Saudi arabias investment fund.

Yup looks like it's about to go down (but hasn't yet as of now, and will probably take a while to go through)

My theory is there was never going to be a bidding war or anything like that. This was all planned since pretty much the moment Vince was forced to retire. If he just wanted to sell the company, they could sell it to anyone.

Nope, his goal is to get full power of the company back, and that meant striking a deal with the Saudis. Work the sale with them, and then as legally as possible take control of the company, sell it to them, and get rid of anyone who has any power that he doesn't want to have any power.

They will have to go through the motions and it'll take a while, but I am 100% sure this will go down this way. Stephanie already resigned today, AND left the board.

The crowd was HOT for this, especially when the song itself is so iconic. Crowd was very very loud for his entrance. Kenny is really missed in Japan.

I hope whoever wwe ends up selling to will respect that back catalogue of footage and make it even more available.

99% sure it'll be the Saudis, I don't think the back catalog will be any more or less better off than it is now. I think Vince might have actually attempted to rush the sale which is why the rumor came out that night

not so much what the catalogue is now, but all the territories footage that the E has acquired over the years is something special.

anyway, an article i saw on twitter on my flight to WK17. Really great long form interview with Kenny Omega. Dude is very humble and some of the things he has done over there reminds me of a few friends here that I know, who are not of chinese dissent but take time to learn the language and culture etc.

RIP

very tragic news
Quite enjoyed the Briscos work.

A solid US card for NJPW... headlined by Okada vs Tanahashi

Kickoff Match 1: JR Kratos vs Alex Coughlin
Kickoff Match 2: Bobby Fish vs David Finlay
1st Match: Volador Jr., Kevin Knight, KUSHIDA & The DKC vs Rocky Romero, Josh Alexander, Adrian Quest & Mascara Dorada
2nd Match: STRONG Openweight Championship: Fred Rosser vs KENTA
3rd Match: STRONG Openweight Tag Team Championships: Motor City Machineguns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) vs West Coast Wrecking Crew (Jorel Nelson & Royce Isaacs)
4th Match: Eddie Kingston vs Jay White
5th Match: Filthy Rules Fight- Tom Lawlor vs Homicide
6th Match: NJPW World TV Championship- Zack Sabre Jr. vs Clark Connors
Double Main Event I: IWGP Women’s Championship- KAIRI vs Mercedes Moné
Double Main event II: IWGP World Heavyweight Championship- Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Kazuchika Okada

The match between Eddie Kingston vs Jay White should be an interesting one to way, all signs lead to Jay White leaving NJPW as a whole and not just Japan, however, this mad man has really done everything in NJPW. If he is done, I expect HHH to throw a truck of money to him, after all somoene's gotta be the top heel in wwe and this guy can definitely fill the role.

Yeah I'll probably watch it.. Top 5 matches look really good

Both AEW and WWE should go after Jay. I think AEW could use another top heel, but on the other hand their roster seems so bloated with similar types of guys. With WWE you have to assume they would drop the ball like they always do, but they are doing really good job with Cody and Sami Zayn so I dunno

official now.
Jay leaves NJPW if Eddie beats him
Eddie can't wrestle for NJPW without Jay's permission if Jay wins

liklihood of Jay White losing, 90% LOL

So he already lost the "loser leaves Japan" and now he's doing "Loser leaves NJPW"? Way to get two matches out of it LUL

loving the njpwworld tv belt matches... 15minutes and will be free for everyone to watch on youtube
Zack Sabre Jr. is definitely the right guy to hold this.

So AEW just had one of the best American wrestling PPVs in history today. Don't miss it!
