This is great!
Follow this guy on Twitter if you haven't btw. He tweets about attendance numbers and how japanese companies are doing in general. Very good follow.

NJPW have struck a TV deal with Discovery media to air select NJPW events (I assume the ones that usually make TV in Japan). That puts new japan on TV in around 70 million homes in India

I like how Roppongi Vice broke up. When Rocky Romero and Beretta broke up, it was a final farewell with Rocky taking to the mic and wishing his partner the best of luck in his singles career. There was No Beretta blaming Rocky Romero for losing the match and attacking him from behind. They shook hands and went their separate ways. A rare sign of sportsmanship in wrestling.

Jim Ross has been confirmed for a fourth season of New Japan on AXS TV. That's good news to hear.

Jim Ross is officially calling a fourth season of New Japan on AXS

NJPW is announcing the release of a video game at its January 3rd Fan Festa.

NJPW Video Game Announcement, Young Bucks Wrestle Santa & More - SEScoops

Here is hoping its not another mobile game. A well developed next gen game has me salivating...

If Jericho somehow manages to do the Rumble, I will mark the fuck out.
Yes, I read what happened on New Years Dash.

It looks like Jericho is sticking around for little bit longer. Jericho vs Naito should be interesting.

I'll wait until JR and Barnett do commentary for this....Don Callis and Kevin Kelly are atrocious

NJPW..huh?
Checking out the most recent episode...
The Young Bucks are really Good and Athletic. May check out a few more shows to see what I think. I may actually end up liking it.

Some great stuff here. Okada/Sanada and Ospreay/Takahashi stand out for me!

Yeah it's late as hell, but I finally finished Wrestle Kingdom 12 and from the IWGP Junior Title Match to the last Match it was a wonderful show. Omega/Jericho was wonderful, it went from being a Street Fight, to a Technical Match and it kept changing back and forth impressive work from both guys. I gotta say I'm highly disappointed in Okada retaining the IWGP World Title over Naito! You build up this Story of Naito leading to this Match and the Match felt flat to me, and you have Okada retain lolz. What does Naito aka DA MAN have to do to have his moment in the Sun? Justice for Naito for real man, I love Okada, but Naito should of won that Match. Wrestling is a place to tell Stories inside and outside the Ring and to me why should I get interested in any feud with Okada considering he beat two of the biggest and most popular guys in Omega and Naito? Now I have to believe Okada can lose versus second tier contenders going forward? Yeah I don't understand the decision on that, and I wanna see what NJPW has in store for Naito in 2018 that's for sure. New Dash here I come!

Fresh off of the success of Omega vs. Jericho, New Japan's president Takaaki Kidani wants to sign more WWE Superstars to the company.

They were considering Goldberg apparently.I don't know how well he would workout in a Wrestling environment like NJPW at his age but hey! If he's up for it I wouldn't mind Goldberg/Okada, Goldberg/Omega or Goldberg/Suzuki.
