    Awesome Entrance Themes #5: Minoru Suzuki

    Ladies and Gents, it's time for another Awesome Entrance Theme and this time, in celebration of New Japan Pro Wrestling announcing their return to in ring competition, it's one of the best entrance themes that promotion has seen.

    NJPW lost its US TV deal a year early because Anthem offered them an ultimatum: have a working relationship with Impact Wrestling (i.e. NJPW wrestlers compete on Impact's show) or lose their TV deal on AXS. NJPW refused and their TV deal was yanked...

    AEW Fight for the Fallen or NJPW G1?

    There's a couple big shows this weekend with AEW and NJPW. What shows are people looking forward to the most? I'm a casual viewer of NJPW and I don't know jack shit about the G1, but I plan on watching it as much as I can over the next month.

    ROH/NJPW Announce G1 Supercard in MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

    (EDIT: Seeing as how this announcement involves both ROH and NJPW i wasnt sure were to put it, seeing as it involves both companeys, i ended up picking this one, but in all honesty in could fit either one.) Im amazed nobody has made any threads about this, because this is huge news! The story...

    Tag Team Apocalypto

    A few years ago at Total Nonstop Deletion a match happened that peaked my interest. The Hardys invited tag teams to the Hardy Compound to compete in tag team apocalypto. They are now back in the WWE but it makes me curios with tag team wrestling booming across the globe if you could have anyone...

    Is Wrestling dead?

    I don't think it is dead just because WWE gets 3 million viewers on Raw and 2.5 million on Smackdown doesn't mean it is dead since we have independent wrestling like ROH, NJPW, and many more wrestling companies. Now ROH gets an approximately 420,000 viewers while TNA/GFW get around 600,000...

  17. ¡Tranquilo!

    IWGP U.S. Championship revealed.

    This is the prize of US G1 tournament. I guess this event will kick off an NJPW touring brand here. I'm pretty interested to see who they crown as the inaugural US champ, I'm thinking Juice Robinson. As for the belt itself I'm just not a fan of the red straps anymore. The gold plates look bad...

    Bullet Club's new Villain.

    WWE or NJPW? As nice as it looks to work for the WWE as a pro wrestler under their contract, it doesn't sound like it's really all sunshine and rainbows considering the amount of backstage bullying that goes on in the WWE, along with a very rigorous work schedule for WWE wrestlers, traveling...
