NJPW Resurgence - May 9, 2025

[Ricky Smarks]

It’s honestly a shame that they did kill their American television show because now more than ever. They have enough talent to have a solid separate US roster.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

There’s also some wrestlers they were on strong they kinda disappeared after like Bateman from the original righteous.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Since this is a proper new Japan pay-per-view they probably wouldn’t have any problems doing any title changes tonight, right?

Not that I necessarily want to see any.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Except maybe Drilla. Him winning the strong championship as irreverent as that belt probably is today would be pretty cool.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Also wouldn’t be opposed to unit Empire winning the tag belts.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Resurgence is a pretty cool logo and name.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I love how much they’ve improved the world app after releasing the new app. They don’t have separate uploads for English and Japanese anymore. You just go to the audio selection on the same video and select whether you wanna do English or Japanese commentary which is a great change.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

With speaking of the video, is just now talking about.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Let’s go, Empire!

 

[Ricky Smarks]

The elite versus the war dogs. Coming off the heels, finally kicking out the house of torture.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

ELP also fighting Take. What a good match.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

No Chance ELP wins, but wouldn’t hate it.

they tend to not have many but when it makes sense with the booking they will

 

[Chris]

I think Mercedes losing is actually a decent chance

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Would be wild if Mercedes loses the strong championship before the Owen final.
