    Tanahashi winning was the right call IMO. He still has a connection with the fanbase that Omega and Okada can honestly just dream about. Both of those guys are beloved but Tanahashi is BELOVED. This is obviously being done to put over Kenny at the dome but if they really wanted to do something...

    So Hiromu has a broken neck after the botched phoenix plex. He was able to finish the match and walk to the back collapsed backstage. He is currently receiving treatment and is in a stable condition but there has yet to be any news on how long he is expected to be out. It obviously sucks but...

    They were in the process of successfully elevating him to heavyweight but he has been unable to wrestle since February sadly due to a couple of rather serious injuries. Hopefully he is back by the end of the year.

    Looks like Hikuleo (the third son of Haku) went out injured with a foot injury today

    Tana vs Taichi stinks of upset to me. It would also play into Tanahashi's ongoing feud with Suzuki-Gun

    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

    God knows that Gedo wasn't having them return to Japan as the Tempura boys. Listen to that pop when the crowd realizes who it is

    It's hopefully going to be Sho Tanaka and Yohei Komatsu. Just about time for them to come home. Would also give Chaos some more young talent, which they need.

    For all we know old Billy Cancer could be involved in the new japan US territory that is being set up. Or they just let Tanahashi chose because it's Tanahashi

    The specials card to me says that either New Japan don't get what it is that is attracting western fans to their product (but at the same time how do they not know that?). Or they put a whole lot of faith in guys like Cody and Gunn putting extra eyes on the shows from the casual market. Despite...

    The blocks fight amongst themselves (Block A guys fight each other, same in block B). Each win scores you two points. Whoever has most points in each block by the end faces off in the final

    Bit of both combined with how serious his injury was. He literally beat his brain so hard against his skull it started bleeding and forming a potential blood cloth between his skull and brain. Combined with his heavy drinking that also impacts the brain negatively it was not exactly idea. His...

    Shibata update: He's having surgery some time in early May (I have forgotten the date). But there's still not really any expected recovery time. Basically they are going to put the piece of his skull they removed back in.

    He's probably out for the rest of the year. Hematomas can differ so much in recovery time and quality of recovery depending on the person. Not to mention all his other injuries he's been working through (shoulders, cervical etc). Dudes a trooper but odds are if he returns it won't be as the same...

    Shibata suffered a subdural hematoma after yesterday's match with Okada. He spent 5 hours in surgery after the show and should be fine
