New Japan Pro-Wrestling General Discussion Thread

Honestly, I strongly believe Desperado/Taguchi might end up being the MOTN simply because Jarrett screwing Tanahashi is painfully obvious and will ruin the end of main event. In an ideal world where Jarrett never left his mother's womb, Tanashi/Styles would be a legit cult classic, human chessgame for ages to come.

Merged with the NJPW thread

Three way Jr. Tag match sounds good. Tanahashi/Styles will probably be a great contest too.

 

[Stopspot]

So. Yamamoto returned tonight at KOPW, saving Tanahashi from a Jeff Jarrett guitar solo.

Spoiler: title match result

also we have a new champ in Tanahashi, setting a new record.

So... dont really know what to say to be honest.

MOTN---> Ishii vs Yujiro. Ishii is a BEAAAAST


Expected more from the ME and I think Okada was not at his top level.

 

[Bort]

Yep, Ishii/Yujiro was outstanding, just phenomenal, and the best thing - it wasn't a total Ishii carryjob.

I loved main event as well, sure it was this big western type match with interferences, but it was done in a somehow compelling manner.
