The highlight of Fantastica Mania tour, IMO:

Okada ain't got no moves

Spoiler

Tanahashi has dislocated his shoulder.
He's going to see a doctor today. No word yet on if he needs surgery and how long he will be out if at all.

That sucks. Hopefully it's not serious.

Man, that sucks for Tana.

Jim Ross Officially Returning To Pro Wrestling Commentary, Comments On New Job

This makes me oh so very happy that I speak Japanese. I am happy for JR to get a job that he'll hopefully enjoy, but I've never been a big fan of his commentary....

Other than his wonderful comment during Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez at Wrestlemania IX when Gonzalez threw Undertaker into the steps:

"Those steps are solid steel... "

The steps fall over revealing there is nothing solid about them..,

"....or some kind of metal..."

 

[Prince Bálor]

Apparently, Tanahashi is still planning to work the ROH 14th Anniversary Show and TV tapings in February.

 

[Stopspot]

He wrestled today and his arm wasn't even taped. Either it is a very minor injury or he is working through it. Which is nothing new for the New Japan roster. See Ishii's entire 2015. Or Akira Hokuto's career

Anyone remember Striker saying that if either Styles or Nakamura left, New Japan's roster would take a massive blow...:21-1:

 

[Leo C]

Tanahashi is X, by the way.

Will Ospreay has signed with NJPW, which made TNA mad, because they didn't know it. lol

Looking forward to watching him in New Japan, especially during BOSJ tourney.

Tanahashi vs. Omega for the IC title. Seems bootyful.

Haku is a badass
