NJPW weight classes are extremely arbitrary, especially when it comes to the ROH gaijin. Not sure why.

I'm going to have to rewatch the last 4-5 matches from Wrestling Dontaku, enjoyed the hell out of 'em. Especially Shibata vs Nagata, KUSHIDA vs Liger and Naito vs Ishii.

The NEVER belt was suppossed to be a belt for the younger talent. But that failed from the word go.

Also.
Both bucks are out of BOSJ with injuries. Chase Owens and David Finlay replaces them
