So... how often exactly do you guys think we'll be seeing Ibushi now? Will he work Invasion Attack? I'd be down for him vs Shibata there, or maybe they do the Omega match right away (we're surely getting it still, right?) Will he work the G1? Sounds like a good idea, considering everybody else who left.
He's still going to work for them. He just stopped being under contract to both New Japan and DDT, forming his own "company" that he fights out of now. So he'll still show up in New Japan, just not as frequent
Where can I watch dis?

Will Ospreay! Yay, can't wait for Ospreay vs KUSHIDA at Invasion Attack!
In other news: NJPW officially announced that Michael Elgin has signed a two year deal with the company and that Katsuyori Shibata has signed a NJPW deal. He had previously been working as a freelancer.

Night 1 was awesome. Besides Nagata losing (which isn't really a bad decision, just the mark in me was sad), I loved everything about this. The opener was perfect for what it was, even Elgin/Tenzan got good in the end there, Tonga/Makabe was fine I guess, Kojima and Honma had a great match, even the tag match was fun with the Shibata/Okada interactions and such. Nagata/Goto was good until the end when it got AWESOME, Nagata unleashing hate on Goto and such. Too bad he got rolled up and pinned. YOSHI-HASHI match was much better than expected, Ishii/EVIL as well, meh start, when they were trading bombs it was great. And the main event, well, what is there to say? Tanahashi continues to somehow get good matches out of Fale every time they wrestle, and my favorite match result is here again as Fale pins Tana clean. Great, great show. And all of this right after they announced Shibata signed, this show made me SO happy.
Night 2 was fine, there was some filler here which was the same as always, then I got legit angry and stopped watching when Kojima got eliminated, got back, Goto/Tonga was fun enough, Elgin/Fale was a fine big man match and Ishii/Naito was very good. Not close to Night 1, but fine. There was also a point on this show where I actually kinda believed Shibata was going to lose to Nakanishi of all people, but gladly the tables turned, he beat the big immobile man and then he and Nagata had an epic staredown...
ooh: Koji losing (to Yano of all people, not that it hurts him or anything, but Kojima/Naito would've just been better for me) had to make me more pissed than anything in wrestling has in a while but other than that these two shows were awesome and planted the seeds for some good stuff.

Both Day 1 and 2 were fun, although I enjoyed Day 1 more.
Naito FTW, pls.

If you are patient, parts of Honor Rising will make ROH TV in the coming weeks. Other than that or getting New Japan World I'd recommend pestering Watchwrestling to upload them
