New Japan Pro-Wrestling General Discussion Thread

The Bucks vs Trent and Kendrick was MOTN for me.....The Moves they pulled and The Bucks with the Bullet Club....It was a really good match.
I also Liked the ME, It was good way to end the day and It made me think that.....Hey, Maybe Okada and Anderson can put on a good match.

Maybe. We know the winner is obvious, but sometimes the wrestling promotions can make obvious to be exciting. Hopefully that happens here.

That match card was announced quickly.

 

[Forrest OAKADA]

Looks lIke a Nice Card......Ibushi vs Devitt is going to steal the show....

Am I the only one that feel like Tanahashi will dethrone Nakamura for the IC belt? I can see them putting the belt on Tana for the same reason they put it on Nakamura, to keep him away from the heavyweight belt. Nakamura couldn't challenge Okada since they are in the same stable, and Naito has already trumped Tana.

Fans are gonna get to vote on what will be the main event of WK. IWGP heavyweight match (Okada vs Naito) or the IC title match (Nakamura vs Tanahashi).

Seems like New Japan has little faith in Naito. Had it been Okada vs anyone else he would have main evented without this even being in question.

Gonna star getting into NJPW more, I fucking love Bullet Club, Devitt is a beast, Gallows joining is awesome, Anderson is great, Bucks are brilliant. Wrestle Kingdom 8 is the next event? Ibushi Vs Devitt will be fantastic.

 

[THG?]

Watched Hooligans vs. Bucks the other day, amazing, best tag team match I've seen all year.
