This could be interesting, hopefully it doesn't flop or become a financial burden bc I think it'd be really cool for NJPW to become another national promotion instead of WWE being the only one. They've got a ways to go, and it'll take awhile before they become any sort of player on US soil IMO, but that's the first big step they need to take so good for them.

 

[Hoss]

Meh. So they'll be doing around 20 or so shows in America next year if they stick to their projections. That's cool and all. It won't be an easy time for them though, I assume. There's just so much competition in America right now, they probably would have had better luck starting this a couple of years ago when they still employed The Elite and they were arguably the second most popular promotion in America anyways. I'm interested to see how it goes for them though. I hope they bring an event around my area and I'll be sure to go see that live.

Damn, that is brutal.

Better hope they sell more tickets than they did in Dallas.

Jushin Thunder Liger's last match in the US will be November 9 at San Jose Civic. No word on who his opponent will be.

His schedule for Wrestle Kingdom 14 for day one is an eight-man tag match where he will team-up with Tiger Mask, Tatsumi Fujinami, and Great Sasuke against Ryusuke Taguchi, Tatushito Takaiwa, Shinjiro Otani, and Naomi Sano.

NJPW is releasing its own line of Action figures. Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Will Ospreay, and Tomohiro Ishii. The figures comes with alternate heads, championship belts, guitar, folding chair, Entrance robe, Best of Super Juniors trophy, and fake stack of cash (for Okada).

I finished watching King of Pro Wrestling match between Jyushin Thunder Liger and Minoru Suzuki in Liger's farewell tour. After the match was over, Suzuki pushed aside all of the ring boys, grabbed a steel chair and held it over a lifeless Liger. It looked like he was going to finish off Liger with the steel chair but he threw aside the chair, got on his hands and knees and bowed down to Liger. Rare sign of sportsmanship by the usually sinister Suzuki.

Jon Moxley could be returning to NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom in a triple threat match for the US Championship against current champ Lance Archer and Juice Robinson.

Hell yeah I'll take that. How often do NJPW really do Triple Threats or Fatal Four Ways with Singles Titles it's rare right? Juice and Moxley together will be great you add Archer to the mix and now were talking about a Match of the Year Quality Match.
