El Desperado vs Jon Moxley Official July 30 in Nashville! 【NJoA】​

No DQ main event set for Music City Mayhem

Music City Mayhem July 30 Nashville Fairgrounds TICKETS
Watch LIVE exclusively on FITE!

July 30 sees NJPW bring Music City Mayhem to Nashville Tennessee as part of Starrcast weekend, and the event has just gotten a mammoth main event.

After El Desperado was part of Suzuki-Gun’s partnership with the Jericho Appreciation Society at Forbidden Door, the masked rudo wants another taste of a mutual enemy of both Minoru Suzuki and Chris Jericho- and someone who just so happens to be the Interim AEW World Champion. Desperado issued a challenge to Jon Moxley backstage at Korakuen Hall last week, and the Death Rider has accepted, but under the condition that this is a no disqualification match.

With no DQs, no time limits and no rules, Moxley will undoubtedly be bringing the violence, but with his own blood strewn past in deathmatches with the legendary Jun Kasai, Desperado will give every bit of that violence back to Mox. Be a part of this war on July 30 in Nashville or on FITE!​

Our boy Blake got booked @Chris

Hiromu Takahashi battles Blake Christian in a first time ever one on one matchup. Much like contemporary, friend and rival Alex Zayne, Blake Christian made big waves on the independents and then NJPW STRONG before heading for a brief sojourn in WWE and now re-establishing himself in the US. Zayne would get his big break in Japan during the Best of the Super Jr. tour, and left a distinct impression on Hiromu during a clash in Chiba. Now that the Time Bomb is making his return to the US for the first time in over four years, he’ll be looking to push the impressive ‘All Heart’ to his limits.

Another phenomenal first time matchup sees Clark Connors do battle with Davey Richards. The American Wolf has not been seen in a NJPW ring for well over a decade, and his No Remorse Corps tag team with Rocky Romero that saw him to two IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships. With no nonsense attitudes when the bell rings, and stylistic comparisons to the likes of the late Dynamite Kid being applied to both men over the years, this is a phenomenal match on paper, and in practice is highly unlikely to disappoint.​

okay - KUSHIDA got me hyped to actually watch wrestling again

 

[Comrade Khan]

hell of a card shaping up.

 

[Chris]

hell of a card shaping up.

It's only $15 too which is insane, it's part of the Starrcast package as well which is expensive af but it includes all those podcasts and the Flair stuff too that I don't plan on watching

Even some FTR up in this bad boy now too ​

After a challenge issued via social emdia this week, KUSHIDA and Alex Shelley is signed for Music City Mayhem. Shelley and KUSHIDA, the Timesplitters were one of the most explosive junior heavyweight tag teams of the last decade, racking up a pair of IWGP Junior Heavyweight tag Team Championship reigns and wowing audiences across Japan. KUSHIDA credits Shelley for a lot of his development as a pro, and holds him amongst his best friends. Now that he’s back for another go-around in NJPW, the chance exists for a once in a lifetime dream match to find out just who the better partner is.

Fred Rosser will put his newly won STRONG Openweight Championship on the line for the first time when he faces Big Damo. The Beast From Belfast has presented massive competition to several contenders on STRONG in recent months, and Rosser wants to start his reign as STRONG Champion against the toughest competition possible. Will his reign start strong, or after a long journey to the top, will Damo knock him right off the summit?

With three tag team titles to their credit at the present time, the most recent being the IWGP Tag team Championships won at Forbidden Door, it seems hard to argue against the point that FTR are the best tag team in the world. Yet Aussie Open will take that argument. Forged in the UK, Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis made their presence violently felt on the road to Forbidden Door in Chicago, and again during the event itself, where a post match assault to Roppongi Vice and Orange Cassidy was only cut off by Katsuyori Shibata. There’s some unfinished business for FTR when it comes to the United Empire though, and Aussie Open will be one issue to settle here tonight. To complete a pair of all star trios, Alex Zayne joins the side of the 7-Star team, while TJP will provide expert junior heavyweight backup for the Aussies- this will be a spectacle.

More six man action will see Shota Umino back on US shores as he combines with Yuya Uemura and Fred Yehi to take on Ren Narita, The DKC and KEvin Knight of the LA Dojo. Six of the best young talents anywhere in the business will show the Music City exactly what they can do on July 30!​

Damn Connors is out, but it's Rocky vs Davey instead

 

[Marty McFourth]

Ah, bummer. I actually wanted to see Connors again, I was really impressed at Forbidden Door. You can't go wrong with getting Rocky Romero as a replacement though, that should bang for sure
