NJPW Sakura Genesis - April 8, 2023

Yano pinned Tanahashi

ELP tweeted this shortly before this event. Could explain a lot of what’s happening. He also retweeted a couple things from Jay White including him and ELP at a basketball game last year.

Sounds like we’re getting BC Black ‘n Gold.

Jay White also tweeted this so ELP was definitely winking and giving a nod to his brother.

Makes me wonder if there’ll be a civil war at FD2.

Civil War def happening and ELP is about to be a massive babyface assuming he's still staying in Japan. The Japanese fans fucking love him

 

[Comrade Khan]

Might be hard to hold off until All In tbh, Forbidden Door gonna be tempting

....Aussie Open and Ospreay vs CMFTR keeps Ospreay free from Kenny until London too tho just saying

Also, hear me out

Mjf loses the aew title at fd 2 to okada. Omega okada one more time at all in.

I'm disappointed but not surprised that Kenta didn't side with ELP. ELP saw him as a friend and was pointing out how the fans cheer for them both but not the rest of the bullet club But Kenta has no loyalty

It’ll be interesting to see if he stays in Japan or straddles both because I think he’s gonna appear more in the states if he’s planning to be apart of Jay’s US black and gold version or what have you.

I am surprised it took ELP this long to have Tama’s back, too, since him and Bone Soldier were originally brought in by Tama and Ishimori turning on ELP and Tama is kinda shocking as well. No more Cute Boys.

If I know anything about colour-based splits of a major popular faction, eventually we're going to have a fingerpoke reunion, with Bullet Club B-Team working under the Bullet Club Elite... oh no wait that won't be the name

To say nothing of Bullet Club 2000

Technically speaking that means he loyalty to the club and that’s what you’re supposed to do. Might be why Kenta turned on him. He was getting too big for the club. Same reason Bucks kicked out original leader Finn Balor.

I'd love if he was kind of the main guy in Japan representing too since obviously it won't be Jay, I think that would make the feud so much better. I actually imagine ELP will be the main part of it while Jay and Juice just rep the colors in America but probably only participate in the major crossovers

I also don't think he's loyal to bullet club he just sees it as his best career move lol

I was actually thinking they should have done black and red, but yeah, I think they’re avoiding the obvious.

I mean....it could be Bullet Club Elite in some timelines I can imagine

Plus as Jeff said there's a slight chance it's a small shot at HHH lol
