NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20 - January 4, 2026

Ahh. Bushi

This is definitely why the matches went by faster than they normally seem to. We still going over 30 minutes later. But well deserved for Tanahashi.

#ThankYouAce

Nearly an hour later and it's going off the air.

Amazing send off for an absolute legend. So many rivals and friends coming out to show their love and respect for him. Hate we didn't get Nakamura. Would've been the cherry on top. But still a great way to send this man off into the sunset. Great show.

Why is Sanada a robot now... and why does he bring a guitar to the ring like he's Jeff Jarrett

 

[Loochblade]

Okay... 8 teams with 3 guys each and the teams come in in one minute intervals... this sounds like chaos

 

[Loochblade]

Surprise Thekla appearance. 10 outta 10 show.

 

[Loochblade]

Yea... these one minute intervals are way too short with that long entrance way and the amount of people

I know I should be upset it didn't happen but for some reason I find it so meaningful the lengths Shinshuke has went to acknowledge the retirement despite not being able to participate

When Tanahashi was hitting his air guitar after everyone else had came and gone... man my hope shot up so much that he was actually gonna be there.

 

[Loochblade]

Man... with me not following New Japan that closely it's really weird to see the War Dogs team up with Shingo and Hiromu... just doesn't feel right.

 

[Loochblade]

I already forgot Andrade was in this

 

[Brett]

I don't want to spoil for Looch, but have to put this somewhere. I cried like a fucking baby when Ibushi was hobbling out on the side of Kenny. Holy fucking shit, and then Shibata. Fucking hell dude, I'm a mess. Fuck WWE for not letting Shin be there, fuck them.

Also Naito is so fucking ridiculous it's hard not to love the guy.
