Great looking card. Still seems weird seeing Kondo Shuji in NOAH given he is from Dragon Gate, but I have been enjoying it. Kojima vs. Masa is going to be a hoss fight and I am here for it. The Six-Man tag also looks great, and hopefully it sets up Kaito vs. Jake down the line given that it is a match I have been waiting for, and side note cool to see Anthony Green given he is signed to IMPACT. Hijo vs. Soya is another hoss match, and I see Hijo winning and retaining.

@Turanga Leela How do you feel about Dragon Gate letting NOAH use some of their talent?
I think NOAH and New Japan are the top of the mountain - so I think its good buisness for them. They might get more international viewership. Especially with AJPW - seeming desperate to bury themselves

Yeah, I agree. I did follow Dragon Gate and All Japan along with New Japan and NOAH. Then All Japan began burying itself because of Suwama, and then Dragon Gate killed me when they did the storyline of Ultimo Dragon being Jesus and even after their storylines and feuds haven't been that great. So hopefully this makes them change that, and I do like seeing Kondo Shuji in NOAH.

NOAH and NJPW are at a WWE and WCW stage - but rather than going to war. They are combining I feel. Especially with Stardom - basically being seen as New Japan's Women Division basically now

It is, but also don't want to lose your native market either so you have balance it.

I am not super familiar with Dante Leon or Ninja Mack aside from their time in NOAH currently, but after watching them in NOAH I think Mack will be the bigger star.

Almost done with Final Bye-Bye, and the part with Dante Leon trying to the dance reminded me of when Chris Brookes did it with Maki and he was confused as hell. I also don't know who is under the persona of Ninja Mack, but watching his work he is or was a big fan of Michinoku Pro-Wrestling.
