The New Beginning in Nagoya (NJPW) - January Event #3 Results

The first NJPW event in the WPC Grand Prix certainly had a mixed bag of results, with only one person getting all their matches correct and thus becoming the first person in 2021 to get a a perfect round. This was achieved by Carter or as he is being called in this competition 'Bobby Knox' who went 5-0. A majority of the field would perform very well however, and only get one result wrong. The notable mention of these six predictor all being tied in 2nd is La Parka - who is a new entry into the Grand Prix. Lethal stays positive with 3-5, whilst both LadyHotRod and Smark ended Nagoya with a negative differential. Jimmy King was the only previous predictor who did not post a prediction for this event.

We have now had three out of our four events - meaning that we only have one last event in January. The Royal Rumble which takes place tomorrow night, that will determine the final standing for the month. Below is how the overall standing for January look after Event #3. as it stands.​

OVERALL	Name	Wins	Loss	Differential
1st.	Chris	18	3	+15
2nd.	HoHo	17	4	+13
3rd.	Juice	16	5	+11
4th.	Blaine	15	6	+9
Tied 5th.	Jimmy King [Did Not Predict]	12	4	+8
Tied 5th.	Blaze	10	2	+8
6th.	Bobby Knox [New Entry]	5	0	+5
7th.	La Parka [New Entry]	4	1	+3
Tied 8th.	Lethal Banks	11	10	+1
Tied 8th.	LadyHotRod	11	10	+1
10th.	Smark	10	11	-1

Chris is still holding a solid lead, with any betting person feeling that it would only be HoHo who could reasonably hope to bridge the game with Juice and Blaine now just outside chances at this point. Only one thing is for certain - and that is that after Sunday Night we will find out which person/s are the first ever holders of the January Cup.

February is just around - which means that apart from divisional rankings - the overall standings will be RESET for the month of February as is the nature of the WPC Grand Prix 2021. Below are the followings planned events for February - although more events may be added to this planned schedule:

First time a NJPW happened and I wasn’t on top of the score board. I lost my touch.
