i think its the thing they've done the last couple years where they do an in-ring press conference with guys cutting promos for each match and then they bring out idols and there's a tekken event or something

There's going to be a couple matches I think. IIRC that's the show that's going to have Oka (the heavyweight otaku YL who hasn't really had a real match yet) vs Nagata. I'm having difficulty finding much more than that, but last year's had four matches including the debuts of Kawato and Kanemitsu NJPW "BIG PRO-WRESTLING FESTIVAL 2016", 03.01.2016 (NJPW World) Tokyo Differ Ariake 1. Hirai Kawato Debut Match: Yohei Komatsu besiegt Hirai Kawato (6:22) mit einem Crab Hold. 2. Teruaki Kanemitsu Debut Match: Sho Tanaka besiegt Teruaki Kanemitsu (5:15) mit einem Crab Hold. 3. Ryusuke Taguchi, Máscara Dorada & David Finlay besiegen Jushin Thunder Liger, Tiger Mask & Jay White (8:40) nach dem Dorada Screwdriver von Dorada gegen White. 4. Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima & Juice Robinson besiegen Yuji Nagata, Manabu Nakanishi & Captain New Japan (10:56) nach einer Lariat von Kojima gegen Captain.

mods please change my name to Mit Einem Crab Hold Anyone who's not excited to see the big beefy young lion is lying to themselves. New Japan needs a new Nakanishi for the future

G-1 is coming to America http://411mania.com/wrestling/more-on-njpw-holding-g1-events-in-the-us/ quote:Last week it was reported that New Japan Pro Wrestling is looking to make a move into the US market. Rocky Romero and Tiger Hattori were in Southern California making plans for expansion of business. There is talk of the company running shows on their own in 2017 (they have previously run joint shows with ROH); the target is starting the G-1 Climax tournament’s opening days in late July in the US. Joint shows with PWG in Reseda maybe?

they're deliberately not doing this with ROH because they want to do their own thing and look major league not run a shithole like the legion

You're really underestimating what a poo poo hole minor league thing wrestling in the legion really is no matter how good the wrestling is.

PWInsider:quote:The current plan is for New Japan Pro Wrestling to run the first two nights of the 2017 G-1 Climax tournament in July at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California. But as I said on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SoDuTw/status/814522749276327936 Personally PWInsider seems to be deliberately posting erroneous information. Those shows aren't G1 shows and Mike Johnson is greatly downplaying George's role in ROH - I think even contradicting his own reporting about George.

Watching "On the Road" with Tama Tonga and I wish it was more of him talking and less of him working out. The ending where we get to learn about who he is, and why he is in wrestling was good.
