Kenny and Will just did a tremendous amount to build for their match in that one promo. Will hinting at Ibushi was the juice this needed.

I know I've seen TJ & the Aussie Open lads reference Akira's total inability to do up a tie before. TBH just endears him to me even more.

How fast do they tend to rattle through the matches? New Japan shows seem to me to be quite light on filler between matches when I’ve watched the G1 etc, but I’ve never been able to catch WK live before.

I’m basically trying to work out whether I’m going to have time to watch the whole thing live before starting work at midday GMT

Just to double check so I don’t wreck my sleep schedule for nothing - main show starts 12 hours from now, correct?

The matches can be quite long - ones involving guys at or near the main event level can easily go 30+ minutes (be prepared for anywhere between 40+ minutes to almost an hour for Ospreay v. Omega and Jay v. Okada).

After each match, there’s usually a brief window to clear the ring, before the next set of lands are headed down to the ring.

The last few WKs are just shy of 5 hours on NJPW World. I'm not sure if the recorded versions chop off dead space in the preshow, but this preshow is pretty stacked with matches so there may not be a need to do so.

So pre-show at 12:30 Central time? That is right on the cusp of if I can get a nap in or just plow ahead for a long night. Looking forward to it regardless!

Every time I stay up for NJPW I always think I'm going to get to go to sleep soon when there are 3 matches left except those matches invariably take 45m each
