The first major US show since they changed their model for strong airs tonight US time . It's a PPV as they're all going to be sadly, but it's a reasonable price at $19.99 on FITE. New Japan World is also an option for those who prefer Japanese commentary but it's slightly more expensive at 2990¥ so i'd recommend the former unless it's locked in your region or you really loathe kevin kelly. It's probably the strongest US lineup since COVID headlined by Okada vs. Tanahashi and Mercedes' first match since leaving WWE. If you have any interest in the company and live in North America I'd recommend checking out a show live at a reasonable timeframe if you have the time/money to spare. FITE.TV NJPW World Main card begins at 22:00 EST/3:00 GMT/12:00 JST tonight. Preshow begins 40 minutes beforehand. BATTLE IN THE VALLEY February 18th at 22:00 EST/February 19th at 3:00 GMT/12:00 JST Main Card San Jose Civic Center NJPW WORLD/FITE PPV Preshow 40 Minutes before Gong: Kickoff Match:David Finlay vs. Bobby Fish Kickoff Match:Alex Coughlin vs. JR Kratos Main Card: Kushida, Knight, Volador Jr, and DKC vs. Mascara Dorada, Adrian Quest, Josh Alexander, and Rocky STRONG Openweight Championship:Fred Rosser(c) vs. KENTA STRONG Openweight Tag Championship:Motor City Machine Guns(c) vs. West Coast Wrecking Crew Loser Leaves New Japan:Eddie Kingston vs. Jay White Filthy Rules-No DQ/No Ropes:Tom Lawlor vs. Homicide NJPW World TV Championship:Zack Sabre Jr.(c) vs. Clark Connors IWGP Women's Championship:KAIRI(c) vs. Mercedes Moné IWGP World Heavyweight Championship:Kazuchika Okada vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi

Probably the bets overall US card and hell 19,99 for probably the last time Tanahashi/Okada for the title seems like a bargain

Cool, a show that starts so late US time that I’ll probably wake up in the morning UK time just in time for the main event

I don't know if I'll pay for a US PPV once a month but this one looks really good so I'm in.

I stayed up watching the NOAH Muta shows, this show will be a lot easier to handle than those were. If I remember right, Muta and Nakamura went on at about 5 AM Central Time

Will this eventually go up on New Japan World after a delay like the NOAH PPV did?

I thought this was at a larger venue. I guess maybe I got my shows mixed up. Kratos looks lean which is good for him but it will be less impressive when Coughlin tosses him around. Chinston Wurchill fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Feb 19, 2023 |

The lack of commentary is allowing me to appreciate Coughlin's ridiculous theme in a way I never have before.

On a positive note the lighting and camera work is better than usual for NJPW USA.

Had 20 Fite credits so I figured I’d use them on this show. Feed is immediately broken. Cool! I knew the show wouldn’t be the same production value as stuff in Japan because they just can’t figure out how to teach that, I guess, but I hoped it’d actually work.
