Goldberg was someone NJPW always wanted on a Dome and never could get until they finally had him booked for the 1/4/2000 Dome show, and then Goldberg cut up his arm. Can definitely understand them wanting him now.

My review of the show, cross-posted from the lucha thread: Fantasticamania - Nagoya NJPW/CMLL - 2018-01-12 File's on RealHero Archive, approximate timestamps for matches included below. 1) Drone vs Disturbio - 0:03 - OK 2) Fuego & Star Jr. vs Okumura & Puma - 0:14 - OK 3) Ángel de Oro, Jushin Liger, Ryusuke Taguchi, Tiger Mask vs Cuatrero, Rocky Romero, SHO, YOH - 0:30 - OK 4) Niebla Roja, Soberano Jr., Volador Jr. vs Bárbaro Cavernario, Gran Guerrero, Sansón - 0:49 - FUN 5) Dragón Lee, Hirai Kawato, Kushida, Satoshi Kojima vs Bushi, Hiromu Takahashi, Rush, Tetsuya Naito - 1:07 - FUN 6) Atlantis, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Mistico vs Gedo, Kazuchika Okada, Último Guerrero - 1:31 - FUN Best match was the fourth, though the Ingobernables match had a good atmosphere. No particular matches really worth going out of your way to see, this was the first show of the tour. Main event wasn't that good of a match, though Mistico and Ultimo Guerrero were very good. Tanahashi has no reason on Earth to be wrestling any matches on this tour. Notables: - I laughed out loud repeatedly at Okada being unable to correctly raise the roof. - Puma does an appeal to the crowd and then the Casita but it gets no reaction. Probably because nobody in Nagoya at a New Japan show gets his connection to Negro Casas. - They do very weird entrance orders that cause the Mexican announce to start to call match 3 as a trios match after all the New Japan guys are in the ring before the ref tells him to wait because Cuatrero and Angel de Oro are getting their own separate ring entrances. - There's like two minutes of Dragon Lee/Kamaitachi that is as beautiful and perfect as it always is. - Soberano Jr. continues to be one of the best in the world (and he's still only 24 years old). thecubsfan posted his review of the show as well.

I'm actually not shocked about the Goldberg talk. I think in a perfect world Okada gets the big foreign invader match at the Dome next year leaving Kenny and Naito for the belt on top. Can't say I'm jazzed about it from an artistic standpoint but if it drives business then cool.

I still think they're running back Okada/Naito for WK13 but we won't really know how things shake out until at least the Dominion build, if not later

who were the people before kojima/dragon lee/etcs match? e: also i'd call kojima & friends vs lij + rush a recommended watch. dragon lee and hiromu is electric as always, rush and kojima have a pretty good chemistry, lij working decidedly heel is always fun, and it has rush and naito being tranquilo bros. shiksa fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Jan 19, 2018 |

Milano’s totally retired, correct? New Japan’s not the kind of company where I’d expect a blowoff between an announcer and an active wrestler, but it would be pretty rad for Milano to get fed up and fight back and get his poo poo wrecked

Fantasticamania 2018 - Korakuen Hall Night One NJPW/CMLL - 2018-01-19 NJPW World 1) Fuego vs Okumura - 0:10 - BAD 2) Dragón Lee, Hirai Kawato, Satoshi Kojima, Star Jr. vs Bushi, Hiromu Takahashi, Rush, Tetsuya Naito - 0:21 - FUN 3) Atlantis, Drone, Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Bárbaro Cavernario, Disturbio, Puma, Último Guerrero - 0:48 - FUN 4) Ángel de Oro © vs Cuatrero [CMLL MIDDLE] - 1:25 - GOOD 5) Soberano Jr. © vs Sansón [MEX WELTER] - 1:42 - GREAT 6) Niebla Roja © vs Gran Guerrero [CMLL LH] - 2:00 - GREAT I liked match 5 slightly more than 6, but they were both really good. Soberano is one of my favorite wrestlers and Sansón's charisma is undeniable. Both Dinamitas did a good job in singles competition. The last three matches are definitely worth your time. Notables: - I have no loving time in 2018 for a "valet kiss" moment, much less one that ends with Okumura slapping Mima. Give me a break. - Rush's wife and son are seen at the end as he walks out after the match, his son has on a "Muñoz Family Hybrid Mask" incorporating Pierroth, Rush, Mistico, and Dragon Lee. - Atlantis can barely go since he just got off a long injury layoff and he's so old. Glad they took this into account when booking the card. - Crowd was good. Really bummed that they have to mute all the music because it means they mute all the intros by the Mexican announcer. thecubsfan posted his review of the show, where he liked Roja/Gran best. https://twitter.com/rushtoroblanco/status/954255836582330368

A retirement ceremony was held on February 14. He could probably work a really limited match but I doubt that's in the works

Using the same generic theme they used for everyone for Dragon Lee & Mistico instead of Dragon Lee's dub theme might be NJPW's greatest crime.
