I was a bit cold on ZSJ's initial matches in NJPW when he went toe to toe striking with much beefier dudes, but I'm loving his more recent submission and counter based technique. Sabre/Tanahashi would be an interesting final given Zack's inability to submit the very injured Tanahashi last year and the recent damage Suzuki did.

It's kind of a dark horse scenario, especially cause I just remembered the Suzuki/Naito tease from today.

I wonder if Cody doesn't end up with Bullet Club, but it's made up of mostly handpicked new guys. I could see Kenny and the Bucks separating, and the Tongans do their own thing.

Yujiro would go with the Tongans, though. Also I think if they run Okada/Tanahashi at all this year, it's Dominion or bust. Osaka-jo Hall is the one big 10,000+ seat arena they use that they've never actually run the match in (they wrestled at Dominion last in 2012, at Bodymaker), and Tanahashi defending his streak of defenses as Okada defends his title has a lot more drawing power than Okada vs. Tanahashi to get them to a tie on defenses.

If they go this route, they'll be leaving money off the table if they don't make a shirt that's a parody of Giant-Sized X-Men #1. The All-New, All-Different Bullet Club. As for the Cow Palace, I heard that Meltzer said NJPW had a hold on a date in July at that venue.

 This is my first time really seeing Zack Sabre Jr and I love this beautiful octopus socialist. Where has he been all my life?  SANADA having no time for Yano's bullshit was also extremely my jam

zsj is amazingly good and the way he has trained njpw crowds to treat his submission attempts like death is truly amazing i hope he wins the new japan cup and beats okada and then socialism flourishes across the world

St Evan Echoes posted:Dave speculated that they may go to the Cow Palace in the summer. No idea if he heard that from somewhere, or if he just said it and now everyone is using his idle musing as an official source (as usual) On WOR he sounded like he was speculating, but in WON he said that they have reserved a date on 7/7, which would indicate wheels are in motion and it's above the level of wishful thinking. Also noted Jericho doesn't have Fozzy around that date. It's a quick turn around and they've got to come strong with a PPV-level show, but that match is a good start if that's the plan. Also I think scheduling wise that's a good spot for the last IWGP title before G1 since it's about a month after Dominion and Kizuna Road is a smaller tour. sigmachiev fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Mar 15, 2018 |

Is there a wrestling term for a guy who's a total heel in ring but absolutely lovely outside of it. ..poo poo I was right, ZSJ is absolutely the heir to Minoru Suzuki, he just needs to start clattering young lions.

I wasn't that into Sabre in the CWC but him as a vicious heel who'll twist up your limbs in hosed up ways just for fun is very much doing it for me. He should win the whole tournament

I've seen Chuckie T defeat ZSJ in person. So, I know the secret to beating ZSJ is having really long legs.

here comes the spunk posted:Is it wrong that I like to watch Chase Owens wrestle? Not at all. He plays his role well, I think - cocky, a decent moveset, a good finisher, and the routine where he steals everyone’s moves, gets nowhere and eats poo poo for it is one of my small joys. Everyone in NJPW is good at their job. Except Iizuka, who’s apparently a deathmatch nightmare who’s been asked to be a goof? I don’t get him.
