https://twitter.com/RevProUK/status/978314561781747713 So, NJPW is running: - June 29th in the US at a video game tournament in Orlando, FL (Maybe sending people to ROH's PPV the same day, too?) - June 30th in the UK - July 1st in the UK - July 7th at the Cow Palace in the US.

Gaz-L posted:The obvious spot is actually the reverse. Okada goes for the Rainmaker, Rock ducks it and hits the Rock Bottom for 2.9. Yep. It's the spot from the Okada/EVIL G1 match that EVIL won, except with a Rock Bottom on the end instead of Everything Is Evil.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Sounds like they might be running their guys a bit ragged My guess is that Kenny's going to be the main bit of star power for the CEO show, and probably won't make the trip to England, at least not for the first show. I'd bet that the talent crossover between the CEO show and the Milton Keynes show will be small, at best.

Look at how much talent was on SSE in tag matches and how many mid carders they left in Japan and they have plenty of guys to fill out a video game show and England.

Big Coffin Hunter posted:isn't that the guy from divekick who's whole joke is he has a giant ego that inflates his head and wears a shirt with the big gold belt on it? Yeah, under the name JeFailey. In game, his kick is a drop kick, and the inflating head makes him slower and have a massive hitbox, making it very awkward to get fraud detections. At one of the first big tournaments, a guy calling himself King of Bums got pretty far with him and Jebailey offered a $500 bounty to anyone that knocked him out of the tournament.

 cards for Sakura Genesis and the Road to Korakuen are out. Mildly surprised they didn't add any non jr singles title matches to Sakura Genesis but they have three shows ney tour + a US defense at Korakuen to spread them out among. EVIL returns on this tour. Wish they had booked Gedo and TAKA as Okada and ZSJ's partners on the Korakuen. Road to Sakura Genesis March 30th at 5:30 EDT/10:30 BST Korakuen Hall Tetsuhiro Yagi vs. Ren Narita Yugi Nagata vs. Shota Umino Togi Makabe, Michael Elgin, and Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Manabu Nakanishi, and Tomoyuki Oka Juice Robinson, David Finlay, and Toa Henare vs. CHAOS (Hirooki Goto, Jay White, and Tomohiro Ishii) Hiroshi Tanahashi, KUSHIDA, and Tiger Mask IV vs. CHAOS (Toru Yano, SHO, and YOH) L.I.J (Naito, EVIL, SANADA, Hiromu, and BUSHI) vs. Suzuki-gun (Suzuki, KES, Kanemaru, and Desperado) CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada and YOSHI-HASHI) vs. Suzuki-gun (Zack Sabre Jr. and Taichi) SAKURA GENESIS 2018 April 1st at 3:00 EDT/8:00 BST Ryogoku Koukigan (Sumo Hall) Bullet Club (Yujiro and Chase Owens) vs. Young Bucks CHAOS (Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano) vs. Suzuki-gun (Takashi Iizuka and Taichi) NEVER Openweight Trios Championship: Bullet Club (Fale and GoD) vs. Makabe, Elgin, and Taguchi Hiroshi Tanahashi, Juice Robinson, and David Finlay vs. CHAOS (Hirooki Goto, Jay White, and YOSHI-HASHI) L.I.J (Tetsuya Naito, EVIL, and SANADA) vs. Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki and KES) IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Championship 3 Way:Suzuki-gun(c) (Kanemaru and Desperado vs. Roppongi 3k vs. L.I.J (Hiromu and BUSHI) IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship:Will Ospreay(c) vs. Marty Scurll Golden Lovers vs. Cody and Hangman Page IWGP Heavyweight Championship:Kazuchika Okada(c) vs. Zack Sabre Jr. Thauros fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Mar 27, 2018 |

But realistically, if we're gonna fantasy book the Cow Palace show, how does this look: IWGP Heavyweight Title Kazuchika Okada (c) vs Kenny Omega IWGP Intercontinental Title Minoru Suzuki (c) vs Kota Ibushi Chris Jericho vs Tetsuya Naito NEVER Openweight Title Juice Robinson (c) vs Hiroshi Tanahashi IWGP Jr Heavyweight Title Will Ospreay(c) vs Rey Mysterio IWGP US Title "Switchblade" Jay White (c) vs Cody IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Titles LIJ (EVIL & SANADA) (c) vs Young Bucks Plus some multi-man stuff on the undercard? Probably a bit heavy but they do need to go hard to make sure they get people in the building. (also Juice/Tana is mostly cuz I wanna see them push Juice in the US. I think because he's a full-time New Japan guy, they don't get that he'd be a good fit as a babyface star for the US expansion- maybe switch the Ace with Ishii, instead, tho,) Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Mar 27, 2018 |

I dunno. Kenny & Nick vs. Cody & Matt sounds fun. e: Just brushing their different attitudes towards Kenny aside wouldn't really fit with how they've done character development in this story so far - way too sudden and no motivation beyond "let's get this out of the way to get to the next big story beat".
