Awesome, thank you.

Taken from that, the synopsis seems to be:

Naito: That IC belt is garbage and clearly you want to fight me because you know I'll beat you and then you'll be rid of it.
Suzuki: Who the hell do you think you are? Lying on the ground like that is suitable since you're a piece of poo poo.
Naito: Wow you're really pissed off, relax! :lol:

Edit: Incessant Excess has the full thing above :)

Very.

NJPW hasn’t run there in a long while; it’s a bigger building than Ryogoku, second really only to Tokyo Dome (or other domes around Japan); and Budokan has a lengthy history, hosting tons of big AJPW and NJPW shows throughout the boom times of wrestling in Japan.

Inoki vs Ali happened there. Also, last time New Japan ran a show there on there own was 2003.

Pretty sure the last wrestling show there was NOAH for Kobashi's last match

Yep, and successfully running a show there can only mean great things for NJPW going forward. Provided of course that Ibushi contains his free spirit and allows himself to be constrained creatively, which seems highly likely!

Okay, that's really cool. Three straight nights there, probably gonna be some super hot crowds. :stoked:

I mean, I haven't given a poo poo about these belts since Funky Future dropped them, but Roppongi 3K just immediately winning them on their first try again would've devalued them a lot more, imo.

I don't think they should have lost them in the first place, if they wanted them to be a hot new team they should have had them go on a relatively lengthy reign (which for these belts means like 6-7 months). But then for all Gedo's many strengths tag team wrestling seems to be his blindspot. Ironic since he and Jado made their names as a tag team didn't they?
