No, it seems that the actual stated reason for his absence was the real reason and there's nothing shady going on despite the speculation. He was included in the roster in the Dominion program I got.

Does anyone know a website where I can buy Weekly Pro-Wrestling online? Really want to get this week's copy. I'll pay a premium if one of the good brothers in Japan wants to pick me up a copy and ship to California...

E: I know Amazon has some back issues (some good ones at that I should probably pick up) but I don't see this weeks w/ Kenny and Kota on the cover after Kenny's win.

His post match promo after Dominion was my favorite of the night. I love/hate that he is leaning into "I'm going to die in the ring and there's nothing I can do about it".

Is it weird that until this picture I didn't even realise the Bucks had their NEVER titles with them? I completely zoned those titles out during the show.

Even with that you still care more about those titles than Gedo

Has NJPW historically always been made up of a handful of factions? It's crazy actually seeing it all written out like this.

After BOSJ, the upset girlfriend should be Hiromu, the boyfriend should be Dragon Lee and the other woman should be Despy.

I still want Jericho to join Suzuki-Gun, and also for Jericho to piss off Suzuki at some point, perhaps when he tries to make it Jericho-Gun.

Jericho is gonna leave New Japan eventually and I can't think of much better than Suzuki murdering him to send him on his way.

That would be an excellent surprise if the lights went out and suddenly he showed up to cause ruckus. Who knows what deals he has in place given the need to sell tickets to the cruise (which I hope does well, sounds like it's not struggling but isn't sold out and is touch and go).

btw shout out to Kelly and Callis for being really good in general (I know the rule is watch main events in Japanese, but, go back and watch Omega/Okada IV in English if you haven't yet), but in particular Callis just sold the hell out of Okada's dropkick when he screamed "GOD DAMMIT!" when Omega went for a V-Trigger and ate the dropkick during the 3rd fall.

I enjoy the fact that despite ostensibly being a heel announcer, Don unabashedly loves Omega, thinks Cody's a piece of poo poo, and is terrified of MiSu (although this is less impressive since most folks would run like a bastard from him).

Heel announcers with shades of gray are the way to go.

i think kelly and callis are a good announce team, period. certainly better than any combination wwe regularly puts out there.

and don got as emotional as anyone could at kenny winning, that call was basically an orgasm on his part.

btw i was describing to my wife the over-arching story of kenny not being able to win the title until the golden lovers re-united and kota was in his corner, and the bucks overcoming their issues with kenny and reconciling, and she absolutely loved it, just eating the whole thing up. i mean, its the defining love story of our times, so that makes sense, but i wouldn't be 100% shocked if she ended up buying a golden elite shirt at some point.

It's a good, fairly simple story, and apparently Kenny and the Bucks came up with the whole thing.

NJPW is responsible for me still caring about wrestling, and I thank them for that.

He was telling still Kenny to hook the leg about three seconds after he had won the championship. It was great.
