Anyone want to bet they build to Tanahashi/Okada at the Dome? I swear they're going to have to do something to sell 30,000+ tickets to that show.

They announced Michael Bennett, Maria, Adam Cole, and Bobby Fish/Kyle O'Reilly appearing at the Finals.

Wow, Jeff Jarrett/NJPW partnership? No idea how to feel about that.

They've done Tana/Okada plenty of times, Okada/Shinsuke's the fresh big money match they've already started a slow build to via promos.

I'm expecting good matches from two of the next three tag matches. No points for guessing which ones.

I wonder when they'll announce iPPV plans for the G-1.

They've only expanded ippv coverage this year, I'm sure they'll have a package deal like last year.

I assumed he burned his bridges when the TNA/NJPW partnership failed. I know he was no longer the owner, but wasn't he still in a position of some authority? I guess if they're willing to work with a Texas indie that owns the NWA belts why the gently caress not?

It's time for Honma to get moved up the card, he has been one of their more under-utilized workers for a while. Maybe this match could get him into a higher-profile feud with Goto or Shibata.

I agree with this push Honma

I just wish he still kicked the ring attendant. I blame Dave for this since he stopped right after Meltzer said it was getting stale :argh:

I love Yujiro's character but dear gently caress he is sloppy as poo poo. Almost broke Ishii's neck twice on that disaster of a turnbuckle bomb and half assed Olympic Slam. If I was Ishii I'd be pissed off that the dude I was working with was this sloppy this close to G-1.

I always want to like yujiro but something about his base strike always being that lovely looking kick instead of an elbow our something drives me crazy.
