Felt this deserved it's GDT to hype the show since it's live. If you're one of those people who enjoyed WK9 but haven't kept up now's the time to pay attention again since this is the biggest show they've run since. AJ Styles vs Ibushi for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship should be amazing and has the potential to be a strong MOTYC. AJ's been great in NJPW and Ibushi's big main event quality matches have all been spectacular. This is a really noteworthy main event beyond the talents of both men as the NJPW main event picture since 2012 has been dominated by three men: Tanahashi, Nakamura, and Okada. I started following NJPW that year and I've never seen a heavyweight singles main event without one of the big three, and you have to go all the way back to Makabe vs. Kojima in October 2010 to find a title match without one of them in it. NJPW's faith in AJ and Ibushi has been rewarded with the quickest sellout of Sumo Hall in over a decade aside from the G1 and a couple special Anniversary Shows for legendary wrestlers. Should be a great show in front of a hot packed house and you should definitely watch if you have any interest in the product at all. NJPW World is cheap as hell and the signup's easy. As a bonus there's still a couple more shows later this month you get included with your subscription. Thauros fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Apr 4, 2015 |

Kinda feel like Ibushi's gonna take it here. He's been on fire lately and I think they know he's in his prime and they have to pull that trigger soon. I don't know what AJ's travel schedule is like, but with all the US indie dates he does, I wonder if he's sick of flying back to Japan all the time or if he just stays there in between.

He doesn't do that many dates in Japan, this was the first full tour he's done in a while I think. There's definitely been times where he's had to work in Japan, immediately fly back to America, and then immediately fly back to Japan tho.

For someone who hasn't watched since WK9, what matches should I watch in preparation for this? A lot of titles have changed hands it seems.

Kaveman posted:For someone who hasn't watched since WK9, what matches should I watch in preparation for this? The New Beginning in Osaka was where almost all of the title changes were, and it's a good show. Obviously New Japan Cup was where a bunch of storylines for this started, but it's mostly simple like (I'm obviously about to spoil the Cup, so don't read it you'd rather watch it before tonight): Yano cheated and beat Tanahashi, so they are in a program, same for Fale beating Okada. Ibushi won the Cup and challenged for the title which sets up the main event. Edit: Oh, and to account for the NEVER title, watch Honma vs Ishii at New Beginning in Sendai. Makabe missed the card due to the flu, which means he forfeited the title. Honma vs Ishii, on short notice, was given five stars by Dave. The NWA World Heavyweight title also changed hands on this card. Sub Rosa fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Apr 4, 2015 |

It sold out Invasion Attack, so I'd be curious to see what a return match could do.

Still think Styles wins but Id be very down to see Ibushi pull the upset and take his rightful place alongside the big three as a main event champion caliber guy.

Just feels like Ibushi has momentum This is probably more Western booking logic than anything, but I can see them not minding AJ taking the title off Tanahashi but not quite yet wanting Ibushi to be the one to do it, where Ibushi over AJ would be fine. Tanahashi/Ibushi for the title could be a money feud for WK10 once Tana's had some rest.

I do think it's treading dangerous territory to hotshot the belt again this quick though.

Trying to keep myself up long enough to see at least a portion of the show live. Not sure I'll make the whole thing; I think with WK9 I was only able to stay up for the first hour or so, but it's super fun following along with the thread. It reminds me of being a kid and staying up super late to watch (or setting my VCR to record) ECW at 2 or 3 in the morning.
