New Japan runs their biggest card since the Dome in a sold out Sumo Hall in a few hours. The undercard is a fairly typical array of multiman matches featuring young lions, old guys, and midcarders but the top of the card is terrific. The main event features Okada defending the IWGP title against New Japan Cup winner Katsuyori Shibata in an amazingly fresh matchup and the semi-main features the top two juniors in the company in a rematch of their amazing bout at Wrestle Kingdom 11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcYz4UUixeo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf_GvPnYA8U https://twitter.com/TIMEBOMB1105/status/850686226898104321 Sakura Genesis April 9th 2018 at 3:00 EDT/8:00 BST Ryogoku Koukigan (Sumo Hall) Manabu Nakanishi, Jushin Liger, and David Finlay vs. Young Lions (Tomoyuki Oka, Kitsuya Kitamura, and Hirai Kawato) Yuji Nagata, Togi Makabe, Tiger Mask W, and Tiger Mask IV vs. Bullet Club (G.O.D, Yujiro, and Chase Owens) CHAOS (YOSHI-HASHI and RPG Vice) vs. Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki, Taichi, and El Desperado) IWGP Jr Heavy Tag Championship:Taichi and Yoshinobu Kanemaru(c)(SZKG) vs. Jado and Gedo (CHAOS) CHAOS (Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano) vs. Bullet Club (Kenny Omega and Bad Luck Fale) Tana, Juice, Taguchi, and Ricochet vs. L.I.J (Naito, SANADA, BUSHI, and EVIL IWGP Tag Championship:Ten-Cozy(c) vs. War Machine NEVER Openweight Championship:Hirooki Goto(c)(CHAOS) vs. Zack Sabre Jr(SZKG) IWGP Jr Heavyweight Championship:Hiromu Takahashi(c)(L.I.J) vs. KUSHIDA IWGP Heavyweight Championship:Kazuchika Okada(c)(CHAOS) vs. Katsuyori Shibata Thauros fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Apr 9, 2017 |

I really want ZSJ to get enough belts to wear them as a suit. Like, a full suit. Ultimo Dragon style isn't nearly enough.

My heart says Shibata, but my brain says that Okada will drop the belt to Omega in the summer.

Word from the arena from some Twitters is the crowd is totally packed and it's a full sell out. I think I want Shibata, and think he does win, but it's a rare match for me where I dig both guys and whoever gets me during the match is going to get my support. Stoked.

Not sure if I like Hiromu/KUSHIDA II this early as it's too early for either to lose imo but the match should be amazingJack Anderson posted:Gonna check this out live as probably the only ZSJ fan on this forum. You def have some company now especially since he became more politically vocal and released anti-fascist t-shirts.
