Okada/Ospreay is a must-watch. Naito/Taichi and Suzuki/Makabe are both fun for what they are.


Thank you very much for the recs. I had a great time with these matches

it'd probably be better to sleep for 3 days, that way he thinks your dead and that his job there is over.

Look at this amateur who thinks Suzuki will stop once you're dead.

He stops when he's finished.

What's up with the BOSJ Final being in Korakuen Hall this year? Seems weird that with attendance up and the G1 Final moving to Budokan that they're downsizing there.

The G1 isn't at Budokan because they want a bigger space, it's because Korakuen is being renovated in the summer, I thought?

Kevin Kelly said he'd be doing commentary on all of them. I don't know if he's going to also have Callis (or also if Rocky is going to fill in some).

Going from their banter at the Anniversary, Callis will not be there.

I thought I remembered Kelly saying that he'd be there for every show and that Callis would be there for the finals, I was just a bit unsure since the schedule on the site didn't show that.

kenny omega has also been making appearances at CEO for years. other tournaments too, but CEO already has a whole wrestling thing going on, so it makes sense. florida is not doable for me, but i think it is pretty cool that njpw's third event in the us is teaming up with a fighting game tournament.

Not the best card but even the worst New Japan show tends to be pretty solid/watchable.
