This show's a little confusing for those in the eastern time zone as gong time is the set for the exact moment the clocks fall back an hour for us.

For a full preview check out Voices of Wrestling


POWER STRUGGLE
SUPER JR TAG LEAGUE 2019
November 3rd at 1:00 EST/2:00 EDT/6:00 GMT
EDION ARENA OSAKA


Liger, TMIV, Taguchi, and Uemura vs. Volador Jr, Titán, TJP, and Clark Connors
CHAOS (Rocky Romero and Robbie Eagles) vs. Bullet Club (El Phantasmo and Taiji Ishimori)
L.I.J (EVIL, SANADA, and Shingo Takagi) vs. Suzuki-gun (Zack Sabre Jr, Minoru Suzuki, and Lance Archer)
Kazuchika Okada and YOSHI-HASHI vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kota Ibushi
Special Single Match:Tetsuya Naito vs. Taichi
Super Jr. Tag League Final:Suzuki-gun (Yoshinobu Kanemaru and El Desperado) vs. Roppongi 3K
NEVER Openweight Championship:KENTA(c) vs. Tomohiro Ishii
IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship:Will Ospreay(c) vs. BUSHI
IWGP Intercontinental Championship:Jay White(c) vs. Hirooki Goto


Last major show before the dome and as a bonus it's at a reasonable time for North America on a sunday. Card is solid and even if some of the singles matches look to have obvious winners they have a good chance of delivering in the ring. KENTA vs. Ishii is the most interesting feud currently in the company and the Super Jr Tag League Final surprised many by only involving two teams unlike last year. As a bonus we should know much more about the direction for many of the non world title related Wrestle Kingdom matches after tonight.

BUSHI gonna be so confused, he's used to having like 3 hours to shower and redo his makeup and nails before leaving the arena, not just 30 minutes.

Slightly startled that Power Struggle gets a full thread of its own but no complaints. Unlike the start of the show, I woke up before 6am to watch this (and also ensure I had time to get breakfast & make tea & generally be prepared to not leave my seat for the next few hours) and it feels unnatural.

So is this the first match (I'm assuming that I didn't miss a match in the eight minutes between the top of the hour and getting done with my shower).

Uemura vs. Captain Connors is a gr

Liger vs. Captain Connors is a better start.

Is TJP an upgrade for "lovely sex pervert westerner" over Michael Elgin, I managed to get into New Japan regularly after Elgin pissed off.

I think Big Mike at his best is better, but TJP is better recently? Elgin has fallen into his worst habits of just doing MOVEZ which is very 2006.

ELP really is impressive.

I really wonder how El-P talks people into doing spots like that. “Yeah I’ll just put you over my shoulders while I do a tightrope walk on the top rope, and then DVD you into Robbie, it’ll be easy!”

This one goes out to all the Legomaniacs!
It really is awesome to see the reception Robbie is getting since joining New Japan. It’s great to share the joy of watching someone I’ve been a fan of for so long.

elgin's grossness had more of a discrete flashpoint whereas tjp just has like an ambient creepiness so it's probably an upgrade

TJP also never bragged about pissing on a woman while Kevin Owens was like “oh god please don’t tell this story again”, so yeah, definite upgrade

I think all of TJP's creepiness is about his opinions on why he can't get laid. It seems mildly better than forcing himself on women like Elgin did.

Lance is going to loving kill Finlay, probably at Tag League Finals or something.

I hope someone from LIJ pins Archer. Not because I don't like Archer I just want one of them welcomed into the Murderhawk Mansion.

And then run it back on the other night of WK. And at Dash. And at every single show in 2020. You'd not get bored of it.

Well, running back Sanada vs. Zack at some point isn't a BAD idea.

ZSJ vs. Sanada is a very good match.
