So what's with the rainmaker name? Does it mean like it means here, with throwin' money around, and if so, it's that why there's a coin drop?

Yeah, he's got money rain entrances for a lot of his big matches.

Rocky Romero is basically replacing Ibushi in all of his matches.

Rocky had the best NJPW match last year so I can't be too mad about this

GEORGE W BUSHI posted:

Also looks like NJPW is going to end up on Viceland. Americans will have to let me know how that compares to being on AXS

I've heard of it thanks to Desus and Mero and I don't watch TV, so it's probably better compared to a channel nobody I know has ever seen

Goto liking horse sashimi and Sanada saying his favorite food is wine are both entirely unsusprising

he took that one bump from his enzuigiri entirely on his shoulder, I don't know that he'd be doing anything that could hit his head again

There's a few ZSJ vs Chuck Taylor matches that make me think it's going to be great, too. If you've only seen Chuck in AEW and NJPW he's kind of just been a dedicated pin taker but their PWG title match in 2017 (I think it was on Pushin Forward Back?) is incredible and very similar to a current Moxley match. They also have a no ring falls count anywhere one in a bar that doesn't have great wrestling exactly but does show a lot of Zack working a way more chaotic match than his normal NJPW stuff.

It's Yoshi-Hashi in that 6-man on the 22nd, not Goto wrestling twice that night.

RPG3K vs Mega Coaches seems like it could be a really fun match.

They haven't canceled shows at the end of the month yet so there's a chance they really sprint through the cup then (which you could do by cutting undercard tags), but they haven't actually said anything

Gedo's probably in town for the Bullet Club thing anyways (and probably to talent scout), right? Got to keep an eye on his boys.

the real danger of doing G1 and BOSJ at the same time is Ospreay is going to try and convince them to put him in both, and will explode on night 9

I thought Cody ruled in njpw. At least for a while. He just sux everywhere else

rando thought: Teddy hart. Scumbag club. Is he alive somewhere and only partially strung out? bupe him up enough to moves on bushi

I haven't checked recently but there's a good chance he's in prison or something

I'm sorry, are they saying Yoshi-Hashi fights with his HEART? Guy looks like he wouldn't bother kicking out of a body slam.

He ran so hard to go protect Okada from Jay White that he tripped and took himself out of action for like two months

In 2017 specifically you probably want to see like... Destruction in Hiroshima, Destruction in Kobe, King of Pro Wrestling, Power Struggle, the World Tag League finals, the Road to Tokyo Dome shows, and then obviously Wrestle Kingdom 12 and New Year Dash

I would never write off a man who, upon hearing he's going to be debuting as a martial artist gimmick called the Grandmaster, decides to go get gear that makes him look like some sort of pajamas wizard. He's got dangerous depths, is what that says to me

Is it possible he MEANT to do the Ibushi double knee-sault and just overshot?

Didn't he do one in the match with DOUKI? You might be right.

Not that I want to take anything away from the Flipping Wrist-Crusher he did here
