full preview up at voices of wrestling New Japan's first major show since the G1 ended is tomorrow. It's easily more stacked than usual for the annual November Power Struggle show since it's filling the role that King of Pro Wrestling usually did of being the biggest normal show between G1 and Wrestle Kingdom. The IWGP Heavyweight title is being defended in Osaka in november for the first time 2013. Even beyond that it's a loaded card with all singles matches. EVIL main events are always divisive at best but the NEVER and briefcase matches should provide more conventional workrate fare to those watching for that reason and Great O-Khan's first singles match post excursion is intriguing. POWER STRUGGLE 2020 November 7th at 3:00 EST/8:00 GMT/17:00 JST OSAKA EDION ARENA Provisional KOPW 2020 No Corner Pads Match:Toru Yano(c) vs. Zack Sabre Jr. NEVER Openweight Championship:Minoru Suzuki(c) vs. Shingo Takagi Special Single Match:Kazuchika Okada vs. Great-O-Khan IWGP US Championship Challenger Briefcase:KENTA(h) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi IWGP Double Gold Challenger Briefcase:Kota Ibushi(h) vs. Jay White IWGP Double Gold Championship Match:Tetsuya Naito(c) vs. EVIL Thauros fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Nov 7, 2020 |

God what a fantastic card. One of the "weakest" matches is the main event and I'm still sure it's gonna be pretty good.

Very excited to watch the second best wrestling show I'll be watching today. Maybe the third best if Capitol Combat 90 turns out to be any good.

Is this a new theme for Zack or am I just being weirded out that the show's not opening with the Young Lion music?

Are the corner pads still on purely so Yano can remove them? Oh nevermind, commentary just cleared it up: there will be a "removal ceremony".

Yano would've taken those corner pads off quicker

Yano if you don't want anyone to go into the steel turnbuckles maybe you should have kept the pads on

ZSJ is a weirdly perfect foil for Yano. Responds to Yano's mayhem with his own dry humour. It's like watching Stewart Lee fight a clown.
