It would have to be WK split as they have done with Dontaku. NYD is always fun but it’s essentially a glorified house show and who really wants to sit in the dome and watch a bunch of six-man tags.
Personally it’s a horrible idea and destroys the mystique of 1/4. Business wise however I guess you have too many punters not to see if this works. Would be nuts to try and move NYD to another building so the reality is this is the only option that make sense.

It’s completely intentional, you can tell from the setting and execution. No delay, no fumbling to grab the head. That’s what makes it all the more nutty.
At some point agents have to step in and say hang on a minute boys. There’s a million other things you could do which might not result in paralysis. It adds nothing and just looks like a botch, it’s hard to even class as a spot as it’s so awkward. One less stupid bump per match would go a long way in life in the ring and beyond.

The Suzuki bump is ridiculous. The really sad part is you can tell from both guys movement it’s exactly what they planned. Bookers should be handing down fines to convince guys to stop doing stupid shit like that.

Quick note from Tokyo that last nights bjw tag title match was off the charts. Easily the best match I've ever seen live. Insanely stiff, perfectly executed and crowd going batshit. Watching live, absolutely flawless. It's on samurai in a week or so, so I won't spoil the content, safe to say that the capper was a ridiculous spot right before the finish.

The usual displays of unreaearched and lazy 'journalism' are your typical disgrace.
The head scissors was very awkward and could have easily caused damage. The confusion is his awareness that he missed his landing and was able to jump straight back into the ring to reposition. If the rana caused traumor any further contact could have sealed it.
Regardless, it's an absolute tragedy.

Tana and Okada are just incredible. It's such great story telling as well, no bells and whistles.
I fully expected Tanahashi to win being the dome and their most widely seen show. He's their biggest draw and star. If they don't draw this storyline out to headline wk 2016 I'd be astounded.

Just give the original ago, it was flat out fantastic.
I was considering giving Gracepoint a go, but one view of the trailer is quite enough. I'm sure by the climax they might construct something that differs but the trailer is enough to suggest its a shot for shot remake complete with carbon copy American actors and Tennant retreading old ground with some kind of American accent.

Is there any buzz on negotiations for AJPW tv? There is nothing scheduled for gaora or samurai upcoming.

This far in and not one gag about wanting to see a video of Emma performing self service? The shame.

It's absolutely terrific. Webb really has a handle on balance between human drama and comic book glee. Easily the best Spidey flick past the second entry in the Raimi series. Garfield is just awesome.

If none of you have seen it, Broadchurch was tremendous. To hell with the American remake, the original is a fantastic whodunit with top notch acting, writing and direction. The first episode was one of the most captivating pieces of tv making I've seen since Twin Peaks.

NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13 in Tokyo Dome 1/4/19
in JAPAN

WWE simply wants to cripple pro wrestling outside of its universe, plain and simple. I’m actually surprised more fans are not expressing outrage at this.
Pro wrestling is at its strongest world wide that it’s been for years. You really can’t blame guys for taking the money, easy money at that for how much they will be used and promoted. It’s sad because we are almost establishing worldwide territories and Vince just wants to monopolise rather than let the industry breath and take guys as and when.
As a puroresu fan I’m now really seeing how important the first Okada v Omega match was and will be looked back on. It totally changed the visibility of Japanese pro wrestling worldwide and influenced the interest of fans and promoters and standards of match quality.
For the record I don’t think Kenny will go to Vince. Not yet anyway. I don’t think AEW would be moving without him and I don’t think he would be that hypocritical. He’s on a good wicket and he has goals to kick before he does anything with Vince.
