Curt McGirt Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Yoshihashi and Yoshitatsu should be a tag team. The team of the underperforming Yoshis! I'm also signed off on Goto holding the Triple Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Ibushi to AJPW. Just for the Vs Kento bouts. Tanahashi and Makabe and Gotoh and Sanada to Noah. To change the Noah style to the yukes era style in the main event. Plus Marufuji adores Fujinami so why not inject Dragon Style in the show with Tanahashi and Sanada. Anyway none of this stuff will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Sumo hall show eh? It will be full. Expect lot of tags. I guess this will also count as AJP's annual sumo hall show, so they might do something similar what the NJPW/AJP 40th show did with Jun vs Kea for the Triple Crown.

Beech27 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Big Japan and Wrestle-1 are signed on as well, which makes it even easier to fill out tags, and (probably) keep NOAH and New Japan apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they’re hyping if up as a dream match card? Interesting. Maybe we do get a few singles. Just now, Control said: Violent Giants v Golden Lovers book it Gimme Tanahashi vs. Kento and I’m happy.

Control Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I somewhat worry that putting Kento in the ring with Tanahashi might make his Tanahashi 2.0 act a bit obvious. Or am I overstating the comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 14 minutes ago, Control said: Violent Giants v Golden Lovers book it That would practically get DDT on the show too. Love it. Is also wouldn’t be surprised to see Kento and Tana leading opposing 3 or 4 man teams, giving us the moment where the crowd makes the comparison as they finally step into the ring. I don’t think that would hurt Kento a bit. Unlikely, but maybe we do see one of the sub-main New Japan guys take a shot at the GHC or TC. I also really want Akiyama versus Okada. I know the outcome there is a given, but we’re much more likely to avoid endless draws if the matchups are slightly asymmetrical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Kento vs Tana would end in a draw game if it's booked. Shows like this tend to protect wrestlers. Might have a Battle royal probably, with lower or mid card guys from all Feds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevendaughters Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Kenny, in his early days as champ, talked about wanting to face Shuji Ishikawa on a big stage. This feels like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The card will most likely be full of tags. Any singles matches would be Zeus or whoever the TC champ will be vs Gotoh or Ikeman. It is Baba themed. Don't forget possible Cima and his strong hearts who wrestle in W-1. They could show up. Probably expect tag themes of top Heels vs Faces tag, new guys tags., junior tags Etc.

sevendaughters Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Yeah I can see them doing something like Tanahashi, Kento, and Sugi vs. BODYGAH, Okada, and Nakajima. And I wouldn't complain. But Kenny has been getting those matches he wanted. Like multiples with Ishii, and saving Ibushi, etc. idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 For the All Stars event https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/1157950/ They mentioned Tanahashi (he grew up watching AJPW) and Omega, Jun and the flow of Baba, Noah's connection and Marufuji being Baba's last disciple. More stuff with Bjw links. Mutoh and Onita etc. It's very much Baba themed as I said and less Inoki. Hopefully they use a AJPW similar ring for this event.

sevendaughters Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Meij's goons attacking gifmakers. Lariato got some takedowns, BulletClubITAL banned. I know they were active on copyright before, most Japanese companies are, but I choose to read it as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Lariato specifically said it was a complaint from within the company, so... well, it would be a mistake, if so. They've benefited substantially from the symbiotic relationship between company and fan content producers, which also helps to cultivate that whole "we're all in this together/you're not just consuming a product" ethos that wrestling typically does well with.
