Archibald Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 When they announced USA shows they said that it'll feature guys who are not on this show. I think that Ospreay is doing something in UK during this period so entire USA tour will be basically on Juice/Finlay and Best Friends? The fuck? Edit: Ishii and Nagata are not on these shows, so thats in USA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archibald Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yeah, forgot about Cobb/Goto as well. So probably for USA: Juice vs Beretta, Finlay vs Chucky, Nagata vs Ishii, Cobb vs Goto. Actually not that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So probably for USA: Juice vs Beretta, Finlay vs Chucky, Nagata vs Ishii, Cobb vs Goto. Actually not that bad. Add to that: SHO & YOH and the Killer Elite Squad aren't on any of these shows. Neither is Ospreay (like you mentioned) or Marty Scurll. Neither is Hikuelo. You've got the young lions like Kawata and Oka too, but they're both on excursion in different countries. Robbie Eagles too, but who knows if he is even considered to be on the New Japan roster these days. Maybe ROH loans out some talent to pad out the card? I don't know. I'm for sure not driving two hours if those are the marquee matches. The ONLY match I would drive that far and spend money to see live is Nagata/Ishii, and that's only because Yuji Nagata is one of my favorite wrestlers and he got me into the Japanese scene waaaay back in 2003/2004.

Archibald Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 What do I need to do to get matches against heavyweights? Is the question that I'm sure Kushida asked many times, and looks like the answer was "leave" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For having never teamed before the Super Juniors, I thought he and Sabin looked really good together. First Shelley, now Kushida. When will Chris Sabin stop being left high and dry?

Archibald Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Added Road To Cards that look somewhat interesting. Weird thing is that they have first MVP match (I think every other appearances together this year had third man on their team) and Shingo/Kanemaru, Bushi/Desperado singles matches on shows that won't be streamed. And I'm not sure if last elimination match will be streamed or not since they haven't updated their schedule yet, but I think most of them get streamed. 1 hour ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: *as he promptly gets placed on 205 Live *205 Live is not a knock on the wrestlers comprising the CW division, but as it's been stated before, the division is completely unnecessary when wrestlers of similar weight (Bryan, Rollins, Balor, AJ) have never been part of the division. More of the 205 roster should be intergrated into Raw and SD. Sure, but I meant that more in NJPW's context. He probably would have loved to get this match last year or year before, but he gets it when he is leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 White vs Tanahashi is intriguing as fuck. Before WK I would have said you absolutely don't' pull the trigger on Jay yet but, with the MSG show coming up and his clean win over Okada, I think this is the time to do it.
