? This leads to a Taichi/Okada main event. Can't wait.

And going off of the NYD tag match, both EVIL/Ishii and particularly Goto/Shingo will be lovely.

On the other hand, those NJPW in US shows can kiss my ass. I'll watch the Zayne matches out of curiosity, with a close eye on the Rock 'n' Roll six man.

what's a Gabriel Kidd?

UK guy that was accepted into LA Dojo by Shibata on some RevPro show, this happened like 6 - 8 months ago. I think he was on some Japan shows after that near the ringside with other young lions.

He wasn't good when I saw him but that was like 2-3 ago when he was still 18-19 years old. I'd guess that if he didn't improve then Shibata wouldn't have taken him.

The Japan shows look fun.

The USA shows look breathtakingly dull.  I’m not sure these even qualify as glorified as house shows.  They’re just house shows.  I guess if you want to see Tanahashi, Ibushi, Nagata, or Kojima run through the motions in person bad enough, then it’s worth it, but I couldn’t imagine paying good money to see them beat the Bullet Club B-team and some Young Lions.

If this is what the US expansion was all about (and without TV, this is pretty much all it’s ever gonna be), you wonder if it was even worth it.

I’ll go to any shows they run in the Bay Area but I’m certainly not traveling. The cheapest tickets are $30 and the shows won’t sell out so just go with those. It’s gonna be a good quality show, but yeah, definitely nothing to write home about.
