The Natural Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Looking forward to both, more so Jon Moxley vs. Minoru Suzuki. That's a match I've wanted to see since Moxley joined New Japan Pro Wrestling. Edited January 8, 2020 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited January 8, 2020 by Oyaji 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archibald Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 1 hour ago, sevendaughters said: 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.

EVA Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordi the former AEW fan Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) My friend went to Lawson to buy tickets and they were all sold out. It's possible that only the 2nd floor seats (the ones in our price range) were sold out. Edited January 9, 2020 by gordi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
