Jenalysis Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Looking like Buddy Murphy is going to be part of NJPW and UE (probably their junior) Ospreay leaked stuff on twitter strongly hinting at it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I just got my ticket for the October 16th show at the ECW Arena. This will be my second time seeing New Japan live, counting the show with ROH @ MSG in 2019. Who am I most excited to see there? EL Phantasmo.

He also threw around hints about Brown and Hero so its not clear if he is doing that to "hide" Buddy reveal or its all bunch of bulllshit and his partner is someone else entirely.

Evil Otto Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 You've probably already figured it out, but they've changed the schedule to Saturdays going forward (or Sunday mornings for me). By the way, a tremendous episode. Crowds for NJ Strong now officially exist going forward! Lots of big names. Brutality. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Otto Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 If you feel like cherry-picking from the past 3 or 4 weeks, most of the matches were solid, but I would strongly recommend Coughlin vs. Ishii, Rosser vs. Narita, and Lawlor vs. Narita. In particular, the last two matches, and if you only choose one, the last one. Lawlor-Narita was outstanding, and the less I say about it, the better. Just watch it if you can. But, if you're curious... Spoiler Narita goes full Shibata in this match. Almost literally. It's something to behold. The first clue of something different being afoot is the beard. The slow build until the full realization by Lawlor, the announcers, and the audience as to what exactly is happening is amazing. The look of exasperation after the match on Lawlor's face seemingly saying "what the fuck was THAT?!" was perfectly placed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt925 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Card is starting to come together for Battle in the Valley. I got a ringside seat, can’t wait. So far: -Jay White vs Tomohiro Ishii Never Openweight Championsip -Moose vs Juice Robinson Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay, Buddy Murphy, Tom Lawlor announced so far. Jeff Cobb is wrestling in ssf the night before so he’s on the show. Also figure Suzuki is here so he should be on the show. They haven’t been announced yet though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Very likely that Tanahashi/Chase will happen here and maybe Cobb will challenge him for USA title at the dome. Edited October 24, 2021 by Archibald 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 NJPW shared video of Gabriel Kidd’s speech to the crowd from this month’s New Japan Strong tapings. Kidd detailed his struggle with mental health issues during the pandemic and urged people to reach out for help if they’re experiencing their own issues.

matt925 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) More matches for San Jose. Also, Minoru Suzuki just posted that he’s returning to Japan, so he won’t be there unfortunately. Edited October 27, 2021 by matt925 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt925 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 So that’s 7 matches officially announced…no mention of Okada and Murphy who are supposed to be facing each other. Perhaps there’s one more match? If tanahashi defends the us title at this show? Otherwise that’s the full card. I hope tanahashi comes through, I was hoping for Suzuki and tanahashi matches to round it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moxley, Ishii, white and lawlor were the top names announced at the start. Then aew switched the ppv date and Mox got pulled. They replaced his spot on the poster with ospreay, then they’ve announced Okada and Cobb. It’s gonna be a great show, but I’m still holding out hope that tanahashi defends the us title after his upcoming match with Kenta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt925 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 This is going to be a late arriving audience due to checking in. Smart organizers would have started the process earlier, but I am looking at a line of hundreds of people behind me even though we have assigned seats.

Oh wait, there is no jerk in front of me. Because I'm ringside!!!! I'm jealous, not just because you had fabulous seats, but also because the NJPW World feed was kinda wonky. I reckon it may have been a FiteTV issue; bearable to watch, but somewhat disappointing. Nevertheless, it was damn fun card that never seemed to drag. Ospreay-Narita was outstanding, and I might have to say that the 10-man tag was my second favorite because the crowd seemed to just eat it all up. Like Resurgence, lots of newsworthy happenings and storyline stuff as well. I'm sure it was a blast to see it live. Solid-looking venue, too.
