dragonzombie Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) There will be chops and lariats vs shining wizards placed out here and there at appropriate times. More old school. Edited January 21, 2021 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I would be absolutely fine if the government banned late match strike exchanges. Sorry for not using green text there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 We should all agree on a few people who are allowed to still do standing forearm/elbow exchanges and make everyone else stop forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) I don't expect the Budokan show to fully sell out and neither does NOAH. Renting the building this time around is for tradition, novelty purposes, NOAH got the money to spend considering they're money Puroresu now. What would really help jump NOAH's business is either new national terrestrial tv deal or at least local tv in Tokyo. CyberAgent has the money for those options but I am not sure whenever they will get around to doing something as I just mentioned.

username Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 My picks were Suzuki and Ishii as well, so I think that is a consensus. Someone please inform everyone else to knock it off... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 GHC national: Kenoh vs Masa Funaki at the Budokan. I predicted that in my head day ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Final Budokan card will be revealed after this month last show is over. Expect GHC tag match added maybe. Go wanted to defend his title 10 times last year but couldn't because of Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 KONGOH vs. Sugiura-gun should be killer. I'd definitely like Hideki Suzuki in there instead of Dragon Soldier B but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Hideki Suzuki is America bound. The Budokan show will be cut into two on the same day. 4 matches for the first part, 5 for last. The show will be available on ppv with all the matches or just the last 5 on youtube for free. Also Legend commentary can be selected for PPV , could be Taue, Chono, Kawada or whoever. Unknown yet. Edited February 2, 2021 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 America bound? Oooo, where to? Coincidentally I just read that he trained with Scott D'Amore in Canada so it's probably Impact. I don't really know what he could get into over there but getting to see him weekly would be nice at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, please! Yone and Mochizuki punching and kicking each other should be Battleartsesque. It's also nice to see my boy Harada fairly high up on the card in the Budokan. I'm sure Kotoge and Tadasuke are both pretty psyched to be wrestling in that building as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Go has mentioned 4 pillars style alot and going longer with main events like Kobashi would sometimes do in 90s AJPW. The new NOAH of now is expected to still carry on both AJPW 90's and Old NJPW. They mentioned several periods of NJPW and AJPW history on commentary or in interviews.

dragonzombie Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 While the Logo or Group Mark of NOAH will change, I am not sure if the canvas will. Wouldn't mind whatever that green is called that NOAH has been using recently on the sides all over on the canvas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Kobashi said Shuhei should do the half nelson suplex. He hasn't done it so far but who knows if he ever will. Tenryu wants NOAH to end NJPW's solo run as top promotion. It's important to have two on top someday. Masao is off the Budokan card due to Covid 19 and Junta is off the card too for surgery reasons(appendicitis related) No replacements for both named yet.
