Horangi Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 According to Chris Charlton there is no immediate danger to his life and the headline was clickbaity so seemingly things are okay! Tenryu is one of my all-time favourites so very happy to see that. 6
DragonZombie Posted September 2, 2022 Author Posted September 2, 2022 They're continuing on the new era stuff for NJPW. We have another at least 10 years of Okada on top. But i expect them to push someone "new" along with Okada in the future. 1

DragonZombie Posted September 2, 2022 Author Posted September 2, 2022 FMW-E is probably finished. I wasn't too interested in it, too much more indy for me even compared to the other previous versions.
DragonZombie Posted September 2, 2022 Author Posted September 2, 2022 Not sure who will be part of the new IGF. Maybe H.Suzuki and Shinya Aoki. Also the new IGF might be renting smaller buildings.

Was a glorious basket at least. That one show they did indoors with explosions and nobody could see through the smoke was 10/10 stuff.

DragonZombie Posted September 4, 2022 Author Posted September 4, 2022 Hideki Suzuki will carry on the Tenryu Project show without Tenryu.
DragonZombie Posted September 4, 2022 Author Posted September 4, 2022 NOAH Jrs and DragonGate will hold event together. I'm not gonna bother with the Great O Khan vs Muta possible match article on Tokyo Sports. Seems kayfabey.
lostinube Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 NJPW starts tonight's Korakuen show with Hiromu Takahashi pumping up the crowd, which is allowed to cheer for the first time in over two and a half years. And then the first match is Bad Boy Tito vs Minoru Suzuki. KAZE NI NARE! I don't really care if there is cheering or not but definitely an emotional moment. There is a shot right before the Kaze Ni Nare where these two fans nod at each other like they've been waiting a while for this.
lostinube Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 All the wrestlers seemed pretty amped up all night. O-Khan and Wato got pretty good reactions. LIJ is still very over. The show was also being streamed live on Abema TV so that might have played a part in the overall atmosphere. 1

I had major chills for Kaze ni Nare, sounded louder than a pre-COVID full Korakuen. After this, I wouldn't mind if they just ran half Korakuen with chanting, may not look as good but my god what a difference it made. A fun main event was made so much better with a mega-hot crowd. Edited September 6, 2022 by Horangi Thing about Wato/O-Khan already noted 1
lostinube Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 You can see the two fans I mentioned at the five second mark. Korakuen is absolutely the best place for them to have done this. It was a Monday night show so you're definitely only getting the hardcore fans there who were ready to make noise.

Especially as most of the time they are drawing what, 4-500 in Korakuen at present.
DragonZombie Posted September 6, 2022 Author Posted September 6, 2022 Once the covid restrictions off next year maybe, we will see how much all the promotions draw.

I'd like to see the Wolf Zaddies get some action in NJPW or Strong.
lostinube Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 Just Bad Dude (not Bad Boy lol, my mistake) Tito right now. He backed up Jonah during the G-1 and is officially a part of TMDK. Looks like Che is getting shots with the upcoming NJPW US shows though. 1
