ka-to Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 Last weekend's World Pro Wrestling on Asahi TV was an all Inoki show. Were there any longer shows on any of the Asahi BS/CS channels?

DragonZombie Posted October 16, 2022 Author Posted October 16, 2022 Seems Nosawa Rongai will retire on the same day as Muto will retire.
DragonZombie Posted October 20, 2022 Author Posted October 20, 2022 Few things building up in NJPW. Karl's double booked date with NJPW and WWE. And Wato and Depsy tag thing.
DragonZombie Posted October 22, 2022 Author Posted October 22, 2022 AJPW Triple Crown Kento (c) defeated T.Omori, In Baba's hometown. Kento, The Ace of AJPW Zennichi New Era. 1
DragonZombie Posted October 23, 2022 Author Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) AJPW Spoiler Suwama and Kono won the World tags. I don't think they ever will replace those designs, the beat up Triple Crown now kinda matches those titles nowadays. Minoru was banished from VM, he hesitated to intervene in the World tag match after losing his Junior Title shot. Taru banished him, and dissed Minoru as GLEAT guy. Suwama said, "Minoru, go to hell". The Japanese wiki fixed the units page So AJPW Army, VM, GOA, Nextream, Evolution. Edited October 24, 2022 by Kevin Wilson quick fix
lostinube Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 C'mon, man. You know better than to shorten Japanese like that. 1
DreamBroken Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 NJPW statement on Karl Anderson. Will be forced to vacate the NEVER title for working SaudiMania over his scheduled title defense.
DragonZombie Posted October 27, 2022 Author Posted October 27, 2022 NJPW Fantastica Mania will be revived. From February 22nd to February 28th. 1
Matt D Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 At first glance from the 6 on 6 from last night, Kingston and White match up pretty well. It was a fun one. I need to go back and find that Moxley vs Lawlor match from earlier this year now too. 2
DragonZombie Posted October 29, 2022 Author Posted October 29, 2022 NOAH youtube uploaded this for Muto and Tanahashi
Matt D Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) I get the notion that Robinson is a better face but he very much comes off as a guy making overwrought mannerisms pretending to be a pro wrestling as a heel. On the other hand, there's maybe nothing in 2022 wrestling better than Eddie Kingston fighting off two guys with chops on a bad leg, right? Edited October 29, 2022 by Matt D 2
DragonZombie Posted October 29, 2022 Author Posted October 29, 2022 Tomorrow NOAH debuts in the new Tokyo Ariake Arena, it will also be the first Pro Wrestling show held there. Tokyo Ariake Arena was opened on February 2020. Cheering will be allowed. https://ariake-arena.tokyo/event/#detail-21 It's also the "rebirth" of their history. The joint event NJPW/Stardom "HISTORIC X-OVER" will also take place in the new Tokyo Ariake Arena. On 20.11.2022. 1
DragonZombie Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 AJP Yoshitatsu and Tajiri won the All Asia tags, Yoshitatsu won them for Inoki. In 2002 Yoshitatsu was taught direct instructions from Inoki in the Los Angeles dojo, and he was allowed to live in one of Inoki's apartments. 2
DragonZombie Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 We have two months left of this year and Jan and Feb for anymore remaining Muto/Muta matches. I hope we get some sort of Muto vs Tanahashi match for the last time in NJPW. 1
DragonZombie Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 Have to see in the future if Jake Lee will drop the now secondary demoted Ace position, I haven't checked if he even calling himself one of the Aces anymore. I think Suwama has the whole book now. Lot of the previous years (after Jun) stuff for AJPW have been dropped.
DragonZombie Posted November 1, 2022 Author Posted November 1, 2022 INOKI BOM-BA-YE will be revived by new IGF for Inoki's Will at Sumo Hall Dec 28. Expect also the Reiwa Inoki Army in the future. https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/243559 2
The Natural Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Shinsuke Nakamura spoke with Tokyo Sports, as did Pro Wrestling NOAH, regarding the Great Muta vs. Nakamura match on 1/1 at Budokan Hall that was announced yesterday. Nakamura pushed heavily for it. NOAH had the idea as soon as they announced the Keiji Muto retirement series in June. WWE at first turned down the idea but after Vince McMahon left the company, NOAH tried again to put the match together. WWE only agreed to allowing the match on Wednesday. Nakamura referred to it as "What is it? A dream? An illusion? It's unmistakable, it's reality." In Tokyo Sports, he said, "It can only be called a miracle. I opened a door that no one could break in. Hahaha...it's a real 'Forbidden Door'." 1
