NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17.

[Doragon]

New Year Dash will have all mystery card.

The final two NJPW shows of 2022 are listed on Purolove.

I dunno yet what they're gonna do with the other WK17 show on 17.01.2023.

Shingo and TAICHI are battling for the KOPW at the TAKATaichiMania on the 19th so maybe he'll be chasing his beloved trophy come Wrestle Kingdom.

He'd be chasing it anyways. Whoever wins the match will be the KOPW for 2022. It resets on 1/4.

Looking forward to Master Wato winning his first of many jr titles.

No O-Khan or Ishii either. The Ranbo is going to be packed this year.

YANO IS GOING TO WIN BACK HIS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kenny Omega interview.

[Gordi the BJW fan]

I kinda feel sorry for Jay and Okada. Hopefully they will take the wiser course of working a more dramatic, face/heel storytelling match rather than trying to top the insanity of whatever Kenny and Okada are going to do in the ring.

Seems like the rambo is gonna be stacked this year, I am excited for Zack vs Ren, and the crowd reaction for Muto will be interesting.

I do for White/Okada. The main event is always the match that goes on last but it's not the real main event. Triple H/Orton as the former and Undertaker/Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXV the prime example.

I wonder if Naito gets his win back by pinning Muto?

Will Ospreay and SRS yack about stuff.

 

[Raziel]

Gonna go out on a limb and predict that Kenny/Ospreay is going to be a overblown masterbatury spotfest with no concept of build or layout and nothing is really going to matter outside of when they start landing OWA's or Stormbreakers.

 White/Okada will be a better worked match, where nothing will matter until they start trying to hit Rainmakers or Bladerunners.

 

Something has to give for NJPW because right now NOAH's the better in-ring promotion with a roster twice NJPW's age.

[The Natural]

I'll guess Ospreay/Omega goes 30 minutes and White/Okada 40.

So Gino Gambino was at the English fan event organised by Kevin Kelly & Chris Charlton today. I really hope he's back on commentary, I'll watch in English if he is (I can't do Kevin/Chris on their own anymore...)

[Ace]

It's confirmed:

I hope he enters the Rambo too.

Not that you needed convincing, but Kenny and Will were absolute fire at the WK press conference. Literally talking the cash out of your wallet.

I’m so pumped for Wrestle Kingdom. I feel like Okada and Jay know they’re gonna go after Kenny / Will and they have something up their sleeves to surprise us with. 

[The Natural]

Most I've looked forward to a Wrestle Kingdom since 2018 five years ago with Okada/Naito for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and Omega/Jericho for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.

[DEAN]

Here's the whole thing!
