Kang Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Jun Akiyama's next defense for the KOD OW title is on Aug 21st in Kawasaki Stadium. The Wrestle Peter Pan show at Kawasaki Stadium show will have two rings, one regular, one for an exploding deathmatch for Onita.

Gordi the former AEW fan Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Top 3 greatest leaps in quality this week. Ranked. (Spoiled because of spoilers) Spoiler 3) Mutoh -> Young Lion Marufuji as GHC Champion 2) Nobody at all -> SHINGO!!!!!!!!! as IWGP New Japan World Heavyweight Champion (or whatever it's called now) 1) Hiromu is injured and Daryl is gone -> Hiromu is getting better and DARYL has (apparently) returned!!!!!! Overall a pretty exciting week for Japanese pro wrestling. Edited June 7, 2021 by Gordberg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Looking at the NJPW Kuzuna Road lineups, looks like Yuya Uemura and Yota Tsuji are doing their pre-excursion Singles asskickings. With RoH seemingly not a partner and CMLL being iffy, I'm curious as to where they're going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Honestly, I'd just graduate them to the main roster. Unless they want to send them to AEW. Tsuji wants to go to Mexico but I just can't see it working. Plus getting some new guys on the main roster will freshen up the lower card tags. I really like Uemura.

Archibald Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Might send one to Impact since they are doing more with them now. Or might do Narita who is on Strong, but technically on excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I think Uemura and Tsuji graduating to the main roster versus Umino and Narita going on excursion could create some interesting dynamics down the road. I did forget about Impact though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 RevPro will return to live shows in front of fans in July and they already announced that Shota Umino will return immediately, so they could also send Tsuji and Uemura there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) AJPW Koji Iwamoto defeated CIMA for the Junior title.. Kento and Yuma retained their world tags. The new tall brothers faced Takao Omori & Ryuki Honda in their first match and lost. They want to do chokeslams, their colours are blue and white. One of the brothers wants to get bigger weight wise like 80's gaijin size. Edited June 9, 2021 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kropotkin's Beard Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I'm really looking forward to watching that show whenever NicoNico takes it from being a PPV to a regular "you get this for your NicoNico sub" show. Though I can't really say I understand how NicoNico works half the time, at least I've another reason for having it than just 2AW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) NJPW Dominion 2018. What a show with Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega IV in my top ten Greatest Matches of All Time. A ***** match. Speaking of great, 2018 is the last NJPW year I'd say that about. Edited June 13, 2021 by The Natural 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the show.that, once and for all, got me to stop being all "Old Man Yells at Cloud" w/r/t Kenny and the Bucks. Absolutely one of my favourite pro wrestling shows of all time. Probably, if I hadn't enjoyed that show so much I wouldn't be a fan of AEW now. Surprising that it was three years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Ganbare will lose the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles to Guts Ishijima if the the next challengers don't beat him and his partners. The belts originally belonged to defunct Guts World (shut down in 2018.) And Guts wants to seal them away. However Ganbare will be getting their own created belts for the first time, the mixed tags.
