Okada's first defense is against SANADA on 5/4

I have a weird feeling that sanada might leave to wwe.

Wouldn't be the first time Sanada turned his back on a company.

He better not if he knows what's good for him

Goto vs Jay is main eventing Wrestling Hi no Kuni 2019
keen

>The co main event for Okada and Sanada is fucking EVIL vs Ishii

Ishimori and Dragon Lee are main eventing Wrestling Dontaku Day 1.
I expect Hiromu to appear.

Guess it might be Hiromu since the tag is night 2

Big matches for 4/20:

You mean the Canadian? I can't remember the name.

Co is Jeff Cobb vs Taichi

>it's another SANADA does a the job episode
THE STATE OF NUJAPAN

Okada asked for it. Last match was 5 stars. Im not going to complain. Maybe Coldskull should sign a contract

How funny would it be if Okada lost the title to SANADA

holy shit is this a title match? Based.

I was happy in the haze of the G1
But heaven knows I'm a midcarder now
I was looking for a job, and now I have to job
And heaven knows I'm a midcarder now

In my career
Why do I give valuable time
To marks who don't care if I live or I die

Kenny and Kota passed me by
And heaven knows I'm a midcarder now
I was looking for a job, and now I have to job
And heaven knows I'm a midcarder now

In my career
Why do I give valuable time
To marks who don't care if I live or I die

What Gedo asked of me at the end of the day
Okada would have laughed
"You're getting too over" he said
And I naturally I took the shaft

In my life
Why do I smile
At marks who would rather watch yaoi

I was happy in the haze of the G1
But heaven knows I'm a midcarder now
"You're getting too over" he said
And I naturally took a bow

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To marks who don't care if I live or I die

Tanahashi not on any of the cards April or May, weird.

Kek

Takin a break before the G1. He'll probably set up a dominion match at one of the shows, but he really needs a break right now.

>singles match main event between two guys where one already pinned the other not even a month ago
can’t think of a more anti dimes show

lmao who would watch this stupid shit after seeing the greatest wrestlemania since 30 was just performed and not back wwe for life?

>Nichols-Owens
juice is losing the fucking title isn’t he

Tour looks like fun and comfy

My boy Lee's doing big things in Japan. He gets to headline the first night of Dontanku and its essentially a one match show since I doubt many care about Cobb/Taichi

Now that Kashida has fucked off Gedo is trusting the JR's to do big things

ya but whats the storyline
or is he defending for no reason like every nujapan match
yawn

Okada is offering him the match because he was the runner up in the NJC.

Kek. As good as Kushida was he just wasn't as over with the native njpw fans. Sucks cause he was one of my favorites.

>No Naito this tour.
Is John/asp gonna complain like he did with Kenny or is gonna ignore it?

Lee's doing a belt collector gimmick right now. Its based as heck. He's at 5 now after Saturdays win.

Okada asked for it since he thought Sanada had a harder bracket

Based naito enjoyed his vacation in mexico last week so much he's going back again.

i disagree tho
Also they are clearly building to Okada vs Naito at dominon

Naito this year so far: 41 matches
Kenni all year last year: 60 matches
get out aedrone

>Not saving Okada/Naito for the Dome
What is Gedo doing?

yeah cuz having one tour off is the same to only working %33 of shows a year when your on top as champ

Not an argument

wow this looks boring and filler as fuck

can’t even imagine how shit dominion is going to look

Them burying Sanada and hot shotting the belt recently is making me lose interest.

ok, if Naito only works 19 more matches all year you will have a point.

he’s on the last two shows

>33%
>He ignored the whole year until the G1
Stay seething

My exact thoughts.

Nigga that's ALL of 2018 im not joking do you want me to type out EVERY njpw match? he did

>GEEKING SANADA AGAIN
Fuck off Gedo

This booking makes it seem like Sanada is going to WWE. I really hope not I want to see him win the IC from Ibushi on one of the dome shows

you saying that, is gonna wind up with Sanada winning and having every single IWGP champ in 2019 with 0 defenses

>fucked up ribs
>coming back from early after a knee surgery to continue to wrestle

Yeah keep seething over Kenneth on Twitter ya simp

>Ibushi IC title at the Dome
>He doesnt know
Nigga he's beating Tana at Dominion and facing Kenny in one of the two shows. Meltzer spoiled it yesterday.

Naito is doing every show...

To be fair iv'e been calling that since Kota signed
dave might of been just speculating and came off like a retard

Look at the calendar. No Naito this month

Dave talks in code. He slips things all the time and Kenny/Jericho are his NJPW sources.

Nigga im looking at EVERY show. he's main eventing in tag's on the first 5 shows
njpw1972.com/schedule/

I know it's pretty based, I was there when he won the King of Indies title last year.

>Okada want's Jay to take that lost and much like his first Tanahashi lost he want's it to fuel him

He did it for Shibata and Jay taunted him with the memory of Shibata

VERY FAKE NEWS

youtube.com/watch?v=wHaEjzL3HSg
Kota's promo is legit kino and it set up him vs Tana down the line

watch a soap opera fag/roastie, only real men understand competition

>Works every show
>Still no best bouts

he has match of the year so far against Ibushi

Okada is offering him the match because he was the runner up in the NJC and he thinks SANADA got the harder side of the bracket.He want's to prove that the NJC win was not a fluke

And Okada still hate's him for interfering and ending his 3rd title reign. 4 years ago. LIJ and Okada live to fight each other they are mortal enemies

I love this shit.

>MOTY
Kenny/Tana and Okada/Ishii/Sanada were better.

you dont know what youre talking about

Kenny did the kickspot first at the 60minutes draw match. Newfag

jesus christ jay fags are delusional

do you know how many dudes have done that same kick spot or are you just a nufag?

Yes i do. Landing on your neck doesnt make a match better.

Guarantee it will hardly be remembered by year's end, like most of Naito's matches.
Omega-Tanahashi and Okada-Ishii will top MOTY lists.

tripfag opinions literally mean nothing

that beard...is weird

accurate, ty based domelord

what did you think of suzuki vs barnett

Will he offer Ishii and Tanahashi the same? would be a supreme chad move

I thought it was a delightful little romp that was better than anything during wrestlemania weekend other than stuff on the G1 Supercard show. It only suffered towards the final few minutes before the first 20 mintues expired.

you forgot Okada v Elgin from the Cup

intentional. 4.75 stars

you said best, not 5 star matches. also I am upset he left njpw, where do you think he's headed?

i should have said 5 stars. the list would be much longer if i listed best. Bike Mike is CMLL bound

Weird. Okada is surely retaining which makes their record 6-0. Not good for SANADA.

>0-5 against Okada
>just had two transitional reigns already
Gee I wonder who wins this one

sex with bex

Atleast he is in main events with some regularity now.

The result is 100% predictable but it should be a great match nonetheless

I agree. Its good he's in the main event. I guess we "could" see a draw, which would be based.

Oh, so they are really going for a Suzuki/Liger rivalry

One of the few disappointments I had with Okada's legendary last title run was his defense against Sanada. Always thought it should have been a better match given Sanada's pretty good.. Their tournament final was better, so hopefully this continues that trend.

What's the point? Didn't he just beat him? And the match was so flat compared to their previous matches and even that title match they had where everyone knew Sanada wasn't winning.

>juice is losing the fucking title
he wasn't even booked to defend it on the biggest USA show in NJPW history, what has Juice done to deserve to stay champion?

>couldn't match up with Takahashi's charisma
>couldn't compete with the HW's like Ospreay
>couldn't stay for Liger's last active year with NJPW
>already forgotten as Jr. Ace with Dragon Lee, Shingo and Ishiimori here now
>will flop and be on 205 Live within a year, then comedy gimmick with Nakameme and forgotten

Ishii vs. EVIL is my fetish

based domey lettin us know which bullshit to skip

What a fucking based tour this is going to be.

>Ibushi vs ZSJ for the IC belt
>they are at 2-2
>Ibushi won both of their G1 bouts
>ZSJ won both of their NJC bouts
>Ibushi just defeated Naito
>ZSJ just defeated Tana
Some booking kino right there.

Not going to happen. Goto is in chaos. They don't do these kind of matches

You honestly think he is not signed?

Sounds pretty kino.

No way are they doing three back to back 0 successful defense reigns let alone the third being Okada.

Kota said before he can face a god again (Tana) he has to beat the man who beat the god

Too bad Sanada won't win. He's easily one of the most over cats on the roster. Now he's going to be Okada's wash rag.

Even being Okada's punching bag is better than being stuck in the tag scene for life. NJPW do love a good underdog works his way up from constant defeat story.

>sanadetty
Reminder that EVIL had actually beaten okada

>Jeff Cobb vs Taichi
Unironically excited to see this.

Cobb doing more in NJPW is one of the few good things to come from the RoH partnership.

That was why he signed with roh in the first place, same with Brody King

Based.

PCO/Brody King vs G.o.D in Japan when?

expect Okada vs EVIL for the belt at the BOTSJ finals. The finals is in Ryōgoku Kokugikan (an 11,098 seat arena) and while tickets are selling well. Gedo probs want's something push it over to a sell out

I could actually see Okada/Evil at Dominion. EVIL is ludicrously over in Osaka and if Hiromu is in the bosj then that shows will sell out without the IWGP defense. And evil isnt the biggest name for Dominion but again if Hiromu is on the card for the belt it'll sell out easily.

Well kota already said he want's Tana next. So putting ANY match after that's not Kenny vs Okada is not going to be as good

he was always way more over with western fans than the japanese audience, so jumping ship is probably a good move

No Hiromu until late summer according to Meltz.

He was at MSG and Dragon lee is main eventing the first night. He legit might comeback
and is either him or el phantasmo

jay is a direct reference to shibata due to that interview segment. christ omegafags are the literal cringiest marks on the fucking planet
