[1/4]NJPW Presents: Wrestle Kingdom 11

[DaylitoJames]

The same thing it's happening this side of the world it's happening there: Naito used to be a face which nobody cared for, but now he's a cool heel everyone loves.

So.... New Japan did with Naito what WWE should have done with Cena and Roman

Last year, everything fell into place for the E. The timing of the contracts finishing up, AJ wanted to be closer to his family, Nakamura was fed up and wanted a new challenge and Anderson felt it was time to comeback after being in Japan for years.

Got a write up on ESPN
What to watch for at Wrestle Kingdom 11

If you've been paying attention to commentary on Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT over the past year, you've inevitably heard Mauro Ranallo, Michael Cole or Tom Phillips hype guys like AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura as former IWGP heavyweight champions, or occasionally mention New Japan Pro Wrestling.

NJPW (and it's governing body, the International Wrestling Grand Prix) was founded in 1972 by wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Antonio Inoki, and a modern resurgence has made the company the de facto No. 2 wrestling brand in the world. In addition to Styles and Nakamura, Brock Lesnar was also an IWGP heavyweight champion; Finn Bálor, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson and Andrade "Cien" Almas also spent significant time wrestling for the company.

Their biggest show of the year, Wrestle Kingdom, has served as a showcase for many of those aforementioned stars to prove their in-ring prowess, and it has helped them gain international appeal, making them undeniable targets in the eyes of the WWE. It takes place every year on Jan. 4 inside the hallowed halls of the Tokyo Dome, with previous Wrestle Kingdom shows drawing in excess of 40,000 fans.

man i miss japan

i notice most dudes when learning/speaking japanese they try to take almost all the base outta their voice lol

The best part is the bass of the voice. I want to learn just so i can speak as forcefully as Masahiro Chono. The joy to be able to say "pass the peas" and it sounds like an anime villian threatening your life

This show is getting nice "mainstream" pub in the US all things considered. I wonder if that's a sign Omega is gonna pull the upset. A lot of people are gonna be mad if Gedo does what always does though
