Would be surprised if Okada and Takahashi retained.

Naito vs Tana is 50/50 to me.

I hope Okada and Omega just give us a sprint. It would be dope as fukk if they could condense their WK match into 20 minutes.



The main problem for New Japan in the last 3-4 years has been the uppermidcard. Gedo doesn't have ANYTHING worth a damn for his top guys once they drop from title contention. So they just meander in meaningless feuds until they get a shot again, they never get much momentum besides having a name and being former champs. Naito doesn't need the IC belt, he could just be wrecking shyt up with LIJ while a guy like Ishii could get legit main event momentum and become a legit challenger (it might be too late for him in 2017, but it's an example of a wasted opportunity). It didn't help Ibushi left either. You put him in the mix and even with a stale and lazy product, the main event scene would feel more fresh.

New Japan NEEDS Kitamura, Oka or another young lion to catch fire like Okada or Shibata did when they came up from the dojo.

Working with another promotion is another solution but NJPW tends to bully them and the relationships rarely last.
Kitamura at least is one excursion away from a major push. Dude can be a major heel especially when the venture out here. But yes the upper mid card is essentially nonexistent (though i cant think of a single company who can book that section right consistiently.) Itll be interesting if and when Okada takes an extended break from the title picture, the momentum of his push stalls or rejuvinates lower tier wresters.



Tanahashi is going full Cena tonight btw but otherwise i see a big Bullet Club night coming.
