nah its tomorrow.

just finished day 1 of the new japan cup. naito/Anderson was really good as was honma/makabe. rest of the card was fun (except for yujiro's match).
:dwillhuh: at another reincarnation of FMW in 2015. who is going to be on that roster?
I could see a bunch of big japan and ddt guys on it other than that a new fmw is unnecessary.

this nikka Tanahashi can have an entertaining match with anyone...wow. Was gonna skip right over his match with that big goof Yano. But damn they hooked me early and put on a damn good show.
If Naito and Ibushi meet in the Semifinals...:ziggsblessed::feedme:

Should i assume Naito is the odd man out here? I really dont want Goto to win a fourth cup and lose the title match.An Ibushi vs Makabe or Goto would be amazing though

Makabe. I never want to see that dude win anything.

Ibushi was my pick anyway, while a Naito win might actually do something for his stalled career at this point. I see your point with Goto, but him making the final and putting the prospect of him winning on the table could make for an interesting main event.

But no Makabe, ever.

Cody Hall is one ackward sum bytch...I was lmao when he climbed over the 3rd rope to get out of the ring...He's got a lot of upside tho...green as fukk but he didn't look that bad...just gotta sharpen up on the fundamentals.

Naito Vs Ibushi bout to be crack. I think whoever wins between them two win it all. My money's on Naito

FMW would spice things up though. I hope they do FMW they same way they did it in the 90's, I would love to see MMA guys and Pro Wrestling guys in it.

Depends on who is in charge, I know Onita is running Zero-1. That Vader vs Shamrock was dope and at the time they would bring in mix martial artists but the fmw everbody knows is the deathmatch era. Would be dope if they come back with the mixes of styles they had instead of the deathmatch garbage. Something like Battle Arts would be interesting.
