NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 9


Nak/Ibushi I was kind of nervous that it wouldn't be as good as I thought it was when I saw it live. It's so fukking good. Best match of a generation. Probably the century so far. Just wonderful. Ibushi getting fed up with Nak's c*ntiness to unleash his own inner c*nty vet And then Okada/Tanahashi come up next having to follow it and DO. After a 4 hour show, 5 out of 11 matches which were absolute filler trash. AJ/Naito was also very good. Everything else is iffy to a waste of space. But Nak/Ibushi is all the stars.

Double J, Fale, Yujiro BC. Somehow, that's not even the worst version of the Bullet Club, too. Jeff Jarrett on a NJ Dome Show. In 2015.

Ive watched that Ibushi vs Nakamura match atleast a dozen times.

The AXS TV version with Josh Barnett and especially Mauro Ranallo on commentary brings so much more to it

So NOAH couldn't even get 500 people in fukking Differ Ariake for a GHC Jr and GHC Title match

Jado booked Sugi vs Maybach and Kanemaru vs Kenou

For Terry Funk's sake, end this excuse of a promotion this is doing no damn favors to Sacho's memory. Not even Zero-One is this shytty.

 

[Mr. Negative]

Ibushi/Nakamura is one ofg the greatest matches I've ever seen.

ever.

 

[Mr. Negative]

FUN FACT:


as of right now, with his last show being that ROH one, at this very moment (08-26-16)?

GoonGod Shibata has had

666 professional wrestling matches.

66 of them on Pay Per View.

Shin Oni Shibata

Is Shibata going to Noah, I read it on a forum but don't know if it's true.

They teased a NOAH vs New Japan confrontation on the last night of the G-1, but there was no match that followed it up when they announced the big shows for September and October. It also seems that Suzuki Gun is finally coming back to NJPW so if they are going to do an interpromotional feud with NOAH, it seems that Shibata and the others will work over there and try to boost their cards like Suzuki Gun did for more than a year.

It could also mean nothing and more matches could be announced soon, with Shibata and co. working both places....or what they teased at the G-1 just leads to nowhere
