Does anyone know if they still make puroresu games now? Last one new I played was wrestle kingdom 2. Basically anything but fire pro.

There is a lot of talk about Pro Wrestling NOAH doing an angle with New Japan as the key to the 4/6 Invasion Attack PPV

New Japan is also looking at doing U.S. shows but it would be working with an existing group as opposed to running New Japan shows they would promote on their own. The impression I was given was there would be a May show in the New York market that a lot of the major names would be appearing on. I do know as of a month ago, that New Japan was working on a deal with ROH.

Regarding Prince Devitt, even though he is booked for the New Japan Cup tournament, that is not a sign that he has signed his new contract. As of last week, he had not, and was considering the WWE offer.

The last time NOAH and New Japan feuded we got tons of piff matches so I'm glad they are working together again. Hell, I became aware of Okada's huge potential in those hot tags against NOAH

KENTA vs Shibata could blow the roof off Sumo Hall

We'll have more details shortly, but the big announcement by ROH today is that several of the main stars of New Japan Pro Wrestling will be coming to shows in Toronto and New York.

Names in the video for the show were Hiroshi Tanahashi, Shinsuke Nakamura, Kazuchika Okada, Jushin Liger, Gedo, Jado and Kushida.

The two shows are May 10 in Toronto and May 17 in New York at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

 

[KendoNagasaki]

ROH hasn't been on my radar much recently but there's some potentially great match-ups coming out of this, like Elgin vs. Tanahashi or Adam Cole vs. Okada

 

[snikt6384]

I'll be there in NYC. No way i'd miss that.

 

[TrueEpic08]

Hmmm...I'm probably going to be in Ottawa around that time. Might have to catch the Toronto show, even though I haven't cared about ROH for a solid year now.
