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.

Their TV has been pretty good for the past few months. WWE's best stuff is better than theirs, but I've found ROH a lot more reliable this year.

Business has been up for them lately too since Styles and Hero have been back.

Ill be there with you breh. Getting a Swagsuke and Okada entrance live

Perplexing card, but I actually am interested in a few of these pairings. That main event has zero star power though, so this has no chance at all of doing well.

Also, here's Kensuke Sasaki's retirement match:

The W-1 vs TNA show results are up. Some interesting results here.

Spoiler

The following are match results from last night's TNA and Wrestle-1 One Night Only Outbreak PPV taping, which took place at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan:

- Christopher Daniels & Kazarian defeated Minoru Tanaka & Koji Kanemoto

- Gail Kim defeated Madison Rayne

- Yoshihiro Takayama vs Abyss ended in a no contest when both men could not answer the 10 count.

Im still sure Abyss got that work here.

- Masakatsu Funaki defeated Bobby Roode
I really wanna see how this match wound up

- Keiji Mutoh, Rob Terry & mystery partner Taiyo Kea defeated Samoa Joe, Masayuki Kono & Rene Dupree when Samoa Joe walked away from his team mid-match.

Id have walked away from teaming with Rene Dupree too.


- The Bromans defeated The Wolves Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards and the team of Kaz Hayashi & Shuji Kondo to regain the TNA Tag Titles

Because... umm... title changes thats why.

- Seiya Sanada defeated Austin Aries to win the TNA X Division championship.

This surprised me. Wonder how thatll factor into the tapings this week

- Magnus defeated KAI to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Title

Gaijin Excellence

 

[Jmare007]

good for Ricochet. Him, Anderson and Kenny Omega deserve all the props in the world, being a successful gaijin in japan is hard as fukk these days.

 

[Miracle Violence]

Liked both of these quite a bit.

 

[Big Van Vadehhh]

HOWS....HASHI-MOTO....DOING??????
OH WAIT.....WOOOHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJEAHHHHH​

Devitt finally E bound?:

''Ryusuke Taguchi will take on Prince Devitt on April 6th INVASION ATTACK at Ryogoku Sumo hall. Taguchi demanded the match will be loser leaves match. He said he will get Devitt out of NJPW. If he loses the match, he will retire. It is like Shinya Hashimoto against Naoya Ogawa."

Here's Tajiri/Nish which may interest one other person in the world (maybe),



Didn't watch the NJ Cup read about the Shibata situation, really doesn't make any sense how they booked him, I can only think they still hold a bit of a grudge for his MMA stuff, because getting borderline squashed by Shelton is just total bullshyt. It's really down to his own ability and aura that people still accept him as a star, he's getting no favours from anyone else.

I'm totally perplexed by how that whole tournament was booked, actually. I guess they're holding off on Okada/Nakamura until it can be booked for a bigger show, but teasing Okada/Shibata only to have Shibata lose randomly to Shelton Benjamin in the middle of the tournament? Are they slow burning his shot too, or are they still pissed about the way that he left in 2005?

It's not like Okada has a bunch of challengers lined up, why not do Okada/Shibata?

 

[Jmare007]

Not gonna spoil results but AJ Styles debuted, hit the Styles Clash on Okada and officially joined Bullet Club

 

[Honga Ciganesta]

Not much of a reaction for him apparently
