Omega vs Ishii sold out Hiroshima and even did 100 more people than last year, it's still weird to me they did it in such a small building, but oh well.

After the match they teased Omega vs Ibushi down the line. Kenny went for the anime/promise storyline and Kota went for a "I will do it on my own" type of stuff.

Big Japan's Sumo Hall show for November will not only see the return of Yuji Okabayashi, but the demon himself, Jun Kasai, will go back to a BJW ring to do some demonic shyt

I don't want to think what that crazy ass mofo will do. But he got a bigger match beforehand.

Omega vs Ishii was fun but it didn't have a chance of touching their G-1 encounter. It was a cool "best of" match that never reached a higher level. The August match was ridiculous in every conceivable way but it had a red hot Osaka crowd and a length of time that suited their excess, besides, an upset by Ishii was the likely scenario so the fans were right there from the beginning. This one it took a while for things to start clicking, which is becoming a bad habit in IWGP title matches

I feel like the anime ending was joked about on here before a few years back.

It's been compared to that since they made that promise public/know tbh.

My guy Stone Pitbull - Tough And Hard (/) put in that work.

Kenny still owes The Sublime Master Thief the fade too

The implosion of CHAOS Neither Okada or White wants custody of Yoshi Hashi

They're teasing Kenny and Kota already?Possible that he's bouncing in January?



Moment of the night for me was Suzuki putting Naito in that hanging choke off the apron with his expression like

Evil vs SaberZack Skellington about to make The King of Darkness JUST. TAP. OUT

 

[THE 101]

Has Don Callis left New Japan?

 

[THE 101]

I'm going to need a gif of Suzuki's demonic grin after destroying Naito

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Has Don Callis left New Japan?

I hope not. I think he's just busy with Impact.

I had notes on like 15 matches that I had saved as a draft that all got erased when Chrome updated

Holy shyt Horst Hoffman is fukking legit brehs. Dude is like a heavyweight ZSJ (70s/80s heavyweight at that, like 250 range) with grown man strength and masculinity. All of his holds are just slightly tweaked to make them unique and more painful looking, all of his suplexes are violent, his strikes are snug. Shame he had such a short run in AJPW as he was near the end of his career at this point and is the standout star of the 1975 Open League.

Okada should have slapped the shyt outta Tacos for the disrespect. Who the hell does he think he is?

Hopefully whenever Nak's done sowing his WWE oats he comes back and knees him in the head for his transgressions
