So - there's now a chance, at a joint ROH/ NJPW event that Minoru Suzuki could get his hands on Enzo? :mjgrin:

The Road to Dontaku shows look really good.

- Ibushi vs. ZSJ for IC title at Sengoku Lord show

- Openweight six-man, tag belts, US title (which couldn't get defended in America at MSG? :beli:) and jr tag belts all getting defended.

- White vs. Goto

- Lots of 10-man Chaos vs. LIJ matches, including an elimination match later on the tour (those are really fun), plus a 10-man Chaos w/ Dragon Lee & Juice Robinson vs. Bullet Club elimination match.

- Cobb vs. Taichi for Openweight and Dragon Lee vs Ishimori for Jr title at Dontaku Night 1

- Ishii vs Evil and Okada vs. Sanada for IWGP title at Dontaku Night 2

I guess the winner of Ishii vs Evil ends up as the new contender for Dominion? Or Goto vs White?

SANADA will be Okada's first challenger? Doesn't that mean SANADA's about to go 0-6 in singles matches against Okada? fukking hell... :picard:

In my mind this is a setup for SANADA winning the big one later against Okada, but it probably will lead to nothing more than SANADA getting the upset victory on the first night of the G1 this year.:francis:

Anyone know when they usually announce the card for the G1 climax?
If you mean the matchups, sometime after the participants are announced, in mid June.

It just really dawned on me how much NJPW is actually stateside.

The first night of this year's G1 will actually take place in another country. I almost feel like the Japanese fans are getting fukked.
