He didn't need to be in LIJ though

But he did though. :gedoplan:

I have a feeling SANADA will leave LIJ soon, and Shingo will move up to Heavy.



...But this is Gedo we're talking about.

I just hope Gedo will do anything with SANADA, but losing to Okada in the NJ Cup finals only to lose to him again at Dontaku won't be it even if it's Gedo testing him as a main eventer.

Nah I've seen tweets and links to FB groups saying he's put on a bunch of MOTYC this year, more than anyone else

I would definitely never trust Wreddit for puro recs, especially anything other than NJ

I mean, he's had a good year and some damn good matches. Nothing otherworldly though.

Like, of the top of my head, Bryan, Sekimoto, Okabayashi and Okada have had a better year than Kento thus far.

 

[MightyHealthy]

Simple, but:

Spoiler

Roppongi 3K finally defending their titles successfully

was fantastic.

Shingo gotta move up soon

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Liger / Minoru stuff has been fun. I'm guessing the match will be at Dominion, with the Ibushi/Naito rematch there as well.

I like Sho and Yoh a lot. I guess now it's Kanemaru & Desperado's time again for a title match. They really need more junior teams.

That's just the larger started watching puro in 2012 wrestlingsphere being like three years behind the Kento Is Really Good train and overreacting to it. Like @Jmare007 said Strong BJ and Okada have the juice so far this year.

Ibushi officially signed with New Japan today. He is actually signed to a company. Hell froze over and Cornette is at peace with Russo too.

I heard this is a "lifetime" deal. Go from being scared to commit to signing your whole life up.

The Gawd wasnt scared of shyt

 

[stro]

Life time is a short term deal when you have 6 Ibushi/Naito matches in a calendar year

That's just Dave being retarded again when it comes to puro news.

When he signed, Ibushi was asked how long was the contract for, this what he answered

Ibushi: Contract… To me, this is the last place I’ll be. Until the day I die. Until the end. That’s my contract period. (To Sugabayashi) Is that OK? Until the very end? OK then (laughs).

My man, thank you for clarifying. So yearly with infinite options to extend another year? :_banks:

Last time I checked it was 2 years (they went to multi-year deals recently after AJ, Anderson, Gallows, and Nakamura left the company for WWE, if I'm remembering correctly. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that) and he'll stay with them per his whims afterward.

It's Ibushi, so who the hell knows what he'll be thinking 2 years from now.

I think Juice just resigned for 3 years but that was during the AEW announced as official scramble.

As long as Ibushi happy, New Japan is perfectly suited to him still. And he has not realized his Gods' accomplishments of heavyweight gold yet.

 

[THE 101]

Liger / Minoru stuff has been fun. I'm guessing the match will be at Dominion, with the Ibushi/Naito rematch there as well.

I wonder what the hell they have lined up for Okada at Dominion?

We know Jericho and Omega have clauses that let them work New Japan but I can't see them show up until AEW is up and running.

A rematch with Jay White?

Tanahashi match #4356939302

The two best options are Naito and Ibushi who are probably in a program together, so options look thin as fukk.

I'd love Ishii to come out after the SANADA match and say fukk that Chaos shyt I want my shot

My guess is White. I think Ishii will get a shot this year at some point though.
