Is Takahashi going to amount to anything other than the guy who used to be Naito's tag team partner?

Also, I'd honestly rather see a Naka face turn leading to Naka-Okada in the dome rather than Okada-Tana III so soon. I really hope that's the way they go with it, and give Tanahashi someone like Shibata on the undercard if he's still got it.

No. Because Takahashi is terrible, you see.

And honestly, Nakamura's getting face pops at this point, so he's probably going to turn face before the Dome show. They really have no choice at this point, so I'm hoping they we get that feud sooner rather than later. Only problem with that is that you're still playing hot potato with the IC Belt.

:ohmy: The stiffest team ever...

And speaking of Nakamura, this might be his greatest entrance ever at 2:15:

It's at least his funniest. :manny:

He's just so fukking great. He and Okada need to be the most swaggerful team ever for a little bit longer before they feud.

That's what confirmed for me wanting to see him face. Dude was feeling himself at a trillion :wow:

You can't boo that. It's impossible.

Would this be KENTA's second ever GHC title shot? Or did he get a chance against Suigara while no one was paying attention?


Also, I highly doubt this match is better than their 10 minute match from Takeshi's ROH title run, or the match Takeshi had with Maru right before his GHC title win (last great NOAH singles match imo)

Tokyo Sports featured an article today claiming WWE and All Japan Pro Wrestling had forged an alliance and would be working together with John Laurinaitis being the person who put it together. We'll see what sort of agreement it is, or even if it was just an article for show, as we go.

yeah, don't see how they can work something interesting out given that they wont do a co-promotional show (not Vince's thing and the roster is traveling all year long). I guess they can train or send NXT/FCW guys and give some tryouts in return?
