AJ /Nakamura was great hopefully they bring that same style to WWE though I'm not holding my breath. Will be interesting to see how WWE handle Nakamura, will he get a mouthpiece?

a good excuse to bring back Funaki:

I'm sure everyone is rushing out to buy one...

Those headbutts gave me a migraine from watching.

Must have had an even worse one after Power Struggle then.

IWGP IC belt got vacated. Omega will inevitably win it (no sources, just a feeling) which will make the title match boring.

Disappointing stuff. Nakamura wouldn't have had a problem putting Omega over (already did at Dash). Losing Nakamura and co is devastating but didn't expect NJPW to be so petty here.

To be fair their next main event is in February so he'd be gone anyway.

New Japan have brought in Will Osprey, Roderick Strong, Dalton Castle and Moose to fill some of that void left by the departing stars.

Strong v Omega for the IC title could be amazing

If they are permanent or at least frequent freelancers like Shibata that's great.

Can see Elgin featuring more and more over there if ROH will allow it to the crowds love the guy.

I saw Ospreay in a PWG special some months back. Exciting talent.

Against one of his countrymen.

Oh yeah, Mark Andrews.

The Melbourne City Wrestling show coming up on the 13th is looking pretty great. Dowie James vs Adam Brooks should be awesome & Jimmy Havoc vs Mikey Nicholls should also be pretty damn good.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

It's months ahead but the lineup for the next G1 Climax should be interesting.

Spoiler: NJPW New Beginning

So the Bucks lost their belts. Sadly I can't see that lasting for longer than a month.

Just watched this show. Holy *, Shibata vs Ishii. I thought this was even better than the WK match. Okada vs Goto wasn't that great but the last few minutes was pretty awesome.

Anyone's particular fault re Okada/Goto?

 

[JOELY]

Probably Goto, but the match was fine, just not up to what both are capable of. The build was pretty good but I don't think too many were buying him as a potential champ. He came out in this mask with white and grey body paint that looked a bit weird.

No Styles and Nakamura so they need a third contender. Dunno who it could be.

Reports that Anderson and Gallows will leave after next week's event.

Good (Even though they've been alright recently and I reckon Anderson is a pretty awesome singles guy). At the end of the tag match at the second new beginning show

Spoiler

Tama Tonga came out and challenged GBH, with his partner being a new Bullet Club member.

edit: Hero vs Riddle is at Evolve 57 in Brooklyn two weeks before Mania

Ospreay is great if you like your pro wrestling to be guys who look like the least intimidating IT nerd in your office running through the routine that got them rejected at a Cirque Du Soleil tryout.
