Yuji Nagata is replacing the injured Elgin.

 

[TradeDraft]

Looks like it be a Very Good Show

 

[DaveyBoy123]

I'm certain this will be awesome... But am not trying to have expectations too high for fear of disappointment.

Just seeing some of those names on the pre-show is amazing! Cobb & Page just had the best match (imo) on a ROH show. Scurll wasn't far behind... & Suzuki is always (for want of a better word) fun to watch.

I fear for the ceiling in the Ibushi/Ospreay match.

Strangely, if there's 1 guy I really want to see win on this card, it's Ishimori.

If the Bucks, Cody & even Jericho all lose their title matches, do we presume Omega will lose as well?

 

[Cleavy]

even though you could buy the show on FiteTV app (for $35), it's cheaper to subscribe to NJPW World and get it that way. Just remember that they charge at the start of the month, regardless of when you initially subscribed.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Enjoyed it last year though I did fall asleep due to it being so long. Hopefully there's a good HD torrent this year, not SD with s**t added on.

 

[Loonerty]

It'll cost like $12 for it and New year's dash.

Or sign up on the 4th and also get the new beginning in sapporo.

Not how it works with NJPW.

New Year Trash in a university gym.

New Year Trash in a university gym.

$12 is still more than amazing value for WK.

How do you guys watch NJ World on your tvs? Is there an easy way to cast this through an Apple TV or something, or do you just connect your computer by HDMI?

You can Chromecast it from Chrome on mobile.

 

[offtherails9]

Is this on Friday night in Australia?

 

[Craegus]

Is this on Friday night in Australia?

Yeah, starts at 6pm AEDST

 

[Loonerty]

Yeah, starts at 6pm AEDST

Is it? Thought it was 5pm Japan time which is 7 here.

 

[Ry009]

So if I sign up today, it finishes at the end of the month? Easy to cancel?

It will auto-renew on the 1st Feb.

Easy enough to cancel too. Click a few buttons and boom.

Definitely worth it mate. I signed up last January to watch WrestleKingdom with the plan to get rid of it at the end of the month.
Here I am a year later still signed up.

 

[Baird]

Omega will retain

NJPW World lists it at 4pm JST

 

[offtherails9]

I'm actually keen for this. Will have to palm off any invites for arvo beers.

 

[Loonerty]

NJPW World lists it at 4pm JST

Right you are!
Will edit the OP.

Feels a bit weird/surreal to see a write up/preview on Fox Sports Australia website. Usually they only talk about WWE.
