>FAQs
! New Japan Pro-Wrestling does not feature a weekly TV show like WWE, AEW, and TNA, instead relying on the streaming service of NJPW World for their shows.
! NJPW's major shows all feature a clear schedule, and feature in the same buildings—Wrestle Kingdom occurs on January 4th at the Tokyo Dome, Sakura Genesis generally occurs in early April at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan, Wrestling Dontaku is mainly around May 1st - 4th at the Fukuoka Kokusai Center, etc.
! NJPW Strong is the brand name for New Japan's American events. They carry their own belts, but the main NJPW belts can be defended in these shows as well.

They need to call and audible and have Tusji be in the main event over Shota.
Shota can fight David
I also thinkif Anyone of the young guys beat Zack at WK they might get turned on by the crowd

i sadley think the best story they can do is Zack vs Okada

It's hilarious how he was talking about being the babyface that SG Naito couldn't. Yet he got to the same point of rejection faster and with less quality work to back it up. I don't hate him. I just hate how obvious it was things would go this way, yet it's still the path they chose.

>>
>>16060444
>being the babyface that SG Naito couldn't
The problem with Shota saying this is that he doesn't understand why SG Naito had been able to endear himself to the fans at first. Naito's cockiness as the SG, a quality he'd already held during his days as a No Limit heel, was what made him popular. Mocking Shinsuke after beating him, doing the Rainmaker pose after beating Okada in the 2012 G1, showing defiance against mutoh who tried to put him over but naito refused his gesture. Shota has never had the cockiness that Naito exhibited. He's the cheapened version of SG that came back from injury in 2013 and was told to lose what had made him stand out, to the point of even dropping his eye pose for that year’s G1. If Naito had stayed true to his character back then, he wouldn't have lost the fans

>After some consideration, Sabre and SANADA both pulled names from an envelope to determine potential title challengers for Power Struggle on November 4.
>Sabre would pull Shingo Takagi as his next potential challenger in Osaka, while SANADA drew Shota Umino as his first challenger should he capture the world title in London. Which of these potential title matches we’ll see will depend on the result Sunday at Royal Quest.
Does this confirm ZSJ/Shota at WK?
>>
>>16066291
I think they may just have SANADA vs Shota nontitle if that were the case, but who the fuck knows what they're doing
>>
>>16066303
Yeah, Shota might beat SANADA (very grim) and then challenge Zack for the dome (very grim). SANADA deserves better
>>
>>16066169
>YOH & Rocky Romero
>DKC & Ninja Mack
B Block is the Jannetty
>>
>>16066291
Not sure why Shingo is still in the mix when ZSJ beat him in the G1 semis, but yeah, this feels like a mini tournament that leads to Umino challenging at WK.
>>
>>16066244
tana must really trust and like evil to want to work seemingly his last major program with the guy
>>
>>16058576
Royal Quest look awful. It's not far from me but not one match is appealing.
>>
>>16066169
Embarrassing lineup
>>
Is there a event between Power Struggle and Wrestle Kingdom or is shota umino fucking sucks actually challenging Zack at the dome
>>
>>16067059
>Power Struggle (Nov 4th)
>Historic X Over 2 (Nov 17th)
>Inoki Memorial Show (China show) (Dec 14th)
>Strong Style Evolved (US show) (Dec 15th)
I guess he could lose to Zack at the US show?
>>
>>16066564
>mini tournament for WK world title match
Do this and have Tana win.
>>
>>
>>
>>16066564
They're 1-1 and Shingo is a champion
>>
>>16067291
>>16067297
please just do a massive 'fuck you' heel turn and go solo after. for the love of god dont pin tana clean and just keep this going
>>
>>16065817
Muto retired like four times. Unless he pulls an Onita this should be the last one since his bionic knees can't handle any more.
>>
>>16066169
>They really poached Ninja Mack
lol
>>
>>16067772
NOAH just took the already over pushed Jack Morris and gave him a faction with Daga and Yoshitatsu. That was after bringing back the RATELS to control the junior division. Mack is better off getting the New Japan payday.
>>
>>16066169
The Naito/Hiromu road to WK just took several forks and possibly goes off a cliff
>>
>>16067973
It really seemed like one of those things people leaned too heavily into, both as a main event and a match in general. Honestly expect Naito's best-case-scenario on the WK main card is a multi-man tag.
>>
>>16066169
All those literal whos? Fucking grim
>>
>>16068374
it should be a LIJ vs LIJ match and end the stable friendly after
>>
>>16068402
Nah the only grim thing is that Dick Togo isn't in it
>>
>>16068410
>Naito releasing his friends from the group so that they can take the next steps without him
kino
>>
>>16068420
Every time dick actually steps up and does a proper spot and not just a (great) manager bump he seems in great ring shape. i know theyre not gonna end hot any time soon so its unlikely, but id love to see togo as a job guy in tournament
>>
>>16066169
This is one of the grimmest things I've ever seen.
>>
>>16068739
what the fuck is grim about it what are you niggers even talking about? they even got hiromu in it for once

I thought about it overnight, and since it was when I was a Young Lion, I've saved this photo, and I'm going to post it here so I can beat you down with the same feelings I had at the time.

I'm telling you honestly, even when you were going through a lot of trouble, you were the one who cared about me more than anyone else.

When I debuted, he was the first to invite me out to dinner and I heard him say "You can do it" so many times

I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time

I'm going to throw away my current relationship and position and blow it away

Get ready for MADMAN in Boston on November 8th

>>16068752
Tam being on New Japan shows is already affecting the roster.
>>
>>16067824
>NOAH just took the already over pushed Jack Morris and gave him a faction with Daga and Yoshitatsu
You would've thought that on its own would be a perfect summarization of NOAH but then you find out they're calling themselves Team 2000.
>>
>>16069569
Which was met with boos by the crowd. Considering how NOAH is getting outperformed by AJPW and Dragon Gate despite having a massive payroll, you would think they'd look to fix their issues.
>>
Is there anyone on the roster that you could pair Shota with to help get him over?
>>
>>16069659
When he started his stay in House of Torture purgatory I would've said Tanahashi for a tag title run, but too late for that now. ELP is a no-brainer as a partner but he's not gonna be endearing the fans to Shota in the way Shota needs. I think it's really up to him character wise to salvage himself.
>>
>>16069659
Tenzan. Worked out for Wato
>>
/njpw/ seething over NOAH again
>>
>>16070154
the only people seething over noah are its fans
>>
>>16070180
Nah certain NuJamals always try to bring down Noah to make themselves feel better about New Japan being shit.
>>
>>16070154
Yeah man we're so mad that they get Yoshitatsu as a stable leader and we dont
>>
>>16066061
That’s fine but take Charlton with him.
>>
>>16068374
>Biggest draw in the company
>Multi-man at the biggest show of the year
Retard.

>>16070417
As long as it's a big match with bkg stars in it, it can work

>>16066244
>ELP instead of Oleg
This is why we pledge allegiance to President Evil
>>
>>16070154

Noah is terrible right now. New Japan forcing Umino on us is also bad but at least booking has a direction.

I thought KPOW was pretty disappointing desu. Oiwa vs Bangerino was my MOTN followed by Zack vs Naito. More than anything bad vibes with Umino being the guy for WK.

The insider anon who revealed ZSJ winning the G1 and most of the Royal Quest card said SANADA was joining War Dogs, but with the injuries to Lee/Yuya that might’ve changed.

That would mean joining before or during the title match which wouldn't make sense. Perhaps it was a troll.

Take the rebel pill and realize he's a good heel BECAUSE you say shit like this. He's not likeable, he's not cool, he takes the shit said about him like being a "nepobaby" and incorporates it into his gimmick, when he loses it's awesome and and when he wins and starts blabbing it's frustrating. He's just a good heel in an era full of le meta wink wink guys you actually cheer for heels.

don't get me wrong, I appreciate him as a good hand, but its very hard to take this guy with his teenager mad at his dad voice and mannerisms seriously as the menacing heel that hes trying to be

I hope Tana actually closes the show with his retirement. There's no match they can make that'll be bigger than that on that card and we saw what happens when they do shit like Okada's last Korakuen match followed up by the geek and dark Kermit
>>
>>16085518
It's gonna be Shota vs Tsuji or one of them beating Tanahashi

Shotageek is making his own threads and responding to himself now. Grim.

He’s more likely to go the Liger route and have it start the show to get it out of the way. Tana lacks the ego of Mutoh and Inoki.
