Young Bucks vs Finlay and Juice and Trent? vs Castle sound like fun. Golden Lovers will most likely be the attraction of these shows, not quite sure why Chase Owens was added but oh well.

going to the Melbourne show tomorrow, kinda odd how it's promoted as a njpw yet alot of Aussie guys are on the card. while I'm happy for them to get some exposure, kinda disappointed in a way as they aren't full time guys. hopefully I'm proved wrong!

Alot of videos on the NJPW Youtube channel have english subtitles now, it's really a plus especially for the press conferences and backstage scrums.

Last night was awesome! Shame it didn’t sell very well but everyone got a seat upgrade for free! Most people were ringside! Got to watch and meet a lot of guys I never thought I would so I’m thrilled!

JR and Barnett are doing commentary for Strong Style... I'm not a fan. It made sense the first time around so the new American audience would be familiar with the voice of the show, but JR is a shell of his former self and neither guy has the knowledge to compete with Callis and Kelly at the table. Assuming I'll be given the option, I'll be watching on New Japan World. I really think this is a mistake on New Japan's part. The production of the show needs to take a step forward from last year and the commentary needs to be as much a part of that improvement as anything else.

Callis and Kelly are definitely better but I don’t prefer either pairing really so I’m okay with this.

I believe they'll hold it off till June. From what I see, Jericho is a part timer who will wrestle a couple of times a year for however long this agreement is. I hope he gets to wrestle Tanahashi and Okada before he goes back to WWE

Honor Rising was good, though nothing too impressive. The only ones from the regular ROH roster there i cared for were Lethal and Castle, though i did enjoy Chuckie T and Cheeseburger as well. I dont get the hype for Flip Gordon, and Beer City Bruiser is 40 years behind the times. Hed be perfect with Dick the Bruiser and The Crusher in AWA. I loved the story that the main event told. Marty Scrull dying his hair was a nice touch. Him being reluctant to join in on Codys and Pages antics was great. I was disappointed to see The Golden Lovers lose, but i think tomorrow they'll get their win back. This storyline Bullet Club is in, and i never thought of this until today, reminds me so much of the Civil War between the Avengers. I liked Codys promo in the end where he goes "Bullet Club is mine". Looking forward to more of this story.
