Sakura Genesis was a good show, Scrull vs. Ospreay was great but after the spanish fly on the apron i'm shocked he wasn't concussed. In 10 years it'll be a miracle if he isn't in alot of pain. Okada vs. Sabre Jr. was solid, i enjoyed the match but i can see why people probably didn't.

On night 2 the card looks better. Ill be tuning out after the Junior Title match

Good god if Tanahashi is the one that ends Okadas reign of terror I will forgive WWE for their awful booking. That would be just as bad if not worse then Lesnars first loss being against Taker after ending The Streak. Im thinking they want Okada to break the record for most title defenses. I already forgave WWEs booking of Reigns after seeing Okada is still champion when it should be Naito IMO. Tanahashi will beat Suzuki for the IC Title eventually. I hope Naito beats Okada. Maybe have Naito beat Okada after the Tanahashi match, but thats wishful thinking

My fiance and I are getting married this summer, but pushing our honeymoon until over Christmas break, based on our work schedules. We were probably 80% sure we were going to Greece, but that has now changed to Japan.
The point is, she's told me she's fine leaving the day after Wrestle Kingdom. Has anyone looked into event tickets or traveling there for the show? I'm in the very early research steps but thought I would try here first.

I would love to go to Wrestle Kingdom. However, I feel like if I started a chant I would end up in a Japanese prison. They’re so different than us.

I watched the Hirooki Goto vs Juice Robinson match yesterday. Much better match than i expected. Juice Robinson looked like he would have won the match, but Goto retained. Then Elgin and Taichi confronted him. Not sure how Goto and Taichi will do, but Elgin and Goto would be a great match

I doubt WK tickets are available now though. And I'm sure they don't do travel packages like WWE does.

Then Elgin and Taichi confronted him. Not sure how Goto and Taichi will do, but Elgin and Goto would be a great match word up bro. ive been catching up on all of last weeks shows today... i just finished up goto/juice, and i was really into it, probably my favorite match of the bunch. of course, i havent watched naito/suzuki yet. and i agree, elgin/goto should be loads of fun.

Naito vs. MiSu was good but not great. The finish kinda came out of nowhere. If Jericho isn't coming in i could see the rematch happening at Dominion or the Cow Palace.

Since he was appearing with WWE again I actually believed him when he said he was done with New Japan . Carny mother er. I love it! I added the spoiler things for anything who might not have heard somehow.

Well, looks like they decided on the right money figure to bring Jericho back into the fold

ive avoided spoilers all day, waiting for njpworld to upload the show. and it took just about all day for them to get every match up, so i only just started it. i just wanna say before i forget in 3 hours... i only recently started watching on a show by show basis, and when i first started watching, i skipped through the young lion matches because i didnt care. but ive been giving them a shot when i have the 3 hours set aside for a show... and i love watching the vets beat the crap out of the kids. its been one of my favorite parts of the shows. fun stuff. alright, back to radio silence for me til i watch the whole show.

i loved okada/tanahashi, great story, probably one of my top 5 favorite matches of the year so far. i liked ospreay/kushida, but the whole gets his neck worked on the entire match and then lands 15 high flying moves thing kinda wears thin on me at times. the things he does are absolutely incredible though. jericho/naito should be very fun.
