NJPW finally updated the results on their website and that is indeed the time they have.

Side note: I've always really like Ospreay's theme, but I've never like listened to it before aside from his entrances. I might start to get obsessed with it.

The right guy one the G1. Not really a fan of another 2 night Wrestle Kingdom, but they're setting up some cool matches.

It depends on how long each night is. I thought it was a cool one time thing that made sense because of the double title storyline. I kinda wish this wasn't an every single year thing, but I hope they stack both nights.

Happy that Ibushi won the G1 for the 2nd straight year, the finals against Sanada was good outside of a a few spots, his match vs. Taichi match was great. I'd rather see Naito vs. KENTA instead of Naito vs. EVIL again, especially since EVIL has been disappointing since his heel turn.

i actually thought the last couple one night wrestle kingdoms flew by, even at about 5 hours. this past years made sense with the mini tournament they ran, but does that now become the norm every year? which kinda nullifies the importance of the g1. "hey ibushi, we know you just competed in 10 grueling matches in a month... but we're just gonna give jay white and okada a shot at walking out of the duel wrestle kingdom as the champ too."
all of this being said, im sure it was fiscally wonderful to have 2 tokyo dome shows this past january... and with the covid crowds as they are, the duel night makes sense to recoup as much money as possible. still, selfishly, i prefer one night. i suppose i wont be bitching on january 5th when i have more though.

Night One is going to inherently feel less important if the title match is on Night Two. I could see the Junior title or Okada/Ospreay main eventing on Night One and Naito/Ibushi on Two.

they had a press conference this morning with/for ibushi, and at one point they specifically said january 4th was his title shot. now, of course, they can change that as they see fit. and ibushi accepted a challenge from jay white in a match for the contract. i wonder if theyre gonna shoehorn him in there again, or if thats just gonna be used to put some eyes on the final power struggle show. i was quite pleased with the g1 this year, so ill let it all play out. i was basically living the g1 under the mantra of "anyone but evil", so as long as we're not force feeding me the evil and dick togo schtick, ill be patient.
but yes, i would agree totally, that if they hold the title match specifically for the second night, they might as well call the first night a 'road to' show.

Jay White beat Ibushi during the G1 right? So seems simple enough for Ibushi to take care of business like everyone else does every single year.

Are we pretty much headed for Evil vs Jay White at Kingdom? I guess. I don't really have interest in that match unless it's used as a vehicle to turn White face. More than likely we won't get that match and then the Bullet Club splintering happens at NYD.

Every few months I find myself watching Misawa vs Kawada. Something about Japanese wrestling just makes me glued to the screen.

The title match is night 2 of WK right? I think Ibushi will get a rematch on night 1 with White, win it, and then beat Naito night 2.
