I'm not really that surprised. Kobashi/Misawa will draw regardless if it is for a title or not. Misawa didn't really need the belt anymore.

Quite a lot of people. Misawa vs. Kobashi will draw no matter if the title is on the line or not. We'll also get to see Kobashi vs. Morishima.

I'm gonna guess you, by the prideful post. Close, I would have also accepted "Almost everyone else who knew this was happening". Close is only good in horseshoes and hand grenades. I was watching a Matt Sydal in Dragon Gate comp last night. I have watched it before, but I wanted to rewatch it. The work rate is fantastic. But damn, I have a hard time keeping track of who is what team. Its tough to tell who are the babyfaces and who are the heels. I constantly see referees attacking the wrestlers, foreign objects being used, I think I saw a sword once, and some mutant type guy on the outside. With all the movement and action, its tough to follow and it doesnt help that the commentary is in Japanese. But I still love watching it for the actual matches. When you are forced to watch wrestling with commentators you cant understand (not talking about Jim Ross) with storylines you dont follow on a daily basis and you still love it. Thats when you understand and appreciate wrestling for what it is. |

9 times out of 10 heels and faces mean nothing in Japan. just look at Jushin in CTU.

People will always cheer Ric Flair. So I wasnt sure if it was based off the respect or the lack of heel and faces. |

He won't watch any of my NOAH or DG stuff because he can't understand what they are saying. But I think it just makes it more exciting. |

Hey guys, does anyone know a website I can go to in English where I can order the NJPW King of Sports logo T-Shirt? I've been looking everywhere and NJPW's shop website is such a pain to navigate... I'm also kinda interested in buying a Wrestle Kingdom II shirt so if the site has that on there all the better... I checked ROH's website and it turned up squat...

Stay away from Dragon Gate. I'm much more of a NOAH fan than DG. The only stuff I have is some comp DVDs of ROH guys there. I understand the crowds, but God do I wish they were a little more lively. |

I understand the crowds, but God do I wish they were a little more lively. yeah Dragon Gate is really....really bad.crowds can get crazy when the match is amazing, look at almost any Kobashi vs. Mitsy or Kawada vs. Mitsy. they're almost always in a frenzy. but for other events look at some of the people in the front row they're in suits. going to see a big wrestling show whether it's in the Budokan or The Dome it's a PRETTY big deal over there,and rightfully so. |

I really wish Marufuji or even KENTA would be the champ instead of Morishima. I mean, even though it still gives the belt a new holder and hes not a bad wrestler. Just hope Kobashi dethrones him.

Marufuji is already a champion in NOAH. You'll rarely see someone hold 2 titles.

Plus didn't the Marufuji title reign back in December of 06 flop?

yes, and it was because Naomichi is horrible.please don't come in here with no knowledge of Puro other than rare U.S. appearances of a few NOAH stars and act like you know what your talking about because it makes you sound like a moron.
