It sucks that we won't get the whole show, but this is still great news because I didn't expect any of it to air.

They'll just show the matches with TNA talent in them.

Some may have assumed they'd see clips of the entire card because of the main post. They showed the entire card as opposed to just the TNA matches. |

If Nakamura were on US TV, everyone would go nuts.

Why not just have Tanahashi vs. Angle so we can finally be rid of the fake IWGP title?

I doubt anyone in TNA managment would have the balls to book it even though it'd probably draw more (from the smark community) than any past-their-primer TNA has signed. |

Yeah, so it can have a shitastic ending like Tana/Styles did. NJPW wouldn't let their Heavyweight Champion work TNA, especially considering how TNA's buried everyone they've sent over and how they don't want to risk their champion to that kind of BS. |

I'm surprised to hear they will actually air some of this. I still believe that a majority of people will have zero idea about who any of the japanese wrestlers are.
