Monkey D. Jiggy Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Great show. ZSJ vs. Ishii and Omega vs. Ishii were my favourites. They have an awful lot of belts now though, don't they? And interested to see what Baretta will do in the heavyweight division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 The NEVER belts are the only ones that I find absolutely pointless. If they dropped those, they'd have six belts, which isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey D. Jiggy Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I don't even know who the NEVER Openweight Champ is. I thought it was Ishii, but apparently nope. Only like the 6-man tag belts because they look cool on Bushi, EVIL and Sanada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E#37 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Yeah, Suzuki has the belt right now. Retained against YOSHI-HASHI last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fight Me. Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I like how the title was originally going to be exclusive to younger talent and the first couple champs were in their 30s/40s. Then they just said "*Censored* it" and made it a belt for stiff wrestlers pretty much lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I like the NEVER Openweight title because it's openweight. Too bad they don't take advantage of that, we could have some cool Junior vs Heavyweight singles matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 So I hear that War Machine are free agents.....have they signed contracts with New Japan yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 So I hear that War Machine are free agents.....have they signed contracts with New Japan yet? They have the belts, so I imagine they aren't going anywhere. Guessing that them winning was incentive to stay, but it seems odd to have the gold on people who aren't even obligated to stick around.

GDAWG Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I do hope the titles are an incentive for them to stay in New Japan as I'm not sure that the newest rumors about them are going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDAWG Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 So I hear that War Machine are free agents.....have they signed contracts with New Japan yet? You do know what free agents means right? Yes, I just don't want to see them at Full Sail though jobbing to the Authors of Shit at a Takeover. I want them to continue to have great matches against the Young Bucks, or Guerillas of Destiny or whatever ROH/New Japan teams come along their way.

Beardd Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 They're called the Authors of Pain bro. I know, they are shit though. Yeah, I'd like to see you do better in their spotlight with their level of experience. Honestly, you got to be pretty idiotic to straight up think they're shit. Yeah, you can be sour at how they're booked. You could find them boring. BUT for developing talent in their development brand, they're capable of putting on great matches. Being carried by veterans doesn't take away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiaHeroChono Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I think the Tempura Boyz will make for a great addition to the Jr Heavyweight tag team division, as well as some pretty good singles guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiq. Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 - Above is a hype video for the upcoming G1 Climax 27 tournament. The video includes a number of past winners, including Okada and Omega. Here's the full list of participants and blocks for this year's tournament. - On NJPW World, fans will be able to watch the first G1 Climax 27 show on July 17 (2am ET) for free. It will have English commentary and will feature Tanahashi vs. Sabre Jr. and Naito vs. Ibushi. - According to @Strigga of Purolove.com, in the Tokyo Sports newspaper, NJPW Owner Takaaki Kidani said the US G1 Special show was a huge success and they would like to try a US tour no later than March or April in 2018. They also plan to open a Los Angeles office and dojo in early 2018. https://twitter.com/STRIGGA/status/882282151835832321 https://twitter.com/STRIGGA/status/882282680225869824 http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2017/0705/627781/njpw-owner-talks-g1-special-and-future-us-tour/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they get a repackage, either as a tag team or as singles guys. The Tempura Boyz schtick is too generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niffan Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Omega to defeat Okada in the G1 and then challenge Okada one last time at King of Pro Wrestling seeing that they will each have won a match at that point. Omega then loses. Eventually he starts building a feud with Cody for WK12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil' Kazu Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 The shadeeee. So... Hangman Page has a tag match at the G1 specials with an unnamed opponent, right? There's a recent free agent that would fit that role pretty well, imo... https://twitter.com/KennyOmegamanX/status/883476878497120256 For me the worst thing JR did was make a snarky remark when Omega said he wanted to have a 10k seat arena for their next US show or something and *censored*ing JR says 'yeah, good luck with that'. Like what the *Censored*? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
