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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

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

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...

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*?
