Weird seeing Sami Callihan in this considering he just debuted on Impact lol. Unless he's just working one tapings for them.

 

I thought it was just the Bound for Glory thing for him but I have no idea, tbh.

 

Jericho headlining? Ahh the sweet sweet smell of being a Jericho mark. Right where he belongs. The *censored*ing main event! The whole card is sweet though. Definitely need to see that Okada match also Codys match.

 

So much cringe. Not to mention Jericho vs Omega won't even be the main event.

I'm more worried that Cody's most likely beating Ibushi...

I made peace with that as soon as I saw it, so now I just need the match to be good at least.

 

Ive never seen a multi-man match in NJPW so Im real excited for that F4W especially with the guys in it.

Shame. Wanted Ibushi/Suzuki.

 

Wish they'd stop trying to make Cody happen. Dude continously manages to put on below par bouts against world class talent.

 

You and I are going to have to respectfully disagree with that. I find Cody fantastic.

Guest Fight Me.

Ok so i havent watched NJPW in a few months since when did Jay White become a big deal?

He was behind the Switchblade vignettes lately. It seems around this time every year, a former young lion returns from their learning excursion outside Japan. Jay White has spent the past year in ROH in America. Last year it was Hiromu Takahashi with the "Ticking Time Bomb" vignettes. He returned after a run in CMLL in Mexico and ROH/PWG in America, he then challenged Kushida at Wrestle Kingdom for the Jr. Heavyweight title. NJPW send their young lions on excursions so that they can return to them bigger stars and it works.
