    only dissapointed in cody vs kota seems a waste of kota for me as cody is just not that good however over he somehow is

    I was thinking maybe Suzuki but he only just lost the IC match so it's not good to move him to that. Maybe ZSJ or Evil?

    Even add him to jay white/tanashi if there trying to get white over

    This is all probaly down to my dislike of cody as a wrestler

    Power Struggle was a great show. I loved the last three matches. Omega vs Beretta was wild.

    That Wrestlekingdom line-up is a bit mad. I was really hoping for Omega vs Ibushi, but I guess we'll get it at some point next year. Difficult to get excited about Jericho after his last WWE run, but he's in there with Omega so it should be fine. A bit disappointed Ibushi has been stuck with Cody as well. With the talent involved in the Jr 4 way it should be great, though I usually prefer 1 on 1 matches, and was disappointed Ospreay lost the title so quick. I hope Cobb and Elgin win that tag league.

    Looking to sign up to NJPW world over the next couple of days and having never watched Japanese wrestling before just wondering if anyone could recommend some must watch matches on the site?

    Thanks

    Having just watched Kairi Sane and with Asuka being n Raw, I was just wondering why doesn't NJPW have a women's division. I've only seen a few of the big NJPW events lately and noticed they didn't have any women's matches.

    It's just the mentality they have in Japan. They feel the women have their own stage to wrestle on.

    Hi,
    Does anyone use an amazon fire stick on their TV to watch njpw world?

    Also, does anyone have buffering issues? I have experienced a few.

    That was amazing wasnt expecting jericho before wrestlekingdom

    im not expecting the match to be amazing as i dont think jericho can go in the ring anymore but i think this might be a match like rock/hogan where atmosphere and big match feel makes it special

    Even though the whole card for the show hasn't been announced yet, it'll be worth getting up early the morning of Friday January 5th.

    Which reminds me, got to re-sub to New Japan World this weekend.

    The morning of Thursday January 4th lad. That angle this morning was brilliant, gives the match a great story to work with now.
    Okada vs Naito has also gotten the added story of Naito having to come up with a counter for Okada’s new submission.
    Also this morning Goto said he’d put his hair on the line for a shot at the NEVER title. I hope they don’t add any more teams to the tag title match, but I’ll believe it only when the bell rings.
    Hard to see the show matching the last four matches from last year’s Dome show, but there’s lots of great storylines and a very fresh feel to the card.

    Imagining a bald Goto is a weird image to me.

    I don't think the show will be as good as previous years, but I am still expecting an extremely good show.

    Jericho has gone from the Gordon Ramsay hair to the Kevin Bacon look

    • Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho for the IWGP United States championship
    • Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Jay White for the IWGP Intercontinental title
    • Marty Scurll vs. Hiromu Takahashi vs. KUSHIDA vs. Will Ospreay for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title
    • Roppongi 3K vs. The Young Bucks for the IWGP Junior tag team titles
    • Cody vs. Kota Ibushi for the Ring of Honor World title
    • Minoru Suzuki vs. Hirooki Goto in a title vs. hair match for the NEVER Openweight championship
    • Killer Elite Squad vs. WTL 17 Winners
      EVIL and SANADA

    They stressed during the press conference that the top two bouts count as a double main event.

    Interestingly Jericho let it slip when talking about Wrestlemania, that it was going to be a double main event too.

    You don't think...?

    Are they suggesting Kenny v Jericho in a rematch in Wrestlemania? I would be shocked tbh.

    Vince would be mad enough to put the Universal & WWE Championships on Roman :pac::pac:

    Exactly what I was thinking. Kenny's contract is up in January. It could be the sweet deal to make him go. Just what I was thinking is all. Anything is possible when it comes to Jericho now.

    I just couldn't see Vince, from all I've ever heard about him, giving a co-main spot on his biggest stage to a guy who is only in the door 5 minutes!

    They need something big. This years Mania is nearly skippable so far with what's rumoured.
