    Ospreay vs ZSJ at Royal Quest 3 was a match of the year contender if you get a chance to watch it.

    The IWGP United States/United Kingdom Heavyweight Championship is getting a new name at Wrestle Kingdom.

    The winner of the 3 way between Ospreay vs.Finlay vs. Mox will be crowned the inaugural IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion..

    I actually can see Mox winning it for the big name value he will attach to it however I think Finlay deserves it after his fantastic year as the leader of Bullet Club.

    New Champions all around in NJPW.

    Sanada's run as the Champion really didn't do anything for the company.

    Naito can only be better than Sanada as champ

    WWE's contract tampering with contracted AEW, MLW workers and now Stardom talent really shows what they really are.

    Secertly paying the founder of Stardom and Bushiroad executive with promisies of a WWE or NXT Japan role to gain contract details really is scummy.
