What will Kenny be doing at the dome?

Will Ibushi be taking the title off of Tanahashi?

[Defrost]

Kenny is most likely wrestling Ibushi at the Dome

[Tainted Eclipse]

gonna try to watch this live with columbus day off. hearing many speculate that the mystery team is the tempura boyz, which would be awesome. can't wait to see those guys start having real matches.

[Tainted Eclipse]

yep its tempura boys, crowd pops big for them.

[Tainted Eclipse]

okadas hair looking especially normal this morning

[Tainted Eclipse]

kushida/ospreay was great. ishii/naito was a very good match, but it's happened so much and was so indistinct from their recent matches i wasn't into it. evil/okada was alright. too long. the junior tag match was really good.

[MikeHunt]

Is Ricochet done with NJPW?

[Defrost]

Looked like it

[Tainted Eclipse]

i really wish they'd merge the junior and heavyweight tag divisons, would do a lot of good.

[Psycho666Soldier]

i really wish they'd merge the junior and heavyweight tag divisons, would do a lot of good.

I'm glad someone agrees. I get the whole tradition and the fact that "Man vs. Boy" makes the big guys look bad, but I just don't agree. I think teamwork trumps that, especially when you have so many mixed tag teams as it is. It's not like you're having a Young Buck beat a Togi Makabe one on one.
