NJPW Power Struggle notes:

Spoiler

EVIL and Ren Narita beat Tanahashi and Boltin Oleg due to interference from The House of Torture. Then there was a post-match beatdown from The HOT on Tanahashi and Oleg. EVIL then said he will end Tanahashi's career Jan 4th at Wrestle Kingdom. Tanahashi managed to avoid getting a haircut from EVIL as well. Then Ryohei Oiwa and Jeff Cobb both wanted a shot at Ren Narita's NJPW TV Title.

Shota Umino beat Sanada. Post-match Sanada did not shake Umino's hand.

Great-O-Khan and Henare won the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Titles from Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste.

Kenny Omega came out and said if he's cleared, he'd like to wrestle Jan 5th at Wrestle Dynasty vs a young talent.

Robbie Eagles and Kosei Fujita won Super Jr Tag League vs TJP and Akira. Good match. Post-match it looked like Kushida and Kevin Knight want to defend their IWGP Jr Tag Titles at Wrestle Kingdom in a 3 way tag vs TJP/Akira, and Eagles/Fujita. Then Clark Connors and Drilla Moloney came out with chairs and beat them all up. Might end up being a 4 way?

Douki retained the IWGP Jr Title vs Master Wato. Solid match. Post-match El Desperado said he wants a Jr Title shot at Wrestle Kingdom. Desperado said he'll win the title and then face Hiromu Takahashi.

David Finlay retained the IWGP Global Title vs Taichi via a shillelagh shot. During the match Sanada screwed over Taichi and left Just 5 Guys to join Bullet Club War Dogs. Post-match Finlay said he wants to defend his IWGP Global Title vs Yota Tsuji at Wrestle Kingdom.

ZSJ retained the IWGP World Title vs Shingo Takagi in the main event. Post-match Shota Umino wanted an IWGP World Title shot and got booed. Ricochet showed up and wiped out ZSJ and asked for an IWGP World Title shot at Wrestle Dynasty. Umino got back into the ring to make the save, and ZSJ who didn't want any help attacked Umino, and Umino ended up wiping out ZSJ.

Show last night was a show of the year candidate

 

[nobbyiscool]

Imagine going through a whole tournament, winning it, earning the title shot at WrestleKingdom... only for it to become a 4-way. That sucks.

 

[Cleavy]

I'm assuming Hazuki is winning, since the world is not ready for "Mercedes Kuma".

I know you know people over there - what sort of impression do you the the Velocities made?

Do you think they've made enough of an impression for a pop if hypothetically they re-appeared early in 2025 to fill a gap in a faction?
