New Japan Pro-Wrestling (On NJPWWorld and Triller TV)

the Mercedes-Hazuki match received 4.75 stars in the Meltzerverse. I don't know what women have to do to receive the coveted 5 stars, aside from changing their name to Ospreay.

Reading Mercedes was massively under the weather, fair effort too.

Road to Tokyo Dome Day 1 notes:

Spoiler

Boltin Oleg beat Satoshi Kojima.

After a tag team match Jado dressed as Santa gave Ren Narita a present, ELP's glasses. ELP returns and he's beaten cancer! And he wants in on the NJPW TV Title match at Wrestle Kingdom!

Robbie Eagles beat Drilla Moloney, Kevin Knight and Francesco Akira in a 4 way match. During the match Clark Connors tried to interfere, and TJP made the save.

Great-O-Khan retained the KOPW Title vs Taichi in an entertaining 2 out of 3 falls match via a 1-1 draw in the main event.
Taichi won the 1st fall (Sumo Rules).
Great-O-Khan won the 2nd fall (Kanemaru guest ref). Kanemaru very biased towards O-Khan, O-Khan paid him off after the fall as well lmao.
The 3rd fall was a draw (Last Man Standing).

Post-match Great-O-Khan has RETIRED the KOPW Title. Damn.

It's ended up being a pretty rubbish card, it's not their version of Forbidden Door at all. I dunno what it is. It was barely worth delaying Dash for.

oh, that's official? I thought they were playing us on social media for Sumie's partners.

From New Japan's site
"Sumie’s last match has seen her try to bring SHO and EVIL back around to the kinds of people who she aided in their respective US excursions; will they see the light before her career comes to an end?"

So she's not a member, but trying to turn them into good people lol, good luck with that.

I guess it's not really our place to criticise her retirement match.

yikes, just noticed that Triller have Wrestle Kingdom and Wrestle Dynasty for purchase for $23 each OR $40 for the bundle. Just buy a NJPW subscription for USD$10 (which is approx AUD$17) for the month (and you get Battle in the Valley also).

 

[nobbyiscool]

I wasn't clear on whether Wrestle Dynasty was part of NJPW World, and the more they announced the less I cared.

I'll watch ZSJ vs Ricochet later on, but I'm not terribly excited for anything else.
