[Dangan]

I'm hoping for some interesting interpromotional bouts.

[Stuart]

1/4 is looking great, the top three matches so far are awesome. Muto, Hashimoto Jr., and the obvious New Japan crew yet to be added also, plus possibly Triple Crown and/or GHC Heavyweight matches.

BTW I've edited the topic title slightly to shorten it, as the length was blocking Quick Replies.

[ChristopherCazo]

Mutoh & Daichi Hashimoto vs. TenKoji at WK.

You can bet on this one.

[Firebrand X]

Nagata vs. Funaki for the TCC would be nice as well.

[Dangan]

<- Him with Yujiro vs. GET WILD. Make it.

[ChristopherCazo]

GET WILD are gonna disband, because obviously Soya won't defeat Funaki for the Triple Crown.

[Dregen]

Would be interesting to see Nagata challenge for the GHC title on this show, especially if he wins the Global League..unlikely..but I can hope.

WrestleKingdom is looking to be incredible, I will do all in my power to be at my computer screen watching this show. It's unfortunate Naito will miss the show due to injury was looking for another match between he and Muto.

[L.G Rod]

Looking forward to Sakuraba and Shibata's matches. Not so pumped for the rest but its early days. Would love to see Akiyama, Suwama, MiSu, Takayama or Funaki on this card.

Fantasticamania needs the man in my sig, Negro Casas.

[Mr. Quu Quu Toyonaka LUKIE]

Did you watch the last ippv? Casas was fucking horrible in the New Japan ring. The Sakuraba/Shibata match was not great. To say you are looking forward to them working against guys they ideally probably can't work a good match against is absurd.

Sakuraba is fucking awful as a pro-wrestler, by the way.

Fucking hell Moz. Stop being a fucking douche.

[Dynamic A]

As usual, Lukie is wrong

If Casas and Sakuraba threw more hiptosses he would be singing a different tune entirely... A tune like "Mr. Tambourine Man" perhaps...

[Sal Paradise]

First up, Dylan has way better songs than that.

Pretty sure Nakamura/Sakuraba will be a trainwreck match quality-wise, but at least it's something different, which is much needed in boring over comfortable fat NewJa.

The match is definitely 1/4 worthy on paper, and as good as the Tana/Okada bout probably will be, it has been overdone to death already, and the event was always about having spectacle and big names more than anything else. It's tradition and it makes sense booking-wise.

Oh, and even a broken down Negro Casas is still miles better than yet another Lowki title reign.

[Suave]

Tana/Okada overdone to death already? Yeah... Stopped reading there.

[GOTNW]

This is their fiifth match if you count young lion Okada....

First up, Dylan has way better songs than that.

INSIDE JOKE, Sal... If you weren't in the UStream chat on Sunday you're not down with the references
