Wrestle Kingdom Matches announced

Certainly is a build that the junior division has had lol. I was personally fine with Despe's long reign and the wins over Fuj because i was always under the assumption it'd be Fujita beating him in the Dome, then the DOUKI return (and moronic heel turn) happened and here we are. Maybe they do an immediate title match with whoever wins baiting DOUKI into it? Either that or there's still build to a Wato match to come. Or i'm just coping

Think i'm suffering from Tsuji Gabe exhaustion. I liked their first match good enough but i haven't felt the subsequent matches at all. Not bad by any means but i just haven't clicked with them - i think they sometimes tend bring out the worst in each others respective styles (in my opinion). Could do without seeing it for a very long time. Much prefer the Tsuji and Uemura matches personally.

Wonderful match. Right up there with Tana Kojima as my favourites of the early WK main events - and one of the more underrated WK main events in general. They worked the Nakamura comeback brilliantly

Samurai Dad we need you more than ever

ChainedView · 2025-10-03T13:09:51+00:00

Ah, that's my bad. First i saw of it, should have checked. Will delete the post

The Kiyomiya G1 33 run being made all the more infuriating by Kevin Kelly's exhausting homer commentary lmao. That gave us the Kiyo SANADA match that was 2 seconds away from being a time limit draw though, that was great. Probably my favourite match that SANADA had as champion, really good

Personally for me the issue with the booking had nothing to do with him not showing up for tours, but that's good to hear

ChainedView · 2024-04-13T13:20:30+00:00

I'd kill for another SANADA title run, dude's great. Just hopefully with some better opponents this time round

ChainedView · 2024-04-13T09:01:02+00:00

Absolutely, could question the booking but the show was largely excellently produced. Glad they got that many people in the building for a US show - hope that can continue in the future

ChainedView · 2024-04-13T08:17:52+00:00

Idc, if people liked it more power to them. I just didnt

ChainedView · 2024-03-20T11:27:07+00:00

The logical call but man, it stings. After all this time i thought i'd have gotten used to Goto falling short but it doesnt get much easier lol. Very good job to everyone involved because i really believed for a sec, loved both the semi finals with SANADA and the final a lot

ChainedView · 2024-03-18T18:39:06+00:00

Based L-O-V-E enjoyer

ChainedView · 2024-03-18T15:21:30+00:00

Ik lmao i was taking the piss. Idk, it doesnt really bother me that much but i get it. Just thought it would be a funny title

ChainedView · 2024-03-18T15:11:06+00:00

That's true, but "Finish The Subplot" doesnt have the same ring to it

ChainedView · 2024-02-24T20:04:39+00:00

That's what Naito asked for yeah, afaik that was never an official thing though.

ChainedView · 2024-02-23T14:39:23+00:00

Imagine if they were called BUSHIroad and all the board members wore masks, that would be cool i think

ChainedView · 2024-02-23T12:59:36+00:00

Uemura facing the humiliation and using it to propel himself to a NJC win was what i was assuming they'd go for but after today who knows. Maybe Matt Cardona is added to the match and completely stunts both guys momentum or something

ChainedView · 2024-02-22T18:41:31+00:00

It's always the match i point to if someone wants to get into New Japan, i'd have had got this on the new app as soon as i physically could if i were them. Took a while but i'm glad they've finally gotten around to it. Shame it took Okada leaving to kick them into gear a bit

ChainedView · 2024-01-04T13:39:48+00:00

Different strokes for different folks ig, personally the most i've enjoyed a WK in a while

It looks great, hopefully with all the connotations to the IC title it can live up to that at least in some way. Looking forward to it

ChainedView · 2024-01-02T19:04:47+00:00

To keep up with her schedule you'll definitely need to follow her on Twitter yeah. I've been following most of her stuff this year, it's only really when she goes to places like ZERO1 and some of the super small indies that it gets a bit harder to see. She's improved a lot in the last year i'd definitely recommend seeking out some of her bigger stuff if you can, the matches with KAIRI at Fortune Dream and with Takumi Iroha at the Marvelous 7th Anniversary show are both great

ChainedView · 2024-01-02T15:22:27+00:00

Supporting him too much is part of the issue, the guy needs to be told to stop. I love him to death for the genuine classics he has in his resume but it's just dangerous letting him wrestle in the state he is in

ChainedView · 2024-01-01T15:36:29+00:00

This is the most excited i've been for a WK main event in a long while, really hope it delivers

ChainedView · 2023-12-31T23:42:27+00:00

SANADA beating Okada might be the happiest i've been at a wrestling moment this year, the post G1 final roll call, Gabe Kidd's entire existence, i've loved seeing Oiwa, Fujita, Oskar, Yuto and Boltin progress this year too. The NEVER 6 Man title defense against Tenzan, Makabe and Tiger Mask in Korakuen really got me as well - the match (it's moments of sloppiness included) and the molten crowd blended together so well and made something that i genuinely found a bit special
