Show starts at 4:30am EST / 9:30am GMT. 20 MINUTES TILL SHOWTIME
The actual, for real this time, last stop till Wrestle Kingdom 18 in Tokyo Dome. Some freed up space on this free show without the current House of Torture conflict, United Empire and the gaijin staying home for the holidays has given plenty of room for both new and current young lions to leave an impression.

>>12714288 The "Catch 2/2 will not die" slogan that TJP has been using has led to a tag team coffin match, which replaces the 2 separate singles matches that were booked featuring Akira vs Maloney and TJP vs Connors. To fill the 8th match, Kojima & Makabe will be teaming with the 2 newest young lions who made their debuts at the start of World Tag League

The amount of male fans in attendance who are wearing suits is putting the US to shame. Just a better quality of fan all round. Fans make wrestling and Western fans are so bad.
