Great card.
ZSJ fucking sucks ass and shouldn't be champion though. Shota is going to go over and proceed to bring in a new boom period for NJPW.

Shota is the japanese Roman Reigns. The crowd has turned on him but they will come back around

Naito vs Takahashi will be awesome, Probably Naito's last great match, I expect him to retire after Hiromu beats him.

Finlay sucks ass, No dimes pasty midcarder, Tsuji should go over, will be a decent match

Despy match is always good

Takeshita and Shingo speaks for itself, Takeshita is on an absolute streak of amazing matches, dude is so fluid in the ring,

EVIL SUCKS

Jeff Cobb smells like shit and nobody gives a fuck about Ren Narita

Mayu vs AZM is interesting and will be good

and then the opener will be a crazy clusterfuck,

Card is good, NJPW doesn't have a lot of star power right now but they really got fucked by AEW and Tonky khan so they've been rebuilding

It's one of the worst Dome shows NJPW has ever done. It'd be bad enough on its own but having a second night makes it even worse. It's a Sumo Hall level card.

Sure, why not.

>>2nd Match: IWGP Women’s Championship- (c) Mayu Iwatani vs AZM
I wish I cared more about AZM, but could be interesting.

>>3rd Match: NJPW World TV Championship- (c) Ren Narita vs Jeff Cobb vs Ryohei Oiwa
Cool if Oiwa wins.

>>4th Match: Lumberjack Match- Hiroshi Tanahashi vs EVIL
Tanahashi has sold this feud for me. First EVIL match I've been interested in for a while.

>>5th Match: NEVER Openweight Championship- (c) Shingo Takagi vs Konosuke Takeshita
Takeshita never disappoints. Takagi is great. Looking forward to this one.

>>6th Match: IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship- (c) DOUKI vs El Desperado
Sure, whatever. It's Desperado's division now and people like him. Don't really care for Douki as champion, but maybe Desperado wins and restores balance to the Force.

>>7th Match: IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship- (c) David Finlay vs Yota Tsuji
Looking forward to this. Tsuji still needs some work, but Finlay is most improved for 2024 IMO and this could be Tsuji's first singles title win and a big step for him.

>>8th Match: Tetsuya Naito vs Hiromu Takahashi
Inject this into my veins.

>>Main event: IWGP World Heavyweight Championship- (c) Zack Sabre Jr. vs Shota Umino
Definitely one of the weakest Dome main events on paper. I'm still thinking Gedo has a plan here. I hope ZSJ retains and Umino suffers a huge character-building loss, which is the best outcome. If Umino wins, then there's a story here I'm not seeing yet. Match itself should be great, just lacking the starpower.

Swap the semi main and main event. Have Umino throw a tantrum at being voted out so he has an actual reason to turn heel and against the fans. Anyway, no one wants to watch that power struggle tier main event title match and even if it was a power struggle main event, it still be one of the weaker ones.

Naito was hiromu’s mentor and trainer who took hiromu who was struggling with the training and was nearly cut and helped him become the star he is today. They always wanted to face each other other but never got the chance including their planned match in 2020 being cancelled because of covid.

Jr tag match will be fun but its a sign that the division needs a shakeup after this
don't care about the womens match
Narita sucks, give the title to Oiwa
EVIL should win
I doubt they give Takeshita the win here but it would be more interesting than Shingo having the title and none of his good opponents being around
DOUKI needs to win here or the last year of the Jr division has been for nothing
Finlay will make Tsuji look 10x better than he is before losing
Hiromu retires Naito
Shota Umino fucking sucks, and Zack gets to make history to further that story
overall looking forward to it, but looking forward to the changes from NYD more
>>16437513
2 of the biggest draws they have who are also teacher/protege have been looking for a chance for a high profile singles match for years, and after winning WTL with no tag champs to challenge see that this is their last chance before Naito can't walk anymore

Sure but he also has to do that with some originality instead of coming off as a tryhard Naito wannabe because Naito was beating red shoes up way before and last thing his heel turn needs is to be compared to Naito

Shitters. They are not popular enough to get booked on NJPW's US shows. They don't get booked on Forbidden Door shows. Dave Meltzer doesn't like them. Tony Khan doesn't like them. So what are they even good for? They are not like Shingo, Ishii, Zack or Gabe Kidd.
This is a new era for NJPW. The AEW partnership era. The Tony Khan era. Taichi and SANADA are shitters who don't belong in this new era. They should be happy that NJPW still has them employed. Truth is they should be fired so they can wrestle in All Japan or Big Japan or Who Japan. NEW Japan needs wrestlers who can get over in USA among AEW fans. This is all about AEW. Stop acting like your company is independent. NJPW serves AEW now.
