Hearing that Juice had some interest from both WWE and AEW, but his new contract with NJPW is actually a three-year deal. So he’ll be around for a bit. Love this resigning, and hope he grows into Tanahashi’s gatekeeper or beyond.

I say have it done at the Anniversary show in March I think that'd be an excellent match, but holy shit would Tanahashi need to win, because as much as I love Jericho he doesn't need a heavyweight title run, and if he does win it needs to be short.

Jericho vs Tanahashi could be so good. Tanahashi trying to do his usual technical stuff, Jericho responding with dirty brawling. Jericho calling Tana a f***face. Tana: “Jericho has no finese in his wrestli-“ Jericho: *throws table at Tanahashi* (stolen from r/squared circle) Lots of great merch material too. Tana has his 1/100 thing, Jericho can have a 1/1000 shirt. Tana is the soul of NJPW, Jericho can have a New Jericho Pro Wrestling shirt.

The show in Nashville Tennesee on the 2nd is being held at The War Memorial Auditorium Strongly debating going to the show, it's on my birthday, but it's a 6 hour drive and they won't have Okada/Tanahashi/LIJ or Suzuki-Gun.

Just figured out that the August 31st show in London falls directly on my weekend off from work, so I'm 100% going! I'm now singing 'Kaze Ni Nare!' at the top of my lungs as practice ( I hope Suzuki is there so this isn't a waste).

So, looking at all these multi-man matches, at what point do CHAOS and Taguchi Japan/New Japan Army just say "screw it" and officially fuse together into one big faction?

So, looking at all these multi-man matches, at what point do CHAOS and Taguchi Japan/New Japan Army just say "screw it" and officially fuse together into one big faction? Something's going to happen on that front, but I can't tell what yet. So far Okada, Ospreay, and Yoshi-Hashi have teamed with Seki-gun members. Yano has teamed with GBH (plus Taguchi)/partially reformed the Most Violent Players with Makabe. If I recall, I don't believe that Ishii, Goto, the Best Friends or Roppongi 3K have done so as of yet. I don't know if those combinations mean anything; apparently the Ishii/Nagata brawl at NYD was due to Nagata saying he didn't trust Ishii to be a good "team player" if CHAOS started teaming more with the regular army, but maybe this will just be Ishii's way of earning his trust...or it could be something entirely different. In the meantime we've got Chuckie T going insane, Ospreay acting a bit more like a heel, etc., so I think there are a lot of moving parts and that we won't likely get a lot of clear answers until we get through New Beginning and toward the New Japan Cup. EDIT: The Hidden Blade?! Oh dear, Will...

Few of were talking about BC lacking someone to fit between Fale and White on the totem pole.
Ospreay would be that guy.

I'm sure it is supposed to be a skeletal elbow, but it looks like a pair of feet in swim fins

Might just be a shirt hyping up his dangerous elbow while riding the press of giving Ibushi a concussion.
Although I actually wouldn't mind Ospreay joining BC. Could bring another side to the Gaijin takeover angle by having Ospreay join and suddenly BC holds all/most of the gold after some wins by GOD and White.

I'd be cool with Ospreay as the mole, though I think I still like the suggestion some had for it to be Goto a bit more.

Yeah, it's entirely possible Will isn't the one, here; and like with Chuckie T it's possible that this hinting at a darker, more violent Ospreay could be a misdirection, whether intentional or not.
That said, I'm starting to think this'll all turned out to have been a lie by Jay White and we'll start thinking they just dropped the mole storyline, and then at the weirdest freaking time they'll suddenly reveal all.
