The only negative Iβve ever heard of Kojima is that he had a bad reputation as a trainer in the All Japan dojo. Similar to KENTA in NOAH. Well that and not dropping the Triple Crown to Suwama because he had beef with him at the time. But eventually that was solved too. Suwama made up for it by winning the Triple Crown approximately 400 times after that.

Like, this should probably be a swan song.

Are there actually people out there who think that New Japan was going to go with 2 heel gaijins main eventing the Tokyo Dome? On the 50th anniversary of the company?
Especially since they've been running with Okada as the man carrying the flag for Inoki's legacy.

That's the best news I've heard in years. Even if I didn't have a distaste and a distrust for him, yeah, it would be. Ospreay's obviously a huge star in britwres, but he's also been something of a crutch for RevPro, and this is an opportunity for them to try to fill the vacuum.

The fact that NXT UK is out of the picture probably doesnβt hurt, either. Thatβs more guys RevPro can use instead of always going back to Will.

Nagata has announced Blue Justice XI which will be held on September 11th I love how NJPW helps established guys book their own shows. That's how you give people ownership while opening the doors to new talent
