It's not the full card for Declaration of Power as more will be announced after Royal Quest

Got to say, looking at these cards I don't feel as if I'm missing out by not buying Royal Quest tickets. They don't look bad by any stretch, but with the amount of Rev Pro talent it looks more like a Global Wars than a fully fledged NJPW thing, and it's pretty underwhelming after the first Royal Quest being what it was.
The whole thing smacks of being thrown together at the last minute, and I would prefer they had waited and did it properly. Like I said, it looks alright and I'm sure it'll be enjoyable, but...yeah.

Been waiting for Narita or Umino to return. Wonder if the timing will hint at a WTL/Junior Tag League run for Narita (I forget if he is a heavyweight or junior)

Agreed. Only going to night 1, but mostly I'm excited to see FTR live. The rest of the card is... well, not gonna be a in a rush to get over from Camden to see the opening of the card.

Wonder if the timing will hint at a WTL/Junior Tag League run for Narita (I forget if he is a heavyweight or junior) I really figured Narita would be a junior, but now it’s tough to see him as anything but a heavyweight. Good timing, as Hontai needs to get younger.

Good timing, as Hontai needs to get younger. Personally I’m hoping junior (and eventual move to heavyweight). New Japan really needs a new native junior as everything in that division is stale. I needed to remind myself Kushida is even back. Someone like Ren can really help that division right now. My pipe dream is to pick up a guy like Kaito Ishida or another freelancer, but that won’t happen.

The junior division needs something now that Hiromu's gone a bit cold, SHO is ruined and YOH can't get over his lack of charisma, Master Wato is... good lord. Narita could help with that but... I dunno, feels like you could make him a big deal, fairly quick. A substantive push as a heavyweight as the heir to Shibata could inject a bit of excitement into the product.

Rumor former NJPW wrestler Karl Fredericks was seen at the WWE performance center. I was think about him the other day as a guy who could fit WWE. Seems like NJPW were high on him but COVID arriving after his excursion started and miscommunication really hurt him.
