Wonder if we'd ever see Okada and Naito team together.

A sight I'd never thought I would see.

The, "The loser will stay in NJPW but have to leave Japan," thing pretty much confirms White's being moved to Strong.

Fun show. Definitely felt like one of the really good RAW after Mania show. fun 2 early mornings of wrestling. I will definitely be watching more New Japan. Probably only catch the bigger shows live unless a must see match happens on a lower profile show.
I'm really looking forward to becoming more of a New Japan fan!

White has already been announced for Battle in The Valley which is after New Beginning so it seems he's gonna be stateside.

Has Kenny's left shoulder always looked slightly f***ed?

Lot in store for New Beginning it looks like. Lot of things coming up in February.
Okada vs Shingo: IWGP Heavyweight
Omega vs Cobb: US Heavyweight KAIRI vs Mone: IWGP Women
Takahashi vs YOH: IWHP Junior Heavyweight
Bishimon vs TMDK: IWGP Heayweight Tag Team Akira/TJP vs DOUKI/Nobu: IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team ZSJ vs Ishii: NJPW World Television Tama Tonga vs ELP/Ishimori: NEVER Openweight
HoT vs Suzuki/Despy/Narita: NEVER 6-Man Tag White vs Hikuleo: Loser leaves Japan Naito vs Unimo Taichi vs Ospreay
I feel like I'm probably missing something there. Bound to be a lot of Strong stuff in Battle in the Valley as well. I feel like the AEW All-Atlantic could also pop up there.
EDIT: I forgot about the NOAH show at Yokohama as well actually.

O-Khan makes the challenge as he wasn't pinned. I'm an O-Khan fan, and would like to see him win it, but I also sorta would prefer if he won the NEVER title sometime. Guess nothing says both couldn't happen, just since I doubt they'd want Tama losing it for at least a few months.

Kenny and Okada teaming up was surreal, but amazing. They had excellent chemistry as a team, as well.
I wouldn't mind them teaming up more often. That does beg the question of Kenny's faction alliance. I'd guess he's just affiliated with the Elite and does whatever in New Japan but, who knows?

I love that ZSJ has Fujita in his stable. It goes to show that New Japan are serious about streamlining the Young Lion process.

Taichi is demanding Ospreay's head as the price for being in a new unit.
That's a good start in Will's face redemption tour.

I like how Taichi's group is calling itself Just Four Guys.

As we all expected, January 21st at Yokohama will be New Japan versus NOAH. Full card to be announced on ABEMA at 5pm Japanese time. Two matches expected are:
Kenoh/Naito
Shingo/Nakajima
