Those Fale Dojo stories are disgusting.

Man is it just me or does the Destruction in Ryogoku card look like the worst non pandemic card in the past 15 years?

I typically ignore the majority of New Japan offshoots (and partnerships), but stuff like this is why I’m not a fan of them in the first place. When you give someone the ability to carry your brand around, it also becomes your responsibility as a company to make sure they aren’t dragging your name into the mud. Basically, the Fale Dojo and Tamashii are not great situations for the young wrestlers trying to learn, grow and actually make it to Japan. Not a surprise, given Tony Kozina is involved and he has a history with being a POS. Sounds like Fale is more an enabler than anything, but that’s the nicest way of putting it and New Japan should rein it in like they did with Rocky and STRONG. Here is a second, also negative review of the Fale Dojo.

For those that go to watch the TV title match, Oleg was deemed not able to perform by New Japan doctors and Oiwa (w/ Kaito) took the match instead.
I'm not a fan of Ospreay getting all his buddies a look, considering how some of his friends are, but Callum showed a lot of potential. He's awkward in the tag setting, though that's likely just nerves in his debut, but when he's on offense his smoothness/explosiveness is very Ospreay-esque. Could be a great long-term get for the company.
Otherwise this was a fun, simple show with not much but building towards the big cards, which is what a Korakuen "Road to" event is supposed to be.

NJPW World UI getting a big overhaul this fall, according to their twitter. Native iOS, Android and Roku apps launching, improved visual quality, offline play and a number of other UI improvements being added.
About time. I can scarcely recall the interface changing at all since launch almost 10 years ago, and the mobile version has been awful for the entirety of its life; can’t get higher than 480p, no matter how many times you press “high quality”. Shame there’s no native Smart TV app but I can always airplay. Long overdue!

Very happy about the NJPWWorld updates. New Japan is too big to be behind on video quality compared to NOAH, even if NOAH has a different background that helps their situation. The FireTV app is fine, but watching matches on mobile makes my phone melt and murders my battery. I'm fine with the higher costs if I see that put back into the final product.

Backstage, after Night 2, Tanahashi challenged any trio from Impact, to come face him, Okada & Ishii for the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Titles!

Certified Banger Alert I genuinely believe this may be Alexander’s first ever match in Japan. He’s done Strong shows in the US before…but I think this is his first time in the country for anyone.

Excellent, happy for him.
Honestly, he's one of the top names I'd like to see get into a G1 someday.

Shoutout to big brain SHO on his rule set for the KOPW match. You can say what you want about his new style, but the man is a thinker. Voting opens later today.
Taichi’s rules: Seconds handcuffed match
-No time limit -HOUSE OF TORTURE and Just 5 Guys members will be handcuffed to one another: EVIL to SANADA, DOUKI to Yujiro Takahashi, TAKA Michinoku to Dick Togo -If either participant breaks free of their handcuffs, the match will be deemed a no contest.
SHO’s rules: 10 minute guaranteed decision*†‡ match
*If the time limit elapses, SHO is declared the winner †Taichi is banned from using the Black Mephisto ‡SHO retains the right to add other rules on account of the weight difference between he and Taichi, or as circumstances demand.

Doesn't hold a candle to Hiromu's lip balm commercial. That was borderline pornographic.
