must-see.

Wait, how is Inoue gonna defend the Jr. heavyweight title against Daniels? HE'S NO LONGER WITH THE COMPANY ANY MORE.


Also, I just realized that if I get a handful of CAWs, I could sim the entire card on FPWR.

Awesome.

I may not be the biggest fan of TNA, but this card looks good.

Also, I mark out like a son of a bitch for brother YASSHI

I love Yasshi, I have his shirt and everything

[Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a b!%@h]

I wish they were going to show the entire card here. I'm afraid we'll only get the matches involving TNA talent. .

Where do you get a brother YASSHI shirt? And where can I get one?

You'll be able to DL though probably the day after online.

I'l be there live, but I'm really only looking forward to seeing Yasshi/Kondo/Milano in person. I have always loved Toryumon/DG, and the Italian Connection is one of my favorite gimmicks ever, so I'm excited.

Kurt/Yuji and Nak/Tana are the only other matches I have interest in. I'm a little interested in seeing Muta live again also.

For me, I've seen most of the TNA guys tons of times live. A few of them like AJ, Petey, Daniels, and Abyss I've seen in person at a local indy so they aren't big deals to me. To me, when you meet and talk to wrestlers in person, they lose a ton of mystique because they seem like regular people. To me this doesn't really feel like a big deal because of that.

'You're not European'
High five to Minoru

Man, that card is frickin' stacked. It's like a card I'd book on Fire Pro or something. I seriously gotta get ahold of this show. Nakamura/Tanahashi's basically guaranteed to deliver the goods, and with Angle/Nagate and Goto/Muta, this show's already a classic on paper.

Ummm... just worked out my question after I posted

TNA's website says this will air on Spike TV on January 17.

I really hope TNA does the smart thing and works with NJPW to release an uncut DVD. I would be all over that.

[Bishblast]

This really, really looks good. It's hard for me to watch TNA, but this should make it easier. And if they really are airing this on Spike, this'll be THE free show of the year.
