Tanahashi, Nakamura, Okada, KUSHIDA, Taguchi, Gedo, Los Ingobernables De Japon, Liger, Yoshi-Hashi, Gedo, Tanaka and Komatsu have been announced as representing New Japan during Fantastica Mania 2016.
This maybe the last time we'll be seeing Sho and Yohei as one of them will be heading to Mexico with Okumura after this.

It's been mentioned that whoever wins between Goto and Naito will likely be in line for the next shot for the IWGP Belt at Osaka at New Beginning.

That interests me because there's a lot of places they can take it but my heart can't handle any more Goto chokes.

I think Naito wins at WKX, he's lost his last four Dome shows and breaks the streak there. For those curious about our new Young Lions who are making their debut on the festival show on the 3rd here's some info. Teruaki Kanemitsu is 22 years of age with eleven years of amateur wrestling background and a former 66kg class champion and began his training at The Dojo in March. Hirai Kawato is only 18(!) years of age and has experience in both MMA and Judo. He passed the tryout held in 2013 but was told he had to graduate high school before he was allowed to join the dojo and did so this past April.

Question about NJPW World content archives... do they have...
- The G1's? - BOSJ / J-Cup Tournaments? - The January 4th Shows?
Any non-New Japan stuff?

Kazuchika Okada was awarded this last week by Tokyo Sports With The MVP Award, winning it for the third time in his career.
His match with Genichiro Tenryu was also named The Match of The Year.

The Tanahashi one looks like a Naito teddy bear cosplaying as Tanahashi.

I want the Shinsuke one so bad, but importing stuff from Japan is a pain. Can't wait for Road to Tokyo Dome. 3:30 AM is late/early as hell, but I'm still excited.

I'm catching up on matches this year I missed. I'm at Power Struggle.
Chase Owens is definitely the Scott Norton of the Bullet Club. They even kinda look like each other in full regalia.
