I don't know; they teased a RPG Vice breakup last year and it didn't go through, would be weird to suddenly get back on that train over a half year later. ...that said, if they did it I'd kind of like to see it as part of a larger CHAOS breakup angle.
Anyway, here's a shot in the dark: can we get a headcount of who in this thread has gotten tickets? The NJPW subreddit is doing a small gathering near the venue on show nights, figured it'd be fun if some of us could see about something like that.

At the WOTW tv tapings, when Trent revealed Chuck Taylor as his mystery partner for their six man tag, Rocky showed signs of being upset over them being chummy and leaving him out of things and a small argument broke out between them which was settled it looked like Now that they lost the Tag belts, Trent may believe Rocky's the weak link that's keeping him from success and replace him

Not sure how long Rocky will be a regular in-ring performer for New Japan. Reportedly they want him to head-up a U.S.-based dojo. He has also done some fill-in English commentary when they need a second commentator.

NJPW posted a blurb about rules and manners for the Long Beach shows, translations typos and all. www.njpw1972.com/10514Included is the video that the CHAOS lads made explaining crowd behavior during Korakuen shows. They claim that the Convention Center disallows streamers, but NJPW has had a no-streamers policy at every show they do for a good while now, so either way...no streamers.

About the RPG Vice thing, they're teased breakup is what made their title win work so well at WK. Side note, if anyone cares, I'll be doing live coverage for the 7/2 show over on 411mania.

No cameras allowed either, this probaly means all images from the event may have to come in the form of sketches ala courtroom sketches made for news media

I'm looking forward to seeing Tanaka and Komatsu return, they along with White and Finlay will be the workhorses for their Night 1 match. They haven't been used much this year so hopefully the two took that time to work together and improve.

Looks like some new merchandise will be available at the shows: www.njpw1972.com/10920. I was wondering when that Okada shirt would be online. I'd pay the $30 + shipping if anyone actually attending the show could snag me one.

Kinda surprised they didn't make the Main Event Title for Title.

Took forever to arrive, but the girlfriend and I have made it to Long Beach and are getting acclimated. Food and drinks tonight, Disneyland tomorrow, so not looking to attend the NJPW contract signings at the market.

This is airing Saturday and Sunday on AXS, right? I have Saturday set to record, but Sunday's show didn't show up on the guide. It's all "Rock and Roll Road Trip with Sammy" or some such shit.

Anyways, my Saturday is going to be pretty crazy. I'm driving back to LA from San Luis Obispo(I was up here for work), dropping off all of my crap at my house(I've been up here for three weeks), then dropping off a rental car off by LAX; finally hauling ass in my personal car all the way to Long Beach. Yeah. Good times. Anyways, if you or if any other FAN members want to meet up and hang out; reach out to me via PM. We can exchange contact info and meet-up plans.
