Well, I guess that's why that Juicy Gino guy was in the Rumble.

Holy hell that's a tough schedule, four shows in four days literally spanning a continent.
Still, awesome to see the growing scene in Australia, and the growing NJPW fanbase.

Very cool. Especially getting Festival Hall, which for non Australians was where the old World Championship Wrestling used to run back in the 70's.

I got decent tickets last week. The NJPW Facebook said that they are announcing more names. I seriously hope for Kenny or at least Hiromu.

No Brisbane leg sadly. Ah well, Perth never get the WWE tours so it's fair enough to them. Well, I guess that's why that Juicy Gino guy was in the Rumble. New Japan made a bit of a push into Australia in 2017. Fale worked a couple of MCW shows while Gedo checked out some of the talent and Okada worked the November MCW show which was apparently a pretty sweet match.

Interesting to see the tour names; it's pretty star-studded, but no Omega or Naito. Two of the three biggest stars in the company aren't there, and that's a pretty bold hope to make for expansion.

The match is up on New Japan World by the way, and I was very pleasantly surprised by it.

I wish I had money. And lived nearer to Japan/Australia. And the money again.
