Good to see Dragon Lee back but not a surprise as he is back with ROH. Hopefully Hiromu comes back 100% and we can get a terrific series out of those two. Mix in Shingo and Ishimori and the Jr. division could be a belter for the next year or two.

Looks like a fun card. Shingo and BUSHI vs R3K should be great.

47 years ago a fake wrestler called Antonio Inoki started a cult of personality by having fake matches with real athletes and taking liberties with other people who couldn’t defend themselves.
No wonder they never honor the egomaniac and distance themselves from him haha.

Hiromu said that he'd return when he was at 1000%. His most recent tweet put him at 973%.
Someone did the numbers and found that the day he reaches 1000% is this show.
That Dragon Lee is on.
It's happening.

Hiromu also mentioned a new move that he'll debut in his return match. Due to the timing, that could very well be at MSG.

If he is back this soon, it is mental and speaks a lot to his recovery.
However, Japanese wrestlers have a habit of being mental in this regard so I can imagine he is probably coming back a bit sooner than he probably should, regardless of what he says.

He said he's up to 934% out of 1000% so I would say an early spring return in like April isn't out of the question, after a 10 month layoff.

Obviously taken with a grain of salt but funny that someone did this: Well now I'm wondering if they did the percentages the way they did on purpose. Also am I the only one hoping he's ready for BOSJ, mostly to see what a match between him and Shingo would look like?

No wonder they never honor the egomaniac and distance themselves from him haha. Well in the first main event for New Japan he faced Karl Gotch, so he definitely wasn't taking liberties in that match. New Japan seems to honor Gotch's legacy more than Inoki's these days. Especially since Gotch's techniques are still taught in the dojo to this day and as we have seen are extremely effective.

Because Gotch never fed them to real fighters and he never called himself a god, the Japanese are the ones who proclaimed him Kamizama. Inoki on the other hand demanded devotion and was carried in a throne and in a crucifiction to the ring.

New Japan dies if it wasn’t for Tanahashi.

Yes and he sacrificed his fake wrestlers to do it. New Japan dies if it wasn’t for Tanahashi. I was alluding to the fact that those instances happened way after he was ousted from New Japan. So the "fake wrestlers" that he "sacrificed" there were clearly fake wrestlers Josh Barnett, Naoya Ogawa or Tim Sylvia.
