Suzuki: What do you mean I can't have a Street Fight?! Taka: Dude, I don't think even you can deal with the New York State Athletic Commission. Andrew Cuomo: I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce the new head of the New York State Athletic Commission, Mr. Minoru Suzuki! Suzuki: Cuomo: Um...that is to say, uh, the new Governor of the State of New York, Minoru Suzuki! I for one welcome our new Governor-Gun Overlord.

Some story behind the 6 woman tag.
Hana Kimura was apart of Oedo Tai until she quit the group and adopted a new look. At a recent show in Japan, Hana asked Sumie to team with her at The Garden and during it Hazuki and Kagetsu attacked them

You know what?
Even though I'm a complete Naito whore, I'd be OK with Okada winning the belt back.
But he's gotta be Redhead Disco Balloon Okada.

I was also fine with the option of Naito winning the title from White at Dominion, Okada winning the G1 and having Naito defend and defeat Okada at WK

Here at the Fan Festival, and just met Liger. The entertainment has been solid, but the place isn’t packed. There are mostly people on long autograph lines than in the seated area watching the stage.
EDIT: PCO won the arm wrestling tournament, defeating Cobb in the finals. Those two ran through everyone else before PCO swept Cobb in two straight.
Also, of all the Meet & Greet sessions, the following sold out within an hour of doors opening: Okada, Ibushi, LIJ, Ospreay, Liger and ZSJ.
EDIT 2: There’s a new IWGP title belt.

Does anyone know if tomorrow’s show is scheduled for an easily digestible three hours or is it going to be another over-indulgent four and a half hour slog?

The first part of the card was fine but those last two matches (Castle verses Scurll and Cody verses Omega) killed me.

PCO continues to add to his trophy case
Similar to when Tana won the IC belt, it looked like a shiny new version of the current design. White was notably pissed, since they made a new one but kept the champion’s name vacant. I’m heading home now, but when I get in, I need to talk about the emotional rollercoaster that was Coleman’s Pulpit with PCO. EDIT: Okay, so the Pulpit was crazy. It started off as a regular interview. Coleman is cracking jokes and PCO was very humble and honest. Which was extra funny as 15 minutes before he was in-character winning the arm wrestling tournament. Then Destro starts setting things up and my sweet lord. I’ve seen the PCO vignettes before, but being a few feet away from this stuff was a whole different experience. PCO bends a nail and a drill bit with his teeth. Destro breaks a hammer over his eyeballs. They laid slabs of concrete on his chest and broke them with a sledgehammer. He ripped two packs of cards with his teeth. They shocked him with a car battery. Threw darts into his chest after they stapled a photo of Guerrillas of Destiny to it. PCO is screaming in pain the whole time. Everytime Coleman checks on him, he says “don’t worry” and does the next act. They keep giving us the broken/bent pieces to confirm that they aren’t gimmicked. Finally they stop and things get emotional. PCO comes back out of character to talk about the first time he met Coleman. It was during a tour in Egypt - the same tour he mentions changed his world view. When ROH called him, he was happy that he would be working alongside his friend more than anything. Coleman cries. PCO tears up. We are all applauding. Wild segment overall, but a nice one to close out the entertainment portion of the event before we got the press conferences for the Jr., IC, IWGP and ROH World titles.
