Last year they waited until the day after KOPW, since they needed to debut Shingo before revealing the teams. This leads me to believe something will happen at KOPW that leads directly into a team or two. Or they waited to October 9th, which is exactly one year from when they announced all the teams last year. The teams are: R3K Birds of Prey ELP/Ishimori Despy/Nobu Taguchi/Rocky Tiger/Uemura Volador/Titan TJP/Connors No Dragon Lee or Amazing Red, unfortunately. The TJP/Connors team isn't super random, as they hinted to their connection on Night 1 of the Super J-Cup. I was hoping Amazing Red would be in the mix, but there isn't a readily apparent partner for him at the moment I guess. Dragon Lee will probably pop up on January 6th, I'm guessing.

So Jan 6 is going to be the date New Japan torpedoes the relationship with CMLL? edit: or I guess Jan 6 is the point where the CMLL power struggle will be tilted in Dragon Lee's new name's favor?

The New Japan Dojo has taken damage from the Typhoon that hit Japan this weekend. The first floor is flooded

The Great O-Kharn won his first title today, teaming with Rampage Brown to win The RPW Tag Titles.

New Year's Dash is still a thing, but on the 6th this year because of the 2 day Wrestle Kingdom

New Year's Dash is still a thing, but on the 6th this year because of the 2 day Wrestle Kingdom My point was that Dragon Lee (Whatever his post-CMLL name is going to be unless he is just staying Dragon Lee which is cool and good) is on CMLL's shitlist for the blowup that happened after BOLA (I think) weekend. And the conceit that he'd return to New Japan either means New Japan is torpedoing their relationship with CMLL or the CMLL has shifted its internal struggle that Dragon Lee is no longer persona non grata. It is cool that New Year Dash is actually happening though, I wasn't super sure.

Mox can’t make the show due to the typhoon. The US title has been vacated so it’s Juice vs Archer for the title.

That’s a bummer about Mox, but more than happy with Archer getting a prominent spot in exchange.

Don't think Shooter has come over to the UK yet, he should have got the right to defend his dad's honour.

That's three shows now that I was looking forward to mainly for him that he didn't wind up appearing at. First Josh Barnett's Bloodsport 2, then All Out, and now King Of Pro Wrestling. I realize this stuff isn't his fault, but it makes me less of a fan since I don't ever actually get to see his matches it seems.
