Is this a sign that ROH is getting the boot as NJPW's American partner?

It's possible Lawlor simply has a deal that allows him to work other promotions for non-televised events, but it does seem he was officially representing MLW, so it's still pretty cool in that way.

Might as well go to bed so can wake up in time for New Japan's first show back.

It won’t happen on a no audience show but since it’s a surprise card and given the name of the show it’d please me greatly if Kaito showed up and suplexed Okada lol. I’m figuring tonight will be pageantry welcome back tag matches and some decent singles, but maybe they’ll do something with stakes.

Main event will be Okada & R3K vs Naito, Hiromu and Shingo.
That'll be damn good.

I don't think I've ever been so hyped for a young lions match.

If a Young Lion actually manages the impossible and wins in the 1st round, what would be your reaction

Desperado vs Ishii is an intriguing matchup

I'd have Hiromu win the cup, lose to Naito, and after building up some defenses eventually drop it to Despy. If that can't happen Despy should win the Never after a strong showing. But what do I know lol.

God it feels good to see these guys back in action. I miss the live crowd sure, but it doesn't feel as terrible as with NA promotions.
And holy hell, Ishii actually looks healthy.
