Lion's Break will now be airing on Fite as well Surprisingly, Lions Break has been a pretty good show so far. I dig the vibe. It's almost kind of like NXT for NJPW.

I was actually hoping Hiromu would pull double duty against EVIL and Ishimori.

Yujiro's reason for attacking Okada was that after he betrayed him and joined BC in 2014. Okada had dismissed getting revenge on him claiming he wasn't on his level.
Yujiro's said that if he's not on his level, then he'll drag Okada down to his

Surprised they are putting both titles up
Hiromu said, he didn't have to. One or the other was fine so I figured that would be their out to have EVIL lose the IC title if anything

One or the other was fine so I figured that would be their out to have EVIL lose the IC title if anything I figured the story would be "Well, Hiromu, you're too small to be a heavyweight, and you're not good enough in my eyes. So, I'll happily give you your wish for the IC belt. Then I'll crush you to prove you're not worthy of EITHER so long as I hold them." Then EVIL would lose by being too cocky.

Yea, I figured EVIL just being an all around dickhead would make this work since he doesn't have to put up both titles thanks to Hiromu saying so Besides that, it isn't even about the titles for Hiromu, he just wants an answer and wants to beat it out of EVIL. Taking the titles is bonus. Smart how they did this tho. Besides Naito, you can say EVIL was the closest to Hiromu. He dyed his hair red and carried Hiromu jacket after he got injured. However, after Hiromu came back he put it back purple.

Taiji Ishimori vs Yuya Uemura You know, I'm a little disappointed they're separating Kidd from GBH. I thought he actually fit in really well teaming with them.

He's already good enough to get over by himself. Yeah, but I kind of want to see Makabe and Honma build GBH back up into a faction by taking some young guys in, just to shake the factions up a bit.

And Kidd has "heel" written all over him, so if he joins anyone it will be either BC or Suzuki-gun.

This is probably just me thinking too much and I'm just wildly speculating, but as a DDT fan it pains me to say it. I think it's entirely possible Daisuke Sasaki joins NJPW full time. He's been referenced by Hiromu in an interview about BOSJ, they bring in his trainer Togo, and in terms of DDT booking, they took the universal belt off of him for Brookes randomly and have given Endo a giant push that tells me there really isn't much room for him at the top with Takeshita, Endo, Harashima etc.
He's obviously a perfect fit for BC since his character is so great (disgruntled drunk anti-authority punk rocker), but if he joins NJPW even for a spell he's immediately a top jr star and they get a bit of a boost out of it.
Edit: he made a recent comment that indicates it isn't Kaito so who knows lol

Has anyone reported when some of the non-Japan wrestlers might be able to appear again for NJPW? I assume that once they arrive in Japan and quarantine for 14 days they would be ok.
I'm dying to see the dynamic in BC once Jay White and KENTA return.

I am rooting for El Depserado.
Also, have they said yet what the situation for the 6-man NEVER tag belts is? I understand they're not a major prize or anything, but I still figure they would need to resolve if they will be vacated, if EVIL and his partners fight over who can have them, etc.
