The Korakuen Hall 60th Anniversary Day 2 main event is Hiroshi Tanahashi & Kento Miyahara vs. SANADA & Jake Lee. I actually love that. Any other matches/wrestlers confirmed for that card yet? For day 2 (first day is women) it’s: Ryo Inoue vs. Kosei Fujita Toru Yano & TAJIRI vs. Black Menso-re & Yoshinobu Kanemaru Takao Omori, Ryohei Oiwa & Yuto Nakashima vs. Yoshitatsu, Ryusuke Taguchi & Master Wato Yuma Aoyagi, Atsuki Aoyagi, Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, BUSHI, Shingo Takagi & Hiromu Takahashi) Suwama, Shotaro Ashino & Dan Tamura vs. Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI & YOH Kento Miyahara & Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Jake Lee & SANADA

So it’ll be ZSJ and Ospreay in the next round.
Their match in last year’s cup ruled on every level.

SANADA suffered a fractured orbital bone in his match with Ospreay. Won't compete for the rest of the New Japan Cup tour.
Hoping for a speedy recovery. Not sure what that means for the U.S. title.

Looked like he got legit knocked out in the match.
Afraid the US Title will likely be stripped from him due to it

I do wonder. I know they remove the title from people if they can't make defenses, but if he didn't have any already set and isn't out of it for long enough, they might just let him keep it.

New Japan continues to be snakebit with bad injuries. And it was definitely off of this Also Will was bragging about KOing him on Twitter before the injury was officially announced as injured and out. While he was probably just heeling it up, those haven't aged well and people are dragging him for it. Won't embed due to language but... yeesh dude. twitter.com/WillOspreay/status/1504431734561009669Idk why Ospreay thought this was a good idea, he was totally out of position and his knees hit SANADA right in the face...

I hope a high flyer can break it down like Taz did with the suplex.

Will went through the effort of bulking up to go heavyweight, and he should maybe consider dialing some stuff back from "I can do this, therefore I should" to "maybe I need to be more careful".

That’s a big part of how he injured his neck a badly as he did last year. Still doing a lot of the things he did as a junior in the heavyweight division. It’s not sustainable. He’s gotten much better at it but, there are times where he thinks he’s still the Aerial Assassin. That’s why I’m a bit wary of Hiromu going heavy. He can hardly maintain a solid run without injury as he is. What happens when he bulks up and decides he’s going to keep up the insanity just with more mass on him?

twitter.com/TAKAMIOHBARI/status/1504792458546544641First time NJPW had 1,000+ people in Korakuen since the pandemic started. Hopefully a sign of things on the upswing, especially if the restrictions ease to let the fans cheer, I expect that'll give the product a needed boost.

Hiromu beat Evil with his own finishing move, that's the ultimate sign of disrespect
