Gleat's second representative. Minoru Tanaka is a guy who hasn't aged in either looks or skill. Got the reverse Anderson genes

So what is everyone expecting from Kairi/Mercedes? Hoping for a good match, Mercedes has had a month to adjust and train. It's billed as The Co-Main Event so they are getting a big opportunity.

So what is everyone expecting from Kairi/Mercedes? I think it goes between 20-25. Have no clue what it will look like otherwise. This is Mercedes’ match in……almost a year? A couple of months shy of it, at least. It’s also a new environment with a new style. Even if it is a familiar opponent.

Okada no-showed the press conference with Kaito Kiyomiya. He sent a text saying that he elected not to show due to the title match with Tanahashi on the 18th in San Jose.
Kiyomiya stormed out pissed. I don't think Kaito is booked anytime until the Dome so, he's free until then to travel if he wants to.

This is really the first time we're seeing a shithead, big ego Okada, who is just like "I'm better than you, and I'm just gonna humiliate you every way I can"... and it's been fun so far lol

I do like that the NJPW top faces don't mind showing a mean streak sometimes, like Tanahashi being intentionally patronizing when a story calls for it, or Okada and Naito being dismissive. It's bad if you overdo it, but giving them hubris can pay off.

Okada has already won the match, he's all in Kaito's head.

Odd that the Jr. Tag Champs haven't been announced yet.

This Okada/Kiyomiya build is the best I’ve seen in a long time. It got me to order the ppv.

Tanahashi says that he's planning to retire at 61 since Mutoh is retiring at 60

I do like the idea of Tana putting it out there that he wants to outlast a lot of other guys, since he's made comments about other wrestlers in the past based on "Well, OK, but your style is gonna cut your career short." (Shibata, and to a lesser extent Kenny).
