[sithhoplite]

G1Supercard was ok. The New Japan Pro Wrestling parts killed it, though I am pissed Okada won the IWGP Heavyweight Title, Swtichblade JayWhite should have won it but I know he will take it back. I loved that the G.O.D. brought home the ROH tag titles to the Bullet Club though.

 The Ring of Honor matches were not that good, and the ladder match went on far too long. The gulf in talent is obvious between the two promotions. Time to rest up and get ready for Wrestlemainia tomorrow.

Elgin, Kanemitsu Leave NJPW; Naito in CMLL, Costa Rica; Taguchi, Shota in TAKA + Taichi Produce 3/31; Juice v. Bully Ray at G1 Supercard Confirmed, But Maybe Suzuki Too?; This Week’s NJPW on AXS: 3 Hour New Japan Cup Marathon

Strong Style Story Podcast Episode 51 on Pro Wrestling Only

This is gonna be a long one, as I’m shoehorning in a LOT of news from the last week right before I head to NYC for G1 Supercard. Why not listen to my podcast about it above/below?

Some sad news from NJPW late last night, as it was announced that Young Lion Teruaki Kanemitsu has departed from New Japan. Kanemitsu, 26, debuted on 1/3/2016 at that year’s Fan Festa, in a losing effort to Sho Tanaka (SHO, duh). Kanemitsu suffered a cervical spinal injury in November of that year as well, and was on the shelf for 25 months, returning in a tag match at the second Road to Tokyo Dome show last year on 12/18/2018. However, it seems that would be it for him, as he never had another match since. Who knows if he will return to wrestling in another promotion, or if he is done for good. Whatever the case, we wish him well in his life post-NJPW.

In less tragic news, NJPW also announced the departure of Michael Elgin, and no, I am not going to cry about it. Elgin has been on the periphery of NJPW for quite some time: he was never booked on any USA shows since 2018, with NJPW knowing full well how toxic he was Stateside due to the controversy concerning his conduct regarding an alleged victim of sexual assault by one of Elgin’s students in the St. Louis area. 

Even now, despite some high profile bookings in CMLL last year, it seems the only company Elgin can get regular work in is IWA Mid-South, run by another known scumbag in Ian Rotten. And while there has since been some information indicating that the accuser has also been up to some scumbaggery, that doesn’t negate Aaron Frobel’s own very public scumbaggery in any way shape or form. To my knowledge he is still the only wrestler to be repeatedly told to fuck off during a live NJPWWorld stream by other wrestlers. 

There are reports out there that Elgin knew he wasn’t going to be booked for this year’s G1 Climax, and that he and NJPW came to mutual terms as of 3/31/2019. But let’s face it: bar brief IWGP Intercontinental and NEVER Openweight title reigns, and some very good matches during G1 Climaxes past, he wasn’t going to be much of a big time player following the World Tag League 2017 debacle, and a huge part of (American, internet) fandom didn’t want to see him in NJPW. It’s done now. There are rumors he may try to get in with another Japanese promotion, but honestly I hope not. Fuck Michael Elgin.

Not one to reimain idle, Tetsuya Naito made his way to this part of the world a week early. He and his Ingobernables brethren Rush & Terrible teamed in the main event of last Friday night’s Arena Mexico show in CMLL, losing in straight falls (2nd by DQ) to Volador Jr., Caristico & Valiente. The Ingobs further humiliated Caristico and Valiente by unmasking them post-match. It’s not essential viewing at all, but fun. You can see that on CMLL’s official YouTube channel.

The next night, Naito appeared at the 5th Anniversary show for the Costa Rica Wrestling Embassy promotion, defeating head trainer Escualo via Destino in the main event. That match has not been made available as yet; it could come on NJPWWorld, but who knows. CMLL wrestler Esfinge also appeared as a substitute for the injured Shigeo Okumura, who was previously booked for this event.

This past Sunday, another TAKA + Taichi Produce show happened at Tokyo Shinkiba 1stRING. Called TAKATaichi House In Shinkiba, it was mostly your average Japanese indie show, however the main event featured Ryusuke Taguchi & Shota Umino taking on the Suzuki-gun pair of TAKA & Taichi. The NJPW pair were victorious in the end. Once again, not sure if this one made tape or not. Stay tuned.

Yesterday it was confirmed that IWGP US Heavyweight champion Juice Robinson answered the Open Challenge for a NYC Street Fight by Bully Ray, and the match was made official. So there’s that. However there is some speculation that Juice may not be the only one, following this cryptic tweet from Minoru Suzuki (with translation). Suzuki is not officially booked at G1 Supercard. We know he will be in the area, as he is fighting Josh Barnett in the main event of the GCW Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport show on Thursday in New Jersey, and will probably show up for the RevPro show on Friday too. So there’s really no reason for Suzuki to not be part of G1 Supercard, and it’s this or the Honor Rumble pre-show match. 

Finally, NJPW on AXS goes the distance this week, with a three hour marathon of new episodes focusing on the later rounds of the New Japan Cup. The advertised matches this week are:

8pm EDT / 7pm CDT: Kazuchika Okada v. Will Ospreay, 3/20 Shizuoka Twin Messe; Hiroshi Tanahashi v. Zack Sabre Jr., 3/21 Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu 9pm EDT / 8pm CDT: New Japan Cup Semifinals, 3/23 Niigata Aore Nagaoka 10pm EDT / 9pm CDT: New Japan Cup Final, 3/24 Niigata Aore Nagaoka

Next week they are due to start showing matches from G1 Supercard, starting with Jay White v. Kazuchika Okada for the IWGP Heavyweight title, so that should be fun.

And with that, I am out. Hitting the road for NYC very early on Thursday morning in order to make it there in time for DDT Coming to America at La Boom on Thursday night, followed immediately by Kaiju Big Battel at the same place. I will also be hitting the Festival of Honor meet & greets on Friday before going to the RevPro show on Friday. Saturday will be G1 Supercard, naturally, but not before I finally get to see my favorite wrestler of all time, The Great Muta, at the House of Glory event in Queens. I hope to see and meet some of you there. Look for the old bearded guy probably wearing an LIJ hoodie. Also, listen to my latest podcast, and indeed, keep tabs on SOSWrestleTalk’s Soundcloud feed as my travelling partner and I may be posting regularly from the road. I am also planning to do a post-G1 Supercard podblast, as @damascenocs will be onsite as well, so hope we can get that together. 

Enjoy!
