What about the Third Generation (Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima, Manabu Nakanishi, Yuji Nagata)?

ICHIFUJI · Post by **ICHIFUJI** » Wed Sep 14, 2016 5:12 am

Tenzan, 4 time IWGP champ but title defend only twice
Kojima, 2 time IWGP champ once as AllJapan roster, other as freelancer
Nakanishi, over 20years career one and half month as champ
They are not Ace of New Japan
Only Nagata is called Mr IWGP by one year defending( 2002-2003 )

"Passport" issues with Sydal.............lmao

I wonder if these are the same "passport" issues that Speedball had?

That should about be a wrap for Sydal in NJPW.....

There are some rumors going around that he got caught with a substance and was turned away because of it...

Spoiler: show

That doesn't surprise me at all....lol

Hope he's not still using that synthetic shit and is using the real thing. I know he got caught in WWE with the synthetic kind, which is known to put people in a zombie-like state similar to bath salts.

I thought I heard somewhere Speedball's might have been the same issue. Don't hold me to that though, I could be mistaken...

anyone see Power Struggle results?

The show was OK! A lot of the matches were better than they were on paper and there were definite surprises. Kamaitachi was revealed to be the Time Bomb and challenged KUSHIDA. Hiroshi Tanahashi challenged Testuya Naito at the end of the show.

War Machine seems to be off to a solid start out there......curious to see if they have a shot at winning it.

Wrestle Kingdom 11 being on AXS over 4 weeks is pretty awesome

I'll still probably watch the NJPWWorld feed the night of/day after, but still, very cool.
