You can now add Goto to the list, I really hope he brings his A game this time, and really can produce class Goto.

It's really starting to be a very good line up, add Okada and a couple of others as well as the general ROH list and you have a very good set of talent for these shows, if everything comes together this could be one of the best ones yet especially with how the likes of Evil have come on.

It would be a long shot to get ZSJ but it would be awesome. Don't see Sal going for it

Announced talents are great; they always are this time of the year.

What I want to see most is Hiromu Takahashi get his comeuppance for his getting booked to a loss-majority during his tenure. Maybe he bulldozes through Mark Briscoe or Adam Page? Or pay Hiromu’s flight ticket to drop Marseliga on his head three times in a sixty second match?

The ROH/NJPW tour cards to me have become my most anticipated of the year. Anyone else feel that way? Always eager to see who's coming and what cool matches we get.

Agreed, although I must admit I'm not too impressed with this years offerings so far, but it's still early in the week. Really hoping for Okada, Tanahashi, Omega, and/or Ishii since Shibata obviously isn't gonna make it. Any or all of those guys would easily satisfy me.

Hopefully at NYC we get to see Christopher Daniels defend the ROH World title against Tetsuya Naito... sadly I think they might try to shock us and switch the title onto Matt Taven after his successful stint in CMLL.

Holding out hope they bring Minoru Suzuki and ZSJ as long shots.

Edit: They just announced BUSHI. The disappointment continues.

Weren't Martinez and LiJ not getting along during their one tag at Honor Rising though? Wouldn't be surprised to see Martinez vs. Naito during the tour.
That didn't stop Lethal and LIJ from teaming together at the G1 after they had problems at War of the Worlds Tour: Dearborn.

Overall I really like who they are brining in this year, obviously I hope Okada can be added and a couple of others, I can see Smith, Takahashi, Sanada and I guess a couple of the other members of the Bullet Club come in. If rumours are to be believed Omega isn't coming so I hope beyond hope that there will a couple more of the Suzuki Gun members to make up for it like Suzuki, Taka and Kanemaru then I think that will close to the best line there may have been brought in since the first ever set of shows.

I was wondering today how important the first War of the Worlds tour is in the grand scheme of wrestling, did the result of these make NJPW realise they have a far greater audience than they knew and that they could expand, would the G1 events in LA be happening?, did it open up the wrestling world as a whole on a greater scale than we had known for some time. Or was it, will it be just seen as another set of shows and didn't really do alot for either company.

Okada and Tanahashi are musts. Looks like we may be getting all of LIJ so that's cool.
