It will air on AXS this year starting just two days after the event. Fastest turnaround ever for the AXS show, besides the time they aired the US show live.
Re: Official NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 12 Thread
Those six matches look great. Can't wait to see what fills this card out.

Besides Jericho/Omega, card looks awesome. Really interested to see how Jay does in a big spot like this

I really wish NJPW would scrap the weight divisions. You can't tell me you wouldn't watch KUSHIDA vs Omega again. Or Hiromu vs Tanahashi.

Re: Official NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 12 Thread
That's shocking. Glad I will be able to see this so quickly. Overall, AXS has been pretty solid on airing the shows fairly recently after they have occurred.famicommander wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 11:25 am It will air on AXS this year starting just two days after the event.

Always great to see NJPW get a big spot on AXS.

I thought the AXS airing was only going to be three hours and thus not the full show.

They will air the rest of the matches in their normal weekly timeslot, one hour's worth at a time.Big Red Machine wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2017 7:57 am I thought the AXS airing was only going to be three hours and thus not the full show.

Just saw the ass kicking Jericho laid down on Omega and the subsequent retaliation by the latter at a press conference. I think this storyline has good heat and am surprised more people aren't talking about it.

Cody vs Ibushi is still happening, but it's a special singles match now instead of a title match

i hope ibushi returns to roh next year.
Re: Official NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 12 Thread
Would be cool to see him brought in for SCOH. Dalton vs. Ibushi for the strap.

I just can't possibly bring myself to care about Suzuki vs. Goto.
Re: Official NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 12 Thread
That match would be serviceable too.supersonic wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 5:07 pmElite vs. Gordon/Ospreay/Ibushi
