From the Observer:

We’re told Tanahashi sent word that he wants to tear the house down in New York with Bennett, as I guess working in New York is a big deal to him.

97-year old Dragon Gate fan can't go to shows, so Dragon Gate goes to her:

This is must read stuff, translated excerpts by or Twitter friend yottsume from Hiroshi Tanahashi's book.

Tanahashi shoots on the main players from the New Japan roster. The Katsuyori Shibata entry is fascinating, and really pounds home the story of why they refuse to go all the way on a Shibata push.

yottsume's translation of Tanahashi's book makes it seem like its the best wrestling biography ever.

Gedo & Jado are the best. What a well booked show.

In the past six months, this has to be like, the third time there was a booking decision only for you to go Lanza-Crazy on it, only for THE VERY NEXT SHOW to be like, "Gedo and Jado da bess, I sowwy!"

I mean, I believe you said "RIP New Japan" after the run-in finish last time. lol

[Kuzzy Powers]

Any link for last night Warner? This will be the true beginning of my NJPW viewing.

Those fuckers are crafty, and always, ALWAYS prove me wrong, but some of their shit moves sooooo sloooooooow. Did we really need a FUCKING YEAR of Suzuki/Yano matches that were all the same, before Iizuka turned on Yano? Couldn't that have been done four or six or eight months ago?

The main event was booked exactly how it needed to be, and exactly how I laid it out on the podcast, so clearly they listen to the show. I'll take credit for it. You're welcome, I saved New Japan from North American Russo hell.

I'll assume you mean free. It takes a few days. I'll put it here when it pops up.
