To plagiarize my previous post, I don't know whether to be more amused or annoyed that Kaito showed more intensity and passion this morning than he has in I don't know ever, esp when Mutoh could have used a couple good boots to his face during their series

dunno how they decided on Hakushi being the one to get his ass kicked for 20 minutes and wrestle basically the entire match but it was pretty fun. He took an INSANE death bump off the apron through the announcer table that the crowd didn't even know how to react to.
They also made Naito/Mutoh, Okada/Kiyomiya and the rest of the Muto Dome show card final with lots of big matches. NJPW, DG, AJPW, etc all sending in guys. This is going to be HUGE.

Mutoh retirement show starts at 10pm tonight. I should be in chat watching and i'll have a link for anyone who is too cheap to buy it
Okada is the biggest prick in the universe when he works a NOAH guy. Beats the shit out of him and then just grabs his belt and dips right out.
Make sure not to turn this off after the end of Naito/Mutoh because holy shit best after-match ever.

this card is amazing. there's a handful of guys on it even I don't know.
starting to nod off but the junior supershow has been super fun so far
Hiromu is booker of the year. Replace Gedo.
When he's acting like a kid who pulled a prank because he
it's hysterical.

David Finlay is Bullet Club as Gedo's new boy
I'll wait and see how it goes but wow talk about a downgrade. Of course I wasn't sold on Jay at first either so maybe he'll kick it into the next gear.

WWE Hall of Fame announcements getting underway.
Ah shit NJPW is actually really shaking the stables up this year!! Suzukigun dies, three new smaller stables form from the ashes, and now
after beating Naito in their NJ Cup match, SANADA has left NJPW to join Taichi in Just 4 Guys, now Just 5 Guys. Clearly they needed a new beefcake stable.
Not totally sold on Finlay as BC leader but he's had a solid run in NJ Cup and I'm happy that all his matches have been clean.
Umino's Tanahashi-light babyface gimmick doesn't fit him at all and feels like it's turning him into Stardust-era Naito. Hopefully it will also lead to the same attitude change and this is all part of Gedo's Master Plan.

@Slayer don't read before watching NOAH main
"Oh Jake Lee Vs Kiyomiya is the main of NOAH tonight? I'll check that out before NJPW"
"....I've never seen a NOAH show with the entire buildings lights turned off, this isn't a good sign."
" Oh GLG has 2 new members, Jake is obviously winning? Weird way to telegraph that."
"It's like 30 minutes in and they have barely done anything."
"...Did he just beat him with a kick in the corner and no finish? lol they got Kiyomiya out of there faster than Okada left after their match"
NOAH doing NOAH things.

Lots of Puro happenings with a number of big shows. SANADA winning NJPW Cup was great and they're continuing to shake up the stable alingments which is years overdue. The main event wasn't very good and I really don't think Finlay has it the more I've watched of him.
AJPW put the tag belts on Kongoh from NOAH, and Kojima is going to be in the Champion's Carnival.

Sakura Genesis will air live in English on NJPW World from Sumo Hall in Tokyo on Saturday, April 8 at 4 a.m. Eastern time.
Here is the finalized lineup:
Really great card. I hope they pull the trigger on SANADA, as his new look/unit is the last chance it feels like and the fans are really behind him ATM.
Here is the finalized lineup:
- IWGP World Heavyweight Championship: Kazuchika Okada defends against 2023 New Japan Cup winner SANADA
- IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship: Hiromu Takahashi defends against Robbie Eagles
- IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship: Bishamon (Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI) defend against Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis)
- NJPW World Television Championship: Zack Sabre Jr. defends against Shota Umino
- IWGP Women's Championship: Mercedes Mone defends against AZM & Hazuki in a three-way
- Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi & BUSHI vs. Taichi, Yoshinobu Kanemaru & DOUKI
- Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa & Master Wato vs. David Finlay, KENTA & El Phantasmo
- Jeff Cobb, Aaron Henare & Francesco Akira vs. EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi & SHO
- Mystery six-man tag team match
Really great card. I hope they pull the trigger on SANADA, as his new look/unit is the last chance it feels like and the fans are really behind him ATM.
Genesis was one of the best ppvs I've watched in a long time. The top 5 matches are all very good to fantastic. Lots of forward story movement and NJPW is continuing to really shake things up.
SANADA! SANADA! SANADA! The crowd reaction to his tights reveal was hilarious. The whole match was worked perfectly to put him over as a top level face. When he hit the Shining Wizard I marked out. Hiromu challenges! But he has to defend his title against Kanemaru first? SANADA proving he's a better faction leader than Naito already.
ELP leaving BC is great but holy shit what a bad stable they are now. I'm hoping ELP is going to join Jay and Juice is AEW for a few months.

Certainly didn't see that coming.
I wonder if SANADA makes it to Forbidden Door as champ?

I'm not saying SANADA should be the champ headed into WrestleKingdom but I think he should have it for at least 4-5 months to completely shed the choker label. If he has an EVIL length title run, I don't think this title win helps too much.

Did anyone check out the Takagi/Henare 3 out of 5 falls match from earlier in the week? I haven't gotten a chance yet but heard great things on it.
I echo the thoughts that Sakura Genesis was a hell of a show. Really enjoyed that tag title match particularly. I liked the idea of the mystery opening six man too, wouldn't mind that be a staple of these monthly tentpole NJ shows really as an opener gimmick.

I feel like they should at least keep the title on Sanada up until WK to establish some dominance a bit. Otherwise like KK said, it could turn into a EVIL like vibe of a run. Granted he won't be winning by screwjob though at every corner clearly.
And will they do MJF/Sanada non-title at Forbidden Door?
