    Finally caught up on BTE....I can't gush enough if any of you all aren't watching, the show may be at its peak right now with the Halloween episode and the triple H bits.

    He's gonna have to watch them again before he rates them, that's how it goes.

    Should be getting at least two guaranteed with how stacked this card is. Tana/Omega almost had one year's ago.

    Wow...this is really surprising because even last year, when Jericho asked them to do this, they refused because they wanted to grow NJPW World subs.

    My guess is because the show is actually on at a little better time in the U.S. instead of in the middle of the night they are going to do it this year? It's still way cheaper for people to just pay the $9 for a month of World...idk how much it'll be on Fite but I assume $40 or so...

    There's still an audience there who gets turned off by the New Japan website/accessibility of it, no idea how big the number could be but having it there with the hype of this card is better than not. I don't feel the hype of last year yet, but the audience is that much bigger too. Every year there's people watching that one big show to get hooked, that was me after Omega/Okada. It's a step up, they got a Korean TV deal at 9PM for FX as well. They're making moves.

    From what I gather the documentary is about Kenny and or The golden lovers

    Rumor is Kenny comes out of the closet in the documentary (not joking)

    I thought he was out lol. I listened to an Art of Wrestling show he did with Colt Cabana from like 2013 a while ago, he doesn't exactly hide it.

    Wonder if they'll make it an integral part of the doc, could get a lot of attention being from them.

    NEW JAPAN SHOW AT 10PM TONIGHT WEST COAST

    With a lesson in good, predictable booking.

    Goto vs Ibushi
    Ospreay vs Taichi (#1 Contender for Never Tittle)
    Tongan's vs Evil & Sanada
    The Elite vs Tanahashi/Juice/Finlay/Taguci
    Kushida/Okada/Yano vs Bullet Club
    Chase/Yujiro/Hangman vs Shingo Takagi/Naito/Bushi

    First three matches are cluster f---s, but everything listed should be dope.

    Anyone else watching live with me?! I love when they have Sunday afternoon shows in Japan that start at 10pm my time

    We should some good angles set up to round out the card for the Dome for Never Title (Ospreay/Ibushi), the tag titles (I assume a 3way?), and the U.S. Title (Cody/Juice)
