[MenacingMonk]

I’ll likely be here posting with 2 other members as it happens live.

 

[StatUS]

Looks fire, probably won't see it until next weekend.

 

[Blessed Koala]

Still can't believe both promotions cheated with the tag matches

While it does look fire on paper, its lame to not have single matches for such a event.

 

[TOAD99]

Wish they could’ve had more singles matches for night 3

would’ve wanted to see and learn more about the NOAH stars

It’s time for the rainmaker to have another reign and bring the old belt back too

 

[Silkk]

[DaylitoJames]

Not gonna lie.... I want Shingo and Desperado to roll out of Wrestle Kingdom victorious with their titles

 

[Mastamimd]

In.

 

[MenacingMonk]

My interest has gone down, but I’m gonna try to power on and watch this to hopefully take my mind off recent events.

[WhatsGoodTy]

Katsuyori Shibata Back?

 

[MightyHealthy]

In.

 

[THE 101]

Night one and two main events should be fire and maybe Naito/Cobb and Sho/Yo. Outside of that nothing really appeals to me.

 

[MightyHealthy]

CHILLS.

THE WRESTLER IS BACK

Edit: Shibata said "fukk it, strikes allowed, regular match"
