Seems like I'm gonna watch this WK live. First time in years.

All these legends retiring, man. What a sad time. We have another one going out tomorrow...













...and of course I'm talking about El Hijo del Santo.

Today was WK's go home show and the final Tana match at Korakuen. Good choice in Kosei Fujita as his opponent, Tana probably tried to feed on his youth, like a vampire.

Was wondering when was the last time Tana jumped the ropes before the High Fly Flow, and he tried it today. Emphasis on "tried" :mjcry:

Very emotional speech and moment after, too. Can't imagine how it's going to be at the Dome.

The biggest Dome show in almost 3 decades will have one of the blandest undercards I can possibly imagine :mjlol:

A lot of pressure on Takeshyta, Tsuji, Wolf and Syuri/Kamitani to stand out and make something out of this opportunity and not make this show feel like the last good thing this promotion is gonna have :dead:

Card is:
-Tanahashi vs Okada
-Takeshyta vs Tsuji
-Aaron Wolf vs EVIL
-Desperado/Fujita/Ishimori/SHO (Jr. Title n°1 contender)
-War Dogs/Unaffiliated vs United Empire
-Syuri vs Saya Kamitani
-NEVER 6-Man Tornado Ranbo that has ZSJ, Umino, Uemura and basically the entire roster
-El Phantasmo vs Chris Brookes

Hold on what the fukk ZSJ, who headlined WK this year, was IWGP champ twice in the past year and a half is in the pre show bootleg Royal Rumble? :dahell:

Also did NOAH really get 30k in the Tokyo Dome for Mutoh's retirement? That can't be right.
