NJPW Kizuna Road 2019 Tour + Southern Showdown in Australia (June 29 & 30)

The roster is kinda thin w the elite bouncing they could afford to drop in another surprise or two ....im not as big on Moxley as some are here so that announcement was whatever to me.

No doubt about, we've been asking for new people and/or new angles for a long ass time, specially in the G-1 which has ran the basically the same roster for like 6-7 years.

Wasn't Kenny the only one booked strong anyways since he was full-time? I remember reading somewhere that Cody, Page, and the Bucks weren't fully given the ball because of ROH having priority over dates or something like that.

Bucks and Cody got big pushes considering they were nothing special to Japanese audiences, specially the Bucks. Kenny earned his stardom since moving to heavyweight

we are agreeing breh. Having 4-5 new important guys would be like the first time in like 15 years it happens, how wouldn't it be historic? I'm not rooting against it or anything.

It's crazy how much buzz Moxley is making but I still feel he's Dean Ambrose, like I don't picture him as a difference maker even though he's clearly making way more noise than I expected. I guess I'm just too damn old at this point

Na, you’re right. that promo was Dean being Dean, but with a little more freedom.

Only thing that’s changed is his wrestling and intensity.

Davey Boy Jr is done with NJPW. Court Bauer about to strap a rocket to his ass in MLW, I'm sure.

Juice is done with ROH. Did Lifeblood do ANYTHING?

So I guess the first Kizuna Road show from 6/15 wasn't televised? It's not on NJPW World.

Kevin Kelly not on commentary for the 6/16 or 6/17 shows (and I'm assuming he wasn't on the 6/15 show either). I hope he's still with New Japan.

Kelly's still with them. Breh just spent most of a month in Japan, and unlike Jericho, he actually wants to see his family from time to time.

First night of G1 will probably be the next time he calls a show.

NJPW World still hasn't posted today's Southern Showdown show and every link I can find online has the last 5 minutes missing from Romero/ELP. Maybe there was some broadcast issue and they're trying to get that footage cut back in before posting the show.
