Support NeoGAF

[Empyrean Heaven]

Okay guys, I had plans for one of my classic verbose OTs for this event, but due to time constraints and real-life bs it couldn't happen. But still, I wanted to make a topic for a big event for New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

A huge night of action tonight, including Katsuyori Shibata defending the NEVER Openweight title against ROH's Kyle O'Reilly, Kenny Omega putting his Wrestle Kingdom 11 title match up against the main he defeated in the G1 finals, Hirooki Goto, and in the main event, the biggest star in New Japan meets the biggest star in Pro Wrestling Noah as Kazuchika Okada defends his IWGP Heavyweight championship against Naomichi Marufuji!

It all kicks off tonight on NJPWWorld.com at 3AM EST!

If Goto wins I'm flying to Japan and burning this promotion to the ground

Joining you.

Maybe I haven't watched enough reDragon, but why would O'Reilly get such a prominent singles role before Fish?

Ziggler won so Goto isn't winning.

There is only one Goto and that is Goto.

O'Reilly pinned Shibata on an ROH show

Hope I can manage to stay up. Should be a fun event.

Fish wrestled him last monrht and lost

O'Reilly has always been the big future star for ROH, he's quite talented but he has a shit look and shit charisma. Fish is much older so it's tough to see him as a main eventer. O'Reilly could win here (and if Shibata is as hurt as rumored, should), but it's more of a holding pattern for him vs. Cole for the ROH title.

They really going to make Goto take another L? I really hope Kenny doesn't end up getting screwed.
