5 weeks to go and I can't predict one match. Give me your possible card...

Literally nobody left in NJPW that anyone wants to see. Just do a different show at this point.

There really isn't a single dimes match to be had. This never should've become an annual thing. Surely not once the partnerships between NJPW, Stardom, and CMLL became a regular thing. There's just no point to it
Even worse if they try to use UK talent for it. There isn't a bigger waste of life in the wrestling industry than the britwres scene. None of those people are a draw to anyone but themselves

They've come off a hot All In and really should be keeping everything going but FD is gonna drag all the booking down as usual and they'll have to restart for All Out. August is gonna suck. I wonder if they'll do Blood n Guts on TV during the month.

The build is boring every year and they keep doing it. I get the partnership thing and NJPW makes money from it but it's not particularly fun anymore.

Everyone gets stabbed to death by illegal shitslimes before the show starts. Their corpses are arrested for islamaphobia. Anyone in the UK who posts about it on social media gets a life sentence in prison.

ZSJ Vs. Ospreay for the IWGP WHC is the only thing that could draw, Maybe. Naito is gone, Idgaf about New Japan anymore.

I mean honestly they already blew all of the momentum from All In the second they announced this past Wednesday's main event. Having Hangman and Mox back in there together immediately only with a bunch of other dudes as well and with zero stakes completely watered down not only the importance but completely no sells all of the violence of their match at All In. We got one promo. After 9 months of Moxley holding the belt hostage and everyone he beat through that reign we got one promo from Hangman after winning and the moment was over. Mox shouldn't be anywhere near tv for at least a month. Everyone who couldn't beat Mox should've been out there celebrating Hangman. There should've been confetti and balloons. He should have thanked Swerve face to face. There's so many things they could have done to carry that momentum yet Tony chose the fastest and easiest one to piss it all away and that was to book another multi-man heatless banger match for the sake of it and nothing else. He just can't help himself

Ospreay is seeing a doctor apparently before going back to UK and taking time off. I'm sure he'll be on the show but it's not looking good.

I saw this in London Oct 2023 for £30 floor seating. I'm not paying £550 same seat to watch it at the O2.

That's unfortunate, godspeed. For the sake of my fantasy booking, I'd sub in Nigel McGuinness for the sake of a british centric headliner. Honestly McGuinness Vs. ZSJ for the IWGP HWC sounds like a collision match, but it could work as a semi-main.

Was reported a while back that Tana will wrestle his 'farewell UK' match on the show. That'll be a hard watch. They really ought to give fans a partial refund when that one gets announced.

They’re not building hangman’s first title feud while they’re planning to take everyone to London for what’s the equivalent of a house show. They’ve done some teasing in the midcard like Okada/Swerve & Darby/Mox but I think Tony is taking a more cautious approach since the first Hangman title run was so panned
