r/NJPWWorld

(Note: I've scheduled this to appear 90 minutes before the opening bell... we'll see how my first mod action works out)

Hello everyone! This is our live and post-show discussion thread for the 6th July show on NJPW. As usual I won't be able to watch live but I'll join you later in the day to celebrate OSKAR's destruction of Huge Yuj / Co-ordinate to all cancel our World subscriptions if Gedo dares to take away YOH's title.

If you're new to r/NJPWWorld, this is where we discuss things that happen on NJPW World, NJPW's kickass subscription service where you can see everything except their rubbish NJOA shows. Come and join us! There are several of us. SEVERAL!

Matches

Hontai vs HoT four-man tag

Not even a G1 preview lol

Hontai vs Unbound Company four-man tag

Also not a G1 preview, but we do get Wolf's ~7th ever (I think) match against a not HoT opponent, so interesting nonetheless. Plus Goto may face off with Tsuji, which will play into Tsuji's comments about needing to beat previous Heavyweight title winners.

Tiger Mask and Jado vs Gedo and Ishimori and Kanemaru and Togo three-way tag

A bunch of junior legends collide in Tiger Mask's pen-penultimate match. Should be... interesting.

OSKAR vs Yujiro Takahashi G1 play-in

The winner will go on to face Ren Narita in the opening night in Chicago. Jesus Christ they wouldn't have Yujiro in the G1 in 2026, would they? Would they??

El Phantasmo vs Ryohei Oiwa G1 play-in

The winner gets the delightful prize of facing Boltin in Chicago. Should be a good one, if Oiwa loses we (I) riot.

Shota Umino vs Gabe Kidd Global Heavyweight title match

Depending on what Gabe Kidd we get, should be a very good match. No matters what he says, do NOT suck your mums.

YOH vs Francesco Akira Jr Heavyweight title match

Let us pray they don't put Zane Jay on commentary. Genuinely the worst English broadcast guest I've ever heard.
