It's back again, and this time with a kind of boring looking Super Jr. Tag tournament.
We got 4 "Road To" Shows being broadcast online, and of course power struggle itself on November 5th. First show is this Saturday Morning AKA Tomorrow night for most of us late night NEETs. Major stories are building up the Okada vs Naito match with tons of LIJ CHAOS matches, Tanahashi vs ibushi, and of course, the big match, Yano vs. Suzuki. also for those that missed Global wars check out yano vs colt cabana a really great match
it also looks like they're building to Beretta vs Omega? Probably at the World tag league finale show.

Yeah the tourney is the main event of three of the road to shows. It's the Junior Tag team tournament. I'm most excited to see what Kawato and kushida can do as a team. The first road to is also the Nagata 25th anniversary show
No.81051
>>81048
Its kind of obvious, sadly, that Kawato's eating the pin against Roppongi 3K, cant stop their push this early, but I'm hoping he gets to lead the match and showcase his move set.
The last time I saw him team with Kushida it was like an Enzo and Cass tag where the whole time Kawato was in danger and was reaching for Kush. Sad!
No.81055
>>81051
Yeah kawato's the job guy, but he IS in a major non young lion tournament which means the office trusts hi. enough to not fuck up a main event match. Also even if he loses he should still have a good match. I expect we'll see him go on excursion after wrestle kingdom, and him graduating so soon is really something.

>Prior to becoming a professional wrestler, Kitamura was a highly accomplished amateur wrestler, known for being one of the largest wrestlers in all of Japan. Because of his size and physique, he earned the nickname "Wrestling Monster". He attended Senshu University, where he was a part of their wrestling team. In 2006, he won the All Japan Wrestling Championship in the 120 kg category, and later on in the same year represented Japan in the World Championships. Throughout his amateur career, Kitamura would go on to win three national championships and represent Japan on a global level twice. As well as amateur wrestling, Kitamura took part in the 2015 Ganryū-jima fighting tournament, where he defeated a Mongolian Sumo wrestler.
>Steroids and ban
>On June 13, 2011, Kitamura was banned from amateur wrestling for two years after testing positive for anabolic steroids, specifically, the illegal muscle building drug drostanolone. Kitamura was being tipped as a possible member of Japan's Olympic wrestling team for the 2012 London Olympic Games, but the ban ruled him out of participation. He did not appeal against the ban, but said that he "took them by accident after buying some supplements from abroad".

Final card has been posted for power struggle here https://www.njpw1972.com/tornament/13057?showCards=1
Not gonna bother reformatting and posting it cause it takes too fucking long, here's the press release though
>In the main event, Intercontinental Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi meets the challenge of Kota Ibushi. The Ace’s third title defense will be against the man who beat him during this summer’s G1 Climax. The tour leading up to Power Struggle has seen Tanahashi and Ibushi tear into one another up and down Japan, and Osaka will see their feud reach a new level of intensity.
>Freshly signed in the semi main event spot is a battle for the IWGP US Championship. Kenny Omega takes on Beretta, as the former Roppongi Vice member seeks his first heavyweight gold in New Japan.
>On October 29, Beretta laid down the surprise challenge to Omega. In response, Omega accepted the challenge to ‘kill time’ on the road to Wrestle Kingdom in the Tokyo Dome. Yet Beretta’s string of victories since turning heavyweight prove he isn’t to be taken lightly. Will Omega cement himself as the self proclaimed ‘sumo yokozuna’ of New Japan? Or will one Dudebuster be enough for Beretta to score a landBooker upset?
>In the seventh match, the freshly crowned IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay meets Marty Scurll. On October 9, Ospreay finally vanquished KUSHIDA on the fifth time of asking to seize his first Junior Heavyweight title. It was a dream come true for Ospreay, but Scurll looks to wake the champion up. The Villain declared that the three certainties in life are death, taxes, and Marty Scurll defeating Will Ospreay, and Scurll’s win over Ospreay in this year’s Best of the Super Juniors would support that claim. If Scurll’s form against his countryman continues, there will be a new champion.
>Rounding out the title matches to take place on November 5 is Toru Yano trying to take Minoru Suzuki’s NEVER Championship- or perhaps it’s the other way around? After a King of Pro Wrestling tag match resulted in a countout loss for the NEVER Champion, Yano heaped insult on injury for Suzuki by making off with his championship belt. An incensed Suzuki vowed to tie up the master thief, leading to a Bullrope Deathmatch. With both men tied to one another, this will be one rope Yano can’t use to call for a BREAK.
>In the fifth match, a ten man tag with Wrestle Kingdom implications will see a preview of the Tokyo Dome main event on January 4. IWGP champion Kazuchika Okada will lead a CHAOS team of Hiroki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI, Tomohiro Ishii and Gedo. They will face Los Ingobernables De Japon in the form of EVIL, SANADA, Hiromu Takahashi, BUSHI and Okada’s next IWGP title challenger Tetsuya Naito.
>In the fourth bout of the evening, the Super Junior Tag Team tournament will reach its climax. SHO and YOH, Roppongi 3K have proven dominant since bursting onto the scene in Ryogoku at King of Pro Wrestling. The new IWGP Junior Tag Champions beat a game Hirai Kawato and KUSHIDA in the tournament opener before coming out on top of Hiromu Takahashi and BUSHI in what was a brutal and bloody test of the champions’ mettle.
>They face the Super 69 team of ACH and Taguchi. The fun loving new combination had far from a nice time in the quarter and semi finals of the tournament, but still managed to give a licking to the two Suzuki Gun teams standing in their way. Taguchi seems to have made a smooth transition from his Funky Future former partner Ricochet to ACH, while the high flying American has done a Super job in absorbing Taguchi’s coaching knowledge. Who will prove themselves to be the best junior tag team in New Japan?
>The second and third matches at Power Struggle will see New Japan loyalists lock horns with outsider factions. Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima and Togi Makabe will face the Bullet Club’s Cody, Yujiro Takahashi and Chase Owens. Meanwhile KUSHIDA, Tiger Mask, Jushin Thunder Liger, Juice Robinson and Young Lion Hirai Kawato will face Zack Sabre Junior, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Taichi, TAKA Michinoku and El Desperado of Suzuki Gun.
>Getting Power Struggle started with the biggest possible bang, the Young Bucks will return to Japan to take on Titan and Dragon Lee. There will be no cease or desisting one sweet international clash of elite high fliers.
That’s not all, as a special preshow match will see the much lauded Muscle Beast, Katsuya Kitamura take on David Finlay. Kitamura seems to be outgrowing his Young Lion status, but Finlay will seek to use his position as a dojo leader to put Kitamura in his place.

>Also of note in regard to Callis: When Impact management visited Pro Wrestling NOAH a few weeks back, they made a visit to one of the New Japan events and while there, Scott D'Amore addressed the NJPW locker room and told them Impact would love to work with New Japan again and specifically mentioned Callis was coming to work for Impact. D'Amore also, during that same meeting, specifically apologized to IWGP champion Kazuchika Okada for how he was used in TNA years ago. At the time, Okada was booked to dress like Kato from The Green Hornet and play Samoa Joe's lackey. It was not good, and it looked even worse when Okada returned to NJPW and exploded into one of the best workers in the world overnight.
