    You'd assume that this (and this title win) was pencilled in for Itami:

    The Japanese crowd will probably be firmly behind Balor when it happens though, I'm assuming?

    They love him. He is seen as more "Japanese" than a foreigner. Devitt was in/grew up in New Japan beginning when the bottom of the promotion completely fell out of it 10+years ago. It was why his heel turn worked so well. Japanese fans were genuinely aggrieved.

    I'd say Balor will win this, Owens is moving up full time soon

    What arena is this held in? the Tokyo Dome?

    What time will it be shown at Irish time?

    So after some googling, it's Sumo Hall (Capacity 13,000) and it's at 6.30am US Eastern time which is 12.30am Irish time?

    Surely can't be Brock vs Kofi....

    .
    The just announced July 4th show from Sumo Hall in Tokyo as a live WWE Network special will have this lineup:

    Lucha Dragons vs. Los Matadores

    Nikki Bella vs. Paige vs. Naomi for the Divas title

    New Day vs. Tyson Kidd & Cesaro for tag titles (this may have to be changed due to Tyson Kidd's injury)

    Chris Jericho vs. Neville

    Kevin Owens vs. Finn Balor for NXT title

    Brock Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston

    John Cena & Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane & King Barrett

    Probably would have preferred Brock vs Dolph and have Cena team with someone else. Ryback maybe.

    Jericho - Neville could steal the show on that card.

    This is tryout week:

    The other two are a surprise but actually heard about Gargano having a tryout before he did. I asked his friends late March about him being scheduled for a tryout. They all told me he didn't. Johnny was only contacted the last two weeks.

    I've independently heard Athena is at the tryouts too. Talked about her in the past:
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=95066028&postcount=596

    If they sign Taeler over Athena I'll jump out the window.

    I take it she's not under contract to TNA anymore then? She is talented so hope they give her a chance

    I hope the NXT tapings slotted in there don't spoil the Japan show.

    Brock Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston

    cali-fred.gif

    One of the most random match-ups I've seen in a long time. I guess they want someone to bump like crazy and do the bulk of the work, but I would have thought a guy like Ziggler in the spot would be a better fit.

    Fingers crossed that it's only Balor that wins a championship.

    Brock will be a face when he returns. New Day are a fun heel groupa he won't have to burst a gut against but can have fun with.

    Eva Marie's husband outing a booing fan:
    https://instagram.com/p/3hM5RoE-Z6/
    The same ones booing are the same ones as giddy as a thirteen year old girl at Cheer practice to get a picture. Hahah! @NatalieEvaMarie - -
    To all the "it's not the same person" people. Nxt is a 2 day back to back event. Watch the taping. It's the same guy. Booing one day, the next day lining up for a pic

    That's what I had in mind, after seeing the documentary last year. Hopefully they make a big deal out of it now. I want streamers falling from the rafters, dammit!

    Hope Ciampa will do well in the tryouts I liked him in ROH despite being booked fairly inconsistently near the end of his run. I think I seen Athena wrestle there a couple of times too.

    I mainly know Andrea, aka, Rosie Lottalove, from Matt Fowler's hatred of her on ign for when she injured Daffney only for TNA to take her on.
    But looking online, you're not kidding about her losing weight.

    I think the awful gimmick she was given was just embarrassing for her and the viewers.

    The Daffney thing didn't help either
