New Japan Pro-Wrestling Co., Ltd. (新日本プロレス株式会社 Shin Nihon Puroresu Kabushiki-kaisha), operating as New Japan Pro-Wrestling (新日本プロレス Shin Nihon Puroresu) and sometimes referred to as NJPW or simply New Japan, is a major Japanese puroresu or professional wrestling promotion founded in January 1972 by Antonio Inoki. In 2005, Inoki sold the promotion to Yuke's, who later sold it to Bushiroad in 2012. Naoki Sugabayashi has served as the Chairman of the promotion since September 2013, while Katsuhiko Harada has served as the President of the promotion since February 2016.

Owing to its TV program aired on TV Asahi, NJPW is the largest professional wrestling promotion in Japan and the second largest promotion in the world. NJPW has had agreements with various MMA and professional wrestling promotions around the world, and presently has working relationships with Ring of Honor (ROH), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW) and Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw) in a collective known as the New IWGP Conception. NJPW's biggest event is the January 4 Tokyo Dome Show, held each year since 1992 and currently promoted under the Wrestle Kingdom banner.

<div style="background-color:#ffffff;color:yellow;border-style:solid;border-width:3px";">With the G1 Climax wrapping up and me completing the migration of all my image files from Photobucket, I am ready to once again present New Japan Pro-Wrestling. My old game lasted for about ~60 shows and was definitely the best stuff I've ever posted. I am hoping to go above and beyond that game with better presentation, more regular updates and news items, longer write-ups and much more. I want to give credit to Mootinie and his old NJPW game as he inspired mine and let me lift some graphics, as well as the people at Voices of Wrestling for their awesome work and the handful of graphics I am going to use below. For some fun reference, take a look at the first NJPW dynasty I ever posted on here, almost 10 years ago.

My game is going to begin with the Road to DESTRUCTION and will use the real world cards for those events. If you have not watched the G1 Climax 27 yet, please do so as the posts below will have immediate spoilers.</div>

Full cards for DESTRUCTION tour and KING OF PRO-WRESTLING double main event!

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/XaAsImx.jpg</div>

<div style="background-color:#ffffff;color:yellow;border-style:solid;border-width:3px";">Full cards for DESTRUCTION tour and KING OF PRO-WRESTLING double main event! by Dean - 8/22/17</div>

Full cards have been released for every show on the DESTRUCTION tour, as well as the special double main event for KING OF PRO-WRESTLING at Sumo Hall.

At Tokyo Korakuen Hall, we’ll see two 10-man elimination tags: one pitting CHAOS against Los Ingobernables de Japón, the other between Taguchi Japan and Suzuki-gun. The feuds between these stables seem to be rapidly escalating and will undoubtedly shape the coming months in New Japan.

At DESTRUCTION in FUKUSHIMA, we will see the first of three IWGP Tag Team Title 3 Way bouts between War Machine, Killer Elite Squad and the Guerrillas of Destiny, which are sure to be hard-hitting brawls. The show will close with two NEVER Title matches, as the team of EVIL, SANADA and BUSHI will defend their Six Man Tag Team Title against Kazuchika Okada, Toru Yano and Rocky Romero, while Minoru Suzuki defends his Openweight Title against Michael Elgin.

DESTRUCTION in HIROSHIMA features four championship matches. In addition to the IWGP Tag Team Title 3 Way, newly crowned IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team champions Ricochet and Ryusuke Taguchi will defend against Taichi and Yoshinobu Kanemaru. The Taguchi Japan vs. Suzuki-gun rivalry will continue as KUSHIDA defends the Jr. Heavyweight Title against El Desperado, and Zack Sabre Jr. challenges Hiroshi Tanahashi for the IWGP Intercontinental Title.

DESTRUCTION in KOBE will see the third IWGP Tag Team Title 3 Way Match in addition to the IWGP US Heavyweight Title main event between the inaugural champion, Kenny Omega, and Juice Robinson. Juice scored a pinfall win over Kenny Omega in the G1, and certainly has a chance here to walk away as the 2nd ever US Heavyweight champion.

Finally, the double main event for KING OF PRO-WRESTLING has been announced. Kazuchika Okada will make the 8th defense of his IWGP Heavyweight Title against EVIL, while Tetsuya Naito puts his Tokyo Dome IWGP Heavyweight Title #1 Contendership on the line against Tomohiro Ishii.

The Road to DESTRUCTION begins on 9/5/17!

The Road to DESTRUCTION kicked off in front of 4,000 fans at a sold out Nagoya International Exhibition Hall. The night ended as many have, with Los Ingobernables de Japón victorious and Tetsuya Naito sending the crowd home with his electric post-match promo. While the night saw virtually no upsets, Beretta won his first match as a heavyweight, using the Dudebuster to put away Chase Owens. The Road to DESTRUCTION continues on 9/7 at Tokyo Korakuen Hall!

<div style="background-color:#ffffff;color:yellow;border-style:solid;border-width:3px";">Road to DESTRUCTION Night 2 results! by Dean - 9/7/17</div>

Korakuen Hall hosted the second night of the Road to DESTRUCTION tour, which ended in a great main event pitting LIJ against CHAOS in an elimination tag. CHAOS immediately faced adverse odds, as Romero, Ospreay and Yano were the first three eliminations, leaving Okada and Ishii to face the entirety of Los Ingobernables de Japón. They put up a valiant effort, but EVIL once again secured a huge victory, using the EVIL to pin Okada cleanly. EVIL will have a shot at Okada's IWGP Heavyweight Title in October and this win could very well be a sign of events to come. Furthermore, Tama Tonga picked up a big win over one half of the IWGP Tag Team Champions, using the Gun Stun to pin Hanson in a six man tag match. The Guerrillas of Destiny will have three chances to secure the IWGP Tag Team Title over the course of the DESTRUCTION tour, and this win certainly boosted their confidence in advance of the title matches.

FankuKaibutsu · August 24, 2017

Glad to see this back. I really enjoyed your last NJPW run.

1. Yuji Nagata & Hirai Kawato vs. Manabu Nakanishi & Shota Umino - Coin toss.

2. Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI vs. Tomoyuki Oka & Katsuya Kitamura

3. Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens vs. Beretta & Jado - I got a theory with this match that they're literally starting him at the bottom of the ladder as a heavyweight.

4. Hiroshi Tanahashi, Togi Makabe, KUSHIDA, Ryusuke Taguchi & Ricochet vs. Takashi Iizuka, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, TAKA Michinoku , Taichi & El Desperado -Suzuki-Gun doesn't have any heavyweights, so will lose.

5. IWGP Tag Team Title, 3 Way Match: Raymond Rowe & Hanson © vs. Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr. vs. Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa - This is so hard to predict because I get the feeling the belts are gonna change hands at each show, and it's a crapshoot for the first two nights.

6. Kenny Omega & Bad Luck Fale vs. Juice Robinson & David Finlay

7. Tomohiro Ishii & Will Ospreay vs. Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi - Gotta build up that the challengers can win, even though they're gonna lose.

8. NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Title: EVIL, SANADA & BUSHI © vs. Kazuchika Okada, Toru Yano & Rocky Romero

9. NEVER Openweight Title: Minoru Suzuki © vs. Michael Elgin - I believe in Big Mike.

Road to DESTRUCTION Night 3 results!

<div style="background-color:#ffffff;color:yellow;border-style:solid;border-width:3px";">Road to DESTRUCTION Night 3 results! by Dean - 9/9/17</div>

Earlier tonight, the Road to DESTRUCTION once again passed through a sold-out Korakuen Hall. In the main event, Taguchi Japan took on Suzuki-gun in an action-packed elimination tag. Minoru Suzuki displayed his viciousness by brutalizing the already injured arm of Hiroshi Tanahashi and forcing him to submit to a Cross Armbreaker before going on to outlast everyone else in the match. Suzuki secured the final elimination with a Gotch-Style Piledriver on the opposing faction's leader, Ryusuke Taguchi. After the match, Suzuki got on the mic and insulted the crowd, Taguchi Japan in general, and Michael Elgin, calling the latter a "white pig" while proclaiming Suzuki-gun the top faction in NJPW. Be sure to check out DESTRUCTION in FUKUSHIMA tomorrow night, as we will see a brutal match between Suzuki and Elgin for the NEVER Openweight Title, Los Ingobernables de Japón defending their NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Title, and War Machine in a 3 Way Match against Killer Elite Squad and the Guerrillas of Destiny for the IWGP Tag Team Title!

DESTRUCTION in FUKUSHIMA results!

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/XaAsImx.jpg</div>

<div style="background-color:#ffffff;color:yellow;border-style:solid;border-width:3px";">DESTRUCTION in FUKUSHIMA results! by Dean - 9/10/17</div>

DESTRUCTION in FUKUSHIMA was held in front of 3,000 fans at a sold-out Fukushima Sport Arena Soma and saw a new NEVER Openweight Champion crowned as Michael Elgin defeated Minoru Suzuki in a great match. Suzuki put up a vicious fight but Elgin managed to overpower the Suzuki-gun leader, using his patented Elgin Bomb to pin the veteran after nearly 15 minutes of stiff strikes and brutal exchanges. Despite the presence of El Desperado, Elgin overcame the interference, incapacitating Desperado with a huge Powerbomb on the floor. After the match, Elgin got on the mic, thanked the fans for their support and promised to defend the NEVER Title anywhere, anytime.

The NEVER Openweight Title was surprisingly the only title to change hands tonight. The Los Ingobernables de Japón trio of EVIL, SANADA and BUSHI successfully defended their title when BUSHI used the MX on Rocky Romero, while War Machine beat the odds and held onto their IWGP Tag Team Title after hitting the Fallout on Tanga Loa.

The Road to DESTRUCTION will continue tomorrow night from the Shibata Cultural Center, as we are on our way to DESTRUCTION in HIROSHIMA on 9/16!

1. Yuji Nagata & Hirai Kawato defeated Manabu Nakanishi & Shota Umino (8:39) when Kawato used a Single Leg Boston Crab on Umino. C+

Standard opener here. These young lions are improving rapidly, and many within the company have Kawato pegged as a hot prospect - potentially a break-out star and fantastic in-ring performer. He is already one of the most sympathetic underdogs in the whole company, so the fans cherish his wins even more than normal.</div>

2. Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI defeated Tomoyuki Oka & Katsuya Kitamura (9:52) when YOSHI-HASHI used a Butterfly Lock on Kitamura. B

A great match for Oka and Kitamura, who have been calling themselves Monster Rage. They expressed an interest in competing in the World Tag League, and with great performances like this they will certainly be considered. Both are making huge strides and learning at a very fast pace.</div>

<div style="background-color:#ffffff;color:yellow;border-style:solid;border-width:3px";"><div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/HIGUTyf.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/4vWpb54.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/pbv7Erx.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/eR1pRiZ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/XxJGypt.jpg</div>

3. Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens defeated Beretta & Jado (9:29) when Owens used a Package Piledriver on Jado. C+

Beretta's start as a heavyweight has been hit or miss so far, as his team took the loss here. As is almost always the case in NJPW, veteran juniors like Jado have a hard time competing against younger heavyweights like Owens and Takahashi. Owens has picked up a handful of nice wins over the last few months, and is undeniably improving in each contest.</div>

This was quite the wild brawl, as Iizuka and the Suzuki-gun juniors fought Taguchi Japan and Makabe all over the arena. Taguchi used his Oh My & Garankle ankle lock on TAKA, building some momentum on his way to the upcoming IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title match against Taichi and Kanemaru.</div>

5. IWGP Tag Team Title: Hanson & Raymond Rowe © defeated Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa (14:21) when Rowe pinned Loa after the Fallout (1st defense). B

A stiff brawl between three of the top tag teams in NJPW. War Machine managed to survive both teams, and can only hope for repeat performances in Hiroshima and Kobe. We can expect all three of these teams to meet again on the way to the World Tag League, as any one of them could enter the Tokyo Dome as champions or Tag League winners.</div>

6. Kenny Omega & Bad Luck Fale defeated Juice Robinson & David Finlay (10:47) when Fale used the Bad Luck Fall on Finlay. B-

Omega and Juice had some great interactions and their US Heavyweight Title match is sure to be intriguing. Finlay is a little lost in the shuffle as he has been slotted as Taguchi Japan's least successful member, only on par with Nakanishi and continually taking falls. Hopefully he can find his groove as he actually showed great chemistry here when teaming with Juice.</div>

7. Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi defeated Tomohiro Ishii & Will Ospreay (13:30) when Naito used the Destino on Ospreay. B

This match had the potential to be exceptional but unfortunately never entered that next gear. Naito and Ishii are clearly still feeling the effects of a grueling G1 tournament. There is a feud brewing between Ospreay and Hiromu, as they attacked each other before the bell rang and Hiromu kicked Ospreay out of the ring after the bout as well. A singles match between these two could be in the works.</div>

<div style="background-color:#ffffff;color:red;border-style:solid;border-width:3px";"><div style="text-align:center;"><img src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/Ybkw6bC.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/Ybkw6bC.jpg"</a> style="border: #000000 4px double;" />

8. NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Title: EVIL, SANADA & BUSHI © defeated Kazuchika Okada, Toru Yano & Rocky Romero (12:55) when BUSHI used the MX on Romero (3rd defense). B

LIJ held onto their Six Man Title and tied the record for most successful defenses at three. They may very well break this record before the end of the year, but EVIL now has his eyes set on Okada.</div>

<div style="background-color:#ffffff;color:yellow;border-style:solid;border-width:3px";"><div style="text-align:center;"><img src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/QtXPvpg.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/QtXPvpg.jpg"</a> style="border: #000000 4px double;" />

9. NEVER Openweight Title: Michael Elgin defeated Minoru Suzuki © (14:46) with the Elgin Bomb - title change. B+

This was the match of the night and the best match of the tour so far. Elgin and Suzuki topped their G1 Climax match and laid in some of the stiffest strikes in New Japan. Elgin single handedly overcame the interference of El Desperado, and captured the NEVER Openweight Title for the first time in his career. Despite the big win, it seems like the rivalry between Suzuki-gun and Taguchi and friends is only going to continue.</div>

<div style="background-color:#ffffff;color:red;border-style:solid;border-width:3px";">I'm excited to get my first full show up and am very happy with how it turned out. I am struggling with some of the match ratings as I think they should be higher, but am working out some kinks to ensure I get ratings that seem appropriate. Consider the lower ratings as post-G1 fatigue still effecting my roster. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Anyway, the Road to DESTRUCTION will continue on to Hiroshima, and I will open up predictions for that card below. Glad to see everyone is interested and I hope you enjoyed the show! Plenty more coming up.</div>

100% on the first show! Guess my booking is predictable, but hey, NJPW can be sometimes. Juice/Finlay vs. Omega/Fale is the tough one, but I can't see Omega or Fale taking a fall unless they have Juice pin Omega again. Finlay seems like the fall guy to me. Great work you two!
