New Japan Pro Wrestling 2009 and Beyond: The Path of Light!

Rhyme1234 · June 21, 2018

New Japan Pro Wrestling.

New Japan Pro Wrestling has seen both the path of light and the path of darkness. 1972 was the birth date for New Japan Pro Wrestling, Inoki still had his mind clear at that time...until he became crazy with his MMA vs. Wrestlers "Worked Shoot Fight" obsession at the late 90s and leading up the the 21st century. This change didn't help New Japan at all.

Pro Wrestling NOAH, AJPW, other Japanese wrestling promotions saw lights due to the change in NJPW's product. This made NJPW lose balance in financial ways, made the IWGP heavyweight title lose it's credibility. The most important thing that happened was New Japan Pro Wrestling almost dying. Inoki sold it to Yuke's. Yuke's sold it to Bushiroad. This was the moment from Inoki being kicked out of the promotion, needed a new booker to show the promotion it's path to light again. Tiger Hattori with the help of other, made Gedo & Jado the bookers of New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Thus the journey from the dark path comes to an end, while the journey to the path of light continues. Will Gedo & Jado be able to work in order for New Japan Pro Wrestling to reach the top of the world?

~After the match Shinsuke Nakamura & Hiroshi Tanahashi shared one more “Serious Stare” before Shinsuke exits.

~Hiroshi Tanahashi then starts thanking the crowd for their support. He also mentions about the issue about no challenger stepping in for his “IWGP Heavyweight Championship”. He again mentions that “are all of the wrestlers here afraid to step for the challenge?”, he seems to be frustrated until one challenger seems to step in …

~Brock Lesnar.

 ~“Brock Lesnar” rushes towards the ring, and immediately starts punching Tanahashi off to the ground. The crowd pops in a thunderous way, to see a “former” WWE superstar here in NJPW. He lifts him up and “German Suplex”-ed him multiple times. Brock picked Tanahashi up in the air and the “F-5” connects. Brock drags Tanahashi outside. He breaks the guard rails with his monstrous strength, seting them up, and lifts Tanahashi to “F-5” him again on top of those guard rail metals. Tanahashi is “Broke in Two”.

~Brock Lesnar snatches the microphone from the announcer’s table, gradually not destroying it. He says that he was a piece of Tanahashi and wants his championship belt. He says that he will destroy Tanahashi. The next time he meets him it will be in this ring at “Final Battle X” and he will kill him if he has to. Brock Lesnar poses in the ring as the camera zooms in the bloodied face of Tanahashi…as it fades away. The show comes to an end.

Dream~! : 4/4 (Congragulations Dream)

Clean and easy to read so far. The NJPW hype lives at the moment.

Im certainly interested to see how the journey goes.

Thank you very much Tardelli. Hope you enjoy rest of the diary shows as well, my friend!

Good stuff so far. But man, that red color with those ratings really threw me off. Haha.

Oh lol, I sent you a PM redarging you suggestion. Hope to see that soon. I will change the color according to your suggestion. Thank you very much Hollywood.

Like it! Stick to the diary

Who will be the challenger for Hiroshi Tanahashi's IWGP Heavyweight Championship? oh man.. 2009.. Brock Lesnar:D:D:D

Thank you very much Dream~!, hope to see more comments from you. Hope you will like more shows.

Lol "Dream~!" come true lol.

~Some Notes:

 IPW:UK have made a contract offer to Fregal Devitt, known as Prince Devitt in NJPW. It seems to a pay per appearance contract, they are wishing to give in about $1,800 per appearance, which is quite good in my opinion. If Devitt signs the contract he can used for 3 years. Only Devitt knows to answer, I'm not pushing him to accept it, but this can be a set up for a IPW:UK and NJPW relationship. Only time will tell.

WWE have increased their Broadcast Quality to HDTV, which is a good sign to improve in this business in terms of Broadcasting. WWE might also be extending their TV network deals this month. TNA and WWE seems to be extending their TV deals. The deals have reached agreement with both promotions.

Tie Breaker:

Who will win Block A?

Who will win Block B?

I hope this did some good. Need some suggestions from experts though about the show. I hope it was decent. Thanks for reading! and Stay tuned!

(Block A) Manabu Nakanishi is in a bad mood having lost to Tomohiro Ishii and Masato Tanaka last night. He seems to win here, gaining 2 points at least to have some prestige. Yuji Nagata & Manabu Nakanishi are no strangers to each other, having fought each other countless times. Wataru Inoue & Takao Omori are Junior Heavyweight here. Yuji and Manabu starts in the most traditional way of Japanese wrestling. Yuji seems to go for the back, while Manabu tries to wear the head down. They get into a striking exchange, until the Junior Heavyweights get the shining. Wataru Inoue a former IWGP heavyweight champion, gets the upper-hand here after taking Omori to the ground. Manabu and Wataru clashes, with Manabu getting in some power moves and trying to knocking Wataru out. Wataru gets the hot tag to Yuji Nagata and Yuji hits a running “Wheel Kick”.

(Block B) There were some tension between the “Apollo 55” members, especially after their last night's match between “Gedo & Jado”. Gedo & Jado clearly out-smarted Ryusuke Taguchi. The tension occurred when Devitt was clearly frustrated as Ryusuke couldn’t win against the veterans. The humiliation came for the current IWGP Jr Tag team champions. If they can win again one of the best of New Japan Veteran “Masahiro Chono” and this former stablemate from the “Team 2000” AKIRA, they can prove the fans wrong and show that their loss was just a fluke. Devitt clearly is in a serious mood, he runs at the ring of the bell and throws punches carelessly. Masahiro Chono snaps Devitt to the ground and the chin-lock connects. Devitt gets a tag to Ryusuke Taguchi, as they both hits double team “Elbow-Senton” on AKIRA. Devitt tells Rysuke to be careful out there and not lose again. Ryusuke works on the legs trying to weaken them. Rysuke and Devitt keeps short tags between them, strategy is set, but still can they win against “Masahiro Chono”? Ryusuke counters Chono’s offense with a “Gedo Clutch II” mocking “Gedo & Jado” to whom they lost to. Chono and AKIRA double teams on their opponents, but unsuccessfully gets countered with ‘Double Team Double Enzuiri” from Devitt & Ryusuke. Devitt tells Ryusuke to take care of Chono and lure him outside, which was successful. AKIRA tried to do something about it, but Devitt cuts off AKIRA with the “Bloody Sunday”. ~Apollo 55 (Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi) gains 2 points in Block B.

Shinsuke tells him if he can show a good performance tonight, then he can join his stable. They all began with handshakes. Okada and Yano tries to wrestle, with Okada gaining the upper hand and slaming Yano onto the mat. Yano goes for the tricks again, but Okada counters with a neckbreaker. Okada shows Nakamura his improvements, to which Nakamura takes notice. Nakamura tells Yano to tag him in, as he will wrestle Okada now. Nakamura and Okada wrestles, as Okada counters Nakamura with a Flapjack. Okada again locks in the Chinlock, but Nakamura counters into the Chinlock himself in an amazing fashion. Okada somehow reaches the ropes, but Nakamura slaps Okada. Which eventually fires up Okada. Okada whips Nakamura into the ropes, gets countered into a Irish whip himself, and finally Okada hits his first ever “Dropkick” on Nakamura, which looked amazing. Nakamura is impressed with Okada. Okada tags in Goto, as both Nakamura and Goto tries to wrestle each other, with Nakamura hitting the “German Suplex” and follows up with the “Springboard Moonsault”.

Bernard hits quite a good offense on Makabe and whips him into the ropes for a lariat. Makabe ducks and fires right back at Bernard. Makabe tells Bernard to “**** off” before Irish whipping him into the “Spear”. Makabe tags in Honma and double teams on Bernard. Karl Anderson is screaming from the other side in anger. Makabe knocks off Anderson from the apron, before working on Bernard again. Bernard eventually fires back and counters Makabe. Bernard hits “Sitout Powerbomb” and Honma breaks the count. Honma gets tagged in and charges on Anderson, who also got tagged in at the same time.

The G-1 tag league started with mostly with normal matches, but soon it was turned around. There were many events that took place between the Tag league. Most notably Okada joining Nakamura’s faction “RISE”. Nakamura was impressed by Okada showcase and accepted his request. Okada is a rookie, which is something quite interesting to how he is showing himself, which is like an “Rising One”. ~Lets talk about the teams which participated in the tournament. From Block A Manabu Nakanishi & Takao Omori scored a 0. Which is really something that was not accepted. Omori was the main reason to which there are many loses. Nakanishi was too frustrated with their performance and thus he lost at the final round against “Okada & Goto”. They are the only one to score a 0 in this tournament. ~Masato Tanaka & Tomohiro Ishii was one of great highlight in the tournament. Everyone thought this time they would take the “G-1 Tag League”, but soon it was all gone down, since they lost is to “Shinsuke Nakamura & Toru Yano”. The final match itself was legendary, with all the passion involved to prove themselves to everyone, and Shinsuke’s chance to gain his momentum back. ~Yuji Nagata & Wataru Inoue did their best to be the middle track with decent points, to not embarrass themselves. They did very good showcasing of themselves. Hirooki Goto & Kazuchika Okada also did not embarrass themselves, Okada also showed to why he can be someone great. Hirooki Goto still has his way to the top. ~From the Block B we have “Apollo 55” Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi, tension heated between themselves. Nobody is sure to where this will lead. The tension grew due to losing to “Gedo & Jado” quite humiliating way, “Apollo 55” the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champions should have won there, but this was clearly an upset. Gedo & Jado did their showing in the tournament, but lost in the finalist decision’s match against Masahiro Chono & AKIRA.
