That's a massive coup for NJPW. He'll only thrive there as Ospreay is fucking awesome. After watching BOLA 2015 from PWG, he was the start IMO of that tournament.
Plus TNA seems to be pissed because he worked for them tonight in the UK and they had no idea he signed with New Japan.
Also Nakamura's final show for NJPW is tonight at Korakuen Hall. So I'm definitely watching that in the morning.

That was a pretty cool final show for Nakamura.
He is unquestionably the man.

Granted, I didn't understand a damn word, but the video package about Nakamura's history in New Japan was amazing.
The match was exactly what you'd expect & I liked that Nakamura hit the Bomaye & allowed Ishii to get the pin on Shibata.
Kenny Omega's interruption post match was fantastic. Saying Nakamura is scared of him, only for Tanahashi to step in. Loved it, that feud should be awesome, hoping Tanahashi doesn't do more damage to his shoulder.
Nakamura, totally agree, the way he went out was a class act.

I've never really watched NJPW even though I think I get it on one of my cable stations. Does this cat speak fluent english? I am assuming he does but since I have never watched him in anything other than your gif's i have no idea.

Oh & I want that Best In The World//Shinsuke Nakamura shirt everyone was rocking. Everyone in CHAOS in the ring celebrating, with Nakamura & Okada breaking down crying was a pretty awesome moment.

If you have the time, can't recommend checking out his stuff on YouTube or mainly Dailymotion (where you can get a lot of them). Yes the quality of this video is low, but I found AJ Styles vs Nakamura from this past Wrestle Kingdom. Watch it, it's fantastic.

Watched it again tonight, this time with the sound on.
Even the announcers were getting choked up.
And the fans had tears in their eyes.

Welp, that didn't take long.
I'll check out The New Beginning in Niigata either later tonight or tomorrow. Read that Tanahashi/Omega went nearly 30 minutes, so I'm assuming to was pretty darn good.

Not surprising seeing as he & Tama Tonga are brothers. I thought they were teasing a Tonga split from the Bullet Club for a while. Guess with AJ, Gallows & Machine Gun leaving, they needed to keep members in the group other than leave it.

Agreed.
Also there's a new video of Omega & The Bucks calling out The New Day.

I'm not at the level many of you are with New Japan, but I really like what I've seen from him. |

He's good but has been pretty bland as a babyface.
I figured he'd come back with a new attitude, much like Naito did.

Here's more tweets from @enuhito_eng on Twitter.....
Kota Ibushi will launch New organization called "Ibushi Prowrestling Research Institute".
Ibushi will leave both NJPW & DDT. It is because it is really tough both physically and mentally for him to wrestle two companies.
Ibushi will return to the ring on March 21st at DDT Ryogoku show as IWRI guy. He will be free man to spread prowrestling as member of IWRI
Ibushi said he wants to do something new. He wants to pursue a new style. He is the only member of "Ibushi Wrestling Research Institute".

Seen a lot of comments and statements from Ibushi lately and I'm near certain he's lost his damn fool mind.
