My thoughts on the outcome of NJPW Dominion & my prediction on some of the matches in the NJPW G1 Special in Los Angeles

Note: These contain spoilers of the New Japan Pro Wrestling Dominion show and I highly suggest you go watch it before you read this.


This is going to be very crazy, but, I had a feeling of what is going on right now as of late with watching New Japan Pro Wrestling Dominion show as I will be hopefully watching the New Japan Pro Wrestling G1 Special in Los Angeles by going on to Sling TV to open a 7 day free trial account, so at least I can watch Jim Ross call the matches with Josh Barnett especially the Kenny Omega vs. Michael Elgin in the first round of the IWGP United States Championship Tournament.

I know this is going to be very weird, but, before I focus on the G1 Special, I want to address the Dominion show. What do I think about it? Well, until the final two matches, I thought it was okay in a way, but, with KUSHIDA winning the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title was fine and The Young Bucks and Guerrillas of Destiny winning the tag titles were good and in a heel way, the two matches were standing out the most were the IWGP Intercontinental Championship that had Hiroshi Tanahashi defeated Tetsuya Naito for it, which I really wanted Tanahashi to win, due to what I saw on Twitter that from the gifs creators on twitter that Naito was disrespecting the IWGP Intercontinental Championship by damaging the title in one of the matches during the Best of the Super Juniors tournament days. The other match was the main event between Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega, which it was a rematch from the Wrestle Kingdom show, that ended up to be a time limit drawl, which I would love to see them go longer, which I will explain that later on.

When I watching the show, the IWGP Intercontinental Championship match, the comments from both Tanahashi and Naito was hard to understand, but, the video footage says it all. Naito damage the title that he disrespect it and Tanahashi wanted restore the honor of the title, since he beat Shinsuke Nakamura for it in 2014. I feel that Tanahashi was indeed the one to defeat Naito, since he confronted Naito on the final day of the Best of the Super Juniors tournament and challenge him.for the title. I never felt that I would choose someone who is outstanding as Hiroshi Tanahashi, but since Tanahashi is consider to be a legend and has been wrestling for almost 18 years, I had to go with him and as crazy as it seems, he is a rockstar to the fans. Tanahashi being the best IWGP Intercontinental Champion since the inaugural champion, MVP, who should had more title runs in WWE before he left, but didn't.

As for the main event between Kazuchika Okada against Kenny Omega, I never see two men would go far as they could with only two counts was going, the rest of the Bullet Club showing up in support for Kenny without interfering the match, Cody almost costing Kenny the match by throwing the towel, but Nick and Matt stop him, Gedo by himself watching Okada almost losing the match or almost winning the match, no sign of the rest of Chaos because Roppongi Vice were embarrassed and other members of Chaos were recovering from the beating of the gauntlet or were part of the lumberjack death match between Hirooki Goto against the leader of Suzuki-gun, Minoru Suzuki, who is the current NEVER Openweight Champion. The match ended to a drawl, but, I felt they could go for another 35 minutes or so, because I really wanted Kenny Omega to win and if they would gone for 95 minutes, they would be the longest match ever and beating the match that currently stands out there of 93 minutes of a championship match that was in IWA Mid-South between two guys who you and I know, goes by the names of CM Punk and Chris Hero. Yes, Chris Hero won the IWA Mid-South Heavyweight title in 93 minutes against CM Punk and if those two could do it, I feel Okada and Omega can for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and beat it.

But, I know that wouldn't happen, because after the match, both Okada (Who got confronted by Cody, who he's challenging him at the G1 Special in Los Angeles, as well as he is already challenging Christopher Daniels for the Ring of Honor World Championship at Best of The World) and Omega (Who said that he failed as the leader of the Bullet Club, but, The Young Bucks and the rest of the Bullet Club says that he has not failed them) really was going to pass out from the match. It was sad enough that nether man won or lost. But, they both deserve my respect as a fan that both of them really make me enjoy the match.

Now, to the G1 Special and the matches that is making me kinda worried. Kenny Omega vs. Michael Elgin. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? I am wondering who made that decision to book that match for the first round of the IWGP United States Championship Tournament? I am kinda freaking out because Elgin has already whoop Kenny and I hate Elgin for beating Tim Donst over at Absolute Intense Wrestling for the Absolute title and also beating CHRIS HERO in IWA Mid-South to challenge the champion! WHY? WHY ELGIN? Kenny has his work cutout and if HE CAN BEAT MICHAEL ELGIN, he has to face what he wanted out of Adam Page, to win the IWGP United States Championship!

As for Okada, he has his work cutout too. Because Cody, the son of WWE Hall of Famer, Dusty Rhodes, is on a title spree as he is going to be challenging Christopher Daniels for the Ring of Honor World Championship at Ring of Honor Best in the World 2017 and if Daniels lose the title and Cody does the same to Okada and Okada lose the title too, Cody will be the FACE OF BOTH RING OF HONOR AND NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING as their champion! Cody will carry two titles and he will be book on all ROH and NJPW shows! Also that would put him in the spotlight of Being the Elite YouTube series, which it could be bad in my opinion, because there will be no love for Marty Scurll or the Elite (The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega) themselves. In fact it would be Cody for the next few months until he loses both titles!

I know this is so much crazy as I said before in the beginning of this, but, that is what I am expecting the outcome it would be on night 1 of the New Japan Pro Wrestling G1 Special. Either that or the opposite of what I said. I would want Okada to retain because I want to see Okada and Omega go at it one more time with no time limit, if Omega does get eliminated in the first round of the IWGP United States Championship tournament or anywhere else in the tournament.

I hope you all understand what I am saying. Thanks for reading!
