2. Until I see anything from NJPW about this, I’m assuming it’s just that MLW will be booking NJPW talent like most other notable North American indy companies have been doing.

   Entering a real partnership with the company that’s actively suing WWE would be a bold and probably not wise move on NJPW’s part. But they’ve made some goofy decisions lately so I wouldn’t put it past them.

3. I mean… Samoan Swat Team X GOD. Sort out that Ancient Tonga vs Samoa beef once and for all.

4. This could be great for MLW, honestly. I love them but they’ve been dropping/losing talent fast and furious this year. It’s been a hard watch for a lot of the past 18 months or so.

5. NJPW will take over the world

6. Old Mancer vs the world, baby. Gonna hit that pay windah.

7. Wasn’t Rocky already popping up on Fusion every so often anyway? Seems like MLW might just be bringing some NJPW names in for a Philly show.

   EDIT: Looked at the MLW Fury Road 2023 card. KUSHIDA’s making his Promotional Debut against ROH’s Tony Deppen on September 3rd in Philly!

8. NJPW seems to be earning this reputation as the one promotion everyone wants to work with in some capacity.

   Unless you’re WWE (or AAA).

9. If this gets us closer to Jacob Fatu in NJPW I’m all for it.

10. AKIRA hitting Tana with a light tube is gonna be dope

11. I want Alex Hammerstone aka “The Real life Chad” facing Yota Tsuji or someone just as buffed from New Japan

12. This is a pretty classic MLW/Court Bauer tactic. I’m sure it’s just some matches, not a true partnership. They’ve announced “partnerships” before that were essentially spot shows. I’m not hating, btw. Court’s a good carny

13. Didn’t they already have a partnership? I thought that was how Tom Lawlor was able to appear on Strong.

14. Jacob Fatu vs Ishii…GIVE ME WHAT I WANT

15. I couldn’t find an emoji of the face I naturally made when I read this headline lol

16. Please bring the Billington Bulldogs (Dynamite Kid’s nephews) in for the Super Jnr Tag League.

    Get Thomas in the ring with Tiger Mask.

17. They were exchanging people anyway
