OH CRAP I WANT THIS SHOW INSTANTLY. And a perverse part of me wants to see Bas vs. Koji.

- Kenzo Suzuki & Hiroshi Tanahashi v Joanie Laurer & GREAT MUTA

Poor Kings of the Hill. Couldn't NJ have squared the Crucible of Suck up against a team that isn't arguably one of the three best in the world?

NEW JAPAN - 11/03/02 - Iida Sports Center:
- Yuji Nagata & Jushin Liger v Scott Norton & American Dragon

Good jesus. All Norton has to do is STAY OUT OF THE RING. Is he really the best guy they could have possibly gotten? Is Don Frye still recovering from PRIDE or something? SO CLOSE.

Man, Jack the Bull's all OVER this tour.

Digably Yours,

Pinoy Boy seems to be off this leg of the tour. Odd. Unless I'm freaking blind.

I read on SSS the New Japan tour conflicts with Halloween and he didn't want to miss out on Trick-or-Treating.

I ask SSS chat guys Why isn't Pinoy Boy on next tour listing?

SSS chatter host Ryan respond to me <Ryan> cause he's 17 and only worked one show?

Is he really 17?

Stuart told me Foreginers (Ganiji) is limit in NJ :rolleyes:
