The final New Japan show of the year was the last real stop before WrestleKingdom – and we closed out with a mash-up of the Tokyo Dome opener and main event for a hell of a match.
With WrestleKingdom getting ever closer, New Japan hit Korakuen Hall for the first of two year-end shows – and it’s a milestone for Okada, who finally got him some Gedo!
After a long, gruelling tour (to watch), the World Tag League wrapped up in Iwate as the Guerrillas of Destiny took on Los Ingobernables de Japon to decide what’d happen to those tag titles at WrestleKingdom on January 4.
The first round of World Tag League matches wrapped up as the tour rolled into Korakuen Hall.
The last major stop before WrestleKingdom, Power Struggle was a show that shone a light on the good and bad – while continuing to point us all towards the Tokyo Dome.
The penultimate live show of the Road to Power Struggle came from Korakuen Hall, as we had the birth of the New Japan Mega Powers!
After some lethargic tour stops, the Super Junior Tag League returned to Korakuen Hall – and it was back to form for the tournament!
