Glad Kenta looks like he’s in shape based on seeing one of his recent matches. He looked like a total loser in the WWE booking wise, and I’ll never forget his laughable main roster debut, sprinting down to the ring and his belly was shaking uncontrollably.

Jay White specifically mentioned the "fake Bullet Club reunion" or something to that effect the other night. Didn't think much of it until now. I definitely hope this means that NJPW & AEW have put whatever their differences were aside, and we're gonna start getting some amazing crossover matchups.

That was a Rock-esque overreaction
.Kenta needs a different finisher for guys that are twice his size. Moxley had to bend down just to sell the knee

I had just listened to this podcast yesterday morning so when I woke up today and saw what happened I instantly thought of this.

NJPW has EVERYTHING to gain. I see they finally realized nobody has given a damn about them since the "Elite" dudes have left. (COvid hasn't helped either).
2 Years ago, NJPW was on fire. Now, who cares about them?
Win-Win.
It is good to see the "underdogs" team up as well. That is how wrestling should be.

On Thursday, New Japan Pro Wrestling announced a TV deal with The Roku Channel in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada for a weekly one-hour television show.
New Japan Pro Wrestling will debut on The Roku Channel on Thursday, February 11 at 5 p.m. Eastern time and the show will be available on demand each week after the initial airing. The channel will also have on demand footage of New Japan historical content, including some of the major matches of 2020.
The deal, completed in December, brings New Japan back to weekly television after they were canceled at the end of 2019 by AXS TV after a series of successful years, as part of the fallout of the sale of the station by Mark Cuban to Anthem Entertainment, the parent company of Impact Wrestling.
"Expanding the breadth and quality of our programming has fueled The Roku Channel to one of the largest and fastest growing channels on our platform," said Ashley Hovey, Director of AVOD Growth, Roku. "Sports programming continues to be an important category for our users, and we are very excited to partner with NJPW to put the world of professional wrestling at the fingertips of millions of engaged users on The Roku Channel."
"Our fans in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom are among our most loyal, and they have been very clear that they want NJPW's content made available to them," said Takami Ohbari, President of NJPW. "NJPW is unlike any other pro-wrestling in the world. It is the most athletic, sports-oriented pro-wrestling on the planet, and we are excited to bring our athletes and matches to these markets in such a major way. Thank you to The Roku Channel, and we look forward to a successful partnership that brings NJPW to millions of new fans around the world."
The show will air weekly footage from major arenas in Japan.
The news comes days after a talent trading partnership between New Japan and AEW opened up nearly 25 months after the first attempt to work together in January 2019. The first examples of that partnership will be on February 10 with a Kenny Omega & KENTA vs. Jon Moxley & Lance Archer main event on AEW Dynamite. Another example will be on February 26 with Moxley vs. KENTA for NJPW's IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship airing on New Japan Strong.
