Taking questions for tonight’s recording of Keepin’ It Strong Style

1. Do you think Despy & Hiromu have anything left to do in the junior division? 

   I think they’ve done everything in the division. And the fact they haven’t utilized them in more Openweight matches is absurd. 

2. With WK20 selling out its initial set up. Do you think Nakamura announcement would have done the same if it wasn’t Okada announced? 

3. Who are the dark horse teams in WTL?

   do you feel that Douki is being mismanaged?

   So after Tanahashi, what’s next for New Japan?

   And to fantasy book, who would you like to see in New Japan in the near future, native or foreign?

4. Do you think we may get another multiman match at WK? 

   A ton of talent aren’t confirmed for the dome. And using a sold out WK would be a great way to showcase a ton of the Young Gen on the roster. 

5. Josh said more than once that Nakamura would’ve done better business than Okada. Does he still believe that to be the case?

6. Who do you think could leave a faction right now and create their own faction? 

   I think Oiwa should leave TMDK and build his own group.  I don’t think him being in the group has done him much for his presentation. 

7. A few questions if you’re inclined:

   1. If NJPW leans into KOB, could they be the start of a revival of the tag division? Do you think Bishamon/KOB is going to be the heart of the tag scene for a while?
   2. I think almost any fan of NJPW considers Takeshita winning at the Dome to be at least one sign of the apocalypse, but is there a way where it could be a good thing? I’m still haunted by the Super J Cast saying that one of their sources had hinted that something ‘really bad’ was coming, and I can’t think of anything worse than Takeshita winning at the Dome.
   3. Do you think Jake Lee is coming back soon? I’ve been thinking that a returning Lee could be a catalyst that breaks up/kills War Dogs, but at this point I don’t know if he even has legs.
   4. Post-WK will Goto be their biggest remaining star? If so are they wasting him by reuniting Bishamon (if that’s the long term plan)?
   5. At risk of triggering an aneurysm in one or all of you, can you figure out any kind of sense and logic to how Yuya Uemura, Shota Umino, Ren Narita and Ryohei Oiwa have been booked? (I would have included Yota Tsuji but they seem to have finally got themselves sorted… unless they’re going to pull the worst Uno Reverse)

   Have a good show!

8. Do you think the Juniors are being misused for WK? The 4-way will probably be a fub match but I don’t see why they couldn’t have just put DOUKI in the match

9. Would you rather see the ranbo or the six-man gauntlet return? YOH teased something regarding the six-man belts at the Tokyo Dome the other day

10. After WK20, do you want to see new japan bring in some new talent? 

    For me, I think the roster is a bit stale and some new talent in the mixture could really be helpful 

11. With the indies being depleted of another promotion to work. Do you think new Japan take a gamble and bring in some talents?

13. if you had to pick someone to get a omega level push from 2016 who’d you pick?

    what i mean is do a complete turn get more focus in the promotion and have a top guy record(minimum loss record but a ton of victories).
