NJPW: Invasion Attack
April 5, 2015
Tokyo, Japan
Ryogoku Sumo Hall
The current IWGP champs are as follows:
IWGP Heavyweight Champion: AJ Styles (2/11/2015)
IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion: Kenny Omega (1/4/2015)
IWGP Tag Team Champions: Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson (2/11/2015)
IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champions: The Young Bucks (2/11/2015)
IWGP Intercontinental Champion: Shinsuke Nakamura (9/21/2014)
NEVER Openweight Champion: Tomohiro Ishii (2/14/2015)
The Bullet Club has gone FULL 1997 nWo-style on the championships in New Japan. Tonight, all four of their championships are on the line. New Japan Cup winner Kota Ibushi meets IWGP Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles in the main event, Kenny Omega defends his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight crown against Mascara Dorada, Rocky Romero and Baretta take on the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Champs the Young Bucks, and Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson battle over the IWGP tag belts with the Kingdom from Ring of Honor. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES FOR CHANGE.
NOTE: If you’re looking for a hardcore puroresu fan perspective for this show, unfortunately you’ve come to the wrong place. I am at best a casual fan of New Japan, but the World Pro Wrestling show on AXS is peaking my interest in what they are capable of doing, so that’s why this recap is happening. That being said, I will do my best to not assume anything or hopefully make you roll your eyes at my ignorance as I hope that doesn’t show through all too much.

In a RARE instance, I do not own a copy of this PPV. Some matches I couldn’t find on YouTube, so I’ll be skipping those. Luckily, those matches I missed weren’t super interesting. Here is what you and I missed:

Earlier today while Don West was waiting outside for Raven to come to work, Samoa Joe walks by with his blood soaked towel and AJ written on his taped fist. Don wants to know why he’s here (since he’s not booked), but Joe says nothing and walks away. Hey look, it’s Bobby Heenan! Why is he here? It’s Spike TV! It’s iMPACT! Some baseball players from the world champion Chicago White Sox will be here (next Thursday night?), and he’s a Chicago kind of guy. Why is he even talking to Don West? Bobby walks off to do something else. I can’t understand what he says though. Guess it was just a punchline and doesn’t really matter.

Footage of last Sunday night’s Genesis PPV is shown. CHRISTIAN CAGE DEBUTED. Abyss and Sabu battled with barbed wire. Kip James dressed in totally inappropriate Shawn Michaels referee gear called the 3LK/Team Canada fair and square. Samoa Joe ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED Christopher Daniels after the Elimination X match – blood and everything as AJ Styles watched on. Plus, Christian Cage totally duped Team Canada and helped Team 3D defeat Planet Jarrett with a 3D through a table on Jarrett. If I get a copy of that show, I’ll be glad to do a recap because it’s a GREAT PPV if I remember correctly.
Your hosts are Mike Tenay and Don West.
