CHrONO STREAM

[naterob2003]

The card is looking pretty good. Only a few matches have been booked but those matches are pretty exciting.

Tanahashi vs. Sasaki V1 Defense of IWGP Title
Chono and x (unknown) vs. Nagata and Tenzan
Shibata vs. Kawada
Naruse and Nagai vs. O-100 (Tenryu and Fuchi) V4 Defense of All Asia Tag
Taiji Ishimori and Tiger Mask vs. Jado and Gedo Defense of IWGP jr tag

Again, overall the show is looking quite good and one would think that both Mutoh and Hashimoto will make an appearance or something.

This card like the 10/9 show sounds good on paper. Let's just hope there is not another rip off main event. I know it is early, but I'd say put the title on Tanahashi. They need the title on a true NJ wrestler. I doubt "X" will be Mutoh or Hashimoto, but they need to make some kind of appearance. Kawada will beat Shibata, but Shibata will put up a good fight making a rematch for the 3-crown in the future.

[Luds]

Let X be Mutoh, and Let Tanahashi & Sasaki wrestle a hell of a match. I'd say Tanahashi's time has come.

[naterob2003]

Completley agree guys. Sasaki can't hold on to the title. Oh and it hurts me to say this but no tanahashi championship win. Its TOO early. The guy needs to put a G1 win behind him before he wins the gold. They rushed nakamura and he got nowhere, dont do the same with tanahashi (the saving grace of puroresu). How about this... chono and muto vs. nagata and tenzan. Nagata turns on tenzan and then muto comes back in to save him. Dreaming? maybe. Great idea? Of course...

[edgehead1984]

This does look like a good card...Kawada vs. Shibata should be good, with a lot of kicks...

[Pheonix_Chi25]

I think Nagata might leave for NOAH. He has been getting shafted in New Japan. But if he turns heel, I'd see that. Nagata turns on Tenzan, Mutoh saves Tenzan.

[Haiku Warrior]

(You're right Edgehead) Kawada & Shibata will be a kick-fest.

I don't think it's too early for Tanahashi. They guy did great in the G1. You don't have to win the G1 to be champion. I think Sasaki will win but if Tanahashi does it will be fine. Have you seen him wrestle lately? He's been on fire ever since he and Nagata won the GHC Tag.

[naturalbornmaster]

It would be great to see Chono team with Mutoh. Just work it this way. In the match, Chono keeps cheating, having interference from CTU. Mutoh is annoyed by this because he wants to win fairly. And on the other side, Nagata is being a liittle bit too violent and cheating as well. Eventually, both Mutoh and Tenzan try to stop their partners and both get attacked. Nagata joins up with Chono and CTU to maul Mutoh and Tenzan. A main event(Mutoh/Tenzan vs. Nagata/Chono) is set for a future card. It would also promise more Mutoh in NJ appearances which is always good. And after that, Mutoh can face Tanahashi at Wrestling World 2005.

Shibata vs. Kawada is gonna be good... Kawada will win for sure and if they have a future Rematch for the Triple Crown... Kawada will win again... Tanahashi could be Sasaki, but it's just clearly to early for Sasaki to drop the Title, seriously, if Sasaki drops the Title it will be the worst Title Reign ever...

[Haiku Warrior]

Kawada has a Triple Crown match on Halloween. Because of Chono Stream being held on 11/3 they might not be promoting this as a title match to protect the 10/31 card. This could still be a Triple Crown title defense.

Agreed if Sasaki loses it will be the worst reign ever but not the worst thing that could happen (I still think he will make a successful v1).

[edgehead1984]

I agree, I would like to see Tanahishi win, but Sasaki needs to have a successful V1...I would like to see Ishimori & TM IV win the Jr. Tag straps...

[Luds]

Who knows, maybe Sasaki will defeat Tanahashi and then lose the strap to the returning Bob Sapp

[Haiku Warrior]

That would just make Inoki's day wouldn't it?

TM & Ishimori wouldn't be a bad as champions. It would give a new picture to the same old Jado & Gedo-heel reign. Also with Ultimo returning to to the states it would give a new face for Ishimori & a new direction with the company (even though he is a freelancer I think NJ likes him, I think the fans do).

[edgehead1984]

Ishimori's been over with the fans...Another young junior wouldn't hurt NJ...

[Sliced Bread #2]

Ishi & TM would be great Jr. Tag Team Champs and it would also be good just so then Ishi & TM could be able to feud with maybe MinoTana & maybe Liger now that Mino is with CTU.

Only way Sasaki's IWGP Heavyweight Title Reign can get anyworse than just droping it on his 1st defense would be Sasaki droping in like 2-5 minutes.
