ICYMI, Steven and I pretty much tackled all the the top stories in New Japan including every angle about the good and bad for Callum Newman and the IWGP direction. Check it out on the @fightgamemedia.com YouTube and let me know what YOU think! #njpw #bosj33 #njsg #njdontaku
Will Ospreay returns to #NJPW Sakura Genesis 2026
creates a thunderous pop drumming through the crowd
#njSG #NJPWWORLD #AEW
Catching up on Sakura Genesis. And man, there's been some incredible matches on this show. #NJPW has done a great job finally committing to elevating their next generation of top stars. That said, I don't see what Gedo does in Caleb Newman. Dude gives local talent getting squashed on Collision #njSG
i'm finally watching sakura genesis to stave off the doom and imma need jake lee and his fuck ass clown mask to not haunt my dreams

Congrats to Callum Newman (23 y/o) who had just become IWGP Heavyweight Champion! I am v v interested to see where things will go from Sakura Genesis onwards.

Ok I know that Callum Newman is not everyone's cup of tea, but how could I not like him after 20 mins of HIGH SPEED heavyweight fun? That schoolboy to lariat is very very puro-coded too!

OUR FAVOURITE PRESIDENT HIROSHI TANAHASHI is here (let's be honest, our shoot president/s are shit rn)
NOTES: UE brought out the whole faction but Tsuji only chose Nagai as his second‽‽‽? IS THIS (work) HUBRIS?
#njSG 🤼♂️
Yuya Uemura has Ace written all over him more than Yota Tsuji #njsg #NJPW #wrestlesky
Callum Newman has been a slow burn for me. I think he's great in-ring. Let's see how he fares here post NJ CUP!
NOTES: Poor Ospreay, everyone but him are cognizant of his faction's impending betrayal.
