No Dome Show
It looks like NOAH isn't going to run a Tokyo Dome show this year.
I guess it makes sense. No point in trying to run a house show style card at the Tokyo Dome. If you can't present at least three dream matches, it would never sell. Crappy attendences at the Tokyo Dome leave your company image in the dumpster. Look at New Japan. If you can't get the big dream matches that will capture the excitement of the fans enough to draw them in to the overpriced Dome, just run a Budokon show I suppose.
The show would likely have been main evented by Jun Akiyama vs Kenta Kobashi or Kensuke Sasaki. While good matches, there wouldn't have been enough under that one match to captivate the crowd. Misawa vs Kobashi? Not yet. Bring in someone from NJPW or AJPW? Nobody worth it. Major indy wrestler? Maybe, but scheduling conflicts prevent the big boys from showing.
While it sucks that NOAH won't have the most attended wrestling event in the world this year, they'll still put something good on. The Budokon card is sure to be just as good as a Tokyo Dome card, just with lesser names. Just keep Akiyama vs Sasaki for the main event. As long as KENTA, Marufuji, Misawa, Kobashi and Taue have good match ups it'll be a certain sell out.
Deputy Trudy Wiegel: Raineesha Williams is a loudmouth, backstabbing, Jew. I wanna say Jew but I think she's in fact very openly Catholic, which I have a problem with, too.
