A lot has changed in New Japan recently with the retirement of Hiroshi Tanahashi, the pending retirement of Tiger Mask 4 and more, but one thing has not…Yuji Nagata is still the self-proclaimed oldest member at 57 years old, and he’ll do his best today as well for his latest hometown event, BLUE JUSTICE 17. With the promotion’s first visit this year to Chiba Prefecture, Nagata gets to once again put on his own event with Nagata of course part of the main event but otherwise the event looks to be like a regular house show event, hopefully another successful one for Nagata.
Today’s event will be held at Sakura Civic Gym in Chiba and can be watched LIVE on New Japan World in Japanese. There are 7 matches and with a regular house show plan the running time will not go past 3 hours, I’d anticipate between 2-2 1/2 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Zane Jay & Tiger Mask vs. Kosei Fujita & Robbie Eagles
Katsuya Murashima, Master Wato & Yoh vs. Daiki Nagai, OSKAR (The Grouch) & Yuto Ice (Ice Baby)
