Minoru Suzuki's special announcement:"What are you applauding for? In 2011,myself,taichi and taka started suzuki-gun. Lance Archer soon followed,and we ran wild. It's been 11 years since of highs and lows. Taichi:you really did used to be good for nothing,and now look at you. The experience and knowledge you've gained has become so important for all of us. Lance:I first met you in an indie in shin-kiba first ring. Your first time in japan and I was the first japanese guy you ever faced. Now and forever you are a brother to me. Desperado:you aren't just some thug. You're one of the aces of the junior heavyweight division in njpw. Kanemaru:whether you're lined up next to us or supporting from behind, there is nobody more dependable than you are in the ring. Douki:there's a lot of heel shtick abut dragging yourself up through dirt floors,being out through hell. He lived it for real. That's strength. And Zack:you're not here today,but I am s glad that I went to england and brought you into suzuki-gun. Someday soon,let's lock up,take an arm,take a leg,and beat the piss out of each other again. Since this group was born,you've booed us,harassed us,called us shit,told us to die. Sometimes thrown trash at us,and now look. You really love us. So it's time to say it. In 2023 it's a new voyage for suzuki-gun. Each member will be taking their own paths. At the end of this year,suzuki-gun will disband."

[NYD HIGHLIGHTS] After HOT win, they beatdown Narita until SUZUKI & EL DESPERADO made save. Kanemaru/Taichi/Douki/Taka are now named "just four guys".(I know its overly simplistic so you figure it out) TMDK officially became faction after adding young lion Kosei Fujita. White issued roster spot challenge to Hikuleo?! Takagi issued title challenge to Okada.

[Exhibition]5/10 future lions. [KOW Rumble]7/10 united bullet tortures. [Inoki Memorial]7/10 iconic tributes. [Jr Tag Title]8/10 catching points. [Womens Title]6/10 stardom spirits. [Tag Title]7/10 big bishamon rigs. [TV Title Tournament Final]7/10 british strong styles. [Never Title]7/10 gun stuns. [Muto Retirement Tour]7/10 shining wizards. [Jr Title]8/10 bone master explosions. [US Title]9/10 elite kingpins. [World Title]9/10 money clip switches.
[Puroresu Paradox] English color team was chris charlton, gino gambino(no relation to donald glover persona)and kevin kelly who made surprisingly sarcastic pwi comment.(who i'm sure he wouldn't easily dismiss any type of award from them) Boltin/Oiwa did what they could only having 3 minutes. HOT,BC & UE took turns using teamwork during ranbo rumble while ex member hikuleo was overall standout.(where was ranbo vet/birthday boy fale?) Perkins/Akira team was extremely impressive over not-so-surprisingly compatible chaos combo.(rush's LED runway problem solver was extreme highlight) New womens division(and impressive looking strap)is in solid hands with "pirate princess" kairi so i'll be keeping extra close watch there.(newly reinvented mercedes mone was fashion standout especially by bam-bam like hairdo) Yashi and Goto made first tag team nomination statement while dax & ca$h start over after dropping last two belts. Sabre proved by winning first singles strap in 21/2+ years(& tmdk group)how easily versatile he is while "strong style son" narita confirmed potential over last year.(sabre's bow to shibata was classy surprise) Tonga completed singles star reinvention over bc founder anderson in very rough contest.(apprantly there's a third new faction with tonga and jedo) Iconic legend Muto celebrated career in grand style between time-defying physicality, solid partners and LIJ multi masks!("roughneck" umino was is another star to watch for) regarding jr title four corner survival I'm unclear if half-most of them held back technically, lacked emotion or something else but overall it didn't end as the excellent showstealers of 2018 & 2021. First MOYC omega/opsreay checked every top level box one would expect from a first time special attraction!(ospreay recycling aireal assassin was equally sound strategy as well as omega compliment) Second MOYC white/okada story was equally fulfilling while less overly predictable knowing their considerable history.(okada reflecting inoki's soul against white's desperate emotion made for highly compelling rollercoaster) THANK YOU MR INOKI! Grade A
