Trip to Japan 2020: Ultimate Edition

January 4, 2020

Outside Tokyo Dome

Outside of the big egg for night one of Wrestle Kingdom 14! Tokyo Dome City has many cool attractions to go with Korakuen Hall and Tokyo Dome. As January 4 fell on a Saturday there were a huge amount of people including lots of cosplayers. Many in full Liger gear!

First Ramen

First ramen in Japan! The plan was to buy tickets to the Tokyo Joshi Pro show that took place at Korakuen Hall before Wrestle Kingdom 14. Really just wanted to see the inside of Korakuen, but it would have been 5000 yen per ticket just to see the last hour and a half of the show. So we went bowling instead!

Wrestle Kingdom 14 night one! So awesome! Ibushi vs Okada is the greatest match I have ever seen live! From the first ever Wrestle Kingdom Stardom match to Liger's awesome team of elderly badasses to the main event I had so much fun. Will Ospreay vs Hiromu Takahashi was unbelievable, as was the Texas Death Match. One thing that was initially disappointing was Suzuki-gun coming out to Zack's theme but that all paid off the next night!

I'm doing it folks! But will my Japan trip continue to be awesome? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ba- I mean my next blog post!
