INTERMISSION FOR LIVE CROWD
NJPW STRONG Taping:
BLAKE CHRISTIAN VS. JONAH
Blake Christian will face JONAH in Dallas. Since returning to NJPW STRONG, Blake Christian has found himself in high profile spots against established names in BULLET CLUB’s Chris Bey, before SW3RVE in Florida and now JONAH. Christian is a high risk performer, and this is a high risk, high reward position indeed for ‘All Heart’. With JONAH a seemingly unstoppable wrecking ball, can Christian knock the Top Dog off his perch?
ALEX COUGHLIN/FRED ROSSER/THE DKC VS. TEAM FILTHY (‘FILTHY’ TOM LAWLOR, JR KRATOS & ROYCE ISAACS)
Six man action will see Team Filthy’s Tom Lawlor, JR Kratos and Royce Isaacs take on Fred Rosser, the DKC and Alex Coughlin. Rosser and Lawlor’s rivalry has seen them to two consecutive match of the year honours on STRONG, and continues in six man action in Texas. Meanwhile, after Coughlin delivered a huge loss to JR Kratos months ago in Hollywood, the Most feared is hungry for revenge against the LA Dojo’s graduated former Young Lion. What happens at Lonestar Shootout?
