New Japan’s New Year Dash show is comparable to The WWE’s Raw after WrestleMania. NJPW is coming off of their biggest annual show in WrestleKingdom 11 at The Tokyo Dome. This event sets the stage for the upcoming year. The argument can be made that New Japan has never been stronger worldwide than it is today. The company has expanded it’s global reach and has more fans in America, than it has ever had. As a result of their working agreement with Ring of Honor, CMLL in Mexico and the continued success of New Japan World and social media.

This year’s post WrestleKingdom show produced some returns and changes, and here are the results of last night’s show.

Ricochet, Kyle O’Reilly & David Finlay defeated Jushin Thunder Liger, Tiger Mask & Henare in 6:16 when Finlay pinned Henare.

– Good opener that showcases three of the best young talents on the planet in Ricochet, O’Reilly and Finlay. Finlay actually went into the crowd and hugged his mon after the match.

Yujiro Takahashi & Hangman Page defeated Billy Gunn & Yoshi-Tatsu in 6:39 when Hangman hit the Rite of Passage on Tatsu.

– Not much to this match. The Bullet Club Hunters in Gunn and Tatsu get beat here. Gunn looks pretty good for a 53 year old.

Yoshi-Hashi & Roppongi Vice defeated Adam Cole & The Young Bucks in 9:59 when Hashi pinned Cole with a small package.

– Big story here is the now 3 time ROH world champ being pinned by Hashi. The Bucks and Cole attacked Yoshi-Hashi after the match and laid him out. Which should set up a Cole-Hashi match for The ROH Championship down the line.
