New TNA Logo Note (Photo), Is Kenny Omega On NJPW "New Beginning" Cards?, Suzuki-gun
- As seen above, Suzuki-gun made a statement after they returned at NJPW's New Years Dash. This video has English subtitles, thanks to a moderator from Reddit's NJPW section, who used Chris Charlton's translations. Charlton has a long history of translating NJPW promos for its fans overseas.
A couple members spoke, saying they are coming after the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team and IWGP Tag Team Titles. Minoru Suzuki then said, "Chaos, Bullet Club, and Los Ingobernables, there's only one group of kings in professional wrestling. And it's us. And everything. Every single thing that you have? We're going to take."
