The opening match of Wrestle Kingdom 11 will see Tiger Mask W take on Tiger the Dark in an anime battle come to life. Tiger Mask W is none other than Kota Ibushi, whereas Tiger the Dark is standout American wrestler ACH. We can expect a high octane thriller that gets the crowd warmed up, but the fact that Ibushi is guaranteed to be at the Dome is more important than this match.

Circumstances have gotten in the way of a Kenny Omega/Kota Ibushi feud so far, but when (not if) it happens it could well be the hottest feud in professional wrestling. The former tag partners hinted at a big feud way back in April 2015, when Omega distracted Ibushi long enough to allow AJ Styles to take advantage and retain the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.

Omega coming out on top of the main event only to immediately be challenged to a title match by Ibushi would essentially be giving NJPW a licence to print money. It would be an electric way to end an electric evening, and regardless of whether or not any of these 10 things happen you can be sure that Wrestle Kingdom 11 is going to be an incredible show.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
