If you’ve been following this blog for so long even after we’ve stopped posting, thanks a lot! It’s pretty cool that people didn’t unfollow even though there is perfectly good reason to do so lol. This blog isn’t back whatsoever; I just saw these photos and wanted to post them all gussied up since it’s Wrestle Kingdom weekend.

A lot’s been going on causing neglect to this blog and as of right now there are only 2 members left, so there’s really no guarantee of a resurgence. I am considering if anyone wants to help post edits, gifs, news and match cards just because I don’t want njpwdaily to close, but that’s in the future.

For now, hello and happy new year! Hope you’re enjoying Wrestle Kingdom :)
