Welcome to another Time Limit audio edition! Today’s episode is looking at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s (NJPW) The New Beginning in Osaka 2024 card. This is an incredibly newsworthy card, as it sees Will Ospreay make his final in-ring appearance before heading to AEW. He went out with a bang, fighting in a five-versus-five cage match. Today’s episode discusses:
The many names that had a big spotlight during the hour-long cage match.
The one thing that hurt Sunday’s main event.
An incredibly puzzling booking decision in NJPW’s tag team division.
How Callum Newman had one of the biggest main event spotlights, despite not even being in the main event.
The next Time Limit audio edition will come out in just under two weeks when NJPW kicks off their New Beginning in Sapporo weekend. The blog will have written content out soon to further digest Sunday’s card and look to the future. Please consider subscribing to the blog if you enjoy the work that is being published!
