Bit strange the match only went on 10 minutes, makes Lesnar look abit weak, still good to see Angle with two belts.

I am sure they just wanted to make sure Brock dropped the belt and leave Japan. Even though I thought Brock wasn't the actual IWGP Champion and he just never gave the belt back like Lawler did with the AWA Championship.

Inoki is the best kind of booker for Angle. Angle has been talking about MMA forever, and Inoki is the master of worked shoots.

Okay, to clear things up. Kurt Angle is NOT the IWGP champion. That is not the official IWGP belt. Brock was the IWGP champ, didn't want to drop the belt, so screwed over New Japan and left, and stole the belt. New Japan owns both the IWGP title, IWGP championship, etc. THis card had nothing to do with New Japan. Yuji Nagata is the IWGP champion. Kurt Angle is not. He just has the 3rd gen IWGP belt that Brock stole.

That IWGP Title and TNA Title look really similar. Now we know who TNA ripped their design off of.

New Japan doesn't own the rights to IWGP or anything? People can just go around stealing their belts and defending them on their own?

Well I guess there's one POSITIVE to the WWE trademarking stuff, think if they didn't trademark their own god damn belts.

It was reported that NJPW owed Brock money, so he kept the belt. The same thing happened with Lawler and AWA.

I think though, if the WWE owed Edge money, he still couldn't just take the belt and show up on Impact and lose it to Christian or Rhino or somebody. Edge and TNA would get sued off the planet. Japan must have a different take on that kind of thing legally, where if somebody violates terms of an agreement, you can then violate the terms of agreement as you please.

They would have violated the agreement first by not paying. Also, it takes a lot of balls to take a WWE Title belt. Japan might have different laws, but this has happened before in wrestling.

Exactly. I mean, he basically shit on their contract and didn't even make his last appearance. It wouldn't surprise me if the "money owed" Brock mentions is for his last appearance, which he didn't make.

NJPW does own the IWGP belt, and then name. They are threatening to sue. So far, there has been no truth to the claim that NJPW owed Brock money. IN fact, the main person saying that was Brock Lesnar. It's hard to trust the guy who screwed over the company and wouldn't show because he was suppose to drop the belt. It'll be interesting to see what happens here now. Some people think that if They bring up the IWGP title on TNA TV, that it may be a work. Others thing that Angle may go to NJPW and wrestle Nagata, since TNA and NJPW had a working agreement not long ago. To clarify though, Angle is not the IWGP champion. NJpW owns all rights to the title and the belt. Brock was not the rightful owner of the belt, and there is no proof that NJPW owed Brock money.

BTW, the consensus coming out of this show is that it was fucking horrible. Also, the actual in ring time was 61 minutes.

Actually, the former owner of NJPW owns the belt, and recognized Brock as the Champ, giving him back the belt. The Brock/Angle match was thus offical and Kurt Angle is the IWGP Champion.

Incorrect. NJPW owns the belt. Antonio Inoki has had nothing to do with NJPW for a bit, his brother, SImon Inoki, recently left/was removed from the company ( he left before they could remove him.) The irony is, the actual belt that Brock had, is a belt that was made AFTER Antonio Inoki was done with the company. Antonio Inoki has no claim to that belt, any IWGP belt, or the title. NJPW has claims to all of them. This is the same logic as saying if WWE release Paul Heyman, and then Johnny Nitro quits WWE and steals the belt, Paul Heyman can book him ona show, as the ECW champion, and have him defend the belt, claiming it's an ECW title match. Paul Heyman used to own ECW, but has no claim to it now. Just like Antonio Inoki.

Ight, just stating what I heard but was under the notion that it worked differently there than it does here for WWE. When WWE bought ECW, they bought all rights and trademarks. With NJPW, I heard only 51% of the company was purchase, and in another article read that Antonio Inoki still held ownership of the belt. I could have read the wrong information though.

When Yukes bought the 51%, they bought out INoki's share in the company. Yukes purchased Antonio Inoki's majority stock and the companies images. The remaining 49% are other shareholders, none of which is Inoki.

Brock seems to have all the talent you could ask for but no decency.

And the guy has passed several steroid tests in several organizations.

Antonio Inoki is pretty clever for doing this, if you ask me. Does he have any right to the belt? Apparently not, legally, as New Japan are planning to sue, but Japan is a really different wrestling culture. They put their results in the newspapers, release magazines listing what is going on in wrestling all over the world. This is scandal, and regardless of whether or not Antonio Inoki owns the belt, the fact is he has it, and he put it on Kurt Angle during his show.

They will no doubt be forced to change the name to the IGF World Heavyweight Championship, or something, but until then, there is some dispute, and it will no doubt get Japanese fans buzzing about the promotion. If Kurt Angle takes the belt with him to TNA, it could be a great thing for both TNA and the IGF. Have Angle defend the IGF World Title in TNA, and have him defend the TNA World Title in the IGF, and you have the fan bases getting more interested in the other.

It's all just publicity, and Inoki is just doing what he can to get noticed in an already oversaturated Japanese market. I mean, they have New Japan, All Japan, Pro Wrestling NOAH and even Dragon Gate over there.

Who knows. Angle did say he wants to go to NJPW and defend that belt, and have a unification match with Yuji Nagata.. I'd pay to see that.


Also, Alienoid, your idea works, but technically, they can't use the belt either, as it is the IWGP belt, and NJPW's property. Anyway, Inoki is going to need all the press interest he can get, because apparently the show was the suck.
