NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING (NJPW) PRESENTS Royal Quest 3 2023 Results & Review by Ryan Balkwill  

Promotion: New Japan Pro Wrestling, Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro)

Date: October 14, 2023

City: London England

Venue: Copper Box Arena

TV station/network: Revproondemand.com

Overall Show Score: 6/10

Pros: The setup helps makes this event feel like the biggest deal. I like seeing Special talent like Luke Jacobs being showcased in the best way. The final two matches definitely delivered and my favourite match was Shingo Takagi vs. Tomohiro Ishii instead of  Will Ospreay vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

Cons: I didn’t feel like they put together the strongest match card in my opinion. I find Royal Quest 3 to be the least entertaining and the rest of this event had a rough time getting invested into the action.
