Halloween is tomorrow. If wacky and/or scary costumes are your thing... mazel tov! Enjoy the holiday! If not, well... we’ll try to keep the posts about wrestlers playing dress up to a reasonable level here at Cageside.
But we couldn’t pass on sharing some inspired Bullet Club group cosplay from this weekend’s New Japan Road to Power Struggle show. Even the biggest Halloween Scrooge (does Halloween have a Scrooge? Probably doesn’t need one - I bet Ebenezer hated All Hallows’ Eve as much as Christmas) has to crack a bit of a smile for Marty Scurrl’s Aladdin using a gravy boat from his mother’s silver to summon Chase Owens’ Genie.
And of course for IWGP United States champion Kenny Omega as Princess Jasmine:

Of course if you hate The Bullet Club and Halloween, this could be the worst thing you’ve ever seen. They lost to YOSHI-HASHI, Will Ospreay and Beretta, if that helps. We’ll just assume Ospreay was Jafar.
It’s a whole new world, indeed.
