Are NJPW planning on releasing a good smart tv/ fire tv app anytime soon?

Is there a list of guys appearing in BOSJ yet? I mostly just want to know if Zack Sabre Jr. is going to be in the tournament, since NOAH is effectively part of NJPW now.

It's not a New Japan show but I went to the Tokyo Rugby 7s last Saturday and there was a gaggle of islanders wearing Bullet Club/Bad Luck Fale shirts, I kept an eye open but didn't see him too. Must have been friends of his.

We have to wait three months for the title match they just set up? drat  , although it's understandable given the lack of big show in June and the fact that they're obviously going to want to start hyping the Osaka-jo show early given the size of the venue. I thought Okada regaining the title exactly a year after he lost it would've been cool though.I wonder why Dominion's a couple weeks later than it's normally been anyway? Dontaku marks the first time I've seen women booked to wrestle in the company since I started watching them in 2012. Thauros fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Apr 6, 2015 |

Ok so i skipped to the two top matches. The AJ bout was superb. What a finish. What story were they telling with omega though? They focused on him a lot. I'm a newcomer to NJPW so, is there backstory there? Was the undercard good?

I'm a newcomer to NJPW so, is there backstory there? Omega and Ibushi were long time tag partners in DDT (Ibushi still works there as well, Omega quit when he signed with NJPW). They had a run with the IWGP Jr tag belts as well back in 2010. It's logical that Omega would be conflicted and it's cool that they went that way instead of pretending that he didn't exist pre Bullet Club. The junior tag match was the best one I've seen in months and the crowd was hot for it. Omega had his best match since joining the Bullet Club against Dorada. Nothing else on the undercard was that extraordinary, but it was a fun solid show well worth watching. Thauros fucked around with this message at 12:40 on Apr 6, 2015 |

Wonder if that tag match means they're going to do a Naito/Ibushi envy feud like the commentary for Naito's entrance at Invasion Attack suggested

ICHIBAHN posted:What story were they telling with omega though? They focused on him a lot. I'm a newcomer to NJPW so, is there backstory there? I may be way off, but I feel like the story of the show was "The Bullet Club loses all their matches except for Omega, who then saves AJ from also losing his match" So maybe down the line Omega is going to start thinking he's better than the BC, or try to take over the group and lead it. Edit: Reading another thread, Kenny & Kota were a tag team for a long time. So that explains his reluctance to screw over his old friend. I love when a wrestling show rewards you for remembering stuff from the past instead of just glossing over it all. triplexpac fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Apr 6, 2015 |

Making Kenny Omega a more serious character through emotional conflict would be a pretty awesome story, I gotta say.

Really enjoyed Invasion Attack, the finish to the Main event and okada after!  Also NJPW just posted these on their fb and I need the Nakamura tapestry in my life http://njpw-p.jp/page/tapestry.html Could anyone translate? Why are there two prices for each?

i watched okada vs. fale, that match was awesome. both guys worked really hard. i hope okada continues to get away from the typical 'okada match' when he's not working with a monster who pretty much necessitates it.

Omega, Fale and AJ usually lay off the goofiness. The rest... Create a wrestler as gently caress.

Bucks wear tie dye, Yujiro wore pink, Fale is Togan Diesel, Bad Boy Tama Tonga in his evil face paint and crawling, Omega with his trench coat and coked up mannerisms, Doc on his trash bag trunks and face paint, then the normal looking Anderson and Styles who still spew too sweet. Everyone in the stable are a mess. I forgot Cody Hall was in Bullet Club

Who's the woman with bullet club? Yujiro's lady? edit: I always assumed Bullet Club was supposed to be annoying and ridiculous; they're mainly a bunch of dumb bros repeating catchphrases and constantly doing crotch chops who think they're the coolest ever.

A friend alerted me to a podcast that provides English commentary for these shows. It's just one guy talking so, it can be a bit dry, but it helps keep my attention. I listen along with the proper broadcasts for the audience reactions. It is called the PUK Wrestling Podcast.
