NJPW needs him more right now imo. I thibk they should trade him to NJPW for Taguchi. His rear end based schtick could actually work in DG's undercard multiman matches against the Mad Blankey C team.

If Toru Yano and Yoshi-Hashi don't get dominated like their controller was unplugged, it'll be a disappointment.

This should be a much more consistent night as Block B definitely has a LOT more depth. The next show w(2nd Block A Day) might be the weakest of the tourney. G1 N1 snowflakes: Nagata, Liger, TMIV, Komatsu vs Honma, Dorada, Finley, White - ***1/4 Goto+Captain vs Yujiro + Hall - ** Nakamura + YOSHI vs MGKA and Tonga - **3/4 Okada, Ishii, and Gedo vs Kojima, Elgin, and Taguchi - *** Tenzan vs Gallows - *1/4 Makabe vs YTR - *1/2 Naito vs Fale - *1/4 Styles vs Shibata ***3/4 Tanahashi vs Ibushi - ****3/4 I actually preferred AJ/Shibata to the main, but I was also dead tired for that match

2:30 AM Pacific start means this show is basically impossible for me to watch live, it'd be almost 4 AM before the matches worth caring about start. I'm an insomniac, but there are limits even for me.

I think Styles/Shibata was a bit short for Dave's taste. I could have definitely been fine with 5 more minutes. After the six man tag on the last show, I'm stoked for Okada/Elgin and Ishii/Kojima. Elgin seemed fired up to be in Japan.

I didn't even realize until I read it on VOW that this is going to be a limited production show with a single cam and no commentary. I knew there was going to be a few of them, but I didn't think they started this early. The other ones according to the schedule are 7/25, 8/5, and 8/7. Three out of the four are Block B shows too which kinda sucks. That 7/25 show is even pretty loaded with Nakamura vs Nagata, MGKA vs Goto, and Okada vs Honma.

Also its dumb that their G1 shows are going to just be hard cam poo poo. I can never get into the matches like that. What other days are hard cam only with no commentary that we can skip.

remembered this was on just in time for the first tournament match. It's really nice that they at least put this on NJPW World. They use this setup for some of the house shows they do leading up to big events too, right? e: wonder if Meltzer will bother doing snowflakes for this. would be nice if he at least did it for the singles matches this almost makes me feel like I'm watching this live with a great seat abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 12:08 on Jul 23, 2015 |

when there's no sound during entrances/after a match it's because they don't have rights to a song, right? what's up with that? do they have broadcast rights for it on traditional TV but not online, or is it because online viewers could be international? e: good to see the camera guy woke up to focus on this lady's butt, good work everyone

loving let's go honma I don't need commentary or fancy camera angles for this I just need to see this man fall on his brain repeatedly realtalk if Honma had been signed by ROH for the Field of Honor show next month I would not be trying to get NXT tickets for the show that night like, sure, Nakamura is cool I guess, but seeing Honma live is something I would be telling my grandchildren about someday abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Jul 23, 2015 |

I can't recall seeing a show with a setup quite like this. Normally the single camera shows have the camera placed at a really high angle and there is no video screen or set decoration around the entrance.

My guess is this is just a cost saving move esp with another show tomorrow. Would've preferred full production for this tho since tomorrow''s show is prob gonna be lame by G1 stadards.

He also said they are going to cut down on the number of photographers at ringside. The ringside photographers have been a Japanese tradition because the newspapers and magazines have been historically such an important part of the publicity of the business. Tezuka said that there have been many complaints from fans that the photographers block their views and he said cutting down on allowable photographers would help ringsiders see better.

Well, that's a surprise! New theme and Karl's been moping about how his career peaked in 2012, is he in line for a push? Can't see much changing as long as he's the linchpin of the mediocre tag division.
