I don't have a long history of watching NJPW, so I haven't grown attached to the older wrestlers that have been kicking rear end for years and years... yet I still feel bad when the old guys lose

It's normal and right to want Nagata to win every single match.

another thing I didn't expect: I really like the crowd yelling "KAZE NI NARE" but it seems so unfitting for Minoru Suzuki. The crowd claps along and sings that line while a psychopathic sadist kicks a young boy in the dick and prepares to brutally torture people.

Doesn't make me want to sing along any less. Did he always have this character or did he start as a face? In other news I'm watching some G1 right now (probably a bad idea since I plan to watch RAW tonight) and in this 6-man tag did Juice just bust open Suzuki's chest?

I may have missed some of the non-tournament matches he was involved in, but by my count, Hiromu is 4-0 since the death of Daryl. That's a motivated man if I've ever seen one

I'm under the impression that NJPW didn't expect the death of Daryl to become such a bit thing on English language twitter and the whole thing has come as a bit of a pleasant surprise to them.

Suzuki's theme is probably the best in wrestling as it's catchy as all hell yet still bad rear end. His entry at the Tokyo dome with it being sung live is still one of the best. I so want Nagata to run the table now that he's eliminated but I doubt he'll do it

His nickname is "The man with the worst personality in the world," I'm not sure he's ever truly worked face. Tweener at best. Comedy badass in DDT might be the closest.

Soul-piercing words. i'm not "messing around" about it. if you think wwf is good and then see hiromu pouring out his heart for real you would start vomiting everywhere from emotional overload

Anyone got clips of a few years ago when Dave was upset the G1 was putting Elgin in and he viewed him as washed up/not good anymore and complaining they weren't bringing someone else from RoH in

I know he'll get killed but if they don't run Hiromu/Fale at the G1 finals they're fools.

Minoru Suzuki is a bitter old man who is tired of whatever it is you are doing. Unless the thing you are doing is acknowledging the greatness of Minoru Suzuki. He's generally okay with that unless you're using the NWA Titles as an example. Then he is super tired of your poo poo.

I dunno one of the better bits of the G1 when was Suzuki was about to beat up Desperado until Desperado reminded him that he's his team mate. Basic gist is Suzuki can beat anyone up if he wants

Ahahaha, Suzuki just standing there kicking a dead Kojima in the face, Tenzan runs over and kicks him in the leg and tells him to stop. Suzuki stares at him for a moment, perplexed, then turns back around and starts casually kicking Kojima in the face again.

There's a chance, but at this point I'd prefer SANADA to win and stay within touch with the top guys in the block. But I expect Juice to get at least one more win somewhere, preferably 2.

I don't see Okada losing in a semi-main. That loss is being saved for Kenny, or possibly the finals. A Block, who the gently caress knows at this point. Still think Naito wins but nice to have a good top mix there for the back half.
