Well that's.... a good run of cards. It's almost like I expect one bad card due to law of averages but Gedo and Jado just don't care about that rule.

could be making it up but i'm sure YTR does the RVD mannerisms because he beat him on one of the TNA/NJPW crossover shows somewhere between 05-07 maybe one of the tokyo dome shows, and then stole the gimmick and continued to use it for 10 years e: ok 2011 and he lost but still stole it handsome only face fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Aug 21, 2017 |

Man September 7th is a long time away. On the plus side my NJPW withdrawal has led me to check out the archives a bit. The two recommended Vader matches I've watched so far were disappointing, but Liger vs. Sano was good and shockingly violent for what I expected in a jr. match from 1990.

Those cards feel a bit middling to me, only a couple exciting match ups per card.

It's cool that my first live NJPW experience is gonna be Kenny defending the US belt against Juice and all, but part of me was hoping that Tana/ZSJ would be Kobe's main event just so I could be the one hapless foreigner in a ZSJ shirt surrounded by a sea of GO ACE

Thauros posted:yep, I assumed Okada was gonna face EVIL there and they'd go back to having an IWGP title match on that tour. You'd think they'd want a non all gaijin title match on that show for additional support So that would mean the Evil match is the only IWGP title defense left this year. Kind of surprised, but Okada's earned an easy schedule the back half of the year so it's fine. This is their soft off season now anyway. As for the Kobe show, here's hoping for a good house but that seems like a tough sell. Juice has momentum and he's cool, but headlining a 6000 seat show? Seems quite early for that. Would be a major feather in his cap at this stage in the game if that somehow sold out though.

Suzuki and KUSHIDA are missing the Kobe show to work the ROH show. I think this is the first time Suzuki wrestles in the USA? I know he wrestled in the UK last year but I can't find any record of him wrestling in the US.

Minoru Suzuki heads to the US so he can bully Ken Shamrock some more. And maybe work a Ring of Fascism show.

How long does it usually take NJPW World to divide up individual matches for their shows? It would make it easier for me to catch up on the G1 matches I missed.

It's usually been quick in the past, so if they haven't done it yet, they might now. Usually you can go to the 1:30 or 1:45 point in the show and find the first block match of the night (he says, after doing that for almost all the G1 nights).

Taichi posted:Hey REAL pro-wrestling fans! Taichi here to give you a hot scoop! Did you know that my Suzuki-Gun brother, TAKA Michinoku, and I have our own awesome pro-wrestling event every year?! That’s right, we’re on Season 2 already! You might’ve finished watching the finals of the G1 Climax and thought, “Well, that sucked! Suzuki shoulda won that! Well, now what?!” I’ll tell you “what”! TAKA & Taichi Productions Season 2, punks! August 28th at Shinjuku FACE!

So from the comments, he was showing him the Young Boy Tights to remind him of back in his Young Boy days when Taichi used to make his life a living hell?

Jerusalem posted:So from the comments, he was showing him the Young Boy Tights to remind him of back in his Young Boy days when Taichi used to make his life a living hell? I'm not sure what Hiromu was singing in the beginning, but think back to the G1 Finals when Taichi had his full pop star-ish entrance - it reminds me of that, plus the next day was/is the Hiromu vs Taichi match. And then Taichi pulls out the young boy tights and "bullied" isn't quite the right word. Looks like Hiromu got two barrels of PTSD from that - he's sitting down going "NO NO NO STOP STOP STOP IT NOW!!!" basically. Almost unnerving to be honest.

Hiromu is definitely singing Taichi's theme, or at least to the tune of it. I don't know Japanese to say it's the same lyrics.

The only person I see hanging out with Taichi regularly on social media is Kanemaru. Which probably explains the bottle of whisky he's constantly taking swigs of to maintain his sanity. https://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/901157376320876544 Who's even going to be in this tournament?
