VJeff posted:Seems like we're finally getting to the juicy part of the Dontaku tour. Anything from the earlier shows I should go back and watch? I saw earlier that the Jr. Tag Title match was last night and was pretty good. Yesterday's show felt like the first one since I started watching in January which was just instantly forgettable. Well, except for the moment when Suzuki looks like he's about to attack a fan, holy hell that was an intense look in his eyes even by Minoru's terrifying standards. He settled for smashing up their chair.

Today's preview match for Okada/Tanahashi was something else. Okada completely no sold Tana's offense, tombstoned him on the floor while laughing, kept Taguchi in the cobra clutch for a bit after the match was over, performed some acrobatics to show off that he didn't even break a sweat and then tried to tombstone Tana's corpse on the floor again before the young lions broke it up. Chuckie T really turned him into a no good scoundrel. White/Finlay is up next

Chuckie T really turned him into a no good scoundrel. Thought it was interesting that that even Gedo was trying to stop him doing the tombstone after the bell. Seems like Okada is super pissed that Tanahashi even had the audacity to challenge him. Which might hint at him underestimating Ace come their match for the title. Until you remember that Okada will never lose. Also, I really like Taguchi's Kin-rear end-a Nakamura tribute. (Alternatively Chris Charlton proposed that it's Knife Pervert who has been corrupting Okada which is certainly totally possible and potentially cool.) forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Apr 24, 2018 |

that was an excellent main event, Finlay had a bit of a coming out party which I liked and another strong showing by Jay White. Obviously he isn't Omega but he has had pretty decent defenses and I like him!

New Japan put up a You tube video showing each of Okada's and Tanahashi's wins (and 1 draw) during their 11 defenses. Get hyped for the match! https://twitter.com/njpw1972/status/988983980748718080 https://twitter.com/njpw1972/status/988983799202463744

I got one of those too because for whatever reason the Lawson ticketing site wasn't accepting my card. (I was told it works if you don't use Chrome but it worked fine for me for WK tickets on Chrome). If it's anything like the way they did the foreigner tickets for WK, we'll all be put together in our own foreigner zone.

If you can get a decent deal to Tokyo, internal flights on Peach or Vanilla are extremely cheap and fast compared to the train.

Baron Corbyn posted:If you can get a decent deal to Tokyo, internal flights on Peach or Vanilla are extremely cheap and fast compared to the train. please note there are two airports in Tokyo and they're about two hours apart by bus or train. and that Osaka has two airports and both are at least an hour from the city center, where the Osaka-Jo Hall (and all the other fun stuff in Osaka) is located. all of that should be factored in. I've flown to Osaka and taken the bullet train, and the costs equaled out (I did fly on a low-cost carrier, JetStar), plus it's just much more direct travel-wise. comedy option: if you really want to save money, be like a college student and take an overnight bus from Tokyo to Osaka.

dave had some interesting information on bone soldier and the BOSJ on yesterday's episode. original bone soldier (hirasawa/cnj/ hideo saito) was fired for a gambling problem, tho he noted that the fact that he sucked probably contributed as well. new bone solider might get one of the three unannounced BOSJ slots, which would mean that this isn't a just a one off for a run in but also that it obviously can't be kitamura if he's correct. he didn't speculate on who is getting the remaining two spots but said that volador will not be doing the tour this year

I've been completely away since Sakura Genesis, any good recaps going into Dontaku? And what's up with this "WRESTLING HI NO KUNI" show Saturday, where I guess they're doing a whole bunch of Suzuki-gun vs LIJ matches? I know they'd been teasing Suzuki/Naito and stuff but I'm surprised that's not either on Dontaku or Dominion

Hi No Kuni was the B show on the Dontaku tour in 2015, and they were supposed to do one in 2016 but it got canceled due to the Kumamoto earthquake and the Omega vs. Elgin IC match moved to a Road to show in Hakata. Yeah, it's crazy stacked this year as Naito vs. Suzuki is a super heated feud right now and they've thrown in rare non title juniors singles matches as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erlCHfdRLOM

Oh jeez, I just had a look at the cards and this next week is going to be awesome and difficult to keep up with. If they mashed all the big matches together it would basically be another Wrestle Kingdom! Shame I'm out of town all weekend.  Okada vs. Tanahashi! Naito vs. Suzuki! Ospreay vs. Kushida! Kenny vs. Hangman! Ibushi vs. Cody! Juice vs. Goto! KES vs. LIJ! Tongans vs. Bucks +1! Lots of rad tag matches too, though. Especially looking forward to Golden Lovers vs. Taka/ZSJ and Okada/Ospreay vs. Kushida/Tanahashi. Chinston Wurchill fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Apr 25, 2018 |
