GEORGE W BUSHI posted:The FREEDOMS show has a Toshiyuki Sakuda vs Rina Yamashita deathmatch which will probably loving own I just end up pulling my hair out trying to "translate" the names of people on smaller shows. At least with groups that I've a passing familiarity with I can sort of fudge my way through it Dave Meltzer in the 80s Jushin Riger style, but god it should be mandatory to do like Stardom do & put up the names in both Kanji & Latin alphabets in pictures or something similar. Purely for my benefit.

finally gave in to the pressure for more good Japanese wrestling and subscribed to Wrestle Universe. Other than just "start watching", where's good to start? Currently watching the D King Grand Prix show that dropped today but I'm aware this is most of the way through a tournament featuring mostly guys I don't know plus Chris Brookes (on whatever night he's on). Is there a better approach, or should I just immerse? Lamuella fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Dec 4, 2020 |

Depends on how far back you want to go, but DDT just recently had Ultimate Party which is now their big show of the year so you could watch that, then the two DDT TV Show episodes following it (#11 and #12), and then start on the D-oh Grand Prix shows to be more or less caught up. To get a little more set-up for Ultimate Party, and an introduction to the whole roster, you could start with the King of DDT tournament which ran over four shows in August. In general, the DDT TV Show episodes highlight the storylines leading up to the main shows this year so if you don't want to watch everything those are a good option to follow along with.

I'm probably not the best person for this question, because I still sometimes get confused with DDT's lower card guys but I'm online so I'll give it a go. Easiest way for me to get into a new promotion around tournament time is to pick one guy I know in each block (in your case Chris Brookes in A Block and either Tetsuya Endo (the champ) or Jun Akiyama (legend in the twilight of his career) in B Block) and just watch every one of their matches as it goes. If there's a particular opponent you really enjoyed the match of, repeat the process with them until you get a basic knowledge of the top players. It's a pretty good time to get into DDT. Endo just defended the belt against his faction mate at Ultimate party last month so everyone is gunning for the #1 contender spot in the tournament. Only downside is that the two members of Eruption are in separate blocks so there's not much chance to see one of the coolest teams in the world.

cheers, that's very helpful. I'll probably go back to Ultimate Party for DDT, then. I think the technique of "start with a big show" will work for DDT, TJPW, and Noah. So I'll look at The Chronicle and Wrestle Princess too.

If you've never watched a NOAH Abema preshow, one of the commentators has a magnetic whiteboard & a pointer & magnets with all the NOAH wrestlers faces & the board is divided up into all the stables. Actually, there's two boards, one for the Juniors & one for the Heavyweights. I imagine if you speak Japanese it's a pretty useful intro to what the gently caress is going on, but it's also a delightfully low budget presentation & I love it.

NOAH have confirmed they are returning to the Nippon Budokan on 12th February 2021, first time since 2013's Final Burning, aka the Kenta Kobashi retirement show.

While watching Juniors silliness and shenanigans shoutout to the people at Cyberfight who do the video packages because they may be the best in the business (WWE used to always be great at that stuff even when everything else on the show was lovely, dunno if that is still true) Corner cam is also a fun touch

Generally as a rule keeping Saku to under 15 minutes is smart as I'm not sure he has the greatest cardio, but that could just be my bias against chain smokers.

It's probably just the thought that I wanted Kenoh to win more definitively. Like if he reached the ropes and after another minute or two of grappling he managed to choke Saku out I would have been perfectly fine with it.
