Does anyone watch the Ustream shows on their iPad? I always used to hook up my iPad to my TV to watch the New Japan shows, but the first G-1 show is giving me a "video not available on this device" error.

I'm still amazed at how smooth that Styles Clash > Tombstone counter went. What a great spot.

Same with indie spotfests, late AJPW head drop bonanzas, etc... have you considered not watching puro "creatively bankrupt" lol

Finally finished watching Night 1. Some thoughts: - Loved the intro with all the guys training and Naito randomly diving after line drives, apropos of nothing. - Ishii/Fale was a really good giant v. midget match, but man, it's getting tougher and tougher to watch those ridiculous battering ram headbutts. A lot of guys in New Japan do them but Ishii's are so much more  for some reason.- A good Tenzan match appears! That match was about 5x better than I expected. Early in the tournament, I guess we get the best out of guys because they haven't spent the past week straight getting their rear end kicked. - Some nice surprises with the Tenzan and Yano results. Mixing things up helps. - What the hell did Takahashi do to Naito on that slingshot suplex type move? Did he accidentally drop him right on his head? - It might be because the last wrestling I watched before this was Battleground (I imagine this happened to a lot of people actually), but I thought all three of the main events were in the ****1/2 or better range. And Goto/Makabe and Nagata/Kojima were in the **** range. The dueling suplex over the top rope spot in Honma/Tanahashi was so well done. And in Okada/Styles, yes, the Styles Clash into the tombstone spot was awesome, but the high angle German suplex Okada used right after looked even cooler. I thought it was a good look for Okada to overcome the outside interference and win after the last two Styles matches. - This was the best show I've seen this year. Other shows have had better single matches, but nothing has worked top-to-bottom like this show did. I'm going to have to start waking up to watch these live, because this tournament is shaping up to be so great. p.s. Fighting spirit is great, fighting spirit forever.

I love fighting spirit no-sell spots, they should be in every match. Same with powerbombs and superkicks.

Tomorrow's card is at 5 AM EDT.quote:NJPW, 7/23/14 (Samurai! TV/iPPV) This is probably the weakest card on paper but I'm sure it'll still have some decent matches. Doc Gallows in a singles main event is kinda weird. Hope Ishii/Kojima and Nagata/Honma get decent time since they have the potential to be very good.

I'm morbidly curious for the Yano vs. Styles match because I have no idea what that match is even going to look like, other than the finish.NienNunb posted:Shibata is very handsome and has very nice hair. This is also true, I hope that after G1 they let him wrestle high profile singles matches again.

Day 9 has a typo that says Kojima vs. Nagata, but it's Kojima vs. Nakamura. It was also announced that reDRagon vs. Time Splitters is for the IWGP Jr Tag titles and Adam Cole & Mike Bennett w/ Maria vs. Captain New Japan and Jushin Liger was announced.

If there was a 'show that exceeds expectations of the year' award this would have to be the winner. Thought it was better than the solid but wildly overrated Monday show tbh.

I take it this was worth watching then? I'm trying to keep on track with this year's G1 but I've got a busy schedule and was considering skipping this one due to time limitations.
