How about not having an actual in-ring death on PPV Just took another look at the OP and Taichi/Desperado is the Suzukigun junior tag team going forward? That's a disappointment, Taichi and TAKA had a great heel act going.

Ishii is still working after all. edit: I should clarify that I don't think he is actually at risk of dying in the ring if he just has one match. Obviously they would not want that.

If you mean Kurt Angle, he's came back from an injury and then instantly got injured. He's in such bad shape that even TNA doesn't want him to wrestle anymore.

I'm sure it would be a very bad idea on his part and I don't really want to see it either as a fan or as a decent human being but I don't think he would LITERALLY DIE and given that this is wrestling I'm sure New Japan would do it if they thought the exposure was worth however much he'd want.

As someone whose NJPW knowledge is basically just Day 1 of the G1 Climax this year so far, honest question: Is there a cooler man on Earth than Shinsuke Nakamura? I am already totally infatuated with this man and I just saw the Pharrell video where he dances and I can't stop replaying it. God drat.

So from the way Dave talked about it on Observer Radio it sounds like the PPV thing is most likely happening. He thinks it's a bad idea because they don't have TV, but after seeing how ROH did they want to try it for themselves. I wonder how many buys they'd have to do to break even - I can't imagine that many since they'd be taping the thing anyway, they just have to pay for the announcers and whatever promotion they do. Would ROH have information about how many buys they did in areas where they don't have TV?

Yottsume sold so many NJPW t-shirts they gave him a wholesale account and he's now a vendor and has a website. http://puroresushop.com/ Prices are similar to One Hour Tees, but I'd rather buy from Yottsume because he's a super swell guy, he works drat hard, and it supports him directly in his translating efforts

Maybe yottsume can get it like Mutoh's stuff if enough people ask? Nagata's walkout shirts are also done through an outside company instead of NJPW so you aren't going to see those either. EDIT: El Hijo Del Helmsley just asked him on twitter about MiSU merch and he said he's working on it. Thauros fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Aug 30, 2014 |

I'm seriously starting a collection of NJPW scarf/muffler towels, since they're easy to get now. Started with the red and white regular NJPW one, and the black and gold Rainmaker one.

"The people who want to support njpw and dont care about "authenticity" buy from pwtees." So...the official merch, direct from NJPW, isn't authentic? "Nah man, those aren't authentic, what you want are my screen-printed knockoffs."
