Here's a link to watch their last major show headlined by a big title match (AJ Styles vs Hiroshi Tanahashi). I have a playlist from Saturday's show featuring a lot of US indie talent up in http://www.psp-tv.com/r/konesaar. Here's a link to a critically acclaimed title match from Spring 2013 (Tanahashi vs Okada) that won the Wreslting Observer Award for Match of the Year and is my personal favorite match of all time. Here's links to a four part guide from this summer written as an introduction to the company that's still pretty current. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 If anyone has further questions about NJPW, please ask them in the New Japan Thread so I don't further poo poo up this thread with endless blather about a different company.

Thauros posted:It's not always easy, especially when two top guys and one entertaining midcarder are injured and the champ isn't here most of the time. But there's no loving good reason for the stretch of poorly booked bland shows they're on either. I know I can be the annoying NJPW shill at times, but it's not like I'm unwilling to give WWE props when I feel they deserve it. Hell, I honestly thought WM XXX was slightly better than WK 8 and I'm not even as huge on Bryan as a lot of the forum. kidcoelacanth posted:The key is to just lower your standards immensely and then when good things happen it's even better!

SamuraiFoochs posted:Btw, as much as I went bonkers all the rasslin' on that show was real cool so there's that. That's the funny thing about the WWE right now. The traditional knock on them from hardcore fans is that the actual wrestling's poo poo and that they focus too much on the entertainment end. The actual wrestling's fine right now and even with all the injuries they still have a ton of guys who can work. It's just that they've been horrible at giving me any reason to care about their matches even if they're ok from a workrate perspective.

SamuraiFoochs posted:I do this already, how else could I be so happy most of the time? I get ya. Makes you feel any better most of us feel the same. I've watched way too much TNA for my own mental health. There was a year or two I was watching more TNA than WWE. That is embarrassing as gently caress to admit. As much as they dropped the ball remember last year when Show was bypassing D-Bry for another title run? I don't want to echo that meme but at least we have Ryback, Dust Brothers, Rusev, Ziggler, Ambrose, "Thats what I do!" not to mention returning red hot BnB, D-Bry and Pax Romana. Cena, Vince and Dunn can only gently caress up so much. Oh dread lord cthulhu, I sound like a battered wife. And I still watch Impact.  Ragnarok the Red posted:

Definitely happy to see The Big Guy back. Not happy that The Beast isn't around to suplex anybody though. He should suplex both teams at Survivor Series into oblivion to a standing ovation from the crowd.

Truthfully the part that really gets me is that Cena promo, mostly because A you know Vince actually thinks this and B if he actually wanted to, Cena could, y'know, not bury people. I was there for the Reign Of Doom. Cena has done more to bury guys, whether directly or indirectly, than HHH ever has, only without the racism, to Cena's credit. Not because Cena's a bad guy necessarily, but because he'll do WHATEVER Vince asks him to. It's really a shame, because he can be so great.

On the one hand, The Big Guy. On the other, an explicit acknowledgment of the obvious fact that John Cena is attempting to murder wrestling, and will likely succeed within 18 months.

Good main event, glad Dolph got an actual win, Orton is heading towards interesting again, THE BIG GUY. But I still rather disliked this Raw, and I'm thinking Survivor Series is going to be on-par with last year. More "Cena Show" than Raw has been in ages. And sorry but despite Dean's best efforts on that promo this was actually an underwhelming (at best) beginning to Bray/Dean. I know WWE is going safe because of Network numbers, but, I don't have to like it!!

If Dean completely and utterly laughs it off and says Bray can't drive a man insane when he already is or something similar I will retract this particular part of the criticism. Now, I've already forgotten the details since Raw made me black out right around the Cancer Dancers, but I'm pretty sure it was more along the lines of "You're crazy, but you are not my brother. I'm going to break you mentally and make you a clean slate." So I guess kind of like he was going to do to Kane, if the writers didn't get ADD a week into it.

I liked Bray's promo because it had really interesting implications for Dean. It could've used a bit more Dean in there, but I'm interested. I guess the Bray bandwagon was derailed once Cena buried him. I still like him quite a bit, and this was a singles feud I'd wanted to see come out of Shield/Wyatts earlier this year but it never happened. If you're not into it, fine, but the sheer vitriol for this is weird. Also, Ryback Rules.

Ryback isn't really that good as a face and there's already way too many faces, with Reigns and maybe Bryan soon to be thrown into the pile.

I'd be okay with it if it meant Curtis Axel was a reluctant face. Clearly doesn't wanna play by the rules, but if it's for his BFF 4 Life Ryback. BIG MAN BIG HANDSHAKES Big Friendship.  But for real, I wouldn't be surprised if the WWE acted as if Axel didn't exist...again.
