I prefer shows together but it would be nice if they had spoiler free match markers like FightPass.

I also assumed today's show would be a Samurai TV style show rather than the single cam at a house show setup they used on that Nico subscription service.

It's a house show in the middle of BFE Ibaraki, it's just a two-cam setup and muting of songs they don't have. It's literally in a town gymnasium too. It's just a house show, so it's more "it's nice that we get these" to me.

Yeah. I was mildly disappointed at the lack of full production, but it's still a nice bonus considering we're getting more than our money's worth with three full shows this month.

Honestly after TLC I was happy to just be able to chill out this evening with a simple and straightforward house show with nothing too silly or ambitious. It was a fun show, nothing ground breaking but fun.

Now that I'm actually watching it while awake I'm more favorably inclined. It's actually kinda cool being able to clearly hear the in ring poo poo talking like Gedo calling MiSu a motherfucker,.

Is the Shinsuke mameshiba ad they showed on the tron during intermission online? I've only been able to find the Tana one.

So what's the deal with Road to Tokyo Dome? Watching it now and it seems like the first half is comedy matches/matches with a lot of comedy spots. The whole show seems sort of laid back; is it usually just a small, less crazy show like this with a more intimate crowd?

This is really my first full-show exposure to NJPW and I want to get myself primed for Wrestle Kingdom, plus I figured this was a better option to Raw tonight.

Cool, figured it was something along those lines. Finally setting some time aside to put my NJPW World membership to use and not disappointed so far. The matches on Road to Tokyo Dome weren't great or anything, but from what I'm reading of Raw results it's a much more enjoyable experience.

Watch the G1 Final, Destruction, King of Pro Wrestling, Power Struggle and the World Tag League Final.

It seems like a big time commitment (and it is) but after the first show you'll breeze through.

One of the things that people wanted from the WWE Network was to be able to watch some house shows... so it's cool that NJPW gives you that option.

I mean I totally get why WWE didn't put house shows on the Network. They tour them all over the place, it's the same show in every city. But still.

We got some "old school" house shows on the Network though! I feel like there is a lot more of that house show stuff that they aren't uploading though.

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
So, I'm having a little trouble navigating even with Chrome Translate, and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Basically, what I'd like to do is like, put a match from that excellent match spreadsheet in the OP into Chrome, and then use that match's page to somehow navigate to the match list for the entire show that that one match is on. So, for example, if I put:

http://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00232_11_10

Which is for Okada v. Suzuki on the G1 Climax Day 11 show. Is there somewhere I can click on that page that would send me to a list of the matches for the entire show so I could watch it all in order?

Edit:

Or just an easier way for a stupid American to find full shows also works very well.

I FIGURED IT OUT. Yay

Not going to be able to catch tomorrow's live, but I definitely want to watch both. Last year's pre DomeKorakuen shows had some amazing multiman main event matches and I'm curious to see if we get any hints on YTR's mystery partners.

That is indeed the only one. Keep in mind that the service launched literally in the middle of the tour. They're going to have a much higher percentage of the big tournaments up in the future including every day of the G1. Really, you're not missing that much. Even I wouldn't watch every day of the WTL if they gave me the option

his world title matches (vs. Tana at All Together '12, vs. Okada at Dominion 2013) are both really loving great. he's ok in the midcard but nothing extraordinary imo, def a dude who saves it for the huge matches.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The last time I saw Marufuji was against Nigel McGuiness at Glory by Honor I think like 6 years ago or more? I didn't even recognise him, he used to look perpetually babyfaced and... small. Now he looks he's Tanahashi's brother.
