If only this poo poo came out when I was in my college years. I'd be stocking up on sodas and snacks and would be so ready to stay up until 6am.

I think I can maybe make it to 2 or 3 if I make a cup of coffee later on. This is gonna be a real test to my old man-ness.

At least we're in this together, fellow east coast goons!

Central time goon here. I managed to make it through the G1 Climax Finals last summer, but last years Dome show I passed out in the Gracie match. Hopefully there are no lows like that tonight.

I don't really have any way to get it on my TV, so I'm going to try some advanced jackassery with a monitor cable going.

I dunno about you, but my charter affiliate is airing live in SD (wants to run UFC 182 repeats on the HD feed) and then live in HD tomorrow night. Still watching it on NJPW World because Matt Striker makes me want to pop my eardrums.

Alright, finally got signed up for NJPW World. Drinking coffee and playing video games until my Japanese wrestlemans come on at 2am. Eh, it's a living.

So this ring setup thing is just taped from earlier? It's neat.

Oh poo poo, that's weird; it's listed on the channel, but when I looked at the list of PPVs available to order it wasn't there, though it let me order it through the channel just fine. Thanks! I get to watch (tomorrow at 4 PM though, because I'm not an undergrad anymore)

I called Cox in SD and they said it's airing live here in SD (I'm not sure if that's a charter affiliate; I'm going to a friend's house and was checking for the good of the group). We're lucky I guess because I don't know anyone else watching live on cable :/

Anyway I am beyond stoked and if the walk up is solid it's selling out which is sick as gently caress. A new peak for the renaissance.

I'm so glad NJPW World exists. I've been catching up on shows from G1 Climax 24 since the launch and I haven't had a bad time watching any of the shows. I'm starting to skip over some guys or matches that seem to happen at every event, but that's about my only gripe.

I'm glad there's a pro-wrestling thing that has me excited like this again. I know I'll always watch WWE because I've watched it my entire life and it's always there, but NJPW is something I'm thoroughly enjoying.

Also, WHOA young Nakamura in this Power Struggle promo package!

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

I seriously always find charismaless Nakumura to be an absolute mindfuck. I watched some of his matches at the time so I know it was a real thing that happened, but now my brain can't reconcile it with who he has become.

The timer on the World site says WK9 is 18 hours away. But by my count it's only about 5? What's going on?

Also I finally decided to check out Matt Striker's recap vids. First one I clicked was Sakuraba/Suzuki and I couldn't make it two minutes. Dude spends the first minute talking about political correctness and then starts talking about the match making sick burns on the ivory tower elites. loving insufferable.

It seems like guys kick out of what seem like big moves a lot. At least, they kick out and the crowd goes banana. Has anyone actually kicked out of the Rainmaker before?

If I get it with that Flipp thing they let you watch it for 2 or 3 days after On Demand, so if I pass out in the middle of it I can watch the rest then. I might pull the trigger.

Tanahashi has twice after VERY delayed pinfall attempts. No one has kicked out out of Rainmaker + normal pinfall.
