I normally tolerate Kevin Kelly on ROH shows, why the hell is he always so bad on NJPW shows? Romero was rubbish too

KungFu Grip posted:Wonder if that teasing at the end of Night 1 will trigger something here for night 2's ending. I'd imagine they'll hold off until a bigger NJPW show. Certainly seems like they're gonna take Omega out of Bullet Club. Be disappointed if he turns face though.

That main event was fun as hell. As were both nights in general.

I cannot believe that in 2017, I am rooting for CJ Parker to win the New Japan Cup. He'll not win but they've been hinting pretty heavily towards him doing well, I've got a feeling he makes the semi. So, to be clear, is it on the Semi'a that are televised? Or have I picked that up wrong?

Excellent show again. New Japan haven't had a bad show since i started re-watching at WK. Wasn't a massive fan of Shibata/ZSJ. It was a good match but nothing memorable other than the ending, which was great. Looking forward to the New Japan Cup now. I think Omega will take it to set up a rematch with Okada later in the summer.

The Japanese announcing tells a story better in English than Kelly does.

It's nice that Kevin Kelly is finally pronouncing Suzuki-Gun correctly. Even if he can tell he absolutely hates saying it that way.

Chinston Wurchill posted:Go War Machine! I see two title changes on the card and I think War Machine may be one of them. They were over as hell at the ROH/NJ Korakuen shows. The only thing that makes me doubt the change would be that it's only the 1st defence for two legends. I think Sabre Jr takes the NEVER title aswell. It's clear they want to push the "look at how many titles this guy has" angle but also Goto's reign has been so loving sub par.

Do not even ask posted:I just been recently watching NJPW on the reg, but do you think the way cards are typically booked (multi-man paloozas, one or two singles matches near the top) may be a contributing factor to how you feel about the reign? Not really. The multi man tags are actually a great way to generate heat and build feuds. The problem is the ones that have involved Goto, he's not played a central or even supporting act in any of them (from memory). He's just.... there.

Watched the second half of the show last night. I love War Machine and it's clear they are super over with the Japanese crowd. It'd be nice to see them going on a run with the titles just destroying everyone. Shibata/Okada was great, the noise from that head butt made me legit cringe. Who'd have though CJ Parker would be one of the top faces in Japan? And for what it's worth, his in ring work has deserved it.

Nobody seems really sure if the Shibata thing is real or fake. All I know is I never want to hear that sound from a headbutt in professional wrestling ever again

Thauros posted:There's a three way with Ten-Cozy and GoD set for Dontaku. I'd love for them to stay long term, but many view them as WWE bound as soon as they start signing ROH guys again. GoD? I've always viewed them as the non WWE "Usos" so it'd be interesting to see what they would do with that. E: I think you mean War Machine, actually. So ignore that.

Is it possible to get this delivered to the uk from the NJ site? It's not on PWTees or the NJPW Europe store and I need it in my life.

Every big card has delivered so far this year. On paper this looked the weakest of the lot but the last 4 matches were all really good in different ways. I preferred the Omega/Ishii match last month but this was still great. Tanahashi/Naito and Omega/Okada at Dominion should keep the run going.

With the reactions that the Young Lions are getting, it wouldn't surprise me if they started pushing Kitamura quicker than was planned. My favourite is still Kawato , though!

Kitamura is the guy they are gonna push to the sky.

Here's a thing, what's with the incessant hate of Taichi? Sure he's not great, but he's no more boring than a lot of the other lower card guys who get flung in multi man's

I liked KUSHIDA/Takahashi more than Omega/Okada.

The most recent Lions Gate from the other day was pretty good for a C show to showcase talent. I love Kawato. He's definitely the most developed character wise from the current group
