Well 5 days is nowhere near enough time to spend in Tokyo, I already want to go back (if for nothing else but the heated toilet seats + use of Suica card everywhere.) I had an amazing time, checked out the njpw shop and toudokan (and met Cheeseburger there!) as well as all the usual nerdy anime poo poo. My WK11 seat from only a few in from the barrier so I could see all the rumble people entering, and some of the losing people exiting (aside from Naito! So happy he came our way instead.) Here was my view:   There were tons of cosplayers around, I saw a pretty good Tana, Yano, lots of Gedos and BUSHI's. This was the only other SANADA I saw on the way out. I cannot recommend going to Japan enough for this, I managed to get a ticket for NYD in the end and the atmosphere for the return of Suzuki gun was unreal! I also spent 8000 yen on a Naito bear, no regrets. And this happened, I was both terrified and excited:  Anyway I can't wait too see Okada/Suzuki + Shibata/Ospreay (poss. for the RPW title is Shibata Retains.) and also need to go back and watch WK11 + NYD on njpwworld, need to see if Hiromu + KUSHIDA really did look like two men trying to murder one another live. Willninho posted:Is MiSu back worth having Iizuka, Taichi and Kanemura? The eternal question. That terrifying thought of seeing any of these v Bone Soldier. But still yes, cos it's Minoru Suzuki and he's a god drat badass.

I hoped that buying a poster of his face might stop him from murdering me, it seemed to work! I'll also be saving up for one of those Suzuki gun tracksuits, didn't have enough on me when I was there sadly...

Also top tweets: Koji was the reason I watched nearly all of KUSHIDA's vlog thing on njpwworld., guy cracks me up. Cranky Uncle Yuji is my fav NJPW elder, next to Gedo. Ah, you can pick up a Suica card at Tokyo station (and any shop I think?? ) and you can use that like an oyster card on the subway, but also in shops to pay for things, and the vending machines on the street accept them too, in case you run out of notes or coins. When I spent my last 100y in the SEGA arcade by my hotel I was glad for this haha. I also got the roundtrip ticket for the Narita express to take me from the airport to Tokyo station, which you can get for a bit cheaper if you are a foreigner and show them your passport when you buy. I stayed at the Tokyu Stay in Suidobashi, which is right across from the Dome, and it cost me just under 40,000 yen for 4 nights incl. breakfast. My room had a microwave, mini fridge, washing machine, safe and free slippers. That's about £300, I was v happy with my room and you pay on arrival so you can reserve it right away. I'm currently feeling very angry trying to book the same amount of days in London for Comic con rn... I crammed in as much as I could in just around Tokyo but still got nowhere near all the things I wanted to do. Germ Incubator fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Jan 12, 2017 |

My friend made a plushie/doll of Shibata and gave it to him at a RPW show, and it's in some of these pictures I can't stop laughing. Somehow this doll has been involved in this sordid affair. Also Goto liking this woman's tweets. I love Shibata but seeing him getting exposed like this is kinda funny xD Just wish they'd taken the Honma poo poo as seriously as this....

cams posted:is shibata married or is this woman married? either way i think this lady is kind of a jerk! Think Shibata is married, but I didn't know anything about it prior to this. I wonder what his best friend and adorable family man KENTA thinks of this?? Thauros posted:
Haha I couldn't believe it when I saw. They've made dolls for Kenny and lots of others in the past, they're awesome

King Faraday posted:I assume everyone in here has seen it, but Okada/Omega is up free for a week on NJPW World. I love the increased sassyness from NJPW since AJ/Cena happened. Okada makes one tweet about it and creates a shitstorm of angry smarks, it was hilarious and I approve. (Also yeah go watch this match right now, it's the bees knees.)

Jenkem Delivery posted:If you want to pony up 30-35 bucks for the convenience, Chromecast is a good option for displaying things on a TV from your computer I did have one at some point, the range was pants though. I would prob have to set up a second router for it to work upstairs, which is where I'm watching most of the time. Haven't a clue where to even start with that :/ harperdc posted:I think Sony has only sold something like 4 million PS4s in Japan, less than 10% of worldwide to date. Sadly I don't think the "console game fans" and "wrestling nerds" Venn diagrams overlap enough to make that happen, even only for the Japanese store. Aye PS4's don't do well in JPN, I can dream though if they're gonna be expanding more this and next year... Maybe just give it a thought, guys, please? :P Content feat. Okada gettin rekt

I'm slow catching up on shows but I just got done with Osaka last night and both NB ME's were fantastic and completely different Elgin trying to kill Naito by powerbombing him into that guard rail, Okada's selling and Suzuki just being completely mental, Dragon Lee + Hiromu just trying to kill each other in general... I've never screamed in horror so many times in a match! I'm booking my flight for the new year again next month, can't wait to be back in Japan I miss it.... You guys can always use Tenso or something similar to buy directly from the njpw shop, I've done it several times and it's fine. I gotta pick up a couple of tees for cosplay this month.

Can't wait for the guide, hopefully I'll be able to get a New Years Dash ticket first hand this time. I just booked my flight to Japan recently, staying for a few more days this time, can't wait to be back there!
