I'm excited for the New Japan Cup this year - there are a lot of directions they could go in and most of them would be interesting. I'd kind of like to see a heel vs. heel faction war between LIJ and Bullet Club when the latter returns, since CHAOS still seems occupied with Suzukigun and LIJ have a bunch of belts. Maybe hold off on the obligatory Omega vs. Okada rematch for a big show in a few months and have a less obvious NJC winner in the meantime.

Baron Corbyn posted:I keep hearing 'Punishment' Martinez from Kevin Kelly. I think that's actually his ROH name. He was Punisher Martinez in the top prospects tournament, then "The Punishment" Damien Martinez with Kevin Sullivan, then I stopped watching. Nice double shot this weekend. NJPW tends to be a lot of fun when they do foreigner-focused tours and I loved what they did with Dalton and the Boys. It looks like War Machine might have a future in Japan, and even Silas Young seemed pretty over with the live crowd. Bring on Tiger Mask W vs. Okada!

Really fun B-tier show last night - Okada/TMW, Shibata/Sabre, and Hiromu/Taguchi were all pretty great. I still wish they'd treat the jr. tag belts less like a hot potato, but I pretty much accept it at this point. Makabe is rocking a pretty sweet beard these days, too. Bring on the New Japan Cup!

Baron Corbyn posted:he had successful surgery for a subdural hematoma according to NJPW's website Oh jeez, way to give yourself a traumatic brain injury Shibata. It sounds like they caught it early which is good, but this kind of thing isn't a trivial matter. Hopefully he recovers okay. Glad to see War Machine take the belts - that was the most I've enjoyed a HW tag title match in awhile. It would be nice if they got a decent run but that's not really how the tag divisions work. Hiromu has been such a great addition to the junior division. Looking forward to him and Ricochet and hopefully they get Ospreay back for a title shot as well.

It's not uncommon to temporarily remove a chunk of skull to relieve brain swelling. In some people they actually implant it elsewhere in the body to make sure it stays fresh until they put it back in. Given the rest of his reported symptoms he's lucky to be speaking at this point. But yeah, no more wrestling for that guy please.

Man September 7th is a long time away. On the plus side my NJPW withdrawal has led me to check out the archives a bit. The two recommended Vader matches I've watched so far were disappointing, but Liger vs. Sano was good and shockingly violent for what I expected in a jr. match from 1990.

Yeah the main event should be great assuming it gets a bit more time in that slot. If anyone wants to see Nakanishi putting in his effort for the year, the main event against Nagata was pretty darn good (same as last time they headlined a show).

Man after the Jericho thing I actually thought against all common sense that the commentary might be foreshadowing an Ibushi vs. Nakamura IC match for WK and I'm a bit disappointed it didn't happen. Also, that sliding rope-assisted German by Trent is the coolest new move I've seen since Matanza debuted. Chinston Wurchill fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Nov 5, 2017 |

Sanguinia posted:Have we heard about Shibata's status anytime recently? I care a lot more about him being able to walk properly than anything Honma related. Not recently. He walked out to the ring at the G1 Final in August and said a couple words on the mic. Last I remember seeing was a Tweet (?) In which he talked about rehab not going as well as he would have liked. I feel like that was at least a month ago.

Tag League night 1 was a lot of fun! All the newcomers got put over strong and I hope Chucky, Cobb, and Sami stick around. I didn't quite understand why Juice and Sami were tagging together until the announcers reminded me that Sami was in NXT. I think I'm officially on the Death Juice train.

Best Friends vs. UnbreaCobble from the most recent show was a lot of fun (Chucky got a chant!), the GOD vs. Young Boys match had some good comedy, and the main event that's just starting should be a fine hoss off. Definitely worth tuning in for the top of the card. I also enjoyed Juice screaming "gently caress off Nakanishi" in the previous show. I guess Sami's rubbing off on him. I know there has to be the impression of parity with some of the faction teams but if I'm in charge of Chaos I'm definitely putting Goto and Ishii together to kill someone dudes.

I'm finding KES much more tolerable this run and I'm not sure if it's because they actually improved or because they're facing teams other than Tencozy. DBS in particular has looked good lately, though he's always been pretty carryable.

It's a little odd that they're doing heel vs. heel in the finals and at the dome, but I guess LIJ could be de facto faces in both matches. It's good that they have a tag finisher, just a shame that it's similar to a transitional GOD move that looks much better. sigmachiev posted:That's an awesome name but what is it?

Natural 20 posted:Okay, I want to watch New Japan because the streaming pile of constant poo poo that is WWE is making me sad. Basically all of their big events for the past 5 or so years are worth watching, but if you're getting hyped for this year's Wrestle Kingdom maybe start with last year's (11) and hit all the big ones since then. Often the undercard isn't too exciting so you can skip to the title matches in the second half. Specifically I'd recommend: WK11 New Beginning In Sapporo (last three matches) New Beginning in Osaka (last four matches) Sakura Genesis (last three matches) Wrestling Dontaku (Omega/Ishii) Best of Super Junior Finals (Kushida/Ospreay) Dominion (last four matches) G1 Special in USA Night 1 (top three matches) G1 Special in USA Night 2 (Omega/Ishii, Bucks/RPG Vice) G1 Climax Tournament (too many to list, but Okada/Omega was great again) G1 Climax Final (Omega/Naito, Bucks/Taguchi Japan) Destruction in Hiroshima (Tanahashi/ZSJ) Destruction in Kobe (Omega/Juice) King of Pro Wrestling (Roppongi 3K/Taguchi Japan, last three matches) Power Struggle (last three matches) Once you get a feel for who you like, you'll have a better idea of what to skip and what to watch. Okada, Omega, Naito, Tanahashi, Ishii, Kushida, and Hiromu are some of my faves.

Thauros posted:If they're re-debuting him in a match third from the top at the Dome against Hiroshi Tanahashi for a belt that's expected to headline shows they have confidence in him. It's way too early to say whether or not the confidence is well placed and there are elements of the gimmick that come off as lame and tryhard. Kinda unfair judging him too harshly based on one post match challenge segment tho. EVIL worked out great so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm at work for WK but I have an office with a door and the place is going to be dead so I'll get paid to watch wrestling!

I'm not sure who my fave New Japan horse is, but it might be Tanahashi rolling in a giant IC belt. Horse game video for those who missed it.

I hope if Naito wins they don't trot Goto out too early as a challenger to give him some credibility. I like Goto more than most but I just don't buy him as a top contender anymore without a good run of wins or some changes in his presentation.
