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 :/

if you've got ethernet wired up, the Chromecast Ultra has an ethernet port on it. it costs like twice as much which is annoying (as far as I can tell the only other difference is that it has 4k?) but it might be an option

i kind of want to get my los ingobernables hat signed by naito, sanada, bushi, and evil at the roh show next week but it'd literally be $20 per signature and i'm just not sure bushi has done enough to earn my 20 bucks

It takes like 3 Rainmakers to put away every challenger these days.

there was some maybe-overly-marky blog post I kinda liked that basically was like "the day Okada loses is the day he lets go of the wrist, because the whole point isn't the Rainmaker itself, it's his ability to do them repeatedly"

Normally I don't bother with the house shows, but it's been a minute since the G1 finals and I'm happy to see some of my NJPW wrestlefriends again!! Will probably watch all of tonight's show and catch whatever's good from the 7/9 one

Excited for these:

Juice Robinson and War Machine vs. Bullet Club (GoD and the debut of Leo Tonga)
Elimination Match:CHAOS (Okada, Ishii, YTR, Ospreay, and Rocky) vs. L.I.J

that was the first top to bottom NJPW card I watched since the first night of the G1 and it was pretty dang fun! I mostly had it on English commentary as background noise while I played games but Kushida/Desperado and Funky Future/Suzuki-Gun were both surprisingly rad matches

watching the 10/21 Road to show (the Nagata one) and the 3rd tag match with Titan/Dragon Lee/Tiger Mask/Liger vs Taguchi/KUSHIDA/ACH/Kawato is loving ridiculous on paper but actually fuckin dope, worth a watch

has there been any storyline justification for why KUSHIDA is taking Kawato under his wing? I know he's there to take the pin but I'm still curious.

I kinda don't know what to expect from the tournament itself. KUSHIDA & Kawato are definitely going out round 1, but otherwise I dunno. Roppongi 3K just won the titles and could win the whole thing to look strong as hell, or maybe even lose against Taguchi & ACH in the final to get revenge?

By the way I'm a big fan of Kelly and Callis marking the gently caress out during Jericho's challenge.

Kelly and Callis are pretty good now; I just wish they were a tad less smarky (though they're so much better than e.g. Striker, or a lot of indie commentary) and had more enthusiasm during undercard matches

I really like watching the English streams now though because they do a great job providing context that isn't always obvious, especially in multi-mans with a few angles going on. For as much as NJPW isn't great about having an English-friendly web presence, it definitely seems like they're providing the commentary with a lot of notes
