I also noticed that sometimes both DDT, NJPWworld and We Are Stardom struggle when I'm using Safari to watch. Not really sure what's up with that.

SalTheBard posted:There is another Goon I watch NJPW with and he loves Yano. I just can't get into him. I like him because the only thing he brings to the table is being able to gently caress with anyone. He's not like a WWE style heel that only knows "powder during babyface fire" and "look vaguely confused while brutalizing a babyface." More like the old school memphis/southern style heels that knew just the right trick at the right time.

SalTheBard posted:I'm willing to give this a shot. I have NJPW World. What are 3 Toru Yano matches that I should watch? His matches against Suzuki are the best. Suzuki literally tries everything short of bringing a chainsaw and he always ends up short against YTR. If you've got the cash, I strongly suggest importing the YTR VTRs and grabbing the english subtitles. You find out super important facts about CHAOS's history and Ishii's love of big tits.

Fale could beat up Jinder. And if Fale can't gently caress him up, he's got a posse of overly caffeinated tongans down the road that'll finish the job.

Solus posted:as someone who works closely with him, he's working out like a mad oval office to lose weight I'm pretty happy with his matches. He moves like a very large man which is what I expect. I mean its cool when big dudes do flips and crossfit fighting but there's something to be said about a guy that moves like he's the gravitational object the universe bends around.

The latest Kairi Hojo/Toni Storm match is well worth a month's sub imo for Stardom. Then you'll discover Kris Wolf promos and stay for life. Their roster is super thin but bolstered by a rotating array of gaijin so there's always fresh matches. Or if you wanna watch two tiny japanese women hit each other full force, they got you covered for that as well.

Reminder that Misawa was still turning in A+ main events right up until his death. Okada is on that track but not there just yet. We will see how he fares as the injuries start to limit his mobility.

So I wanted to get something that would let me watch NJPW(and other stuff) on my TV that didn't require me lugging an HDMI capable laptop or fighting with Chromecast or Airplay. So I did some digging and came up with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071Y4KBZ9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 its ASUS Chromebit. USB stick sized computer running Chrome OS. I got a little bluetooth keyboard+mouse(size of a remote) but I'm not really enamored with it(needs a scroll wheel and the touchpad isn't sensitive enough), so I won't link it. Because Chrome OS is pretty locktight, it freaks out NJPW World's browser detection, even though everything is HTML5 now. So you need to add this browser extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher It lets you emulate other browsers, satisfying NJPW World's junk. The only other streaming service I've tried is Stardom and it works awesomely. Stardom, NJPW World and DDT World all share the same backend content dealie so they all should work with setup.

I think Okada's the exception to the rule. My understanding was when he returned from TNA he was PISSED, cut a big promo and that really impressed GEDO. PLus being an absolute physical specimen really helps too.
