This week's free NJPW match on YouTube is Vader/Stan Hansen, the infamous match where Vader gets his eye poked out.

I never actually saw this before but for some reason I just assumed it happened off-camera or whatever before Vader covered it up. I was, uh, wrong. :stonk:

I'm relatively new to DDT myself so don't take this as gospel. The champion, Irie recently returned to the company and is on a crusade to make DDT more serious and be taken more seriously abroad. At the moment there are five gauntlets in circulation that can be cashed in like money in the bank on him (HARASHIMA, Tetsuya Endo, Meiko Satomura have one and Hiratimo Dragon has two)


holy poo poo i didn't know my boy shiggy was DDT champ
i saw him on his young boy excursion, touring small town Canada with Chase Owens, ACH and a 500 pound guy named Big Chief who couldn't get into the ring

e: Big Chief was the most over guy on the show

Agree. "SCU!" is a killer catchphrase. It pains me they aren't on the Cow Palace show because having them cut a promo on the bay area live would be epic.

'sup CWE bro

My town had a guy in the crowd referring to Shiggy as ninja turtle, and the heel (Colton) actually turned to the guy who said that and said "Man don't make this about race" while holding onto a chinlock

Think there's going to be any chance of the Suzuki anniversary show getting online anywhere? Didn't seem like it was a NJPW thing, and I'm not sure if it was even recorded.

Believe this is the big one from Sumo Hall and one of the last ones (or the last big one) they did. It's mandatory viewing in case no one's ever seen it.

It feels weird to call a match ahead of its time but the fact it happened in 1983 is mind blowing

That series is a big reason for smaller wrestlers getting the breaks they did and Tiger Mask helped change the style overall a great deal.

If they need to stay on the West Coast they might be able to sell out in Seattle. Key Arena is probably too big though.

I'll be there since I'm local, but I've got to think it's time to try a different market and spread the love a bit. September is tough for fly ins too with All In and a really cool looking BOLA line up (assuming they go closer to capacity at Globe and draw north of 3k for the weekend).
