He kind of seems like an alternate timeline version of EVIL where everything about the character is more or less the same except he's not a goth.

I've chosen my next victim. Cry tears of joy it's not you!

I was extremely uninterested in Oka's gimmick when he first started his excursion but now that he looks like Bobby from The Night Comes For Us I'm all in for this goony motherfucker to come back to New Japan and dominate.

What happened with Kawato anyway? I heard that his excursion's going poorly but don't follow the Mexican scene enough to know details.

He's not very good as a rudo, it took him forever to pick up the flow of a match and he's still not that good at it and for awhile he wasn't catching people on dives.

Until a couple months ago he basically looked lost. The last few weeks he's looked "fine."

Speaking of excursions I suspect Umino is due for one. Wonder if they'll send him to ROH, CMLL or RevPro

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
I'm never terribly enthralled by the Young Lion matches so I usually have another tab open or just skip them if I'm watching after the fact but it's super weird to look back at footage of Naito and Okada as YLs and realize how far they've come, then glance at the current crop and imagine them in 5-6 years as potential champions representing the International Wrestling Grand Prix. Going from plain black trunks young boy Okada to the fuckin' Rainmaker when he came back makes me wonder what someone like Ren Narita or Yuya Uemura is going to be. What a bizarre system.

Your "Hin Ga Nai" style :negative:

e: Oh hey, they finally put the offical subtitles for the WK13 promo videos up... and I feel like even I can do a better translation. I feel like they really need to hire someone who's fluent in both English and Japanese, knows enough about NJPW to write a book or two about it, and has already been involved with the shows... hm.

I love it, mainly because he put Best Boy Pharaoh in as one of his friends.

At the same time Taguchi is hanging out at the pool:

And if you don't recognize THAT pool, you've never watched Japanese porn.
