Add me into the group of liking HIromu/Ospreay but could do without all those unsafe spots. I really would of been just as into the match without having to think about the horrible necks they're gonna have 10 years from now or sooner

On a bullshit ROH card and also their very first one back together is also with Chase Owens, of all people.

If the alignment were different it should have been Chucky T but he's in CHAOS. Would have much preferred Golden Lovers of Low Moral Fiber instead of Chase being thrown in

It was Chuck's plan all along to gently caress Trent up at PWG so he could take his place in New Japan

Hangman is just a question mark to me. I don't have anything against him, I just don't know how good he is.

All the Elite guys think highly of him, and I think Cody said that that Hangman and Flip are on the same level/trajectory it's just that Flip is more annoying beacause he knows just how good he is

More storyline advancement than ROH managed at SoH, even if the result is that the Elite...

... is dead.

Luaghing so hard at Nick doing a sad verson of the plugs at the end of the video

The pacing of the Naito vs. Sazuki match was odd. 90% of the match was real good but was all of Sazuki on offense. Then it ended with a quick burst from Naito, Destino, 123. Naito needed more offense to really make the pin feel right. In the match it just felt sudden.

The blood trickling from Suzuki's nose was a great image.

When I saw people talking about someone being hurt, I thought it was Naitos knee because the sequence after Suzuki had that half crab in the ropes, he was selling so long and awkwardly. But I guess it was just paced weird.

Oh well, one not incredible main event isn't gonna kill New Japan. It's just a testament to how high the standard has been raised lately

The thing that terrifies me the most in Ospreay's matches aren't even the bumps, but his pained screams. Must be something about the pitch, but they really get to me.

The new BTE has a sweet moment from a ROH/NJPW show.


While on the subject, there's a shirt (I've seen Matt and Kenny both wear it) that looks like a fighting game character select screen that has all the members of The Elite available but I've not seen the shirt on PWT or Hot Topic's website. Anybody know where I can find it?

I pretty sure it was a pro wrestling crate exclusive

Also Kenny Omega is throwing a fit on twitter that people are mad at him for booking a pedophile.

It doesn't seem that bad unless he deleted tweets I missed, the main "throwing a fit" post was a response defending to someone who posted a thread basically calling him a hypocrite and not being who he claimed to be in wanting to change the world etc.

Kenny posted a follow up saying that he gave the ring crew the first dark match and didn't know about Rance besides working around him in 2004, and saying he'll do work with people he's familiar with from now on

I'm not saying he's 100% in the right but he just seems like he wasn't in the know with all the madness setting up the show

For people that don't know, he's one of the best European fgc commentators, and also has his own radio show on the biggest UK station. Has a long running jokey feud with Kenny as well as being a massive wrestling nerd in general.

The middle guy is a non-fgc esports commentator, from what one of my friends said, maybe dota or something. Definitely seemed more polished in a broadcast sense than the other two, but still seemed to know his wrestling

Dragon Lee normally bridges it as well. I really wonder if the throw was planned or a mistake.

Didn't someone say it was Dragon Lee's fourth match in two days? Maybe he was just running out of gas and didn't get to bridge like he wanted

I thought that was just Taguchi Japan

Taguchi Japan is just kinda the default babyface locker room stable, this seems like something different. I hope it's something they have a plan for and not just Tana saying stuff in promos. It'd be pretty intersting and shake things up stable wise.

If he caught himself on the ring steps then he probably hosed up his face real good, those things are harder than the Japanese tables. I think it's pretty telling that they got the cameras off him as fast as possible.

I think they keep the steps under the ring except for entrances, so hopefully it was "just" the ring

So i've just signed up for New japan world what 2018 shows should i watch besides WK to sort of catch up on the major stories for this years WK.

Be aware that you'll get charged again at the beginning January, it's just how the billing stuff works in Japan apparently.

Should we put a big flashing notice at the beginning of the thread to wait until the first of the month before signing up unless there's an immediate show to watch.
