otherwise they are very fun DVDs. it was what sold me on Ishii, he is an in-ring tough guy.

Matches commentated by Yano, Gedo, and Yano's dad. Why would you skip that?

Honorable mention to Desperado. His delivery has a great villainous vibe to it that's hard to describe.

gently caress, even Kanemaru is growing on me. His complete lack of personality is on a different wavelength than SANADA's and it works for me.

KES's shouty foreigner shtick doesn't do it for me but the rest of Suzukigun really is great on interviews.

Today's preview match for Okada/Tanahashi was something else. Okada completely no sold Tana's offense, tombstoned him on the floor while laughing, kept Taguchi in the cobra clutch for a bit after the match was over, performed some acrobatics to show off that he didn't even break a sweat and then tried to tombstone Tana's corpse on the floor again before the young lions broke it up. Chuckie T really turned him into a no good scoundrel.

White/Finlay is up next

And tonight we got Tanahashi getting a measure of revenge, then in the post match staring at Okada laying on the floor at ringside and...going back into the ring to show that he's the better man. With Okada walking away in a camera shot that evokes the memory of him slinking away crying after losing to Tana at WK9.

This build is so good.

When Okada was naming the guys he beat, the translator that night made it seem like Okada didn't want to fight Kenny again after the draw ("Kenny... don't want to do that again" is what the translator went with rather than just "Kenny... draw" like the video) which made it seem a bit odd when Okada calls Kenny out right after.

How do you do sports (adjacent) translation and not know what 引き分け means?

He came in with no special attributes but a strong work ethic and drive to improve, so definitely just a better fit for NJPW.
