It's way to early to give up on Jay or to call for an immediate gimmick change but Tana going over was still the right call as he's just not at that level rn.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Hey, if anybody does this, can I get a guide to hooking up NJPWWorld to Chromecast on my TV? Thinking of making the switch from Roku If you primarily use a full cumputer web browser for World like i do: Super easy, just use the Chrome browser to watch whatever video you want and hit the chromecast icon that will appear as part of the video control UI when your cursor highlights the video. for mobile: you have to download the NJPW World app first. The slightly confusing part is that you don't browse World through the app. Browse the site through your mobile browser of choice and the app is used to to help cast from it.

i still think the main event booking was dumb and this would've been perfect if jericho had attacked okada at NYD instead, but NYD was handled about as well as reasonably possible if you accept the Dome booking as a given.

KungFu Grip posted:Jay White said he's gonna turn on Okada and Chaos whenever he gets a chance and take the IWGP title. Okada is dumb as gently caress. Kenny Omega on New Year's Dash basically said "Our stable is plagued by infighting, let's add the rear end in a top hat loner to establish unity!" Jay White must exude some sort of aura that turns the stable leaders into complete morons.

With basically all the top guys except Naito off those cards I realize they may look less compelling than prior years but give them a chance. Many of those CMLL guys are outstanding and if you don't watch CMLL it's a good way to discover them without the elements of CMLL (weird tag rules and bad referees) many find confusing or off putting.

becuase it's not really important and they wanted a feel good moment where they paid tribute to takayama. Suzuki's one of the only guys they have who's a true heel and was set to important match so they couldn't use him.

27th-28th of this month is gonna be grueling as dave's been moaning about. 27th is the first Sapporo show and NXT Takeover, and the second half of the doubleshot and the Rumble is on the 28th. I've mostly stopped watching wwe but even i'll make exceptions for the top ppvs and takeovers.

The expats can and have gone into more detail esp on his economic policy, but he's a right-wing militarist who has shown little regard for civil liberties and has walked back previous governments' stances on WWII era war crimes. https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/03/abe-nippon-kaigi-japan-far-right - this gives more info on the school others have mentioned as well as other stuff like his Ministry of Education ordering textbook publishers to omit mentions of certain WWII-era war crimes. Inoki -upper house of Diet (analogous to US Senate) Hase - elected to the upper house n the 90's and he's been in the lower house (so their House equivalent) since 2000. Had a short stint in Abe's cabinet as Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Onita - elected to the upper house, eventually forced to resign due to a sex scandal Great Sasuke - elected to Iwate's Prefectural Assembly (so basically like a state rep/senator. I think the prefectural assemblies are unicameral?) Ran for governor of the same prefecture in 2007 but lost. And yes, he wore his mask on the job. There was a fairly notable joshi wrestler who was in the National Diet as well, but I can never remember what her name is. Thauros fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Jan 14, 2018 |

looks like they didn't sell the upper deck at all, which I think was also the case last year. It'll be interesting to compare the attendance for the split shows with weaker cards thsi year compared to last year's pretty stacked sapporo show. NJPW "THE NEW BEGINNING IN SAPPORO ~RESURRECTION!

Yuji Nagata, Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima besiegen Yoshitatsu, Henare & Tomoyuki Oka (7:48) nach dem Nagata Lock von Nagata gegen Oka. 3. Will Ospreay, Jado & Gedo besiegen Katsuyori Shibata, Jushin Thunder Liger & Tiger Mask (6:47) nach dem Os Cutter von Ospreay gegen Tiger. 4.

Hiroshi Tanahashi, Michael Elgin, Manabu Nakanishi, Ryusuke Taguchi & Dragon Lee CMLL (Mexiko) besiegen Tetsuya Naito, SANADA, "King of Darkness" EVIL, Hiromu Takahashi & BUSHI (13:03) nach dem Desnucadora von Lee gegen BUSHI. 6.
