New Japan had an incredible 2017 and 2018 is already off to a fantastic start. I love you, Gedo, you bizarre man.

Byolante posted:Congrats on pissing off the fans, killing a hot storyline and devaluing the belt all in one fell swoop. I wanted Naito to win too, and I'm sure a significant number of the fans did, but let's not pretend that the crowd didn't pop big for Okada's win. Both guys remain super over and if anything Naito is already doing better than Okada did after his loss to Tanahashi at WK9 saw him go on a losing streak and struggle to beat the likes of Bad Luck Fale. Which in turn reminds me, that show where Okada finally regained his confidence and just DESTROYED Fale was incredibly cathartic. Naito being Tranquilo while Jericho was losing his poo poo last night was also great.

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. Maybe Okada's thinking is,"Well maybe he'll betray me but I've literally ascended to Godhood so what the gently caress can he do?"

dromal phrenia posted:I like Swole Vampire Kitamura too, but every time I see him I think "Vince is going to throw trucks of money to sign this guy" and that will only become more likely if he gets a big push. Quick, everybody send Vince letters and tweets and texts on a variety of subjects, but all of which state somewhere in the body that Kitamura is only 5'6" - if he finds out he's 6 foot then we're dead.

Oh right, this is the Young Bucks show? They (and Kenny?) were really vocal about thinking New Japan should have pushed for a bigger venue in America, right?

Jericho/Omega definitely deserved that 5 Stars. Also it goes to show how amazing Okada has been this last year that I'm disappointed his match "only" got 4.5

The Cameo posted:"Cold" in Tokyo is ridiculously temperate if you're from anyplace where snow's on the ground for several months of the year. I'm pretty sure all of those attractions are open, just to differing times depending on like if it's a holiday or whatnot. Yeah, I'd have to wear a coat when I went outside but if the sun was out I'd get pretty warm, and I have basically zero tolerance for cold. I understand their summers are pretty unbearably hot though?

Baron Corbyn posted:you can get to both Disney parks easily by public transport in Tokyo and Fuji-Q Highland if you're extra dedicated for a day trip. Yeah I took the chance to go to Disney and ride Space Mountain (not loving Ric Flair, that was an unrelated side activity) and it was easy as hell to get there. The train system in Japan is crazy good.

What that rundown fails to mention is that after Okada and Yoko Mori broke up, as Mori was walking away in the rain Gedo came out and started cutting a promo on her about not being good enough for the Rainmaker.
