Those pants are swag as gently caress, plus they totally changed up how tall Okada looked.

Omega is definitely in Hansen's league in terms of his importance to Puro(even with Meltzer writing them, history's gonna be kind to Omega). He doesn't crossover as much in Japanese Media though. Kenny hasn't had any TV spots or cameos that I'm aware of.

Elgin's (final?) tour includes working with some of the old NJPW hands. Their input on how he carries himself will be considered if they retain him. So unless he turns in 5 star efforts or becomes expert bag carrier/back shaver, don't expect him after this tour.

fave match of the show was Naito/Okada. The build for Jericho/Omega did nothing for me, and honestly, the match bored me. The Never Trios gauntlet was surprisingly good with Trent getting murdered and then coming back to win the drat thing. Kota/Cody surpassed my low expectations because Cody took some burly bumps and NJPW camera dudes were quick to get Brandi's cleavage as much as possible. Loved the tag title match. So much muscle, so much hate. The Juniors stuff was ok, I guess. Young Bucks matches do nothing for me because its nothing but Bucks antics and the other team constantly falling for them. Not contesting the Jr title in a straight up singles match cheapens it imo. Plus Ospreay is liability.

KES owns because they're complete and utter assholes IRL and wrestle exactly the way you'd expect. They're hard hitting big boys that give 0 fucks if you live or die when they hit you. Also Lance Archer is easily owned on twitter, bonus.

SalTheBard posted:I am loving shocked that Okada vs. Naito didn't get 5 stars. I thought that match was great and part of a 5 star match is the crowd reaction and that crowd was on fire for both guys. Agree. Okada/Naito hit all the sweet spots for me. Plus those Okada pants were badass.

Yano is exactly where he needs to be at all times. He's confounded Minoru Suzuki and Kenny Omega into doing the stupidest poo poo imaginable. And possibly one the most impenetrable rollup pins in the history the business.

The Cameo posted:All right, so here's what has happened over the past day since that news came out: As a person that doesn't interact with Japanese culture beyond watching wrestling and major network kid's shows, I'm convinced healthy dating habits aren't in vogue.

flashy_mcflash posted:I'm so here for the Kitamura trial series that it hurts. Is this a thing that New Japan has done in the past with a wrestler they're high on? If they've done this before with anyone and it's on World, I'd like to see it. Inoki's farewell tour where he beat the piss out of various martial artists and tough guys. I'd pull the dates but Cagematch is down for me right now. Everyone should watch Inoki beat the piss out of people, for science or whatever.

St Evan Echoes posted:thank you friend I think it was Marc Maron who watched that during his podcast and commentened over it. if you can find a version with that voice over, its even funnier. I've seen clips of Great Antonio and he does the same schtick where he takes all this abuse from dudes and then does a bodyslam, 1-2-3. The only reason the ref stopped that poo poo was because Antonio was legit KO'd and Inoki still kicked him a few more times. Great piece of wrestling history.

If I remember the timeline right, BJW did something similar with a dive off the balcony and it was much grosser looking. Like overshot the table smack face on ground gross. Venue probably freaked out about that more.
