The first time I saw Brodie Lee was for Dragon Gate USA in Indianapolis in front of like 100 fans. It was so obvious that he was going to be a big star someday.

the first time i saw brodie lee he took my chair and went after necro butcher with it at an roh show that ended with police storming the venue and gabe sapolsky losing his job

:hfive:

that match really loses a lot without the context of the rest of bosj before it but its still really good on its own, was in my top 3 for njpw matches last year

I disagree with Naito/Hiromu because having your three most important titles in the same match at WK just doesn't seem sensible. Naito/Ospreay could work really well if you want a high flier against Naito. With Okada/Moxley as the semi-main. Hiromu can defend against one of the Bullet Club juniors (as much as I love ELP, Ishimori is probably the better fit)

they have like two hundred belts you can do hw vs jr hw with no problem to the rest of the card.

Hmm....felt wrong.


EVIL's a really good wrestler. I'm not a Naito fan, but I don't know about this move. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Hey guys, giving it a shot tonight.

Still unsure how i feel about EVIL as champ. Prefer it some to Naito but time will tell for me.

Dieseltaker attire works for his look I think. Definitely better than his Dominion gear.

I was going to srs argue against that post but it was maybe an offhand thing

like I tie hiromu/Taiji at no offense around the same. theyre both dank. but that's first 2. so BUSHI is better than Naito or Evil???

I had Evil as 5th best here tonight.

1. Hiromu
2. BONE SOLDIER
3. BUSHI
4. Dick Togo
5. Evil
6. Red Shoes Unno

this thread really hates EVIL lol

I guess this is my first time experiencing it in real time

I don't hate him, I just didn't enjoy the match in which he won the championship. I think his defense against Hiromu will probably be really good and a strong candidate for the best match of his IWGP HW title run if it lasts through the new year.

Shingo should be the one to dethrone EVIL sometime next spring.

yea its all good. more of a dislike for him MEing I guess

watching ishimori v hiromu now lol

i dont think its necessarily a dislike, just an apprehension since his match+aligning with bullet club caught a lot of fans off guard.


i am definitely intrigued by this BC setup and will likely tune in to the next show to watch things unfold.


it's too bad the G1 isn't starting in a couple weeks :smith:

plus, Wait and See at least pays off in NJPW, even if it isn't the result that people want, they usualy follow through

I fully expect EVIL to have better matches during his title run than Naito had during either of his.

just finished.



that main event was frustrating, which is not a word i thought i would use for a hiromu takahashi match.



Shingo delivered tho.

STING 64
Oct 20, 2006

its largely because its not the type of main event match structure we expect or want out of new japan.

Oct 20, 2006

i thought we were on the pathway to that when Kushida vs Hiromu went like 90 seconds but then it turned out to be because of a massive concussion :(

Has NJPW ever done a cage match?

i don't believe they have. in fact when TNA was bringing in Liger in either 06 or 07, Liger called it off when he learned it was a Cage Match because he had never done one before and didn't want to take the risk of doing it for a non-Japanese company.
