GEORGE W BUSHI posted:By the way, a rumour I've heard from multiple sources in the past few days is that NJPW is running MSG again. Alone. gently caress yes  Meltzer was talking recently about how weirdly fixated on WWE the MSG people are. When AAA failed to sell much in the way of tickets they apparently came to the conclusion that ONLY WWE is capable of filling the place... in spite of the fact WWE also struggled to sell tickets there, while the New Japan and ROH show sold out almost instantly.

Kaveman posted:He's only just turned 27. I knew we talk about it a lot, but seriously it's amazing how young some of the talent in New Japan is. Yeah there are guys in their late 30s, but top guys like Okada and Switchblade still have like a decade or more of high level wrestling ahead of them barring disaster, and you've got the current crop of Young Lions coming up but also all the guys currently out on excursion who will be back in the next year or two. There's such great depth and future potential it's kinda crazy.

Jay does fantastic stuff like using a ref bump as an excuse to take out somebody with a chair shot, but then rather than just pinning them he'll insist on putting them into his TTO so that the ref will call it as Switchblade winning by making his opponent pass out from the pain. Just to be an extra dick.

Just watched Suzuki's post-match comments after WK14 Night 2. He just walks into the press room, kicks over a chair, says he got tired waiting for "Jon Boy" to come for him so he did it first, declares he's going to kill him, flips the table and walks out. It's loving amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdVlGSySQt8&t=427s

I'd rate Jericho/Tanahashi higher than that but other than that it seems pretty spot on to me.

forkboy84 posted:I always find it so funny that New Japan come out of the hottest show of the year and go straight into a tour which is practically non-canon. It's bold as hell. I love that apparently the Luchas all love coming over because they do big merch sales from the New Japan fans who are excited to see different people wrestling  \Edit: drat these guys are smooth in the ring. THAT SUBMISSION FINISH!

Chris James 2 posted:Dave said Shibata tried to get cleared, they looked at the results of his tests and bluntly said he’s never getting cleared That's a shame but I'm really glad that they're not risking anything. Also we'll always have that perfect couple of minutes when he showed up and just beat KENTA's rear end while the crowd and the people watching online all around the world screamed and wept with joy.

HidaO-Win posted:The Tanahashi breeding program is a noble endeavour requiring 100-1000 offspring to have a chance at expressing some of the traits of the once in a hundred year talent. Everyone has to do their best. This article but replace "Tortoise" with "Tanahashi" and "island" with "New Japan Pro Wrestling"
