Ignoring his Seth class twitter game is TJP better in NJPW?

Ignoring the fact that he’s an ignorant jerk on Twitter, yeah, he’s more grounded. But I hope Rocky stiffs him into next week. Once you decide that social distancing is a socialist plot, I think it’s time to stop ignoring your Twitter game.

Yup, just went up. Looks like they put the whole thing up rather than running it like a live show.

Smaller ring than normal?

I think so. Pretty swank looking space, though, I was expecting a gym.

Nice transition into the submission there.

That last suplex was very muscular! Also there’s nothing more wholesome right now than cleaning supply commercials. Good example, young lions.

TJP is the heel team. :colbert:

That’s a decent dropkick. I mean, Cobb's not tall but still.

Oh poo poo. Does Karl know KENTA is in the US? Like, he could get to LA.

This week’s card is up: https://www.njpw1972.com/tornament/76029?showCards=1

Rust Taylor vs. The DKC, 15 minute time limit
TJP vs. Danny Limelight, 20 minute time limit

That’s some man bun. Also, that’s some boa.

It’s a couple beats slower than I’d like it to be, and the strikes aren’t strong, but stylistically I like it.

Over/under on the number of seconds of offense TJP will give Danny?

Thanlis

Yeah, that wasn’t awesome but they can’t all be. Next week has potential.

Episode 3 lineup:

Misterioso & The DKC vs Karl Fredericks & Clark Connors (15 minute time limit)
‘Filthy’ Tom Lawlor vs Rocky Romero (20 minute time limit)

Promising.

Well I’m glad Fredericks isn’t abandoning his former Young Lion pals.

Thanlis

Connors has very bad situational awareness. “Wait was there a thump?”

Yes! Sponge!

This isn’t flowing so well for me, feels awkward. Maybe Lawler is working too light.

Edit: I think Lawler is making his escapes look too easy, it’s keeping the rest of Rocky's moves from being threatening.

It's okay, but I am surprised that I found the opening tag far more enjoyable both from an in-ring AND storyline perspective.

Lawlor getting to work hoss is kind of fun.

Yeah, it’s not that Lawlor's bad or anything. Kind of a squash, which I didn’t expect from the main event.

I’m digging the MMA feel; this meshes way better than last week's match.

Thanlis

That was what it was.

Thanlis

Clark, you’re too young to compete with sneaky style. Oh man I love the spot where someone refuses to let go of the submission.

Edit: OW.

That was a fun match. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Taylor.

I didn’t expect TJP to wind up with the best record! Really interesting to see where they’re going. Also I hadn’t heard anything about more tapings, but California is still allowing TV production last I looked.

Anyhow, that was a great hour. Only one match I didn’t much enjoy and a bunch of good stuff. The LA Dojo kids are really good.
