Now they are replaying Duffereem.
And that was quick.
And now Fujitareem
This too will be quick.
And now Antonio Inoki is Jesus, complete with robes and crucifixion... this totally makes sense.

Tiger Ali Singh and some other turban themed people with swords just showed up. The announcers are very confused. One of them has a fencing Epee.
They gave trubute to a picture of a guy, and then Tiger hit Inoki with a Kendo stick.
HDnet announcers sounding a little confused and racist.
Announcers are now saying that if this goes wrong, they will take out the turban wearers.
Turban guys just left... not sure what just happened. The announcers are even more confused. Inoki is doing a promo now.

I thought that was Tiger Ali Singh, wouldn't the older guy be Tiger Jeet Singh then?

I have no idea what is going on, but this is awesome.
Kikuno just had a violin solo, followed by him entering to We Are the World. Japan is awesome.
Edit: A f***ing Gundam is making it's way to the ring to fight Kikuno
Edit 2: Cancel that, a drag queen behind the Gundam is now being stripped by school girls and is making his way to the ring to fight Kikuno.

They are now kickboxing, obvious Karate Guy vs Kickboxer. They are using 4 oz. gloves. This is dangerous.
Drag queen is getting his ass kicked and very punch drunk. This is a f***ing awesome fight.
Drag queen just hit a bomb. It has evened up.
Now onto the MMA rules round, I hope they put on boxing gloves just for the heck of it.
Karate guy delivering really painful looking surfboarded backmount ground and pound. It's over.

Jerome Le Banner vs. Tim Sylvia in a pro wrestling match. Yes, it appears le Banner will be competing in Boxing gloves.
Le Banner appears to be a pro wrestling champion of some sort despite the boxing gloves.
Le Banner somehow wins a pro wrestling match by punching Tim Sylvia in the back of the head on the ground.
Le Banner remains the... I'm not making this up, IGF Heavyweight Champion.

Fujita is now fighting Peter Aerts in a pro wrestling match. Yes, Aerts is wearing boxing gloves.
Since it's Fujita, Aerts can just kick him in the head, no worries.
Fujita goes out of the ring and gets a 16 count.
Announcers just picked up on Fujita playing the heel. They are still confused.
FUJITA SLAM!
FUJITA HITS A SUBMISSION! Kind of. He hit a Boston Crab and then just fell backwards. Not sure if that was a botch, but Fujita wins ia tapout!

The same IGF Championship that was once the old IWGP Title that Brock Lesnar left New Japan with, then lost it to Kurt Angle when he was TNA Champion, correct?

Please don't let Inoki's freakshows be your first impression, try anything before that.

^My first impression came from a Hustle Hype video, I'm digging this.
Sakuraba and friend coming out in Kabuki Road Warriors gear, to Iron Man.

It was more of a sarcastic question, but I didn't know you were unaware of the title's history, then again, I'm not to familiar with IGF either, but to answer my own rhetorical question, yes that is what the IGF Title is/was, and in another note, it's nice to see Sakuraba in a match that he can't potentially be killed in.

Ah, it's 430 my time, I can't gauge sarcasm. But thanks, that's cool to know. And who knows, Sakuraba may yet break the Muta Scale in this match and... why is that guy an elephant?

No problem, it's 6:30 here, but since I've missed sitting through the entirety of the last two K-1 New Years shows, this is a bit of a treat, since it's more MMA and wrestling than K-1. And who knows, Sakuraba may yet break the Muta Scale in this match and... why is that guy an elephant?It's Japan, that's always MY answer anyway.

And now a disgraced Sumo, who apparently shot on Mark Coleman in a match, the clip they showed had Coleman very swolen.
Sakuraba's in and This is Anarchy!
Not sure Sakuraba remembers the rules of a tag team match.

It's awkward, because you think there can be a shoot at anytime, but at the same time, that makes this awesome, especially since the announcers, sans Schivello, have no pro wrestling knowledge.

It's like watching a football game, but at any moment one of the players could stab the other team's quarterback. I like it! Announcer: I have no idea what is going on. But this is unbelievably entertaining.
