I'm totally on board. Good to see the thread still alive. Excited for a new season. Best kept secret on television is this show.

Man after tonight's episode I can see why Ricochet was so in demand. Man, he may be the star in a certain promotion but they have completely blown it with him.

Watching Ricochet just now and seeing he's not in this years BOSJ brings tears to my eyes.
If not for AJ, he easily would've been last year's Wrestler of The Year.

Great episode last week with highlights of the Best of the Super Juniors tourny. Richochet looked amazing.

One thing that's not talked about is the chemistry and commentary done by Josh and Mauro.

I really like Josh but I just cannot stand Mauro. Didn't help that he seemed to be taking glee in talking about Benoit/Wild Pegasus last show. Just too smarkish to me.

Young Bucks vs Timesplitters and Ricochet vs Ibushi are on tonight.
I guess it was a misprint for Suzuki/Iizuka vs Yano/Sakuraba. That's good though, Yano and Iizuka are The Local Men of New Japan.

I think that Josh Barnett/Mauro Ranallo are the best commentary pairing in all of pro wrestling. Josh Barnett understands the style and knows the wrestlers well, and Mauro is brilliant at Play-by-play.

Just realized I get AXS. Turned New Japan on, and what's the first thing I see? f***ing Toru Yano. I f***ing hate Toru Yano.

If Yano was technically a good wrestler and able to have legit good matches, then I would be upset about what he does, but given his level of ability, I enjoy seeing his role in New Japan. He's good comedic relief on an overall fairly serious product.
