New Japan Discussion Thread 2

[________ has left the building]

New Japan going to have to come up with new young boy finishes for those hosses because no one is going to buy Captain New Japan or YOSHI HASHI beating those dudes with a Boston crab. NJPW is taking the "WWE Nippon" plan to the next level with those beasts. The Japanese Hoss Arms race is back on.

Also NEVER returns on February 25th under a new name. The shows will be called Lion's Gate.

11 hours, 34 minutes from the time of this post.

So is the show online only? I wanted to buy through DirecTV again, but it isn't on there.

Yeah it's online on New Japan World only, they opted not to go for PPV this year's show due to it taking place on Monday.

Edit: Tonga has grown a chip on his shoulder as during the Festival conference he cut a promo, tired of being forgotten about and overlooked and vowing at the that he would win gold.

I'll have to wait then, my internet is garbage.

Any word on how The Briscoes did on Happy Smile Super Challenge Family Wish Show?

For the past week and a half or so, I've suddenly had problems with buffering with the on-demand content. Today, I had buffering watching the set-up of the ring live, even when I watched in low quality.

I have always used chrome browser. I tried watching some things on the firefox browser and I didn't get buffering. I am going to try using firefox and hoping for the best.

My body is ready.

I'm thinking about doing New Japan show/match reviews from 1985-on. Any interest in reading them?

I'd definitely enjoy it.

[Lupin the Third]

So I just watched Nakamura/Styles from Wrestle Kingdom 10. Holy shit, that was amazing.

[chrom]

New Year's Dash starts soon, given what's happened, a lot of developments and announcements will be happening it looks like.

Anyone else think Cheeseburger might be sticking around in Japan for a bit? Liger adores him and the crowd at the Dome seemed to enjoy him. He might stay there and train there at The Dojo.

Yes. I was actually coming in here to post that I recently did reviews of the entire G1 Climax 24 and am working on the G1 Climax 23 right now (up to day two and Nakamura vs. Suzuki).

Would anyone wanna see those? I also have reviews of WK9, Dominion 2013 and KOPW 2013.

Here's my topic. One match already up: Tiger Mask VS Kobayashi from January '83. Now watching the great Choshu VS Fujinami match from April '83. Or, how rivalries aren't that difficult to create. Especially if they're based on reality.
