So in the near future we could have freelancer Suzuki defending an roh title in aew against a DDT wrestler showing on njpw world (and wrestle universe).
Really interesting that DDT and tjpw wrestlers will get more exposure to japanese njpw fans via aew.

So I’d imagine a lot of the Japanese commentary will be given by guys who usually do the STRONG shows in Japanese. Basically, all the Dads will get a turn(Nagata, Kojima, Makabe, etc.) Tanahashi, and Liger. I’m expecting a ton of Liger. I would love to see Okada or Naito get a turn. Or one of the LA Dojo guys (Goto, Shibata). But especially Okada and Naito, one because of how much of the roster he knows, the other because he really, really doesn’t care about US wrestling…. And might hate Jeff Hardy.

And might hate Jeff Hardy. That would be amusing. For those that don’t know, in 2011 Jeff Hardy defended the TNA Heavyweight Championship against Tetsuya Naito at the Tokyo Dome in a match that should have been awesome but, unfortunately, Jeff came into the match high as a kite to the clear irritation of Naito. This lead to an absolute dud of a match. It was a moment that spelled the end of the then working relationship between TNA and New Japan.

Not just Jeff, Rob Van Dam was doped up as well at that show.

Was this before or after the infamous Jeff Hardy vs. Sting match at Victory Road?

Even with a prescription. I travelled once to Japan and bought a few box of maple cookies from my stop in Canada. I knew the borde in Japan was strict so I was naturally nervous I would f*** up something. The guy checking my luggage just grabs one of my cookie box and asks" what are these for?" I reply they are from my stop and he just stares me,point at the box and says " These...are really delicious" The jerk almost made me think I was gonna be arrested for contraband of cookies! The point is I can't imagine having the capacity of bringing or buying drugs to Japan

Even with a prescription. I'm on two anti-depressants (not Prozac) and a thyroid pill. Are you saying that if I ever go on vacation into Japan, I'd have to track down a shady clinic in Sangen-jaya to get that prescribed medicine?

So, is it possible to watch AEW on New Japan world in the US?
I REALLY want to start keeping up with AEW, but there are just no affordable ways to do it for me.

Shingo posted that he watched Rampage from last week, calling it "inspiring." I would assume that will be up on NJPWWorld soon, as I see this week's Dynamite was already delivered to those in Japan.
