I'm really believing there's gonna be some AEW participants in Best of the Super Juniors, the G1, and World Tag League this year, along with big time matches on some of the year's bigger shows, and this deal is to familiarise those wrestlers with the Japanese audience

What a horrible time for Kenny to be out injured. He still regularly tops the polls for fave gaijin wrestler and could have been a great draw for AEW with NJPW fans. Obviously there's still the Bucks, Hangman, etc that new Japanese fans would be familiar with, but Omega would have been front and centre of all of the promo if he was around, I'd suspect.

Yeah, Shingo wasn't anywhere near my list of possible Japanese commentators they could use for this but he seemed to be pretty well informed about stuff and had a lot to contribute.
Bring him over for a one-shot, please. Maybe actually give us Shingo/Hangman as a singles match?

Translation thread from commentary for the most recent dynamite - commentary by Haruo Murata and Shingo Takagi LOL at Shingo chanting 'EC DUB! EC DUB' when he's shitfaced to the absolute bemusement of Naito and SANADA. That's already made my whole week.

Somehow, I am completely and totally unsurprised that Naito has watched approximately zero US wrestling.
Also, pretty sure Joe used those punches before Shingo even debuted, which is just kind of funny given how Shingo otherwise seems both nostalgic and reverent for all these guys he met back in 2006.

Naito feels about American wrestling what MJF feels about Japanese wrestling.

It'll be interesting to hear what people make of Mox Vs Yuta.

Naito feels about American wrestling what MJF feels about Japanese wrestling. Well that means they make that match happen at some point. Lol

Shingo sounded like he had an absolute blast on commentary.

Is there anything Shingo isn't the best at?
No, because he's the goddamn best!

Honestly I'm curious how many New Japan stars will start watching the AEW Product in some capacity and like... start seeing people they want to have matches with, whether in AEW or in New Japan itself.

Wrestle Universe will also air Takeshita matches from the past and going forward, as well as other TJPW and DDT talent matches that happen in AEW.

Man... it's really cool to see AEW doing in Japan in like a year and a half what WWE tried to do for like... decades? And failed at.
But I guess that's what happens when you have a mutually beneficial relationship and not... well WWE's way of doing shit.

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.
