Wrestling Thread June 5th-30th/TGIF Edition/G1 Special In US Saturday 8PM ET Okada vs Cody

This isn't WWE we are talking about here.

New Japan usually does the right thing.

No need to hope when someone has a proven track record of making the right choice.

I don't have total faith in any professional wrestling promotion

They are already doing things that I don't like in order to pull in Americans

I definitely see Naito or Ibushi main eventing in the dome with Okada next year. Preferably Naito as champion and Okada as the G1 winner. Nice change little change up.

You shouldn't have TOTAL faith in anything/anybody.

But if someone has a track record with handling TITLE SWITCHES and MAIN PROGRAMS correctly, not sure why there is a need to HOPE for anything.

The things you named are clearly done with Western Expansion in mind. NOT main programs (Clearly)

Don't blame you. It's going to get Americanize to cater to people who grew up on WWE.

That will be the death of the Western Expansion.

American fans don't want to go watch a American/Japanese hybrid when they go see a NJPW show.

Good luck NJPW
 
Watch Billy vs. Tanahashi actually be really good. Saw Billy work last year with Lance Archer and dude can still go. He's a big *** dude forreal.
 
Really hope Omega v Ibushi doesn't end up being a throwaway match with no fanfare in the G1

Do we have any confirmation that Ibushi is back with NJPW long term? I could see Kota doing Kota things and only signing on to do the G1 and nothing else after that (like the CWC). If thats the case, i wouldnt be mad at a Ibushi/Omega Block Final.
 
someone needs to put me on NJPW...i know very little stuff and wrestlers but not basically nothing lol

how to watch matches and get update stuff :nerd:

YTube has some but New Japan has there own service like the network. You can also find stuff on watchwrestling and DailyMo.

good starter matches that are recent are AJ v Swagsuke, Naito v Anybody really, but his Omega/Shibata/Tanahashi's are all really great. Okada v Omega 1+2, Shibata v Okada was good as well minus the headbutt heard round the world. That is mostly heavyweights.

best of Super Juniors had some great matches too, including Hiromu v Dragon Lee, Dragon Lee v Kushida, Kushida v Ospreay, and if you love flippy stuff, Ricochet v Ospreay 2.
 
Maybe the second turnbuckle. The top tho naw okada will die

Right? dude keeps wanting to see a broken neck. I asked him the first time when he said top rope one winged had he not seen the top rope dragon suplex?!

He got it through a table, what more do you want.

That dragon suplex was wreckless and not needed. I was legit shook.

Get on the NJPW reddit and search for AXS. There's a guy posting Dailymotion links to all the weekly axs broadcasts. Start from G1 last year and work all the way to present day.

Not sure

He might be under contract solely as Tiger Mask W for all I know
