AJPW,NOAH, and Joshi stuff are kinda hard to get in my experience NJPW has been really great lately, King of Pro Wrestling was PPVOTY. 3 god tier matches in a row. I think its worth subscribing to njpwworld to support puroresu https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5rK95X3mRiiSDNvTnQ0aUhWODg just gonna leave this link here

I am a Bullet Club mark so seeing them get to do anything is great. Since AJ left Kenny has just become a great star. It's kind of hard to take him seriously when he tries to be intimidating with that high pitch voice and canuckistani accent, but his shit talking is always a blast. I love watching him address the crowds in English knowing they have no idea what he is saying. I wish Gallows and Anderson would go back. They, along with the crippled Balor, are wasted on the WWE. I honestly think about training in Pro-wrestling sometimes just so I could have a chance to work and hang out with the Club. Listening to their stories and seeing how much fun they have together seems like such a blast. Takahashi's matches are fun as fuck to watch and his eye candy is always appreciated. They are the most fun group to watch in all of professional wrestling today.

>>32206 I used to be in the same place but I cant stand kenny as a top guy, his selling is silly and he leaves a bad taste in my mouth with his shit talking. What really killed the BC for me was the young bucks, they make me want to stop watching and theyre one of the main reasons i dont watch ROH. Seeing AJ do well really does feel good though. I really hope Kenny doesnt main event tokyo dome, I feel goto or naito would be much better and they could do a better angle with the history those two have with okada and IWGP belt G&A really do need to come back though, GoD are fucking garbage.

>>32211 Kenny's whole vibe is that of the school bully's sidekick who tries to take over once his boss is gone. Everyone else in the group just goes along with it because they kinda miss the old dude and they don't want everything to break apart. So they pander to his bullshit for the sake of staying together and he cluelessly doesn't realize no one takes him seriously. I think it is pretty fun. GoD are trash. Do we really have to see boring island niggers in every promotion? Samoa Joe is okay, but I really can't think of another current pacific islander wrestler that doesn't bore the ever living fuck out of me. Fale is boring, but he serves his purpose as BC's resident big as fuck dude and serves as a decent counterpoint to Elgin. Speaking of Elgin his knee is looking all sorts of fucked up since the destruction series. You think he is going to take a break soon?

>>32212 Never mind he evidentially fractured his orbital bone on Sunday and is out. I didn't think that drop kick was that bad. At least this will give him a chance to let his knee heal.

>>32213 The "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin was broken

Haven't seen any Japanese wrestling at all, any recommendations on where to start?

>>32274 The old classics. Dynamite Kid vs Tiger Mask. Kenta Kobashi matches, Mitsuharu Misawa matches, Great Muta matches, Hashimoto matches, Danshoku Dino matches, and Yoshihiko Matches.

>>32274 getting into NJPW would be pretty easy, just start from this year's tokyo dome match and move forward jap commentary is better

>>32289 >Goto will never win the big one

>>32290 >Choking specialist.

>>32293 >>32300 I only saw one Goto match in which he beat Nakamura for the intercontinental championship.

>>32301 He had some pretty good g1 matches this year you should probably check out Also his new japan cup matches

Who is the best heel stable/unit in wrestling, & why is it VerserK?

>>33528 ¿なに?

>>33529 los ingobernables are so great because the group elevated every single person in it. Do you remember Watanabe in RoH? He was the most bland motherfucker imaginable. Naito never really got over with the fans until he turned tranquilo Bushi is still kinda shit but hes atleast good with interferences and has jr title as of now Sanada is going to be held back by ingobernables eventually, hes top babyface material and hes probably getting tanahashi's spot once he retires

>>33531 I like Sanada's run on TNA, but honestly he is a pretty generic face. As has a certain menacing charisma as a heel that works exceptionally well in los ingobernables. As for Evil I was rewatching some older RoH matches the other day ago and even Kevin Kelly was clowning on Watanabe's exploratory run in the US. For what it is worth he was able to learn what worked and what didn't so by the time he returned to Japan he was able to completely reinvent both his image and style. Once he refines his character a little more and emphasizes his brawling style he will be able to show his true potential. Naito always had the talent, the ring ability and everything a wrestler could want, but he lacked the look and something personal. The New Japan crowd saw that and didn't cared about him. Another example of a Japanese star learning something overseas and reinventing themselves for the better. Suddenly, he didn't care about the fans, but they did. Everything he does has a meaning. He goes out of his way taking his time for his entrance just to upset people and bullying the referee or the commentators to get heat. It's the little touches that put him over. LIJ managed to find a way to get themselves over by reinventing and reimagining themselves. Sanada might be able to make a face turn, but if he does LIJ will still figure prominently.

>>33536 I agree with you completely man, but I feel the crowd will turn Sanada eventually and he cant remain in the heel group and keep that turn going. I never saw any of Sanada in TNA but i think the language barrier might have gotten in the way of him connecting with the crowd a bit more/being less generic EVIL is probably the most improved wrestler of the year IMO, the neveropenweight title picture is a perfect place for him to be with his style. He needs to quit with the lasers though, that shit just looks lame

>>33537 It was translated. The thing was it was just really generic face statements. Stuff like >I work hard >I want to do my best >I want to win clean and prove that I have talent and strength Like look. Those are pretty generic statements. You can pull off that kind of thing if you are Dusty Rhodes and give a speech about how that relates to all of us and our struggles to find security and happiness in a world governed by the capricious winds of chance. You can connect to the audience on a deeper and more personal level and elevate even the most mundane of observations into an enlightened critique of mankind's futile struggle against a cold and uncaring world to find purpose and dignity. That can come through in translations. But Sanada was no Dusty Rhodes and his inability to articulate anything other than the most shallow and vacuous statements will never win an audience. It's even worse when you can't sell it as genuine pathos. Even in his native tongue he delivered it without any force of personality or conviction. For what it is worth the things he learned over the last two years and the mentorship he has received has help him mature into a much finer performer. He managed to redefine himself through his current character, and in doing so learned how to assert his character. With some more experience I think he will be able to turn, however I do firmly believe that it will involve the rest of LIJ and will create long term story lines.

I just saw this and thought it was interesting. Evidentially for the newest installment of the Yakuza series, Ryū ga Gotoku 6: Inochi no Uta, NJPW wrestlers Hiroshi Tanahashi, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Kazuchika Okada, Satoshi Kojima, Tetsuya Naito and Toru Yano will be appearing as the members of the gang Justis.

Where's my Ishii's single matches Gedo?

>>34678 Shit. It's raining. ;_;

>>34685 only io is confirmed for leaving as of now, kairi could take that ace position when io leaves.

looks like the time bomb wasHIV

>>34697 Meltz confirmed they're both coming.

>>34744 WTF? That bitch at the bottom has nostrils on the front of her face like a pig.

>>34761 Don't bully Mayu!

Is anyone else a little weirded out that there are now two Tigermasks in NJPW?

>>34796 i dont think Tiger Mask W is going to be a longrunning thing since kota hates contracts

>>34739 SANADA and Tanahashi had a really good match.

>>34763 Why am I not surprised this piggy is named Mayo?

>>35098 Stop it!

Does anybody else hate yoshi hashi? Hes got the worst look in the company and he keeps making that stupid face in every promo pic. For some reason, his selling never clicks with me and he comes off as selfish in the ring. Hes improved since last year but i just hate his fucking face. lets not forget his nickname roughly translates to diarrhea

>>35158 I like him.

>>35158 He is not bad, bue he is not good either. I never liked his Sun Wukong gimmick, and his nickname makes no sense, but his ringwork is acceptable. He needs to go full retard with his gimmick like KING OF DARKNESS EVIL or change it to something else.

>>35162 His ringname is just his surname presented with latin characters and a hyphen between where the two kanji that make it up would be. Personally I don't like him much but he did get Sanada over for me. His G1 Climax performance was shit though and he didn't deserve that match at Destruction. Speaking of Sanada did anyone else really like his Power Struggle match? The handshake shit was weird but the second half of the match was exciting as fuck.

>>35163 Sanada and Tanahashi always have great matches, it feels like theres actual competition between them. Sanada's G1 match with Tana got him over with me, his moonsaults looked so violent and the upset win was great. His look/theme are really cool too. He just needs to lose the DK hair

>be me >Try watching NJPW/RPW Global Wars UK 2016 >Can't take it seriously because the commentators sound so fruity with they faggy little accents that it breaks immersion and makes the entire thing laughable It's bad when you can't even enjoy a Jushin Thunder Liger match because you have to listen to two mincing little nancy boys. It's no wonder the mudslimes think they can conquer bongland when everyone there talks like a fag.

>>35756 I know right? Brits in current year talk like fucking sissies, when i watch a revpro match i just mute the shit.

>>35773 They are fucking sissies.

>>35782 Can they be saved?

>>35783 Only if they embrace the way of the burger.

so the full WrestleKingdom11 card is out >New Japan Rumble >Tiger Mask vs Tiger the Darkwith ACH as tiger the dark >RPG Vice vs Young Cucks >a never 6 man title match with a fuckload of people >Juice Robinson vs Cody (Rhodes) >Adam Cole vs Kyle O'Reilly >GBH VS GOD >Kamaitachi vs Kushida >Goto vs Shibata >Tanahashi vs Naito >Omega vs Okada thoughts? it seems pretty good but theres a lot of people who should have had singles matches that are stuck in tag team/rumble bullshit i know some of you fucks watch NJPW

>>39972 >ishii in a clusterfuck match It's like i'm watching wwe.

>>39972 WK10 is a hard act to follow but this card might be close. Naito vs. Omega at G1 was MOTY.

Reminder that it's that time of year, The Great Space War will soon be happening again it happens on the 15th but it airs on the 24th, hopefully it gets uploaded quickly

>>39983 here's a link to last years match if you haven't seen it before: http://www.veoh.com/watch/v98698728qrmZx4e6

>>39985 >>39983 People like this have made a mockery of this damn business

>>39972 Tiger Mask IV or Tiger Mask W? Also Omega/Okada and Tanahashi/Naito should be good matches. I expect Omega to loose the title. Kamaitachi/Kushida could be a good match, but we will have to wait and see.

>>40139 Tiger Mask W (ibushi) >>40117 T R A N Q U I L O

Ishii is best husbando!

>>40175 >based ishii doesnt have a singles match at WK11

all the yearly tokyo dome shows on njpwworld are free btw

http://njpwworld.com/c/t_0000_2016_40 NJPW are really trying to push their subscription service and compete with WWE eventually. Exciting to see what kind of shit they pull to try to get western audiences in.

Did they?

>>44042 I love that "my feet hurt, I want to go home" expression Naito always has.

>>40117 I don't disagree. He probably has a better shot at endearing himself to western audiences than Okada does.

>>44042 yesi bet Naito opened up her asshole like he opens up his eye

>>44043 He's a introverted guy in real life.

I cant be the only one who notices her at just about every korakuen hall show. Shes been wearing lots of ingobernables merch recently. tfw no wrestlingfan gf

>>44659 Is it her?!

>>44662 I think so

She was also at the last road to new beginning show anybody else hyped for the eventual suzukigun vs ingobernables feud? The amount of spit and general disrespect is gonna be amazing

Anyone watched a new beginning? It had a bretty gud main event okada wins lol aside, it was great to see MiSu again.

>>46377 It was a pretty good show but I hope we dont get too many with suzukigun centered cards this year. I actually thought Okada was gonna tap a couple of times. Hes probably the best seller in the business at the moment.

>>46377 I was a bit underwhelmed by most of the show, but liked the main event a lot. I hadn't watched New Japan for a while, but came back mostly to see that match and it didn't let me down. I was surprised to see Suzuki-gun lose all their matches (other than the opener), I figured they'd at least get a couple of big wins to re-establish them).

>>46440 So here's my problem with the booking. You have a faction like Suzukigun emerging to a huge pop,but instead of handing them the belts at New Beginnings to kick off a chase you've had them lose every match completely nullifying them as a threat If you're going to have a faction war, it's always a good idea to have the faces chasing dominant heels in the beginning, it gives the face's eventual victory more meaning.

>>46683 I dont think they went all out on Suzukigun because the fans were tired of them 2 years ago before they went to NOAH. Okada's victory was to put him over as the never-give-up babyface thats carrying the company on his shoulders. I could still see KES getting the tag titles though. the real money is in the ingobernable/suzukigun feud since we've never seen that before

>>47014 >the real money is in the ingobernable/suzukigun feud since we've never seen that before Shit, you're right, also this year's G1 can be fantastic.

>>47136 >tfw you have to go out there and job with taguchi

That hiromu vs dragon lee was fucking tits

>>47136 Not too acquainted with NJPW but I've seen some shows, Tanahashi has been the top guy for NJPW for lioe 10 years or so, wresltes great and is popular as hell. Basically, I look at him and think of Cena, being in a similar role and how he fails to be as loved as Tanahashi. Basically I want to ask, how did NJPW make it work? Smart booking ofcourse but did Tana ever go heel at some point when he was at the top? Or was it just that NJPW didn't keep forcing him and gave other wrestlers a shot too and Tana didn't get stale. Another thing, i like how smoothly they transferred the 'Ace' position from Tana to Okada. Vince wishes Cena and Roman could have been that way.

>>47976 Tana isn't afraid to do the job. Also, he's one of the top 5 workers in the world.

>>47978 Japan seem to admire in ring work the most so i guess that only kept him so popular.

>>47979 That alone kept him popular

>>47976 Tana is the ace but doesn't superman over the roster, he's a legit good wrestler and has some epic matches.

>>47976 Tana is the Ace but hes never been invincible. Hes handsome, hes charismatic, hes a hell of a wrestler, he has a genuine love for the fans you can see in the end show promos where he air guitars and high fives every single screaming girl in the crowd with a smile on his face. Tana is truly a once in a century guy

>>32290 I'm feeling he will finally win this year, i don't know why, hold me bois.

>>49366 >ywn have your boypussy exposed to the whole japan

/puroboys/

>>49396 wtf i love the gay community now

I was kinda happy to have Kenny back but then I heard this shitty promo and remember why I wanted him gone.

>>49410 jesus fucking christ, just let cody speak for them all or something

>>49396 Ok, I have to ask. What the hell is this?

>>50174 Well, the guy in the middle is Dalton Castle, who almost always comes to the ring with two 'boys' - they assist in his entrance, fan him during matches, etc. - and every once in a while they take part in matches themselves. Last week on Ring of Honor TV, for instance, Dalton Castle's boys (portrayed by the usual pair of indie whoevers) had a handicap match sans Castle against another indie whoever, Colt Cabana, who got the win in an otherwise-nothing handicap match recorded during the 4th hour of a marathon TV taping. But at this weekend's NJPW Honor Rising show, Dalton actually had decent competition (Tetsuya Naito, Hiromu Takahashi & Punisher Martinez) so he recruited superior Japanese boys: Hiroshi Tanahashi & Ryusuke Taguchi.

>>50175 >tfw no aj as one of dalton's boys Fuck wwe man…

My boy Kota still over as fuck, nice match.

Pray for our favorite Kokeshi, he might not ever wrestle again.

>>51250 looks like he's getting better, he plans to wrestle again.

Happy to hear his condition is improving. Wouldn't be surprised in the least if he returned. What's a little temporary paralysis to a 40-year-old pro wrestler?

I know Honma is a tough son of a bitch but if he was paralyzed even momentarily thats pretty damning. If he does come back I think he deserves an iwgp heavyweight title run

>>51498 >english commentary

Any recommended Joshi matches to watch? Haven't seen one at all.

>>51557 Start with matches from Uncle Dave's 5 star match list then branch out watching matches from the wrestlers you end up liking >08/15/92 Manami Toyota vs. Toshiyo Yamada >04/02/93 Akira Hokuto vs. Shinobu Kandori >04/02/93 Kyoko Inoue & Takako Inoue vs. Cutie Suzuki & Mayumi Ozaki >04/11/93 Dynamite Kansai & Mayumi Ozaki vs. Manami Toyota & Toshiyo Yamada >12/06/93 Manami Toyota & Toshiyo Yamada vs. Dynamite Kansai & Mayumi Ozaki >08/24/94 Manami Toyota vs. Kyoko Inoue >11/20/94 Aja Kong vs. Manami Toyota >07/31/93 Dynami Kansai & Cutie Suzuki & Mayumi Ozaki & Hikari Fukuoka vs. Aja Kong & Sakie Hasegawa & Kyoko Inoue & Takako Inoue also if you want to watch matches with insane crowd heat watch Crush Gals matches from the 80s

>>51557 80's and 90's a AJW

>>50920 >KING OF THE WILD intensifies.

>>51656 I hope so he's one of my bois.

>>51662 Also, just watched Omega vs Ishii, godammit this show was sweet.

>>51657 tfw no EVIL gf

https://www.njpw1972.com/4861 Theres still some hope but Honma is still paralyzed from the neck down. GET WELL SOON KOKESHI

Young Lion Katsuya Kitamura certainly has the look and amateur background to make it… apparently he's 31 though so I guess we're going to find out sooner than later.

>>52673 CAN YOU STEAL HIM TOO HUNTER?

Mah boy will kick gedo's fuckboy's ass!

>>52673 Him and Oka are going to be great, theyre only a few matches in and seem to get it. Looking forward to what gimmicks they get once they get out of the young lion stage and maybe Kitamura going to CMLL and wrecking shit.

>>52673 Kitamura looks like he just walked straight out of a gachimuchi video

>>53874 >has to be a lonely warrior tonight >forms a stable

>>53902 >go ace >isn't the ace anymore

>>53874 >>53902 >>53915 >The Wrestler >Is a wrestler Based Shibata, the only honest man in NJPW.

>>32274 Anything with Dynamite Kid is usually good. If you like longer matches, 90's AJPW is the shit. Misawa, Kobashi and Kawada are amazing. Modern NJPW is actually good stuff too.

>>53919 >the wrestler >abandoned the business to become a MMA jobber

>>53955 This would be good for Mauro, JBL and some other faggots must be getting on his nerves at this point.

>>53955 >>53956 He should at least be there for WM33 to call SD matches. Wonder how many times he'll yell "MAMA MIA" during AJ vs Shane

>>55432 You burgers are some lucky fucks, I hope it'll be fun for those who'll go watch.

>>55432 WRESTLEMANIA IS BETTER THAN THIS CHINESE BINGO HALL NONSENSE

>>55434 In what universe? Because it sure as hell isn't this one.

>>55432 >tfw you might be able to go to a njpw show in the US in your lifetime >tfw we could see puroresu compete with GWM

the camera work in NJPW is underrated

Is he /ourguy/?

>>56044 no

>>56044 DAMNIT PAUL WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO SIGN UP THIS GUY?!

>>56044 UNDEBAWSH has been growing on me, i hope Okada can carry him to a good match

>>56077 Shibata is a fucking madman, i hope he doesn't kill himself in the ring.

>>56077 First Honma and now this, I hope NJPW doesnt have their roster basically die putting on great matches

>>56077 big jew confirmed it's an angle

>>56434 THAT GOD DAMN SON OF A BITCH WILL PAY FOR BREAKING KAYFABE AND EXPOSING THE FUCKING BUSINESS LIKE THAT

>An update on the situation with Katsuyori Shibata. Unfortunately the news appears to be very bad and that the injuries are not storyline. This is not 100 percent because there are many situations historically where this could be just storyline or a cover for something else, but it appears this is the case and that a combination of dehydration and the trauma of the legitimately skull-on-skull head-butt hospitalized him and at this point it is bolieved he will never be cleared to wrestle. He is currently in the hospital and is awake, can carry on a conversation, has some memories of the match itself. He initially had some right side paralysis but that is getting better. From Meltz. Sadly, it wasn't a work.

>>56915 Fucking RIP. Love seeing Shibata and how he tears into guys. I remember for his wrestle kingdom match against Ishii he said they were literally shaving years off their lives.

>>56915 JUST

>>56915 FOR GODS SAKE STOP DOING HEADBUTTS I DON'T WANT ISHII TO DIE

>>56915 Just watched Sakura Genesis, then read this straight afterwards. Shit, I really wasn't prepared for this feel - what a horrible way for his career to end. At least he went out in the main event with a great match, though I guess that doesn't really matter now.

>>56915 im gonna miss him, i really am I hope this encourages others to avoid headbutts with others Im wondering how much damage hes done to others with those, maybe he set the clock forward on a few other people's career's

>>56915 I'm watching the match now Madman actually wrestled after the fucking headbutt spot. Jesus Christ Japan, calm the fuck down. There's stiff and there's homicide.

>>57096 >There's stiff and there's homicide. This has been a fairly common criticism of NJPW and other Japanese promotions. That their style is too physical and puts talent at a higher risk of injury. Don't get me started on same of the absolute insanity that Japanese death matches can be either.

>>56915 >at this point it is bolieved he will never be cleared to wrestle >bolieved

>>57100 be-lieve is filtered into bolieve

>>57101 I know. still funny.

>>57099 Well no I like their style. But that headbutt should have been the finish.

>>56915 >do stupid shit >get injured and retired because of it Top kek. Maybe he should have thought things through instead of being a moron.

>>53919 Not anymore lol

>>58317 He's way better and cuter.

>>58317 Fans seem to hate any wrestler who wears a tactical vest. I hear that complaint a lot about Roman Reigns. They must have really hated the Big Boss Man and D-Lo Brown during the Attitude Era.

>>58656 Yeah, people totally only hate him because of his attire. Keep telling yourself that, maybe one day you'll even bolieve it

>>58662 I never said it was the "only" thing they hated about Roman Reigns you idiot. I do hear that complaint a lot on youtube. If you don't think it's true, you haven't been reading the comments on youtube.

US market here we come!

>>58688 reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>57704 Yoshiko looks like a nice girl here, I wanna protect her.

>>58688 DAMNIT PAUL SIGN MORE CHINESE GUYS

>>58694 Start another promotion war hunter or cena Actually it would be like the recent tiger mask w episode with GWM's champion The third invading NJPW. Anime made real again.

>>59293 >all my bois in the same unit

>>59293 which one of these niggas is cima

>>59305 all of them

>>59293 This building looks comfy.

Yoshi Tatsu interrupts Taguchi, Tanahashi reacts.

>>59496 taguchi is the best, the only wrestling comedy guy that actually gets me to laugh

>>59498 Taguchi vs hiromu was great, I love this guy.

>hogan wants to join the bullet club hogan vs tana when?

>>59521 Hogan will usurp Omega as the next leader and will be the one to end Okada's reign. New wrestling boom brother!

how is it pronounced? poo-ROE-ray-soo?

>shin nihon can into making disgusting titles like gaijin piggu wwe too wew

>>60213 >another title in NJPW I'm sure it'll totally be used to its potential

>>60214 Maybe, but the possibility of just being another belt for ZSJ carry around works me into a shoot.

>>60213 jesus christ its fucking awful, good thing its only going on shitty gaijin

>>60213 is that a huge belt or a tiny guy?

>>60216 >ZSJ >A britbong becoming the first United States Champion of a Japanese wrestling promotion I seriously hope they don't do that, only an AMERICAN deserves to be the inaugural champion.

>>60223 damn straight

>>60224 >not him

>>60238 NJPW World.

>>60238 >>60239 Or XWT if you can get ratio to download all this shit. iirc there's not a single good new japan free leech torrent there

>>60721 His family is already rich enough, but nice shitpost, anon-kun.

>>60726 dragon lee is most likely making his way to Pual's super indie star making factory this year hes going to be used about as well as la sombra is

>>60755 >Is Okada Jap-Cena? Not really, he put guys like ishii and marufuji over in last year's g1 but champs are way stronger in title defenses. also he's probably losing it soon

Absolute daddy material

>>60764 I didn't like him since way back, but he's really growing on me. no homo

>>60755 Tanahashi would be Jap-Cena and Okada I guess would be Jap-Roman Reigns. Difference between WWE and NJPW is that NJPW managed to book both guys well enough for people not to hate them, making them lose to some guys occasionally as well.

>>60764 >daddy

>>60781 Tana is a great wrestler tho I don't hate on cena, but he's just decent.

From what I understand Okada is liked more overseas while in his home country people like Tanahashi more.

>>60801 >maybe i can beat up some juniors

>>60803 Okada is liked by the female audience more.

>>60805 does he have a following in the gay community?

>>60806 Yes. >>60807 That's Danshoku Dino from DDT.

>>60805 Tanahashi confirmed bad with women. He's never been the same since his ex stabbed him.

>>60852 Underrated match, meltzer babies can't have fun.

>>60924 I thought it was a fun match on a great show. It's hard enough keeping up with the actual shows, but I can imagine the usual criticisms for the usual reasons.

>>60924 >>60927 Taguchi is unironically one of the best things going in NJPW

<3

>>61604 Brits love their black studs.

>>60927 but with Volador Jr. adding some flips.

>>61720 Liger's reactions are gold.

>>61604 THE OSPREAY COMMUNITY!?

>>61822 this is from that phillipino action movie Goto's in right? Wonder how he got that role

>>61829 It's from a tv series that doi and goto are professors at some school and keep beating up their students iirc.

>>61822 >Hirooki Justo >winning anything

>>61830 sounds fun, got any links for that? heres the trailer for the movie goto has a short role in, hes at about 2 minutes in

>>61833 It hasn't released yet. This movie looks fun.

Why build walls, when you can build bridges?

>>62507 just watch brother, the BOSJ finals in tokyo are gonna be EXPLOSIVE

I hope you niggers watched the finals, it was incredible and the right guy won

>>63677 This webm will trigger corny babies.

>>63677 ospreay beat takahashi in the tourney so that'll set up a title shot later on, but kushida definitely deserves it, he's fucking awesome. Can't wait for dominion.

>>63677 I enjoyed the tournament in itself, but seeing Kushida pushed back to the top yet again after a whopping two months of the division not being based around him really made me lose interest in the juniors.

>>63685 Yeah that's true actually, Takahashi may just squash him again like last time though, but we will see what they're planning sunday.

>>63677 I'm interested now. Guess I'm actually going to watch wrestling instead of botchamania episodes now.

>>63691 the entire tournament is worth watching but the finals are incredible

Tonight is the night! Bright lights. Hype crowd. Yeah, we came to throw down. Everybody get loud.

>>63834 I hope Kota shows up, fuck Kenny. He's actually okay but I don't buy him as main eventer till now.

>>63835 I like kenny a lot actually, but he would do a lot better with written promos. Him making shit up on the spot is horribly awkward. Needs to keep shit simple and not try and sound smarter than he is.

>tfw Dominion and E3 on the same day neet life sure is good

>>63851 Ah yeah boy, Gonna be one helluva day

>>63834 THE. ELITE. THE THE ELITE. ocuckda's gonna retain again isnt he ;- ;

>>63851 E3 is so shit it's good, njpw is so good it's good. It's like poetry it rhymes.

>Okada vs Cody >Tanahashi vs Billy Gunn This is the wrestling equivalent of we want the COD audience.

>>63914 Anyone with sense switched to AJPW already.

>>59496 The wait is almost over.

>>63914 >Cody vs Okada for title in America if kenny gets cucked i am gonna die

>>63917 If "the american pissbreak" cody wins the title I stop watching wrestling all together.

>>63914 Cody is really new to NJPW and honestly, not that amazing in my eyes, surprised he's getting a shot at the title. Would be REALLY surprised if he wins the belt, I'd rather he not. >Tanahashi vs Billy Gunn Wow this is really happening? A dream match no one ever dreamed of. >>63915 Heard nothing about modern day AJPW. How is it?

>>63914 Billy Gunn is still alive?!

Oh great Adam, who admits he doesnt care about new japan, 'marked out' for Dominion. Comments: >overrated >boring >draw >smarks FUCKING WWE NORMIES GET THE FUCK OFF MY PURORESU

>>63924 >Watching what culture >Complains about "normies"

>>63924 kill yourself dude

>>63914 i guess theyre gonna show off how well njpw stars can carry dogshit american wrestlers to a decent match

>>63914 I can sort of see the logic in Okada vs. Cody, it's the closest they can really do to NJPW vs. WWE. I think it'll be alright, Okada matches are rarely shit. I'm really looking forward to Tanahashi vs. Billy Gunn though, I like matches like that where it's one of those ridiculous combinations you never thought would have happened, that sort of thing is why I love watching old WCW C-Shows (though admittedly, being reminiscent of old WCW C-Shows is possibly not what they should be aiming for).

Sonny Brand > Titus Brand

>>63924 You first, fag. Omega is Reddit tier.

>>64753 yeah whatever then anon dont watch Okada v Omega III then since its going to be reddit tier

>>64753 YOU are reddit tier! What now, nerd?!

>>64937 Naito tried to kill that cat in the end.

Omega is a fag.

>>64940 GTFO

>>64944 It's good, but there aren't much in the way of surprised this year. Actually I've just realised that Cody wasn't announced despite everyone expecting him to be. I guess all those people eagerly awaiting a Cody vs. Juice Robinson rematch are going to be disappointed.

>/ourboi/ ibushi in G1 Nice!

>>64964 >That pop when he was announced.

>>64950 hey suck it the buckoos are a blessing to new nippon

>>64946 LOL Omega is still a fag.

Idolfags btfo

>>65132 Omega is still a faggot.

>>65233 you are just jelly becus omega wont tell you how big batistas dick is when the yt channel BeingTheElite gets 100k they will release omegas dicpic

>>65235 Seriously fuck off with your gay club faggot

>>65236 THE GAY CLUBBUNITY?

who has the cutest fans?

>>65238 even tho i'm a massive bc smark, i do have to admit that lij get all the nippon women

>>65238 BJW wrestlers. I'm serious

>>65235 Fag.

I'm trying to decide whether to get a subscription to NJWorld or not. I love 80s New Japan, and the 90s too, so the depth of the archives is important to me. With this in mind, would anyone recommend it to me? Or should I put my money towards DDT Universe.

>>65729 I'd say its worth it for the next 2 months with the g1 and all, you can always cancel after that and get DDT universe instead reminder to never give your money to WWE As for the archives theyre fairly deep but the tag system is a bit shit. It's only going to improve though. If you want a really well documented easy to navigate archive of old njpw you might have to wait a year or so for them to fix up the site. Most major matches are up though.

>>65730 Ah yeah the G1 coming has swayed me. Thanks for your opinion!

Anywhere I can watch the nip nip wrestle?

>>65742 private wrestling trackers upload just about everything, if you cant get in one of those public trackers usually have the bigger njpw shows. https://thepiratebay.org/user/CenaCme/ also http://njpwworld.com/ t.puroshill

>>65742 There's also http://dx-tv.com/ if you want streams.

LOS really does have the best waifus

Are we making a thread for the G1 SPECIAL in USA this weekend? It's on both Sunday and Monday at pretty reasonable times (same time a WWE preshow would start). Honestly I feel like the board owner would do better to advertise the G1 SPECIAL than the laughable Great Balls of Fire.

>>66007 Somebody's gonna make a thread, whether or not it will get stickied or announced is a different thing entirely. Jim sure as hell wont shill it, hes too busy fucking ladyboys and feeding his pigs. you fuckers better watch some good wrestling for once

>>66009 >>66007 NJPW site doesn't have the exact times listed.

>>66014 It comes on at 17:00 PDT both days.

>>60223 >Canuck faggot and leader of the gay community club becomes the first ever NJPW US champion >Meanwhile WWE has a good ol, faggot hating, southern redneck defeat a fat Canadian bastard to become the new and TRUE US Champion Where were you when WWE > NJPW?

>>67116 >insulting the leader of the Gay Bullet Club fite me

>>67116 Us championship unification match at mania 35

>>67116 Kenny is still a better wrestlers than AJ.

>>67116 >>67122

>>67122 AJ is better but kenny is in the better company so he has better matches.

>>67122 >>67124 AJ was in NJPW for less than 2 years and he pretty much went from being unknown to most of them, to a legend in that short period of time. Plus he led the best period of the Bullet Club.

>>67486 Right, but who's having the better matches right now?

>>67486 Also: >Best period of the Bullet Club >Same members as now minus the guys who bailed to get burred in WWE Okay.

>>67486 >no Omega >no Cody >no Marty >best period

>>67488 The Bullet Club were at their peak when AJ was there. Members may be mostly the same as now but they had greater momentum back then, heck now I hear more people wanting the Bullet Club to end. >>67491 >No faggots (except the young cucks) back then Great points

>meltz introduces new japan to the reddit audience with his shit snowflakes >suddenly all discussion about it is wwe tier Fucking jews, every time.

>>67496 More like WWE are driving away it's fans with shit booking, and now that AJ is in WWE with a chunk of the Bullet Club doing a half-hearted Bullet Club gimmick marks are looking in to the Bullet Club and NJPW.

>>67497 At the same time, NJPW in recent years has been amazing and has been doing great business all round. Grown in popularity so it attracts new, formerly only WWE guys as well.

>>67487 Has to be Omega, especially since NJPW's style focuses on having good matches unlike the WWE. Having better matches alone doesn't make you a better wrestler though.

>>67487 >>67500 >better matches

>>67491 >no gay >no irrelevant quitter >no literally who Yeah, that does sound a lot better.

>>67513 >Literally better than anything from last night >Not even njpw

>>67513 >match from years ago (looks like before Kenny was even in the Bullet Club) >proof that Kenny isn't having better matches than Styles NOW Reading comprehension at an all time high in this one I can see.

>>67514 >irrelevant quitter that's a funny way to spell ROH World Heavyweight Champion

>>67516 >>67517 >NERDs like losers that fight dolls >liking the gay community ever >>67521 >ROH >relevant Pick one.

>>67522 >doesn't even reply about my comment but links it replying to someone else I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over all the better matches Kenny Omega is having while AJ Styles drifts into obscurity, mark.

>>67496 even worse is when discussions of ANY puro/lucha turns to WWE because thats all these faggots really care about anybody who wants kenny/dragonlee/ricochet/okada/pentagon in WWE are shit and their opinions deserve to be discarded

>>67523 >implying posts you made aren't posts you made

>>67558 No reading comprehension and you talk like a retard. I'm guessing you're not a NJPW fan.

>>67612 >digging himself deeper >acting like the sheepl eposter

>>67708 >being the poster who the mod has to keep making wordfilters for because he accuse everyone of being a hilariously out of place phrase that only a cuck would use I'm done with you. Feel free to never come back to New Japan threads WWE Mark.

>>67712 >being gay for the gay community

Whos your favorite young lion? Who do you think will be a future champion? didnt think this belonged in the G1 thread

>>70641 Kawato-kun is great.

>>70641 >Kitamura

>>70643 He looks great but he's the greenest one, Vince would probably push him anyway.
