Paulie Walnuts Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 The styles are definitely different yet similar, and all the entertaining at the same time. And I think I can understand where Tanahashi is coming from, if he's referring to what I think he is. It might be the selling, and the moments during big matches there's always a segment of guys no selling everything and hitting each other with big impact moves at a pretty quick pace, I can see why he'd see that as not letting the moves and the selling effect of the move to sync in and awe the crowd. But here, the no-sell effect gets over with the crowds. Puroresu is definitely similar in that approach as well, so on that end, I can't see why Tanahashi would say that. Or maybe he's just being in character.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushy. Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Pretty much why I said it's probably just because he doesn't prefer doing that style himself. Because it's difinitely in that company too. Not just ROH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozay. Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 NJPW has that style too especially in Jr. Heavyweight tag matches, but NJPW and ROH matches tend to be VERY different. And you need only to look at Michael Elgin's performance in both companies and compare his style before and after NJPW to spot the differences. Elgin greatly benefited from being restrained to NJPW's style. Same as Davey Richards, Ricochet and many imports before. As for Tanahashi going after Lethal's belt... ROH would be crazy not to put the belt on Tana if he wants it. But I won't watch that match. The prospect of Tanahashi, one of the smartest, most logically sound wrestlers ever, having to sell a Lethal Injection gives me the creeps.

LEGION Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Yoshi Tatsu's in-ring return has just been confirmed for Invasion Attack via Facebook. Not the match that he is going to be in though EDIT: nvm. He's teaming with Tanahashi & Elgin against The Elite. Atleast they chellenged them to a match.

Guest Fight Me. Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 They have the ROH 14th Anniversary Show on NJPW World for some reason, is it worth checking out? Haven't watched ROH in a couple months since Destination America got rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.ZEN Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 First time watching a show in a while, loved the main and Shibata/Tenzan. Wasn't that into much else tbh but I'm really interested in the matches that seem to have been set up from this show. Also I'm really happy that they've brought in Sanada, always liked him. I haven't seen him wrestle that muchsince the AJPW/W1 split as I've really lapsed on watching everything that isn't NJPW the last few years but he should freshen things up and add some depth to Los Ingobernables as BUSHI is great but EVIL is pretty average.
