ArmVD Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'd love to watch it again, but with the AXS TV commentary with JR instead. Yeah. If I have to watch it with English commentary again, I want it to be with JR. Corino and Kelley were *censored*ing awful. Nearly put me to sleep. Thank God I had the nL guys to listen to as well, even if they did talk over the majority of Shibata/Goto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Did NJPW severely cut back on events or something? I used to look at the schedule on NJPW world and see event, after event, after event...but now I'm seeing 4 or 5 months in a row, with just a handful of events on each...

classiq. Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Kenny Omega recently spoke to Vice Sports about his life and pro wrestling. Here are some of the highlights: Going to WWE: "There are certainly factors, people there that I feel like I should tangle with, that would be an intriguing story. It's up to them. I wasn't able to tell my greatest stories in New Japan until they trusted me to run with the ball, either. It's a two-way street. If they give me a blank slate, and they give me a brush and they say paint your greatest picture ever, take as much time as you need and use whatever colours you want, I can guarantee them that I will give them a classic. However, if they give me a Post-it note and a piece or charcoal and say here's five minutes, I'll do what I can, but it may not be a classic." Match against Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 11: "I've actually yet to watch the match back. I'm afraid to watch the match back because I've never actually had a match where it was so positively received from all corners of the wrestling community. It is almost too positive to the point where I'm wondering, is something up here? I love a compliment just as much as the next person, but I'm also pretty shy, so when I'm put on the spot like that and people around me only have nice things to say, I'm starting to feel like I'm the butt end of a joke I'm not in on." What kept him from quitting pro wrestling: "I was thinking I'd do a farewell tour locally (in Winnipeg). But then I ended up having a match with AJ Styles. It was because of that match that I had realized there were people that sort of wrestled the way I wished wrestling was. It gave me another reason to believe in wrestling again, that there must be other people like this in the world." Kenny Omega also discussed selling an injury properly and how pro wrestling is seen by its fans.

Lil' Kazu Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Finished watching the show today. I'd say only the title matches are worth watching and the Shibata/Ospreay tag match if you're interested in the feud. The main event was really great, I went in fully expecting MiSu to win seeing as Suzuki-Gun had lost both the title matches and the intensity in the submissions and the booking really had me on the edge of my seat thinking Okada could tap at any minute, which is something hard to do nowadays. When I finished watching the match I had even more of an appreciation for it because I realised it was 40 minutes long. Even with the long submission spots time just flew by, what a match. I don't know where this leaves Suzuki-Gun, though, they left kinda looking like chumps, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Yesterday's Road To show was really fun. Had 3 ten man elimination tag matches that were all very entertaining. Also had english commentary but Naito isn't a Don Callis fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E#37 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Suzuki-Gun should take notes from LIJ on how to do a clean sweep. Also, you gotta see Hiromu vs. Dragon Lee to believe it. Holy shit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil' Kazu Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hiromu/Lee and Naito/Elgin were *censored*ing awesome matches, surprised no one died. I was expecting a bit more from Shibata/Ospreay but it was still a very good match. Oh and I *censored*ing love the dubbed theme New Japan uses for Dragon Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Dragon Lee vs Takahashi was *censored*ing bruuuuutal. I kinda wanted more from Shibata and Ospreay but I still thoroughly enjoyed that match and I love seeing Ospreay continue to be legitimized. But holy *censored*ing shit....Naito/Elgin were really trying to come for Omega and Okada's neck. That match had no right to be that damn good. I remember when I used to hate Michael Elgin in ROH but he's honestly one of my favorites now. Unbelievable match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
