CROSS-Out Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Wait, njpw world was redesigned? Is there an english page now? Id check but im on mobile There's an English option at the top...it looks like this: Ballin, gon' sign up now that I can understand the site. Although checking it out, their engrish is pretty funny. Should make it even more amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 The old site was actually perfectly navigable with a basic translator before...even without one, really. Most of the time I wouldn't even bother translating the old site...you just get used to the layout of things. Schedule is straight forward. The actual sign-up process was the only time when you needed to understand a tad bit more, but I just followed a tutorial back when I did that. Just read that Axis tv will be airing the US G1 show live, in full. That's pretty cool. Fully expected it to just be a NJPW World thing. On the other hand...I hope that doesn't mean a watered down product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSS-Out Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I`m really looking forward to NJPWs expansion into the west. I`m not expecting them to go toe to toe with WWE or anything (though a couple years down the line, if they do everything just right, they might be at least somewhat competition there) but it opens up a lot of possibilities.. and if friggin AAA can get a goddamn video game, why can`t NJPW?

Lil' Kazu Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 So a while ago Cody announced he'd be in the G1 and with the way he's been booked that almost seemed like a no-brainer, however he's recently taken an August booking for Wrestle Circus so now it's seems as his G1 situation is up in the air. Don't know what to make of this, tbh, but I thought it was interesting. BOSJ Day 4 spoilers: Takahashi and Ricochet had a great match but I didn't think Ricochet was going to win, that really messed up my predictions. And *censored*ing Taichi beating Dragon Lee as well, ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E#37 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Regarding Cody, i read a couple days ago that Gedo is not impressed with Codys style in NJPW, so he is thinking of cutting him from the G1 tournament. Marty Scurll on the other hand has been said to really impress NJPW management and is possibly offered a fulltime contract after BOSJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Cody has to return to WWE soon anyway. At least...if his list is anything to go by. One of the last names on his list is Roderick Strong, and he obviously can't do that without going to NXT, or WWE when Roddy is called up. Think the last few names on his list are Young Bucks, Shibata (which might never happen), and Strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fight Me. Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I don't think he got to face Adam Cole (who was at the tippy top of his list) either since they were both in Bullet Club. I can definitely see Cody coming back in a year or so to finish his list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I don't think he got to face Adam Cole (who was at the tippy top of his list) either since they were both in Bullet Club. I can definitely see Cody coming back in a year or so to finish his list. They either already had a match this week...or it's happening really soon. Don't remember which promotion, but yeah...some indy promotion was booking that match for the twenty-something of this month... *edit: the promotion is North East Wrestling, and the match is on the 26th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xto4yLBuf0c Part of me almost wonders if Cody had some type of agreement with Goldust...that if he managed to complete everything on his list other than Bucks, then Goldust would go to the indy scene and they'd do that. Because that would be really cool to see. No idea what Dust's contract looks like, but breaking up Golden Truth was a good start for that to happen.

Generations Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 How come there's no "full game" option for the May 23rd show? The first and second matches are missing...it just lists the matches singularly, starting with the third... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 BOSJ Day 7: Damn, didn't see ACH beating KUSHIDA at all. My prediction of KUSHIDA going to the finals seems to be going down the toilet... I think El Despy has to lose every match or at least draw on the last day vs Kanemaru for KUSHIDA to be able to get there. And that's if he wins every match. I really like tournaments cause I enjoy these calculations you have to do. Intricate booking serves them well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiq. Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 New Japan World announced today that it is adding two live events to the service over the upcoming days.

Lil' Kazu Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 BOSJ Day 12 spoilers: Just finished watching the show, gutted that Hiromu isn't going to the finals but Ospreay will do a great job, I'm sure. The promo he cut at the end was really good! Both the main event and Ricochet vs Scurll were great matches, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Crossface Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just finished the BOSJ Finals, I'll copy/paste my thoughts from cagematch on KUSHIDA/Ospreay. "Jesus *censored*ing christ I need a cigarette after that one, and I don't even smoke. What a barn burner from start to finish. Honestly with everything I've seen from the man I had my criticisms of Will Ospreay despite thinking he was an excellent high flyer, but after watching him gradually evolve with his matches against Shibata and now an all time great Jr. Heavyweight like KUSHIDA I'm officially sold on the dude. And KUSHIDA, he's the *censored*ing man. Always has been. The match began with some incredibly crisp chain wrestling, both men are just so sound and well versed on the mat but from there between the several finisher teases, KUSHIDA's merciless assault on Ospreay's arms as he screamed in agony and the counters, everything just built to a beautiful crescendo. Shoutout to KUSHIDA for the Danielson stomps, I marked out so hard for that as well as him enduring every last Cheeky Nandos kick by not letting go of the top rope. MOTYC. ****3/4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 My thoughts, written right after I finished watching it: Holy hell, what a war! This match had everything, submissions, high flying, shoot style strikes, fighting spirit... this was amazing. Ospreay showed a side of him I'd never seen before and I felt like this match was almost a slap in the face of his detractors, he showed he can do everything they can and just as well or even better. KUSHIDA proved once again he's one of the best wrestlers in the world and can do anything. The emotion at the end of the match was real as I felt it too in a bout that made me jump off my seat several times. Outstanding, the best match of the tournament. ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 The Ospreay/Kushida match was so good, that I liked a video clip of it on FB...and one of my friends who doesn't even watch wrestling followed suit. How many times does a non-wrestling fan see a wrestling video...and be impressed enough by it to actually bother clicking "like"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Lmao, that reminds me that after the Shibata/Okada match I showed one of my friends who doesn't watch wrestling the headbutt clip and he was shocked too, even asked if that was real fighting or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
