Next wednesday 1/3/18 (tuesday 1/2/18 our time) is the NJPW Fan Festa, Here's the press release from the site. >New Japan’s annual Fan Festa extravaganza from Differ Ariake is mere days away, and with that in mind, the schedule has been set for the January 3 event.　The afternoon looks to be a fun one for all the family. The New Japan tour bus has always been a popular fixture for kids and adult Fan Festa attendees alike, and this year, the new, revamped tour bus will be at Differ for fans to take a look around. It’s a unique chance to see how the real stars of NJPW travel from town to town. >The very best late Christmas present for the New Japan fan who thinks they have everything? A membership in the Team NJPW Fan Club! If you choose to join on January 3 at Differ, a team of friendly employees will be on hand to aid you through the entry process- among them, Tetsuya Naito?! Yes, sign up to the Fan Club at Fan Festa, and the number one contender to the IWGP Heavyweight Championship will see you off with an LIJ style fist bump! >That’s not all, as there’ll be the chance to meet and receive signatures from your favourites, and in the ring area, there’s a full program of press conferences, talk shows and announcements, and even the chance to ring in the New Year in traditional Japanese style: >Please be aware, tickets for Fan Festa 2018 are SOLD OUT. There are NO tickets available on the day, but you can watch the afternoon’s entertainment at njpwworld.com ! 11:00 AM Site opens for NJPW Fan Club members (Only the outside area is available) 11:30 Site open for general attendees 12:05 PM Traditional BREAKing of the New Year’s mochi, with Togi Makabe, KUSHIDA and Jurina Matsui (SKE48) 12:15 NJPW video game announcement 1:00 Wrestle Kingdom 12 Open Press Conference (part 1) 2:45 Special talk show with WK12 Official Ambassador, Jurina Matsui 4:00 Wrestle Kingdom 12 Open Press Conference (part 2) 5:00 Three live matches (see card here https://www.njpw1972.com/tornament/18631?showCards=1 The obvious big news from this is the ==NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING VIDEO GAME== Which thank fucking god is happening because the industry needs a good 3d wrestling game alternative

Then obviously is Wrestle Kingdom 12, which has an actual start time of 17:00 JST or 12 AM PT/2 AM CT/3 AM ET, since the first hour is just the new japan rumble which is always fun but nothing ever that special. Closer to the andre the giant battle royale than the royal rumble. Lots of great matches that night but really the 2 main events are gonna be the ones to watch and I bet they'll go on about 3-4 hours into the main show.

Shit.

Finally the day after is New Years Dash which is essentially NJPW's version of the RAM after mania and is taking place at kouraken hall AKA Nip Wrestling home base. It's also going to be a free show available even on youtube probably so even if you don't get NJPWWorld it'll be something fun to check out. They announce the card on the day of the show so Start time for that one is 1:30 (PST) / 3:30 (CST) / 4: 30 (EST) /

>>90775 >2 main events

>>90777 >>90776 Hey how's it going

>>90779 Nice photo of your newspaper. Okada Naito is the actual main event, but the idea is that Omega Jericho is the main event for foreign fans. It does make some sense I guess but it's pretty gay yeah. Although both the matches will be good so it's fine honestly

>>90780 Good good. And yourself?

>>90782 Pretty good dude just excited for fun wrestling

>>90786 >tfw they could've booked ishii vs dalton castle for the ROH title >tfw they didn't

>>90775 >Two main events >Tanahashi isn't in either of them I-it's over i-isn't it? #StillMyAce

>>90800 Triple main event.

>>90800 Nah, Tana just needs to rest is all. It's really more about the opponent. I'm sure if Tana was facing Jericho, it would be the other way around.

>>90800 It will be if he doesn't take some time off to heal. Rate he's going he'll be wrestling young boys in a wheelchair.

HYPE I hear that Alpha v Omega cucked Testsuite Nacho out of his second Main Event spot via fan vote. This true or am I just assuming shit.

>>90804 youre assuming shit, Naito/Okada is going on last. The fan vote was proposed but it never went anywhere

>>90804 Baka gaijin smark opinions don't matter

>>90804 >cucked out of a main event again SOLO

>>90804 >>90806 >>90807 Even if there was a vote, I'm sure Naito would still get his main event.

>>90806 >>90820 They better not hold that fanvote in English else Nacho finna get WK8'd all over again from Chad Alpha and Virgin Omega.

>>90781 >Jericho having a decent match in 2018 Omega needs good opponents to carry him or else he'll meme it up in the ring. There's a reason why they made it a no DQ match.

>>90825 Literally everything about this post is wrong

>>90826 Sorry buddy, not everyone here worships the Faggot Club and cooldad. I wouldn't be surprised if they had the worst match of the night.

>>90826 t. Dave Meltzer

>>90828 stop being such a tryhard

>>90825 Im not sure if "carry" is the right word but he definitely needs someone to play off of. I think part of it is that when kenny gets paired with somebody lower her just stops giving a fuck and does comedy spots to keep it safe.

>>90831 He did good with beretta and juice this year though, and even managed to get an interesting match out of yoshi hashi at global wars. If it's a title match or on a big show he gives a shit otherwise he just has fun, which is fine honestly.

>>90832 >big show beeg to njpw confirmed

>>90824 Even western NJPW fans think it should be Naito's main event. The only people who think it should be Jericho and Omega are the ones who only watch ROH or WWE and say they watch NJPW but don't.

>>90833 MOVE OVER NIP STARS

Top belt should go on last. Don't turn this into WWE, that's what we're trying to get away from.

>>90834 Agree. I'm a little annoyed at the fact that they're billing Kenny vs Jericho for a belt they literally just made up recently as on the same level as an IWGPWHC match featuring arguably the two best native workers in the company. It buries their homegrown talent to the point that the likes of Ishii for example became an afterthought. Why couldn't he a third man in the NEVER match for example. Ishii, Suzuki and Goto? It'd be an amazing hard hitting snuff match. Are NJPW looking for a more lucrative US TV deal? Are they looking to actively compete with Vince? If not what's the point of it?

>>90846 njpw isnt so found of 3 ways outside of jr division fuckery, im not sure Ishii would want to be a third man anyways with his style of match. The US title being elevated so high isnt really a bad thing considering they need it to be at a high level to draw with it in the US

>>90845 Top belt is going on last, no one outside of newfags thinks jericho and omega is the main event. Although even if it was a true double main event putting it on earlier does make some sense as fans in NA wouldn't have to stay up as late to watch it live.

>>90846 >the two best native workers in the company I'll only agree to that once someone retires.

>>90858 Okada surpassed tanahashi years ago, and naito surpassed him last year. Naito also has better character work than tanahashi, which is something tana still has the edge on over okada.

>>90863 Only really though age. I'll give you Naito tho, but for me I always want Tana to win no matter who he's against.

>>90864 Okada in terms of his ability to lay out a match is better than tanahashi right now, probably because of years learning from tanahashi and the other guys in NJPW. Same thing with naito. Every generation in new japan is usually better than the last because they build upon what is taught to them by their elders. Tanahashi isn't out yet but he is on his way down. He still has one more WK main event left in him though.

>>90863 agreed

>No Chase Owens And why would I want it?

>>90878 Chase is making history by winning the prestigious captain new japan memorial battle royal in the pre show.

>>90880 >the prestigious captain new japan memorial battle royal

>>90874 >not wanting Tana on top all the time

>>90863 >>90874 Tanahashi on Okada in his book "Why Hiroshi Tanahashi was able to change NJPW” in 2014: >Okada has every quality required for a wrestler. He stands 6 foot 3, which is on a par with athletes in world of sports. And he can change the atmosphere of the crowd with just one dropkick. Even the first-timers can tell that his physical abilities are beyond others. And his youth is perfect asset for attracting younger audience and female fans. >He also grew in a WONDERFUL environment. He learned lucha in Mexico, developed his physical strength in NJPW, and studied entertainment in TNA. >Top-notch wrestlers in the States are always aware of how they look in the camera frame. They are able to make themselves look better by locating the “Tally light (small light on camera that signals that the camera is live)” while they wrestle. This is a hassle even for the wrestlers with long careers, but Okada is capable of doing this. Since I never had the chance to learn wrestling abroad, I’m really jealous of his skill. >One thing that Okada lacks is an irresistible body that people could tell by first glance that he is a pro-wrestler. This is what makes pro-wrestler different from other athletes, and I think that all wrestler should aim for building such body. When Okada attains this, he will be second to none. Okada's gotta get jacked brother

>>90886 Some of it is the jacked aspect, others is the whole "look" thing, Naito has a great look despite not being that jacked. his longer hair and disheveled beard makes his whole "ingobernable" character visible at first glance. Okada looks awesome with his robe on but when he's just in his trunks he kind of just looks like a guy. He needs to develop an iconic look and whether that's through getting real jacked baby or some other means I think that'll come eventually.

>>90886 I've noticed this too, especially when he was fighting Kenny who is jacked to the gills on that crossfit shit. Okada needs to get on that Kitamura diet.

>muh six gorillion stars >has the body of a 16 year old big dawg wins again

>>90891 Ahh yezzir. NJPW might think they have "the ace" (whatever that dumb stupid nozzir nickname means) but WWE has THE GUY. The Big Dog, and he's bringing the Big Fight.

>>90891 >has to wear a vest to cover up his fat gut in matches #bolieveDAT #MyYardNow #BigDawg

>>90891 >>90892

>>90891 >>90892 >his father is Rikishi >he's already started putting on weight How long before the "Big Dog" becomes the "Fat Dog"? How funny will it be in like 5-10 years to tease Reignsfags with images of him being fat as shit?

>>90906 I'm not one to defend The Fat Dog, but his father isn't Rikishi. He is Rikishi's nephew tho.

What match is everyone looking forward to the most?

>>90908 The main event, Naito winning the big one at the tokyo dome has been long awaited

>>90908 The main event.

>>90908 Other than the main event the junior 4 way match.

>>90908 Watching the rumble then going to bed

>>90913 Same here actually, Ospreay and Scurll really impressed me this year and Hiromu and Kushida are always great.

>>90908 Tanahashi's retirement match.

>>91245 Is jay white the only heel not in a stable currently? I'm pretty sure he is although I could be forgetting some

>>91245 FUCK YOU

>>91254 ah fuck you leather man

>>91253 After he wins he is gonna form a New Zealand stable with Henare, Travis Banks, TK Cooper and other unknown nz dudes. >>91254 Switchblade is coming.

Livestream for the fanfest just went online.. Who's excited for the Game announcement?

Anyone watching tonight? If not hopefully they post the video game trailer on youtube so I can link it here

>>91348 I am I guess

>>91350 Sweet bro

whos gonna keep that sweet firepro belt tho

Bets on Suzuki/Goto? I for one am just happy that we will have a match without Suzuki-Gun and Chaos doing run ins and ruining muh immersion.

My picks no bully >NEW JAPAN RUMBLE Jushin Thunder Liger retirement build up win >IWGP Jr. TAG TEAM Sho and Yoh get their first big win >6-MAN TAG TEAM GAUNTLET CHAMPIONSHIP Heavyweight, Yano and Ishii or retain >"SPECIAL" SINGLE MATCH Kota v Cody Kota wins then finally signs to NJPW >IWGP TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Los Horribles del Gato jose b and jose c >IWGP jnr CHAMPIONSHIP Will Ospreay, gotta make him stay and not go 205 >NEVER OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Goto finally dethrones suzu but gets his hair rekt anyway >IWGP INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Switchblade upset win. First match won't bury him. >IWGP US HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Ken Megson, Jericho just a one and done >IWGP HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Okadawinslol but Naito is merch god so not sure

Here are my picks >rumble: kojima >Jr. Tag: RPG 3k >6 Man: Chaos or Taguchi JPN >Ibushi vs Cody: Ibushi, sets up ibushi vs omega at later on >Tag titles: KES >Jr. title: Hiromu >NEVER title: Suzuki >Intercontinental title: Jay white because tana is injured >US title: Jericho >world title: Naito

Where's Kitamura?

>>91368 Getting ready to show up at an ROH show

Predictions >Rumble a lot of old legends show up and comedy spots, a young lion wins it, probably Kawato >Jr.Tag SHO and YOH retain, young cucks talk loudly throughout the match and rocky takes a big bump >6 man Taguchi Japan wins for no real reason, its gonna be a fun match >Kota/Cody Kota wins and Cody remains unimpressive >Tag EVIL/SANADA win because who gives a shit about KES >NEVER Goto gives tribute to Shibata and brutalizes MiSu for the last stretch of the match then wins the big one. Then he becomes iwgp champ by the end of the year >Intercontinental My gut says tanahashi but hes in poor health and really needs a BREAK. I dont see them putting a belt on Jay White so early though. Gonna go with Tanahashi anyways >US Kenny wins but Jericho gets massively over and decides to do another big show with NJPW, probably takes the Intercontinental from Tana at some point >Heavy Q oja It's Naito's time

>>91372 I'm almost certain jericho is doing more than this one show in NJPW, just from the way the announcers and he have been talking about it. Although my bet is on him challenging naito for the heavyweight belt

>>91372 >It's Naito's time Just like it was Okada's time at Wrestle Kingdom 7 9 10.

Hype intensity rises.

>>91374 Okada is the longest reigning IWGP Champ now, so it's time for a new face on the top of the card. Also would be nice to see some more babyfaces challenge for the Heavyweight title.

>>91375 >Mfw I'm even hyped for the consolation prize belts gauntlet match

>>91377 ZSJ is gonna win it brother

>>91376 >so it's time for a new face on the top of the card *old face

I haven't watched GFW or whatever it is no since shortly before it changed from TNA. Does NJPW still send young lions over to train and learn?

>>91380 No they cut off ties with TNA after they almost killed okada's career

>>91380 Nope, they stopped after Okata. >>91379 >When a meme and a wwe wrestler get the 2nd to last match, a mexiboo and gedo's wife's son get the main event and you get a match with an edgy 15 year old young lion

>>91381 >>91382 What about RoH? I remember digging through old episodes and seeing a very young EVIL wrestling under what I assume was his given name and just chaulked it up to him being a young lion at the time. I have not kept up with wrestling since last WK. I tried going back to WWE and it burnt me out on the whole sport. I think I am going to stick with weebshit and the occasional RoH.

>>91383 Yeah, ROH has a working relationship with NJPW, don't know of any young lions there tho.

>>91383 The people they have partnerships with are RoH, CMLL, NWA, and a collection of smaller indies. They also have a working relationship with RevPro, and their title has been defended on NJPW shows in the past, I would expect some young lions to go over there in the future.

Now this would get 7 snowflakes

>>91383 you missed an amazing year of NJPW. Young Lions still get sent to CMLL/RoH. Jay White and RP3K are returning from RoH and it looks like Kitamura is on his way there.

Fuck I forgot how shit taima chats were. This is how is babby formed tier shit.

Naito is no Rob Terry.

>>91393 Such if the burden of Puro. If it offers any consolation you as a puro fan are going to have to enjoy this on the same schedule nip weebs have. They have to go to sleep in the middle of the evening so they can wake up when anime comes on in the middle of the night.

So, since we got a while do you think I should I get WWE 2k18? I don't game much but I like wrestling and I like Rorikura Hold.

>>91396 get it on the switch

>>91397 Is that on the Xbox or the PS4?

Whos ready for JUST goto

>>91399 why is he on the card? just to suffer?

>>91400 Don't worry, Ziggler Goto will be fine.

>>91400 WOOOOOOAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

>>91396 yes

>>91404 Am I supposed to know him?

Three hours left. Put on your red shoes. Who do you boys think is going to win; Is Okada the future of the company as he's been booked? Or was it a ruse all along and now Naito is the new Tanahashi as he was always destined to be? This main event basically states who the future of New Japan is. Who do you think it will be and why?

>>91407 Okada IS the future but he's not gonna win this main event. Tanahashi didn't win every main event of WK he was in. Also, Naito is fucking 35 meanwhile Okada just turned 30 a couple months ago.

>>91407 Gedo will come out and declare the match is now a 3 way. Chase Owens comes out, wins the whole thing and becomes the new tanahashi.

anyone got a reliable stream to watch?

>>91410 https://njpwworld.com/

>>91410 999 Yen, my boy.

>>91408 I want Naito to win, but what about the rule of three for WK? As outlined in this video the bookers have been a fan of 3-sets for major events. Naito v. Okada for the big belt is only at 2. Again though, I do hope Naito wins, when I look at it, the story makes more sense.

>>91410 taima should be working

>>91413 Well good 3 part booking has them even at the second match, so that would mean naito would win this one

>>91415 No, what I mean is they usually make it take 3 matches to overcome a big challenge. First two matches are the struggle and build up, last one is the big win. Even booking is some gay WWE shit that makes everyone look bad.

How many years of experience do NJPW bookers have?

>>91413 >realneatpuro vid Jay White vs Bushi for the IWGP title WK13 confirmed

>GIBU MEI YUARU CHAMUPIYONSHIPU BERUTO NAO New Year's special has it's moments.

>>91417 Gedo has like 20 or 30 I think

>>91407 naito wont be the next tana, he already failed at that Hes the next Chono

>>91421 So I can look forward to him slapping the shit out of Yamazaki for new years to come?

>>91422 hopefully

We got 1 hour till the rumble guys, who do you think is gonna be a surprise entrant this year?

>>91424 MMA LEGEND TITO ORTIZ

>>91424 sakuraba

>>91424 Cheeseburger is winning the whole thing this year brother

Coma anon here, while I know basically nothing of NJPW except from webms on /wooo/ and Eddie Guerrero's book, it does look like a kick ass show and I look forward to seeing clips because I sleep now have fun faggots

>>91424 Beeg Show returns and buries all the new talent

I want to fuck the aho Ako

>>91424 Honma

>>91428 that's okay, I imagine a torrent of the show will be up fairly quickly after the show so you should watch it that way if you can!

>>91433 just looks like promos for now

>>91434 Yeah they usually do this for the hour before the show starts

That 5 way falls count anywhere with Ibushi during DDT was great. That kid needs a bigger push.

>>91424 WHATS DOLPHERU ZEEGUULARR DOING IN THE NJPW RUMBLE? WHATS ADRIENU NEVILLUUU DOING IN THE NJPW RUMBLE? WHATS JAMU ELLSWORTHUUU DOING IN THE NJPW RUMBLE? jewshin thunda lion is winning brother hh

>>91424 Joey ryan is in attendance tonight so I expect him to show up in the rumble and do some dick flip spots with hangman

>>91441 Young Bucks >>>>>> The Midnight Express

streaming at weebcrew.moe if anybody needs a stream

>>91443 I've got NJPWworld, but this is good for those who need it

>>91443 Nice but I have NJPWworld

>>91444 Is it worth ¥999, maggels?

>>91446 ONLY NINE NINETY NINE YEN OH AH LOVE IT MILAHNOH

>>91446 It has been this year actually, I have WWE network too and I actually got more content on NJPWworld because they usually have at least one show a week go up live. It's nice actually

>>91449 inb4 no dimez

>>91449 That's a sexy looking stage, although I really liked the eye last year. We'll have to see it in action

WILL Suzuki retain his mullet mohawk? WILL Jay White get his first major title? WILL the four way not be a clusterfuck? WILL Jericho remember how much he enjoys wrestling outside of tight scripting? WILL Naito finally come full circle on his arc? BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WILL Cody be able to work any response from a crowd? Find out, in just a few minutes

I hope Cody died of oil drilling related AIDS

>>91454 >preshow

>>91443 >nip annoucners smh why is it so hard to freeboot these days

Oh m gosh!

Who?

WTF what is Delirious doing here? >What is Confuzzled doing in the Impact! Zone?

LEO TONGA GORILLA TACDICKS

>self rock bottom C'mon leo

>>91464 Delirious books ROH, he's probably there to do some meetings with NJPW officials

GO ACE! GO CHASE!

Chase Owens >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bo Dallas

i always forget chase owens exists until he shows up in some pre show tag/rumble

>>91468 That is probably true. My Impact! Zone reaction still stands though, didn't expect him in the rumble tbh, not too mad to see it, even if it was short.

>>91476 Not sure if you got mixed up mate, Royal Rumble is later this month. This Rumble is ABOUT old legends and young blood getting themselves out there for the fans.

>Taka Okay, now I'm happy.

>Making these oldboys run to the ring <Not using state of the art tech romanlaughing.gif

>Chase owens getting all these eliminations My god he is the ace

>>91479 >Not letting your bois get some cheeky cardio in at work

>Chase getting double teamed GET CAPTAIN NEW JAPAN OUT HERE

LIGER! Okay, we all knew it was coming, but you know, its fucking Liger.

NXT LEGEND LIGER

As long as Liger gets to perform you know things are going to be okay.

Hey this has been booked pretty well so far actually

who the fuck is this

ITS MARTY SKURLL

FUCK, its like the fucking rugby's on.

>liger eliminated Fuck that

>Despy got demasked >Young lions help Despy y tho

>Yoshi Hashi is stuck in the damn rumble jesus

>>91498 He had nothing else to do this year, putting him in the rumble gives him a paycheck and a statistic. Could be worse, coulda been stuck Ringside/backstage.

Remember how they hyped Kamitachi last year during Destruction leading up to WK? He blew his push and is down here with the mastadons.

oh yeah finlay is a guy

Oh god she is looking hot tonight

rip my mongrel henare dog ka mate ka mate maori

>tfw you will never be a pimp in Tokyo Feels bad man

>>91519 i missed out on tag league completely because i didnt have internet for a while, my bad

He's dedicating his win to takayama

Okay we got 20 minutes of downtime guys

>>91523 that was Masahito Kakihara, who beat cancer earlier and returned to the ring this year

>>91512 Any anons got an answer for this in the downtime? I couldn't find anything, just a bunch of her in ring photos. Is there a different name I should search?

>>91528 her instagram is muffin030ass that's the best you got honestly

>Wake up >It's still dark outside >Only catch the end of the NJPW rumble >Now we have 30 minutes of nothing At least I'm here in time for the main show, can't complain I guess. Were bushi and chase owens in it?

>>91529 Damn, I'd found that and was optimistic there was more. No matter, I guess it is best that some things remain imagination.

>>91530 Yes and both lost

>>91527 geez i legit thought that was jado. oh well thats nice that he survived and dedicated to takayama >>91528 Pieter is pure! She would never do anything like that

>>91533 >pieter is pure yeah no that's as delusional as saying paige is pure

>>91533 Does she have a wikifeet page

>>91533 shes banging a fat tongan aka fale, dude

>>91533 >Pieter is pure! You keep bolieving that.

>40'000 people in attendance yeah but does any match have a "Big Fight Feel"?

>>91538 >yeah but does any match have a "Big Fight Feel"?

I kinda want young bucks to win

>>91554 SEVEN TIME? FTRR yep but new stars going over tonight

>>91553 get hype

>>91558 Stop being a Jim Cornette

That double sharpshooter spot was funny

Great selling by sho goddamn

not sure if real injury or ring psychology can never tell in newb japan

WAS IT SUGOI ANIKI?

>>91562 Pretty sure it's just selling, thought it was real for a second though

God this is getting good

Fucking even the Cucks can put on a good show if it is WK

>>91567 Because NJPW actually requires storytelling.

Corny just woke up from his sleep

Woah bucks win

>>91569 and screamed

>>91567 The bucks are usually good honestly, most of their ROH matches are at least decent

NOOOO KKK

I wish Hang Man Paige had come out and had a tussle with the nigger.

that was great, still a little salty about all the jr title flip flops

HORI SHEEET 7X!

>they actually have an intro I know who's winning.

What is this theme?

>>91578 shit

Taichi a cute

>No taichi entrance Waht the fug?

>>91581 Yeah actually wtf

war machine must be seething to be teaming with elgin

>>91585 It's so awkward.

Good to see Big Mike's knee is looking healthy again.

See you at NXT Battle Apparatus

BIG MATCH ISHII

BIG DOG TIME WOOF WOOF 141

Missed the start so just want to say Fuck Michael Elgin

>>91593 Fuck you leatherhead. Also fuck ZSJ.

YANO'D

>makabe's theme plays OH FUCK

Why do they insist on play makabe's theme? Play taguchi's

Coked out of his fucking gourd.

YANO UPSET AGAIN

Holy shit the BC theme.

ISHII DID IT

Suplexing big guys is one of the older tricks in the industry. Suplexing a big guy that smoothly… Ishii just did fucking good.

Fuck yes

OUTTA NOWHERE

>>91603 >Meanwhile Romans legs shake when he suplexes someone

That moonsault into gunstun should've been great but the timing was just a few seconds off

New champs. For a second I thought they were gonna badly botch that gunstun.

I didn't see this one coming.

CHAOS WINS good for them

Ayy they won, first correct call all night! I dont think I heard 1 curse from Tangaroa all match either.

ishii getting fale up is always a spectacle

Yoshi hashi on suicide watch.

I hope Kota BREAKs Cody's face again.

WWE needs to hire back Cody. Kevin Dunn wouldn't need to turn down the crowd at PPVs, just send Cody out with Roman and the arena goes silent naturally.

>>91619 wew

>>91620 Well, say it ain't so.

"SPECIAL" SINGLE HANDSOME MATCH

>>91624 Special GAY COMMUNITY match?

Time for 5 minutes of Cody entering and exiting the ring.

Fuck even WK can't help Cody not phone shit in

Love seeing a woman get hurt

>>91629 Niggers aren't human. Stop anthromorphing them. It is simply a female.

>>91630 love seeing niggers get hurt even more

Ibushi is the best

Ibushi needs to win this

cody not as boring as usual, im impressed

This piss BREAK is taking too long. Let Kota win before I end up drinking too much and have to piss again.

FUCK

>>91634 As much as I have spent the last few hours posting in this thread shitting on Cody, he can work decent matches with decent talent opposite him. He isn't a Jinder Mahal who just brings down talent, but he never makes a match himself. That was actually pretty neat there, was about to say he is a less talented Randy Orton, but that was pretty good. So I guess Cody is a slightly more talented Randy Orton.

Cody did something cool for once

At least Kota is going to get a well deserved pop for this match.

someone better be getting HD shots of Brandi's ass in that outfit. It looks amazing

>springboard rana from cody See you can be cool if you try

>>91640 t. Kurt Angle

heh

Fucking beautiful that should have been the three

Rhodesmaker!!

IBUSHI WINS

"Kenny doesnt love you like I love you" GAY COMMUNITY CONFIRMED

Ibushi deserved that, holy fuck.

Cody is definitely higher up in my books after that match

YES /cuteboys/ wins. That was cody's best match in njpw, much better than the one with elgin.

Everything is EVIL

Sanada's my boy. Face turn aaaaaaaaaaaany day now.

Damn that laser show is sick

God, I hate Sanada's Buffalo mask. Looks cartoonish as fuck.

Someone please get sanada's old mask and jacket back.

Taking the water bottle gimmick to its logical conclusion

>>91657 t. evian

>>91654 His old skull mask was tight as fuck.

I want to hold ahnds with jurina.

LIJ is getting dominated they're winning aren't they?

kawato getting bullied ;_;

For the second year in a row, Cheeseburger is trending thanks in large part to my obese countrymen talking about eating burgers in the middle of the night.

Jesus this is like a mallet mates squash.

Somehow I have avoided seeing Davey Boy Smith Jr. for some time. When did he start looking like Duke Nukem?

>>91666 >Mallet Mates <Satan's Sodomizers

EBILU COMEBACK

THEY KICKED OUT OF THE KILLER BOMB

LIJ GOT THIS GUYS, NAITO'S NAIGHTO

Every title is changing hands tonight

that was different atleast the right guys won

I didn't like the start of this match, it was like a wwe tag match with the bad guys getting heat for ages. Once LIJ started getting offense it got better. Now here's hoping njpw's tag division picks up.

>>91674 That's classic tag wrestling, the heat early makes the comeback later better, the problem in wwe is that the comeback is like two moves and then it's over

This is a neat hype package.

>>91677 By suzuki no less.

Someone gettin that Young Lion special tonight boys

>>91681 It's suzuki probably leading to his retirement

Best theme time.

>>91675 tag, guy runs into a lariat like three times then a finisher. ahaha i love it maggle

>>91682 Maybe so, I have Goto picked. I wonder if Suzuki will actually be a Lonely Warrior tonight.

goodnight goto

Oh fuck goto is kill.

Goto sleep

Did Goto just die?

Goto comeback time

[raffs in japanese]

just to suffer

>A couple of old nip men put on a more energetic show than TOP PERFORMANCE CENTER TALENT WWE in flames

>BARRED FROM RINGSIDE DAMMIT I JUST WANTED ONE MATCH BETWEEN GOTO AND SUZUKI WITHOUT RUN INS FUCK THIS

YOSHI HASHI IS HELPING YES

>>91698 We're still waiting on iizuka too

Suzuki will nearly defeat death itself, but then the fucker will go for the Gotch.

SUPER USHIGOROSHI

I gotta say, watching WK LIVE is definitely different than watching it in stream.

During that little slapfight it seems that Suzuki cracked Goto more than a few times legit, the cheeky bastard.

>>91705 Look at his mouth.

>all these headbutts shibata return teasing?

Okay suzuki is retiring

Having Suzuki flee here doesn't match his character. Match was well booked but pos- Literally was typing this and saw him go back. DEEPEST LORE.

YES choke man survived and suzuki gun got BTFO'D by young lions. Fucking great. >>91710 HISTORY MAGGLE. I actually really like her.

>>91712 Suzuki Gun tried to make him flee but he came back once he realized what was going on

Good night sweet prince

>>91715 Yep, that is why I changed up the post. It was a great character defining moment. I am a self admitted Suzuki mark and have been for years, but that was the truly in character thing for him to do, and great booking. I just wish the fucker would stop going for the Gotch, in kayfabe it is his biggest weakness at this point. I hope he makes it to one more WK, but seeing him go out this way wouldn't be too bad.

I bolieve that match alone has WWE beat tbh

Guys this is great and all but all the titles are changing and I'm getting worried for the main event.

>>91719 Me too, like I want Kenny to defend but I see how having Chris Jericho's name in the US Title history books would be enough for him to win the main event.

Match of the night time

Really wish this wasn't a four way, but all four guys deserve the match, let us hope that they can salvage it.

Daryl Mysterio

Darriaru is extra fat tonight

>>91722 I think the 4 way compliments the jr. heavyweight style actually. Should be great

Fans aren't responding to Kushida like they used to. That has me a bit worried for him.

>>91725 Fair enough, I'm just not the biggest fan of how the Juniors have been booked this year. I'm willing to give the match an open mind though, I like all 4 men in the match.

>>91728 >I like all 4 men in the match.

>>91727 >WE'VE GOTTA GO BACK MARTY, WE'RE GONNA MAKE 9/11 LOOK LIKE CHILD'S PLAY

>>91728 I'm expecting almost no rest spots since people can just switch out when they need to rest

>>91729 Well, which don't you like? Scurll?

Scurlls mask has those Liv Morgan eyes, all fucked up.

WEEP WOOP

>>91733 I think you mean REAL CUTE.

>>91735 >Having one eye more open than the other is cute

This is as good as I thought it was going to be

Okay, that spot got a cheap chuckle.

average 205 live match

>>91741 >Not just doing rollups and restholds

At the New Japan Fan Fiesta, they announced New Japan Pro Wrestling will be officially licensed for Fire Pro Wrestling World, with a story mode where you are a young lion trying to become IWGP champion. New Japan Pro Wrestling officially in Fire Pro Wrestling World

>>91742 Don't forget the PLANC…. Errr, DIVE TO THE OUTSIDE GETS ALL OF THEM (doesn't become part of the story of the match at all).

>>91743 Guess im gonna spend some xmas bucks on this now

>>91743 >young lion trying to become IWGP champion. My kawato fantasies can come true!

>>91745 >>91743 They won't be in it until it is released on PS4. So maybe at the end of 2018?

>>91747 ps4 release is this summer

POWDAHHHH

Whatever that spot was supposed to be they fucked it up bad

Ospreay does it.

Hiromu was robbed

fuuuuuuuuck

OSPREAY BEATS SCURLL NIGHT OF UPSETS CONFIRMED

I wanted Hiromu but man that was fantastic.

God damn this match was everything I wanted it to be. Too bad hiromu lost. Is marty's umbrella gimmicked? It looked like he smacked the fuck out of them.

Fuck this shit. Giving it to that fucking faggot.

That was a great match! I guess he is sticking around more and not becoming William Oxley on NXT. I'm 4 out of 6 in picks so far.

>>91758 Ospreay said recently that he wants to be a heavyweight. He isn't going to the wwe, at least no so for now.

Okay big boy matches now

Bah god a little kid just attacked the ace.

Nice, they got the narrator that does all the Gaki New Year's specials

Oldace is gonna get stabbed a second time.

Coldsteel versus aceman

These revpro faggots annoy the shit out of me. Fucking brits should end themselves faster than they already are.

MY NAMES JAY, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME JAY WHITE THE ACE KILLER. HAS A NICE RING TO IT DONTCHA THINK?

I wonder why they gave the Switchblade persona to Jay White and what it is suppose to represent. Other than school shooter Kenny Omega.

So how many fujoshi are gonna buy switchblade pendants now?

>>91767 I first thought it was gonna be Sami Callighan but Jay Hwaito fits the edgy columbine gimmick more. I think he is gonna other a) beat tana or b) leave for another company you cant recover your career after losing your first match in this high setting…
