<tfw no cowitoh well i guesss the shows could still be a nice watch

>>94462 There's new young lions coming in soon I bet, and you can find a new favorite among them to hold you over untill kawato makes his triumphant return as the Missile Kid

>>94464 >find a new favorite That sounds nice, I need a new boi to sponsor. I mite root more for redshoesson man until I find a new boi. >Missile Kid MISSIRUUUU KAWATOOOOOOO

>>94464 He'll return with fixed teeth and non crooked eyes

>>94466 lmao

>>94466 THIS IS A NO-BULLY KAWATO ZONE

Real NJPW fans cheer for pic related.

>>94469 I cheer for the true ace of this company, call me a simple mark but I like rooting for the good guy and I relish seeing him overcome the odds.

>>94470 Tacos looks like a corrupted version of Okada, I think that's why I like him so much.

>>94488 Yeah he really is a shitty okada, He should really try and do his own thing though, I could see him doing a fairly good heel turn in the future, maybe join suzuki gun or something

THE NEW BEGINNING in SAPPORO 雪の札幌2連戦 OPENING MOVIE

>>94540 >Showing NXT legend Trevor Mann

I like jay white but he looks cringy as fuck, how do we fix him?

>>94548 You don't, you just let him be and let him develop like EBIRU.

Who's got their tickets already?

I'm gonna watch. Hopefully to distract me from all the sad news I got.

>>94595 You family member in hospital anon?

>>94599 ye

>>94600 Sounds like things are pretty rough, sending good prayers your way brother

>>94601 Thanks. 1 hour left dudes.

>>94602 4 hours actually. Tomorrow starts at 1EST tonight starts at 4 EST

>>94603 ah fuck mixed it up, oh well.

Okay now there's actually only an hour left

>>94613 you already know I'm here.

>>94615 because the "last show" is actually the middle show of the tour, with osaka being the real last show and okada headlining that. Kenny's show also starts earlier so that it's easier for US fans to watch

>>94616 But still Suzuki is a bigger name than fucking Jay White.

No idea if tana is retaining or not, Gut says they should take the belt off him so he can heal but I've been saying that since ZSJ challenged him. Suzuki is the biggest contender he's faced though and he REALLY needs to take time off to heal now. I've been wrong to doubt the ace before though so it's 50/50 honestly

>>94617 I agree, but if you look at the big picture, Tana opens up with main eventing the tour and okada ends it, so in that sense it's an ace sandwich

Bad news guys, Kojima's replacement is Manabu nakanishi of all people. you couldn't even spring for nagata gedo?

>>94618 They have him booked for future shows but they could easily take him off. >>94619 Tana and Okada are my aces not Omega.

>>94620 Nagata is too busy teaching the young lions probably.

For those on NJPWWorld the UI update makes the yellow link at the top default commentary the language you set the site to now. So like with fantastica mania just use the video links on the front page to pick which version you want

Jay white looks like he used to be fat once upon a time

>sticky thanks mods

What's everyone's predictions for kitamira's best of seven series? He's already 0-1

>>94626 1-6

Jesus mike is beating the shit out of kita

>>94627 my bet is 3-4.

Kita is getting really good at nearfalls

0-2

>>94630 If you're good at nearfalls then you got a future in this company from what I see.

Kita is looking better and better in the ring each match. Remember, young lions are generally booked to lose, the trial is actually somewhat legit, but it is about giving him an opportunity to have a spotlight on him specifically (instead of just being another young lion) and seeing what he needs to work on most during excursion. Why did Elgin get shitcanned in the west again?

>>94633 >Why did Elgin get shitcanned in the west again? Because some roasty accused a friend of his of rape but didn't go to the police.

>>94634 Ah yeah, he pulled the old "hey m8, I've seen false accusations and shit" line and thought nothing of it, to get fucked hard a year or two later, right?

YOU FUCKING TEASES

Came in just in time for miho yes.

>>94635 Yeah, still she should've went to the police.

>>94637 This leads to the ultimate question for NJPW followers. Miho Abe or Tokyo Latina? >>94638 True, but it was her responsibility wasn't it? Not Elgin's? As in, she wanted him to shitcan a guy based on her testimony and that alone iirc?

>>94640 Yes it was her's. I never said she was never at fault. Though it did suck that Elgin talked trash about Cobb and War Machine.

>>94640 Miho.

Suzuki gun has the same match every show but it's still good so I don't care

>>94640 MuffinAss

>hopefully we will have minimal suzuki gun involvement in our main event lmao

>>94640 mao

>>94641 Didn't say you had, was just trying to piece together what happened. Kinda shitty, Elgin has been one of the few properly entertaining big guys in recent years, I tend to enjoy his work.

>>94647 Alright, and yeah he still is. Still kinda side with him when all the redditfags booed him at New Year's Dash.

>>94645 And this time there's no Yoshi hashi to make the big save.

>>94648 Eh, I disagree with 95% of what Corny says when it doesn't concern the payrolls and gate takings of 1960s-1990s US wrestling or the finer points of working as a heel manager, but one thing I am with him 100% on is that the IWC is mostly trash. I just see it as being trash for a different reason to him. I guess that people are just salty that Elgin is a big guy UUUU.

Vince, did you watch that? That was a 10 man filler match that was better paced and booked than your 6 man clusterfucks. And it wasn't even a very good 10 man.

Elgin stood up against the modern day witch hunts and got publicly eviceviscerated for it. Not much else that can be said but at least japan is safe from this shit

>>94650 Yeah, some of them are alright as long as they aren't the ones bitching about WWE only to pay more money to see that shit.

>>94651 NJPW does multiman tags better than literally any company. It's their bread and butter.

>>94653 True, I feel that the IWC is mostly battered housewives to WWE, and marks who think they are smarks who think they are "true fans".

Kushida should get the never title. They need a junior to win it and he needs to dip out of the junior division at least for a while.

>>94656 This is actually a good idea

>>94654 That was my point, it was a mediocre NJPW multiman (by their standards) to open the show, and it was so far ahead of what people are used to. >>94656 I really get sad whenever I see KUSHIDA doing his thing. The guy is so amazingly talented, arguably the best guy in the company on a pound for pound basis, but he needs himself a personality transplant. Maybe working in the NEVER scene with people like Goto would do that for him.

>no whores also >bob sapp mentioned SAPPTIME return when?

>>94655 I still love the REAL rowdy ECW crowds. The new IWC crowds try to hijack shows like them but they come off as more annoying. >>94656 I'm sure he can be stiff too.

>>94659 Njpw can only afford one whore per show.

Sorry for mentioning Tokyo Latina last match and jynxing it lads.

>>94660 The ECW crowd was lightning in a bottle, and it worked beautifully for them in that time and place. What the fuckwits try nowadays is a hollow recreation, they aren't doing it because it is the natural progression of their show, they are doing it because they think that it is what a crowd has to do. It is flat as fuck AND ruins the show.

>>94663 Also, they have no where near the balls ECW crowds had.

>Ace vs Ace damn main event this early?

>>94664 That is true. The average hijacking fan would have a fucking panic attack if they ever found themselves in a "somebody give me a chair" moment. At least the CZW crowd are fun as fuck. Its not my thing (I'm admittedly a cynical jaded fucker who harps on about muh psychology) but that crowd seem to genuinely enjoy themselves.

>>94666 sup satan

>>94666 (checked) So far them and the nips have the best crowds.

>>94668 The poms have some good crowds when it doesn't get hijacked (some of Progress's stuff seems to be bretty gud if the whatcucks don't show up for a start), and from personal experience I can say that Australian crowds are generally pretty good. The American crowds seem to have gone wrong somewhere in the last 20 years though, don't know what point it happened at though. Also TRUE ACE OF THE COMPANY GETS THE PINFALL

>ace taking pins C'mon gedo this is garbage booking

Based chase owens putting over young talent once in a while.

Makabe's gimmick should be that he takes away people's hearing

FARKING PUMPED FOR THIS TH- OH SHIT AGAIN?

Who here hyped for the best part of Bullet Club? >tfw Vince has never heard of Tongans We truly live on the best timeline lads.

>>94669 >The American crowds seem to have gone wrong somewhere in the last 20 years though, don't know what point it happened at though. When WWE fucked up and screwed D-Bry out of Mania plans even though he was white hot. Now the fans think anything that's a main eventer is a threat except Cena, even if they boo him they cheer him when he wins. It's the reason why when some American fans came to New Year's Dash they booed Okada.

Fale is gonna kill the announcer for real tonight

>>94676 Why the fuck would you have booed Okada at NYD? Sure he is still technically on the heel side of the tweener divide, but he has worked face in every major feud he has had for over a year. Was it just salt over Naito getting more development than they wanted? I mean, I was a little salty when I watched the match happen, but once I had a few minutes to think about it I realised that it gave Okada the chance to BREAK another record to build the reign more, and also gave Naito the chance to do more development, work with some other talent (the Jericho angle should be nice) and then capture the belt in a more white hot fashion than before. Did they just get mad because THEY DIDN'T GET THE MOMENT THEY WANTED THEY BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THIS THEY WENT TO JAPAN FOR THIS or something?

Did Henare stop being a Young Lion?

>Pacific Islanders vs Maoris Its like the fucking state of origin, never seen so many Australian rugby players in a wrestling ring.

>>94679 Maybe. He has actual ring gear now. Maybe he just sort of stopped being a young lion like finlay.

Dude Tama tonga is on fire tonight

>>94678 Basically that. >>94680 Maoris are also Pacific Islanders technically.

>>94683 I know, but you try telling one. Its just a running joke here in Aus, the state of origin is QLD's Pacific Islanders vs NSW's Maoris. >Dat three amigos finishing with a delayed jackhammer FUCKING NOICE

Cool finisher tama.

Tama with the modified tazzmission… Tazz to njpw?

>>94685 Tama Never champ when?

>fale still attacking the announcer Lmao

>>94686 More like >"What's Sama Samoa doing in the IMPACT! Zone?" All jokes aside, wasn't bad.

>>94689 >What's No Chance Tally doing in the RAM zone?

Cody's america coat was much cooler than his fag cape

Time for THE GAY COMMUNITY team. Seriously, Juice, Ibushi and Dave are fucking great, I hope that they find a place to put them on the card to let them escape the endless tag matches.

Is David Finlay channeling Kendrick's indies aesthetic more and more every show, or is it just me?

FUCCC sorry am late af tonite was doing normie party shit, just in time for Hungman Pagy tho, my Bullet Boi!

>>94694 Juice yeah, Ibushi should've won the IC title, I haven't seen Dave get a chance to shine though. >>94696 What was the normie party for?

>>94696 >normie party shit

>>94694 Ibushi isn't getting any bigger in njpw unless he signs a contract. Even tana said in in an interview that he should just sign already.

>>94699 Agreed. >>94697 It will be fun to watch Ibushi chase Minoru Suzuki's IC title while Tanahashi recovers

>>94699 >t.Hiroshi Tanahashi >>94700 I'm a big Tana mark but I hope he gets a BREAK.

David finlay should be in the g1 this year. That's the best way to get people over tbh

>>94702 He's a junior, he's going to be in bosj.

>>94697 Its a weekend day, that's enough of an exuse for a drink in my country. Just dipped out after socializing and shit. "Oh anon watches wrestling he is gonna go watch the G1" >>94698 my face exactly. sad that I missed a lot. fuckit ill rewatch the parts i missed later

>>94704 >Its a weekend day I don't get them.

>standing corkscrew moonsault how the fuck did you do that ibushi

>>94704 You missed some fun tag matches and tama debuting a new finisher

Hangman prepping for his big match against joey ryan

HUNGMAN WINS >>94705 not much to live for here in henareland thats why a weekend is usually normie time >>94707 dang, will watch later

>>94709 Well, there's birthdays, weddings, and all the wholesome normalfag shit at least.

Remember when the commentators said the winner of cody ibushi would get a title shot?

>God bless omega and god bless kenny omega Cody can be funny sometimes

This match COULD be great. except it's yoshi hashi

Ready for y2j run in?

>>94714 >Ready for y2j run in? >bolieving

>>94714 not till osaka brother

Don running from the wrestlers always gets me

Tacos got cool new gear, he's going over brother.

I don't care that Ospreay is a fag, he's a good flippy dude.

Yoshi looks a lot less gay in his new outfit

CEASE AND DESIST INCOMING

imagine how cool it would have been if ospregay did his fake tope flippy spider thingy into a tranquilo roll taunt dam gedo hire me as a booker, mane

I don't even want to look away from this long enough to post. This match is incredible

Holy fuck that may have been the best low blow I've ever seen

That combo was fucking slick, especially after watching juice and finlay completely fucking up.

I think the factions need a shift up. Like someone turns heel and joins another faction.

Naito not paying attention to yoshi even while he's beating him up might be might be the spot of the year for me. In other news holy shit yoshi showed an emotion.

>Have to go get dinner with the missus >Gonna miss muh boy winning the IC belt Kill me /wooo/

>naito literally giving -negative one hundred fucks about yoshihashi just like the fans

>>94729 I think that's the point.

>>94731 They have the best set of workers out of every faction.

SANADA looks cool again, thank god.

>>94732 It was something the commentators said

>>94733 was JUST about to say this

>>94730 poor yoshitatsu that shit was funny seeing nacho ignore his attacks like a zero hit damage boss

>sending goto out on his own to get his ass wooped Okada is slowly turning heel

Pantskada is worst okada. Bring back shortskada.

>>94739 He looks like a flashy martial artist in them.

At least, Gedo is a heel. Everyone else is iffy.

>Gedo doesn't get pinned worst booker

Sanada vs okada is going to be excellent

They ARE turning okada heel. Holy fuck this is crazy

Sanada san I don't care why you chose los or why you chose new japan, what you really want is this(title). Come take back your real voice. >Sanada drops the mic Is that so you bastard

sanada might win

>>94747 They build up Okada by hotshotting him.

>>94748 Forgot to add you might be right.

Jay White is way too edgy for CHAOS.

>>94750 It's all part of the big chaos heel turn as a stable

>>94751 I wanna cheer for RPG 3K, Ishii, and Goto tho. So who would turn face in its place?

>>94752 Bullet club and LIJ.

I am at an impasse. I like kenny but i like jay klebold too wat do

>>94754 Root for a time limit draw.

>>94753 I kinda get that, but I barely see LIJ doing it besides them being an Austin type face. BC has been hinting at it for a while with how even Tama Tonga paid tribute to Honma and how the tongans bowed to Nagata. >>94754 Jay White winning it would make a legit threat and also make a new rival for Omega.

>>94756 Chono gave naito the fist bump at the g1 finals and evil and sanada were clearly a face tag team at WK. Hiromu was close to turning face with daryl too.

>>94757 Yeah, I just saw Chono as similar characters, but I agree with the rest.

Heel and face don't really matter here, even tana turns heel if he notices the crowd is cheering more for his opponent.

>>94759 Suzuki gun and taguchi jpn are the only pure heel and face stables left really

KKK are taking the belts back tomorrow.

Switchblade gonna cut apart the bullet club

I'm getting the feeling the young cucks are costing omega the title tomorrow.

>>94763 cody is

Do you think NJPW would do a major title change on everyone of these new beginning shows? Tana loses the belt tonight, omega tomorrow, and okada in osaka? booking wise everything makes sense although okada losing may not be the best.

Oh fuck yeah main event time

>>94765 I cant see omega losing it unless he wins it back by All_In_2018 for the eventually Cawdy Runnels match. Unless he wins it back. >okada >losing yeah doubt. especially to LIJ's 3rd man after eviru and nacho. i wonder if they are building toward a bushi v okada match next. Tana is the only one who might lose it this series.

You see ace.

lol Suzuki had to rush it

Big Match Tana

also succkycuccky gun is winnin' 144 perchance perscents sure. They usually like to give the faction leaders belts and now that succzu lost the Neber belt he needs a replacement. I don't think SUGU have any belts on them currently.

Jesus he fell right on his knee

No one does rope BREAK spots like suzuki

Suzuki > Jay White

This match blows away the WK one.

Not even the gotch is enough

Take your time and rest well ace ;_;

By god what a finish

Not even a bit of suzuki gun interference, holy shit.

I'm just glad Tana lost to someone I liked.

>>94728 Made it in time to see the match, fuck that was well done.

>>94783 Makes me think it was more Jay White screwing up at WK.

>>94785 I think it's just that suzuki's style complemented an injured tana.

>>94786 That too.

>>94785 Suzuki works remarkably well with injured/otherwise occupied talent, and whereas the white match was half Tana pretending he didn't have an issue with the knee, this match could setup the recovery/surgery he needs. White/Tana was poor booking of two people with no chemistry, one who was injured and one who was debuting as a serious threat but losing. It was honestly the biggest booking error I remember NJPW doing in a few years, but I don't blame either wrestler for it.

>6am gmt tomorrow Oh no.

>>94792 It starts at like midnight tonight for me which is earlier than any njpw show in a while and kinda nice. As good as the tana suzuki match was last night I still almost fell asleep during it because I was so tired

Show starts in like half an hour. Who's up?

>>94943 Is it gonna be just me

>>94945 They're saving the ace for the main event of the big shows

What I miss?

>>94947 Tanahashi is off the show. Other than that nothing

Nevermind guess nothing. >>94948 I suspected that. I'm glad he can finally rest. Back to the world title chase.

Juice is in pretty good shape

>1 arm spinebuster oh fuck that was good

0-3

>>94952 my 1-6 is coming true

YES TAICHI

Reminder that even Aces need to sleep.

>>94955 sleep tight ace man

Was Taguchi trying to cuck Taichi?

>>94957 I think so lol

It's amazing how well tiger and liger can still go

Red shoes' seed is pretty good.

>>94959 Suzuki is fucking 49 too. What magic do the nips possess?

>>94961 I think they just work styles and schedules that promote longevity

TAICHI GOING OVER STRONG

Taguchi Rapean

"She BROKE my ass" - Ryusuke Taguchi

Also Leo Tonga's name changed.

Who's ready for HIKULEO

Is hiku leo not a young lion anymore?

>>94969 >Is hiku leo not a young lion anymore? Was he ever?

>>94970 He was called one when he first came in to replace kenny omega.

>>94971 Then he immediately joined BC.

>>94973 Who implied that?

>>94974 The world. All jokes aside, I'm tired as fuck from a busy weekend and just happy to see mein negro Yano and Ishii getting some good results in.

>>94973 I always look forward to yano's matches, he adds some GOOD variety

Here comes the best part of the BC. >>94976 >>94975 He actually tries to have a coherent match unlike other comedy acts.

Honorary tongans coming through

>>94976 >>94977 Indeed, he remembers that a comedy wrestler needs to be on a power level below the top guys, but still needs to put on a proper match. I think he is perfectly comfortable in the role he is in, and it shows in his work. Time for THE ACE Makabe

I hope honma comes back

How come even though Fale is less athletic then Cena, he still knows how to take a bump better?

>>94984 trained better

>>94985 The dude knows how to flip into a perfect bump unlike Cena who fucking botched that same suplex.

>chase ownes got the pin Holy fuck

>>94984 Fale is something that is all too rare since wrestling left the carnie era - a big guy that works at a similar rate to smaller men. Most of the time big guys reduce their effort and either go big as fuck (live Mabel) or just get into overly hardcore wrestling where they bleed like a motherfucker, take hits and fall down twice in a match (the Abdullah route). Not saying those styles can't make very entertaining wrestlers (I've enjoyed work from both of the above mentioned) but they often slack on their cardio and BREAKfall like scared children (which makes some sense when one fall could fuck them up for life if they take it wrong). Fale is a breath of fresh air for very big guys.

>>94987 Well, it was a young lion. >>94988 Now all that needs to happen is for The Elite to be kicked out of The BC…

GoD, Owens, Fale, Tokyo Pimp and HIKULEO give me hope that Bullet Club can uncuck itself once the Elite split actually happens. I just hope that Cody rotates out by then.

>all this destruction of lightweight rails and chairs it's like watching a 70s godzilla folm

WHAT DA FUG Whyy the early start the show is almost over smhtbhfam gotttdam missed everything again

Makabe vs suzuki sounds pretty good honestly

>>94994 To be fair the timepostings were in the op. But yeah idk why they did that.

>>94994 Early start so the US title goes on during a semi decent hour for US fans. You haven't missed much honestly, the juice kita match was very good and chase owens got a pin but other than that nothing crazy

>>94999 (checked) Nice trips

>>94996 my mistake its usually starts two hours from now in my cuntry I just came to shitpost on wooo and saw that this thread was bumping… I cannot into time convert its always wrong on my end. Ah fuck it its my fault will catch up later…again… >>94997 hows steroidmura going so far? all losses i guess? also chase going over is the craziest thing Ive ever heard… im guessing he pinned oka as I look at the match schedule.

>>95001 Yeah, you should check the op and if your time is not there convert to your time on a search engine. Also, yeah all losses but Kita is getting really good at nearfalls,

>>95000 Same to you

>>95001 Kita is turning into a really awesome power wrestler He did this insane single arm spinebuster and some other great moves. He should go on excursion though if he wants to get mega over

Hangman goes over brother. Also what's the plan for ibushi now even

>>95006 This is going to be dark times

>>95008 At least Suzuki is the IC champ…

LOS

LIJ has nothing but cool costumes now

>>95011 LIJ is one of the two groups where I like every member.

Cold Skull's mask is much better tonight. Still not as good as his older ones.

Los Burritoales out in force tonight. im having tacos for dinner later too, guess that's related

Okada tried to flash everyone…

according to commentary okada says "I am awesome" when he does his corner pose

>>95017 >Miz knock off

>>95012 The only people I don't like in NJPW are nakanishi, scurll, david finlay, henare, yoshi hashi, and tanga loa. Everyone else is good in my book.

>>95020 I like most of that list besides scurll maybe. Nakanishi more for sentimental value towards a vet. >>95021 Oh look he's watching a Cody match.

Icehead won

yoshohosho angrily attacking nacho while nacho is ignoring him is the best part of this Sapporo tour.

bucks are losing tonight

>>95025 Oh really?! How'd you come to that conclusion?

NIKU JACKUSOOOOOOON MATTO JACKUSOOOOOOON

>>95026 Leads to the elite BREAKing off from the BC. cody gets pissed at them and kenny for losing

>>95028 I was being sarcastic

>>95028 Also, this implies Cody will lead the BC…

I think Matt might've legit got hurt.

Or he's really good at selling.

Ok Matt's pretty good at selling.

Missed like 20 minutes getting tacos but im back to see the bucks retain.

>>95034 Bucks are great.

ROLLU UPPERU

Putting Sho and Yoh with Rocky was a great decision, they can work matches well and he can work their personality for them. Good on Gedo and the boys for this, I was skeptical to see Rocky and Trent BREAK up last year but I think that I am now comfortable saying it was for the best.

Kenny gonna lose tonight

>>95039 >Cody

bigggest upset ever tonight

Damn that padding is really thin

Damn it's already the last main event, I'm gonna have to watch the rest later.

JAY WHITE WITH THE SELF ROCK BOTTOM

Now THAT'S a chair spot

inb4 jai whyte rollup win

This match is definitely ending with jay winning by interference.

>>95050 The rollup IS the most protected finisher in wrestling

Wow that little kick out was good.

That was the most discrete kickout I've ever seen jay, good job

lol fuck your finisher

Kicked out of jay's finisher the FIRST TIME IT'S EVER BEEN USED IN A MATCHA

kenE with an equally late latefall forsure thought JW was winnin there

OH SHITU

HAHAHAHAH EVERY TITLE CHANGES THIS TOUR WORLD CHAMPION SANADA

Oh shit is kenny gonna be fired?

OH SHIT HUNGMAN INCOMING

BARRETUKORABU BROKEN?

GET THE TONGANS OUT HERE DAMMIT

Mary Scurll is like a little boy that just wants mummy and daddy to stop fighting.

Now kiss.

IBUSH KOTA this is teh bets romcom ever

>NOW the ticker blasters go off Jesus christ, NJPW really knows it draws with the fujoshi audience.

When's the live sex celebration?

GOLDEN LOVERS REUNION

>>95075 >>Cody is the new leader of the edgy club

I think its way too early for cody to take over since the big payoff paperview is at september 1 and if kenny isnt there they aint draing any dimes maybe they do a series like Okada maybe golden lovers vs cody and hangman maybe we have to tune into the next episod e of BEING THE ELITE

>>95073 Ask and ye shall receive.

>>95078 Maybe cody and hangman win the tag titles in the meantime.

>>95081 Are the Tongans gonna finally do their own thing?

What if the tongans stick with omega as the bullet club and everyone else becomes "the elite"?

At this point bullet club is basically over. The tongans and yujiro have their faction. Hangman marty and cody are their own faction, and omega teams with ibushi now. The real question is what do the bucks do

Say it with me WORLD CHAMPION SANADA

>>95083 maybe King Owens runs the Tongan/Bullet Club in Japan, Kenny joins the Gay Community and the American Club become The Elite.

>>95084 I'm just glad Yujiro is in the cool part, and that Omega is out of the elite shit probably.

>NEW BEGINNING in Sapporo hey, makes sense now

>>95084 In b4 Bullet Club Wolfpack and Bullet Club Hollywood to milk more merch. What would make more sense is to kill off the Bullet Club name for now and the tongans use the Guerillas of Destiny name and the American Bullet Club is The Elite like Rin >>95086 says. But that Hot Topic merch deal and the fact Cody saved Tama from The Young Bucks poisoning him on the Being the Elite show puts the above stated most likely not happen.

>>95087 See I think the tongans are the most boring part of bullet club because they're just doing the shit they've been doing for the past 5 years with nothing new. It's kind of boring and stale honestly. They'll probably keep the Bullet club shirts and just pretend like nothing happened in the overall story of the faction and become a nostalgia act like GBH was.

>>95090 Tongans were the most badass part of The BC imo.

my guess of what will likely happen: kenny and cody fight for awhile then resume sameoldsameold >>95089 >Bullet Club Wolfpack and Bullet Club Hollywood <Bullet Club Arising and Bullet Club Loyal merchsales will skyrocket

<Cody [Redacted] is already considered the new leader and Kenny has left. cody must have edited this

>>95091 None of them are that great of wrestlers and none of their characters are that exciting. I'm glad you like them but they just feel like filler talent to me at this point. They all need a massive character overhaul even moreso than the elite guys. At least kenny and cody took a risk with this BREAKup angle, the tongans are getting pretty stagnant. If they end up actually contributing to this angle in some way that may be the push that gets them back on track but as of right now they're losing steam badly.

>>95095 Damn that's a sad photo in hindsight

>>95096 It was taken before the show and Cody posted it… just be a happy family again dammit ;_; yall got ALL_IN_2018 to look forward too ;_;

>>95097 Mom and dad are back together.

HOLY SHIT i really wasnt expecting much from these shows but both main events were incredible. Better than what we got at WK i would say. The golden lovers/bullet club split up thing has been built up so well since dominion last year that its really made me appreciate kenny as a storyteller, none of the angles done after the matches have really needed long speeches to be understood or stupid remarks about being over or whats "best for business" and yet it all means so much more. tana is still the ace in my heart

the usos have shit suicide dives

>>95367 ah shit wrong thread fucc me

>>95243 >tana is still the ace in my heart

>>95367 WHAT ARE JIMMY AND JEY USO DOING IN THE TOKYO DOME

>>96264 >ywn see rikishi's kids vs haku's kids while vince is still alive

BTE IS DRUUUUUG FREE and thats the way to be

>>96392 Did the bucks join the gay community?

>>96395 Kenny should just go ahead and name his new stable "the gay community"

>>96395 >>96396 I wonder if the bucks are gonna bring SUCK IT back

>>96392 >njpw guy steals cm punk's gimmick just like hideo stole his gts

Start times for the road to shows next week, hopefully we won't need to make a new thread for them but we'll probably need one for osaka.

>>96636 Nice touch with the young lion pictures in the background. NJPW really is the king of kino.

>>96636 I'm assuming these ones are filmed live. I also realized that Chaos has 6 titles and are challenging for 2 more on Feb 6. Gedo pls >kazooo HeavyQ >Ospregay Jnr >Gotoslee[ NEVER >Dylan Klebold US >JPOP KKK Jnr Tag >>96638 Finlay's son is basically still a youngboy in my eyes. >jay_reveal if that aint foreshadowing I dont know what is

Shit I guess kawato really is the next ace

>>96856 obligatory next ace pictures

>>96861 I don't see Kitamura anywhere

>>96881 This is the next NJPW Ace we are talking about, not the next WWE Ace…

>>96881 >>96884 Speaking of kita, Here's his next few Best of seven matches planned out. If he was ever gonna make it an even 3-3 these would be the matches to do it with. Also it looks like the finals of his series will be at either the honor rising tour or past that on the anniversary show. My guess, He fights an ROH guy on the honor rising show and that's his last match before his excursion there begins.

>>96886 if cowitoh cant get a win keytarmoorar has no chance 0/7 to make him humble then off to WWE for excursion.

>>96887 Kitamura is a draw brother he's going over strong HH

This osaka new beginning show is gonna be weird, 5 of the 9 matches are singles matches.

>>96941 t. Gedo

>>96942 wh-wh- who are you talking about? Also make sure to tune into NJPWWorld for live coverage of the road to new beginning shows from kouraken hall! First one is tonight and starts at 4:30 EST/3:30 CST!

not sure what the movie is about since i dont understand cantonese but it looks like tana is a heel and of course okada is the face chapion of LPW. maybe its a story of tanahashi and kawato

!!

>>96962 Looks like the story is about tana's kid finding out his dad is a bad guy pro wrestler and having to deal with kids hating and bullying his dad. Fun idea for a family movie actually

>>96965 I JUST saw this, I may have to start watching CMLL soon

>>96965 >>96967 Those tights are awesome.

Who's all gonna be watching tonight? I'll stick around for the first few matches but I'll have to catch most of it tomorrow

>>96969 I'm gonna watch. I was a afraid I was gonna still be sick but I've gotten better. Also, they transferred my dad to another hospital.

>>96970 Glad to hear you're feeling better anon hope your dad is doing okay too, sending good prayers his way

>haven't paid my sub yet shit

um anyone got any streams?

goddammit looks like I might have to miss this day

>>96975 Try taima.tv/wooo/

>>96977 Shit *http://taima.tv/r/wooo/

>>96977 >>96978 They weren't having it but someone shared a link there.

>>96977 Taima isn't streaming this. https://www.synchtu.be/r/CozyTube >English Yeah I know.

>>96980 Fuck, why did it unregister my payment?

>>96981 Dunno, you could probably re register pretty quickly though

>>96982 I'd need to ask for the paypal tbh.

Liger's theme always makes me smile

>>96985 Yeah that'll do it lol

>>96986 eh I'll do it later than, the only really important match is probably the Kitamura match, it's not like it's the osaka show.

Oka looks like he's 10 years older than he actually is.

English commentary seems to suggest tongan BC are siding with kenny instead of cody

>>96988 He's only a couple years older than me. Crazy. I hope he becomes another tough Kobashi type dude. >>96990 Kevin Kelly is alright.

>>96991 Oka probably has the most potential to be a long term main eventer of any of that last batch of young lions. Kevin is a really great play by play, but just him by himself is kinda dry honestly. Still very informative though

BIG MATCH KITAMURA

It's time for big kita's big win.

>>96992 tbh I prefer the dry shit compared to most other english speaking commentators. Makes it feel more sporty.

>>96995 I guess I'm used to having don callis who I really like on color. He usually tries to flesh out the story side of matches. Getting used to this though and the dryness does add something you're right.

>>96996 It gives it an old school wrestling vibe. A very comfy feeling.

>>96997 This has been a comfy show so far can't be cozy without kojima though

Kita noooooo

4-0 Kita is only winning the last one

>>96999 (checked) He still has a few more matches. Nice trips though.

Oh shit full taichi entrance with miho.

ayyy made i just in time for the best theme in wrestling history

>>97004 It feels like half the roster assaults the english announce team each show.

>>97005 I'd just do big brother bully shit to the young lions.

Is there any possibility of 3k BREAKing up?

Rpg Kkk gets better everytime I watch them, also I like how the new japan cards start with the weakest wrestlers on the bottom and build to their best at the end. Every match is more exciting than the last usually.

>>97008 No, they just formed.

>>97008 Not for a few years is my guess. Sho could be an awesome singles star though

>>97010 I know that, I watched them form but I mean in the far future. >>97011 Yeah, that's what I've been thinking, but I hope they stay together for a long while.

Is Henare still a young lion or no?

>>97013 Ithink he is a young jobber now since he got a gimmick now and is known as Toa Henare (Henry the warrior)

>>97015 More like henry the jobber

Pissed Juice was looking real heel there, for a second I thought he was going to attack henare.

RIP that young boi, he dindu nuthin.

Lil Redshoes is the new Kawato taking all these camera times and Suzuki bullies

>iizuka trying to do an actual move instead of a gimmick As bad as I thought it would be

Makabe vs suzuki is gonna be a fun match

It's a good thing Rocky is a weeb so he can translate.

It's a good thing the good guys were there to protect those young boys right?

Missed the finish had to restart browser umm guessing dq win for makeabe??? Jay Hwaito should be good too

>>97026 Nah just a normal pin for Makabe and Suzuki got assblasted.

Jay is growing a beard to help with his babyface.

>>97028 That's good.

>OSW review sign fuckin internet smarks get out of my nip grappling

>>97030 I guess we gotta move to All Japan or something right?

Red shoes no sold the fuck out of jay.

Oh look Finlay showing some shit.

oh wait nevermind

>>97033 Finlay not wanting to use the chair was the most personality he ever showed.

That saito suplex to the floor was killer looking. Gonna head to bed now though catch the main event tomorrow

>>97036 And that reversal to the finisher was pretty good. Also I don't see Chaos turning heel right now.

>>97035 The end of days is just a self rock bottom, the blade runner is literally just a renamed sister abigail

>>97040 >ace >not THE Ace

>>97040 okada SNACC i see how he got his dadbod

The hiromunaito sunset flip spit spot was neat

I hope gedo fires himself for that.

Tacos is going over brother.

>>97046 >implying Gedo's boy ain't going over

Why the fuck isnt darkness falls evil's finisher. >>97047 Gedo got dq'd for being an asshole.

>>97047 OH wait "Gedo's boy " I can't read.

>>97048 Cause his STO is actually really good for false finishes. He actually makes it look good too. >>97049 Yeah, nevermind. It seems like Gedo is a good booker.

Kawato has pants now

>>97054 must be learning from the ace

Chaos 2018 powertrip > Bullet Club 2015 powertrip ??
