This is a really well done fansub. The material is a bit old(right before Invasion Attack), but this is nothing short of quality.

The time thing is what is stopping me from ordering. I just don't think I will be able to catch them all live.

Not sure if everyone has heard (or knows) but Tenzan & Kojima, who are the current IWGP Tag Team Champions in Japan, are coming to Texas in October to wrestle for the NWA, so if you live in the US and are a fan of New Japan, this is an opportunity to see some NJPW stars.

Hope they get booked for an ROH show. Would be kind of stupid to come all the way over to America to wrestle only for NWA.

Those NWA shows are the 18th & 19th. The closest show ROH currently has to that is Glory By Honor XII in Chicago on the 26th so if those two don't have anything else going on & are willing to stay in the US for a week then it's possible.

Well New Japan and NWA have a working relationship, so there's a reason for it.

But New Japan also appears to have something worked out with ROH which is why we're bringing it up.

If IWGP tag champs comes to ROH,
I hope title move to Devitt&Anderson or Tonga.

If I'm honest, I wouldn't really enjoy seeing TenKoji in ROH. I rarely enjoy their matches

I think I'm gonna start watching the NJPW iPPV's like I keep up with WWE, TNA, and ROH PPV/iPPV. Does anyone have a list of the PPV's/iPPV's from NJPW this year?

Also, ROH
Spoiler: show
I hope Forever Hooligans defend the ROH World Tag Titles in NJPW against some of the talent their. Would really elevate the prestige of the belts in my opinion.

Mike you definitely should watch the shows. NJPW is the best wrestling product in the World right now. I'll rank the PPVs for you.
1: Wrestle Kingdom
2: Dominion
3: Invasion Attack
4: The New Beginning
5: Kizuna Road
6: New Japan Cup Finals
7: Dontaku

So you really need to go out of your way to watch Wrestle Kingdom, Invasion Attack and Dominion. The 3 best wrestling PPVs this year. If you want to watch all of the PPVs, that's fine too. Definitely start at Wrestle Kingdom.

On those shows is the following
Spoiler: show
Wrestle Kingdom Okada/Tanahashi + Nakamura/Sakuraba, New Beginning Tanahashi/Anderson, New Japan Cup Finals Okada/Goto, Invasion Attack Okada/Tanahashi, Dominion Goto/Shibata + Suzuki and Benjamin vs Nakamura/Ishii +Time Splitters/Forever Hooligans and Kizuna Road Okada/Devitt.
Literally the best matches you will see anywhere. Especially if you like realistic wrestling with no bullshit no-selling/fighting spirit spots 10 times in one match. The fact that more people want to get into NJPW gets me soooo happy if you couldn't already tell. Enjoy dude!

I think the current tours that many NJPW wrestlers are doing at this present time is a way for the New Japan to promote its product around the world (especially with the success of their IPPV's). The working with promotions based in America, incuding ROH and NWA, is a great way of promoting the product, and something which is common in Japan (most of the promotions work together). We in the UK are even getting Tanahashi in October.

Invasion Attack, Kingdom, and Dominion are my favorite this year so far. Waiting on my copy of the 7/20 Kizuna Road Akita to get here. I liked the 7/5 Kizuna Road too.

3. G1 Climax – Block B: Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Shelton Benjamin - **3/4

4. G1 Climax – Block A: Katsuyori Shibata vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr. - ***1/2

5. G1 Climax – Block B: Tetsuya Naito vs. Yujiro Takahashi - **

6. G1 Climax – Block B: Yuji Nagata vs. Minoru Suzuki - ***1/2

7. G1 Climax – Block A: Togi Makabe vs. Hirooki Goto - ***1/2

Yeah, it was getting really good but the last lariat didn't look so effective, and the ref totally botched the ending. Other than that, really good stuff.
