I truly appreciate any enlightenment you can give. It really means a lot that you take time out of your day to interact with fan communities like ours.IanRiccaboni wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 6:17 pmHa! I will never argue opinion or creative, even ideas that I had a part in, which are few and far between. However, I will advise and try to educate when I can. Brody has used this move for a bit. It is Gonzo like but not necessarily the Muppet.famicommander wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 5:12 pm Ricky Bones with the FATALITY
Just kidding BRM, I actually agree with the majority of what you said.
I will admit - this really stunk. I used to use Wiki as a jumping off for our War of the Wars and Global Wars tours for some of the New Japan talent I had not yet called.Big Red Machine wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 6:28 pmAh.

I shall blame the nutjobs at Wikipedia for removing the names of the wrestlers' moves form the bottom of their articles.
Do you ever speak to Chris Charlton, (@reasonjap), Ian. He's a foutain of knowledge on New Japan both historically and current New Japan, he always seems pretty approachable on twitter and would a great base to work from I imagine.IanRiccaboni wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 6:33 pmI will admit - this really stunk.

I won't lie, I have had and still have commentators that I've had qualms about mostly due to either their voice or delivery, but I'm shocked to hear this regarding Charlton. I think he sounds normal, if a bit nerdy, and performs a specific commentary role so excellently. Though I guess it must be common sentiment since it's been repeated by a few people here already. Shame it's a barrier to some people because I am continually impressed by his knack for it.famicommander wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 2:04 pm It's not his knowledge or personality that is a problem. He clearly has a lot to contribute to the business. It's just the sound of his voice. You know how they say ugly people have a face for radio? Charlton has a voice for silent films.

He's been doing commentary for New Japan since the summer. He authored two books on New Japan history, that combined with his Twitter presence and his familiarity with podcasting got him to announce some shows for the G1 during the slow weeks of the tournament. He was basically plugged in to do the interpreting during promos and add some tidbits, but he's stuck along, calling Wrestle Kingdom and even leading this recent tour of house shows. I think his commentary is featured on the AXS NJPW shows from the last few weeks?And I think the 1/5 show is free if you log onto NJPW World. (I'm giving you all this context because I think you'd like him and I need the validation.)Big Red Machine wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 5:32 pm Having never heard of Mr. Charlton, can someone please inform me which promotions he works for so that I can listen to him and make up my own mind?
