Re: The NJPW Thread
This is a really well done fansub. The material is a bit old(right before Invasion Attack), but this is nothing short of quality.
Re: The NJPW Thread
The time thing is what is stopping me from ordering. I just don't think I will be able to catch them all live.SamoaNOAH wrote:Oh to be single again and have the time to watch ...Shook1 wrote:So all NINE G1 events are available in a package deal on USTREAM. $150, a little over $16 per.

Re: The NJPW Thread
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.
Re: The NJPW Thread
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.DXvsNWO1994 wrote: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.

Re: The NJPW Thread
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.fm20000 wrote:Hope they get booked for an ROH show.

Well New Japan and NWA have a working relationship, so there's a reason for it.fm20000 wrote:Hope they get booked for an ROH show.

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

Re: The NJPW Thread
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?

Re: The NJPW Thread
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
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!
1: Wrestle Kingdom
2: Dominion
3: Invasion Attack
4: The New Beginning
5: Kizuna Road
6: New Japan Cup Finals
7: Dontaku

Re: The NJPW Thread
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.
Re: The NJPW Thread
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.

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.DieHard wrote:NJPW G1 Climax 2013 Day One Review:

Tanahashi vs. Ishii is my favorite match this year.
