i have spent literally all loving year thinking "i should give gleat another shot" after watching, like, some very early show

should i just watch GLEAT Ver. 1 from back in july? or the most recent G PROWRESTLING/LIDET UWF shows? might just watch the one from last week since it has english subs

The one from last week is the set up to this show with some big angles setting up the major matches so I'd do that.

Noah vs New Japan card announcements are absolutely batshit insane btw

Sho vs Kotoge (OK, could be fun)

https://twitter.com/noahglobal/status/1471769991926411271

Ishimori and Gedo vs Hayata and Yoshioka (nonsense jrs match, fine).

https://twitter.com/noahglobal/status/1471770513207095299

Desperado and Douki vs YO-HEY and Nosawa (what?)

https://twitter.com/noahglobal/status/1471770959611043845

Ishii, Goto, YOSHI-HASHI, Taguchi and Wato vs Harada, Ohara, Inaba, Inamura, and Kinya Okada (home army vs home army, okay with this)

https://twitter.com/noahglobal/status/1471771433030524931

ZSJ and Kanemaru vs Marufuji and Ogawa (this makes no sense at all and I am here for all of it)

https://twitter.com/noahglobal/status/1471771722676580359

Taichi, Suzuki, and TAKA vs Sugiura, Sakuraba, and KENTA (makes no sense, will be amazing)

https://twitter.com/noahglobal/status/1471772188214964226

LIJ vs Kongo (YESSSSS)

https://twitter.com/Hi5ame/status/1471770561529499650

Okada and Tanahashi vs Mutoh and Kiyomiya (somehow this will end with Mutoh pinning Kiyomiya)

https://twitter.com/Hi5ame/status/1471770569209257993

EVIL and Dick Togo vs Shiozaki and Kitamiya (I... what?)

https://twitter.com/Hi5ame/status/1471770577807499266

Fujita (not that one) vs Yano (not that one)

https://twitter.com/Hi5ame/status/1471773270131236868

This is barking mad. I am here for it.

EDIT: and Funky Express vs Nagata, Kojima, and Tenzan

batshit insane is like the last thing i'd call that card. it's 'solid'. couldve used one more match like the okada one where any one person taking the fall would be interesting. seems like most people are more negative on it than me which i kind of get when even the njpw president was like 'hey bookers lets not squander this opportunity'

Are Yano, Yujiro and YOH the only NJPW wrestlers not on the card and does this suggest someone in NOAH has an issue with the letter Y?

they should've done yano vs. yano and had him dress up in yl boots and trunks and work as one for 2/rds of the match. but to answer the question of new japan guys not involved beyond those who may not be in the country or are injured...

also not included:
GBH
united empire (o-khan at the very least should be available)
futo nakashima
ryohei oiwa
jado
el phantasmo (tho maybe he's heading out after 1.5)

It's been funny seeing the difference in reactions between Western and Japanese Twitters in that the biggest complaint in the west is the lack of singles but in Japan it's the lack of O-Khan.

They should kill two birds with one stone by adding O-Khan vs Jurina

it's interesting to me that o-khan seems like a bigger hit with the domestic fanbase when i'd hahave guessed that 'massive anime dork' would be a characteristic shared with a greater % of the western one. he owns and i personally blame meltzer for not getting it

*Cowboy Shit*
I'm personally jazzed for the Funkys v The DADS and Kongo v LIJ, and also that the Birdman isn't on the card so I don't have to witness him. KENOH will not be having any of Naito's poo poo and I want to see Hiromu be weird with Tadasuke. I know people (Western fans from what I can see,) are throwing their toys out over the EVIL match but I'm just hoping to see Shiozaki chop the poo poo out of Togo, and I actually like EVIL and Kitamiya so I hope we get some big beef boys even if it's just for a moment before BULLSHIT ensues.

It was funny seeing people angrily @ing NJPW on Twitter furiously demanding to know why O-Khan has a single match on WK, when it's like he's one of their most popular wrestlers and just won an award for being so good and wrestled Tanahashi at WK last year. There was no chance he wasn't getting a match.

wrt HOT/Go & Masa, my hope is that the reason Dick is in the match instead of Yujiro (other than him being liked in NOAH and supposedly being the guy who set it up), is that they won't do outside interference.

So... they're just going to make it the usual tag team interference?

Yujiro having a hand at the interpromotional show is news to me. I've heard accounts of being being generally well-liked backstage, despite being Yujiro. Hmm.

He means Togo. He worked at NOAH before the pandemic and apparently had a role healing some sore spots leftover from 2015/16.

The persistent story I always heard was that Yujiro has pretty good English so acted as a gaijin liaison. Which would likely make him relatively well liked.

It sounds like they might be airing the whole show? The start time is listed as 11:30am and that'll definitely not be when the main event goes on.

Of course, I'm tempted to grumble that "of course the Zero1 show they air is one of the 3 Zero1 shows per year that actually makes tape anyway" but hell, live is better than late.
