KISS ME KRIS

he's a tiny wrestle guy that hits like a truck full of gently caress. He's everything that we and Michael Elgin wishes he was.

He is what you'd get if you blended every puro trope together. He's a tiny dude who lifts like an ant, hits dudes really loving hard, then as a finish, drops them on their loving heads.

He's somehow around 5'5 and hit a stalling suplex on Lance Archer, who's legit just short of 7 foot.

Nothing a "Hair vs Hair" match against Tanahashi couldn't solve.

I just checked and my cable system (Time Warner) isn't carrying WK9 live in favor of a UFC replay, but they are showing the 7-11pm showing Sunday night. $44.99 for HD. Now I just have to hope my PPV ordering doesn't gently caress up like it has the past few times considering I'm planning to watch UFC the night before plus WK9.

I'm gonna be watching on NJPW World. I'm hoping with the music licensing that we no longer have muted themes.

How the gently caress is this Flipps app supposed to work? I don't have a TV with a wifi connection and can't seem to load the app on my PC, and I sure as hell don't want to watch it on my phone. Looks like I'll just have to stick with the Japanese commentary, I really wanted to hear JR call it too :smith:

They'll seemingly never have Liger's theme. It's better but there will still be matches with a couple muted.

Wonder if the U.S. GFW PPV will have mutes at all...Hmm.

Tomonori Oka passed NJPW Tryout in 2013. He is 185cm tall and 120kg. He is the master of Karate, Judo, wrestling, Jujutsu, Sambo and all martial arts. He is National Amateur wrestling Champion for free style over 120kg class in 2014. [...] He took NJPW Tryout in 2013, and he passed it. But now he is now NJPW roster but in Bushiroad Club which is amateur wrestling club by Bushiroad. [...] He aims to get Gold Medal at Tokyo Olympics in 2020. So he does not live in NJPW dormitory. He now works for Bushiraod and train for Olympics.
[...]
But New Year Today, Oka tweeted "I really wanna be the strongest prowrestler really soon". Wow. He really wanna be professional soon. But I found his tweet that he wants to be prowrestler because cute voice actresses love prowrestling these days. Oka is really so called "Otaku". He loves Anime, Manga and voice actress. [...] He is known as "Strongest Anime lover in the world".

Can't make out what anime his shirt is based on, but the towel is from Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai, an anime focused on joshi wrestling. Needless to say the focus is mostly on boobs and screaming, rather than wrestling moves.

With the ballot for 2014 awards going up, I thought I'd post my New Japan top 10 for the year. I didn't get a chance to go back and re-watch as many matches as I wanted, and this is in no way intended to be comprehensive, just my favorites from what I've seen.

1.) Minoru Suzuki vs. AJ Styles (8/1/14, G-1 Climax Day 7, Korakuen Hall)
2.) Tomoaki Honma vs. Katsuyori Shibata (8/3/14, G-1 Climax Day 8, Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium)
3.) Kota Ibushi vs. Kazuchika Okada (3/6/14, New Japan 42nd Anniversary, Ota Ward Gymnasium)
4.) Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kazuchika Okada (8/10/14, G-1 Climax Finals, Seibu Dome)
5.) Tomohiro Ishii vs. Tetsuya Naito (2/11/14, New Beginning in Osaka, Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium)
6.) Kota Ibushi vs. Ricochet (6/21/14, Dominion, Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium)
7.) Tomohiro Ishii vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (8/1/14, G-1 Climax Day 7, Korakuen Hall)
8.) Kota Ibushi vs. Tomohiro Ishii (5/25/14, Return to Yokohama Arena, Yokohama Arena)
9.) Alex Shelley/KUSHIDA vs. Matt & Nick Jackson (6/21/14, Dominion, Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium)
10.) Katsuyori Shibata vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi (7/26/14, G-1 Climax Day 4, Akita Prefectural Gymnasium)

Honorable mentions -
