26.5 hours but it's immediately archived on New Japan World, so you can watch whenever and don't need to worry about staying up

This is probably a dumb question but is this true of the English Commentary broadcast as well? I'm going to sign up for NJPW world to watch tomorrow after work and I'd prefer to understand the commentary.

It is. The English commentary broadcast is archived in a separate video.

Regarding music edits do they initially just cut the audio for live events and dub in different music at a later point? I've seen messages about music being altered and new music dubbed in, but other times its just the audio deleted. Is there any hard and fast rule, like no redubbing for house shows, but big events will get them later on?

Depends. Likely they'll have it ready to dub over during the stream at a volume so you can hear the commentators. I think that happened at some point.

It's tradition to do it on January 4

Much like a lot of people don't remember Xmas and New Years being on Sundays, a lot of people don't remember January 4 being in the middle of a week

Next year it's on a Thursday, which is slightly better

It's usually the last or one of the last days off of the New Years holiday period. I've heard from coworkers that it's the first day since Dec 31 that husbands can get away from family ;)

NJPW tl;dr if there's an event on a weird day it's probably a Japanese holiday.

[Edit] forgot what I'd wanted to post, which is that Minoru Suzuki is sure tweeting like a man strapping on his boots at the Dome. Could be a surprise in the Rumble, or more.

I know everyone is down on Cody, but his intro video and the first 5 seconds of his theme are pretty badass. And despite the fact that he's wrestling a random match against Juice, he manages to feel like a more important BC member than the rest of the American B-team.

I was thinking he'd show up at New Year's Dash since in recent years they've finished up storylines at the Dome and waited until Korakuen the next day to really develop new ones. A Rumble appearance would own tho

Counterpoint: Sometimes wrestlers who aren't that great in terms of match quality do just fine as trainers. Larry Sharpe, Johnny Rodz, etc. Plus a lot of veterans have a younger, more technically sound guy walk you through the physical teaching part. He might have a deal with like, YOSHI-HASHI or KUSHIDA or something to come in when they can.

I live in the same city, He's opening it in New Zealand. My current job can be done in the evenings at the same time as training. It'll be great because NZ has got a tonne of Maori Boys who are all massive hosses with huge athletecism, even if they fat.

the first world was a mistake

I'm not gonna be able to watch live, but it's cool to see how much buzz there is for the show this year compared to the putrid loving gate they did a decade ago with about as stacked a card as they could've put on (IWGP title match and a Triple Crown title match, Kawada vs beta-Nakamura, and Mutoh/Chono tagging in the main event).

Being hospitalized for a week in November and having to go back multiple times a week since then isn't the most fun. :smith:
