so it's looking like for Fantasticamania and New Beginning we have: IWGP Heavy: Okada vs. Misu IC: Naito vs. Elgin Jr: Hiromu vs. Dragon Lee NEVER: Goto vs. Juice Tag: CHAOS vs. KES, maybe GBH thrown in there for another threeway? Jr Tag- maybe RPG Vice vs. 2/3ds of SZKG jrs?

I think the 10,000 was from yesterday alone, with ~5,500 coming from the US alone if I heard the commentary correctly. Clearly NJPW identified the international subscription issue being Matt Striker.

Can someone tweet @ Meltz of Omega using all the moves of his friends/enemies? It never even came up that Omega used AJ's Hollowpoint, nor his one man More Bang for Your Buck. They noticed the triangle moonsault and the double stomp but didn't make the connections.

I thought that Okada vs Omega was the best match I've ever seen and I'm glad that the Meltzer agrees with me. 6 stars, jeez

Holy poo poo I need that jacket. https://www.piledriver.jp (or the piledriver store in harajuku) is where you gotta go for suzuki-gun merch. Never imported stuff like that myself but I've heard on twitter that https://www.whiterabbitexpress.com is a pretty good middleman service for shipping. Edit: You're looking at $280 prior to shipping. Thauros fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Jan 5, 2017 |

Kenny did the tribute deal more in the G1 finals when he used Bloody Sunday, the Gun Stun, the Styles Clash, the seated Last Ride, the Phoenix Splash, and even the loving Ruse Awakening. Last night was more just a few references and the package Tombstone wasn't the hollow point. The rolling fireman's carry to moonsault also predates his time with the Elite.

I just watched the main and shiiiiiiiiiiit that was great Omega-Naito last year never really connected for me the way it did for everyone else, but my god paired with Okada, Omega looks like the best wrestler ever. Dude's facials are so good. He's more expressive than AJ or Finn, and that makes him for me. Like Dean Ambrose with a physique.

Yeah, he has some great face acting that was just that extra little special sauce selling the damage he was taking, the toll the headbumps were taking on him, etc. So many wrestlers now just kind of let moves happen to them and get pinned or not pinned, bump or reverse or whatever with no emotion and it takes a way a little suspension of disbelief. I remember during a Ken Kennedy match in WWE, I think Batista had him up for a Batista bomb and while he was up, for just a split second, he started punching angrily at Batista's head trying to get out of the move but ultimately ate it. Really made it look like a fight. I love that stuff.

Really made it look like a fight. I love that stuff. The other workers hated Kennedy for this stuff. On the one hand it looks like he's fighting for everything he's got, but on the other hand his movements during moves threw off the guys he was working with and caused them to get hurt or feel uncomfortable. It's one of the reasons he got a bad rep with the other wrestlers even before the Orton spot.
