They added a second part to that Kenny Omega on the road video, it's all ringside footage of the match and is awesome

Really fantastic. Between this and the Tama Tonga videos this is fast becoming one of my favorite things in wrestling.

If you look closely, you can see guys with shotgun mics all around the ring.

Just watched Okada vs. Omega with my 5 year old daughters. They were jumping out of their seats for every two count, and they've learned enough at this point to know that a table once produced must be broken.

Do NJPW shirts in kid sizes exist? They have their birthday coming up so I wouldn't mind paying Japanese shipping to get them some Okada or Naito swag.

He's been DBS Jr as part of KES and in NOAH, so yeah, that. KES have been that kind of hard-hitting tag team forever, I'll have to watch this on demand later.

And you know Suzuki is back when he's punting young boys :swoon:

Not sure how it started, but abusing that Nagata-loving announcer has been part of his shtick for as long as I've been watching.

Here's one of his more elaborate paint jobs:

Well maybe if he wasn't a lame one-trick pony who completely sucks in the ring and makes up for his flaws by attacking the same person over and over and over and over again, someone would actually love him :colbert: .

better since he at least still has his amazing theme while NJPW World no longer has the rights to Taichi's after having it during the SJC and that was his only redeeming quality.

It is a shame he's so one-note because the first time I saw him I really dug the gimmick and his execution of it, but then he just repeats himself over and over again.

I did laugh a lot the time he spray painted a bra on the announcer and made a point of painting one of the straps hanging down though.
