~Everybody wants to be a cat~
~Because a cat's the only cat~
~Who knows where its at~

drat, that package looks awesome. Are they really blowing this story off with Suzuki going for the belt this fast? Are they going to go full on early BC and have the whole stable dogpile Okada so Suzuki can walk out Champion? It seems from the package that the angle they want to push is LIJ, Bullet Club and Chaos have no choice but to unite to stop Suzuki, but I could also easily see them as just doing this as a one-of and going back to business as usual.

I dunno, either way I'm eager to find out what happens.

I love the increased sassyness from NJPW since AJ/Cena happened. Okada makes one tweet about it and creates a shitstorm of angry smarks, it was hilarious and I approve.

(Also yeah go watch this match right now, it's the bees knees.)

It might just have been Nagata, but Oka looked like a million bucks in the opening match.

From the last page, but judging by both of the Nagata matches, I seriously believe Oka is going to be a top heel one day. At the very least, I'm excited as heck for the inevitable Oka/Okada match.

NJPW finally relaunched their Englishlangauge site and they have a translation of the Suzuki/Nogami interview from a few days ago (Suzuki showed up with vodka in hand if you didn't know). Good read

Is there any plan for NJPW World integration with Apple TV? I know I can chromecast it, but I'm much more likely to use an app/service if it's just on my TV rather than having to cast it from another device.

I think Sony has only sold something like 4 million PS4s in Japan, less than 10% of worldwide to date. Sadly I don't think the "console game fans" and "wrestling nerds" Venn diagrams overlap enough to make that happen, even only for the Japanese store.

there are like 12 njpw world subscribers so if they made a ps4 app and it got on 4 million dashboards that would probably be like quintuple the exposure theyre currently getting

I did have one at some point, the range was pants though. I would prob have to set up a second router for it to work upstairs, which is where I'm watching most of the time. Haven't a clue where to even start with that :/

Aye PS4's don't do well in JPN, I can dream though if they're gonna be expanding more this and next year... Maybe just give it a thought, guys, please? :P

if you've got ethernet wired up, the Chromecast Ultra has an ethernet port on it. it costs like twice as much which is annoying (as far as I can tell the only other difference is that it has 4k?) but it might be an option

The first generation version could be really spotty, but even the regular second gen (non-Ultra) should be much, much more reliable.

Huh, $2.2 million is WWE main eventer pay and would put him level with pretty much all the top guys there bar Cena and Lesnar if Forbes can be trusted. He'd be 6th in WWE for earnings between Rollins and The Big Dog.

Yeah, it makes sense why he's still firmly in New Japan with how much he's paid. I doubt WWE would go that far for him

It makes me wonder what Nakamura was making and how much he gets for being in NXT. I think I remember hearing NJPW gave Okada a massive pay rise but Nakamura must still be NXT's top earner by a decent amount.

Given how DSW went for him, he'd probably want certain creative assurances, ones WWE can't or won't give him.
