Don't buy an LIJ shirt from PWTees if you want the rad print on the back. gently caress them for making me have to find a Japanese source to get a real Destino shirt.

Having missed this the first time and thinking it'd end up free at some point in a legitimate way. My inner cynic left the match about the time that they did the double finisher counter into Omega spitting on Okada, and then it just kept building on it.

‘Thanks to the guys back in the studio. (Laughter). Thank you. I am the player manager of Taguchi Japan, Ryusuke Taguchi. (Applause). Well, today, at the end of the day, the boys done marvellous (laughter). I really thought there, maybe we didn't quite hit 69% on the pitch tonight, but at the end, the ball rolled into the area, and we burst the onion bag with the eagerness of a puppy (laughter). The boys in Taguchi Japan don't give up. We always get back in there. We get knocked down six times, we get up again nine times. “Down for 6, up for 9.” That's our motto. Elgin, Dragon Lee, (when you're in front of goal) tranquilo, tranquilo. We’re about 69% of where we want to be so there's work to be done. Dragon Lee, Elgin, ganbatte (do your best). You understand? Ganbatte. (Dragon Lee shrugs, uncomprehending) Isn't it? Marvellous. OK! Communication is key. (Laughter).
Yes? Yes! Yes? (Taguchi toys with an imaginary earpiece) Yes. Well, the fans were the 12th man on the pitch tonight, and with their support we will win again. There's not 12 of us? There's not 12 of us. Shall we finish? (Applause). OK! (Sotto voce to Elgin and Lee) we say “we are Taguchi Japan”, OK?
Dragon Lee, Michael Elgin, Nakanishi, Tanahashi and Taguchi. We! Are! Taguchi Japan!’
The five pose to applause to end the show.

that reminds me, I have a friend who's going to Japan in April, and I asked them to buy me an LIJ t-shirt from the New Japan shop b/c gently caress paying the shipping costs. I fit a UK medium, but is a Japanese medium anywhere close to that, or should I get a size up or down or whatever?

I'm a UK medium but large tends to fit me better in Japan.

Go at least one size up. If you're not super broad-shouldered for your size, or a "tall" medium, then you should be fine with an L.

For example, the sizing information on the NJPW Shop page for this LIJ shirt says that the 'width' is 50 cm, and 'length' is 68 cm. I believe that means "shirt lying flat on a surface" as opposed to circumference sizing.

He's one of the most fun preformers on indie shows in Austin because he just lives his wreckless, rear end in a top hat character so well. Hope they didn't have to cut into the champ stamp and that he doesn't have to be away too long.

It's not that kind of test.
I'm excited for the New Japan Cup this year - there are a lot of directions they could go in and most of them would be interesting. I'd kind of like to see a heel vs. heel faction war between LIJ and Bullet Club when the latter returns, since CHAOS still seems occupied with Suzukigun and LIJ have a bunch of belts. Maybe hold off on the obligatory Omega vs. Okada rematch for a big show in a few months and have a less obvious NJC winner in the meantime.

Yeah, an intro on general things, links to further "how to get around Japan/Tokyo," and then more about wrestling in particular.

They are announcing stuff nowish. There will be a Togi Makabe 20th Anniversary show on the 21st with GBH vs. Ishii/Yano and Tiger Mask W & Tiger Mask 4 vs. Okada and Gedo, New Japan anniversary show will have Tiger Mask W vs. Okada. Honor Rising on the 27th will have Goto vs Punisher Martinez for the NEVER title and Yoshi-Hashi vs. Adam Cole for the ROH Title. Honor Rising on the 26th will have Young Bucks vs. War Machine.

Actually the Tiger Mask W tag match might be on one of the New Japan Anniversary shows not the Makabe one.

The New Japan Anniversary shows haven't been fully announced yet except for the Okada vs. Tiger Mask W matches. Those Honor Rising matches sound awful. I smell an angle with day 2's main event.

We also have a card for the Korakuen leading up to the Anniversary show which will be headlined by Okada and Gedo vs. the two Tiger Masks. Like the Anniversary show nothing else has been announced tho.

I still hope Kenny wins the belt against someone other than Okada. Maybe if The Elite split and turn face, and Suzuki or some other top heel wins the title, they can do Omega/whoever at Dominion and Okada can win the title back after the G1.

tiger mask w getting the belt and kenny challenging him for it seems inevitable for sometime this year, what with w getting a non-title shot and being in the new japan cup and kenny essentially saying he was returning to new japan to work an angle with ibushi

It's going to be amusing if Kota Ibushi couldn't win the NJPW Title but Kota Ibushi as Tiger Mask W can.
