Thread title updated to reflect the Long Beach Shows - please tell me if the info is incorrect, I don't want anybody to miss these shows.

It's crazy to me because the Long Beach show is a five minute walk from my work and a 15 minute walk from my apt. I'm super pumped for this weekend.

As somebody who tried looking for G1 tickets last week: nah, you probably aren't. :smith:

2nd floor of sumo hall had seats when I asked my Japanese friend to buy tickets on Monday. I can double check tomorrow but he said his dad was able to get one in the 7500 yen section.

edit: I will also say that the past two years running Fri/Sat/Sun only the Sunday show has sold out.

I did too, but I was extremely not happy about Hiromu losing so that probably played a part.

I wonder if the company selling it now why that specific cat toy has probably just received a sudden bump in sales.


I would honestly rather listen to Kelly and Callis. JR was really bad for the Bate/Dunne match.

I have no interest in JR and cannot stand Josh Barnett. I'd rather listen to it in Japanese.

After BoSJ I am a believer. It would also explain why after a six month build to have Elgin win the AAW title from Sami Callihan, they had Sami retain on a lovely roll-up, if Elgin is going to be in Japan more often than not for a while.

The thing that puts Kushida/Hiromu over Tana/Naito for me was Hiromu’s “MY loving ARM” selling immediately after he tapped to the Hoverboard Lock. He reacts like every muscle in his forearm popped off the bone when Kushida pulled his wrist back.

Also reminder that if you are looking to sign up for NJPW World you should do it Saturday or else they'll probably charge you twice between now and then.

I loving hate how NJPW world now puts up post match interview clips above the events. It totally spoils the outcome when you see the one wrestler celebrating with the belt while the next vid picture (right above the actual event!) shows the other being held up by two other guys. Spoilers!! WTF, Japan.

It reminds me of the time they changed the banner on the site to advertise the G1 Finals... when I had just logged in to watch the last day of the tournament. :saddowns:

Guess I'll stick to torrents.

No. I've been subscribed and paying for years now. It's silly that I have to torrent to avoid spoilers on stuff I pay for.

Can't you just bookmark the events page and go straight to that? I don't think that has any promo clips.

Also what's the best way to trick NJPW World into thinking I live in Panama so I can watch Saturday's show? (Saturday's the one that's geo locked right?)

It's not a spoiler if the thing has aired. Complaining that they put up a banner to promote an event happening that day is nuts.

First run sold out quickly. People who didn't get tickets moaned. NJPW sold a 2nd round of tickets. People who didn't get tickets moaned.

Edit: Looking forward to Saturday, I got tickets for that day.

It's in the 10,000-seat Arena, right?

So this will be the biggest non-WWE event attendance-wise in the US since WCW closed?

Hmm, good call. Just click on an event from the schedule page. Takes you right to the event video. Perfect. I was going through the "series" option from the front of the page. Thanks.
