So I recently caught the Hiromu Jr. Title matches against Dragon Lee and Ricochet thanks to AXS's on demand offerings and I am hooked on Hiromu. What are some must see matches from him? Of course I plan to watch the Dragon Lee series, but other than that?

More recently NEW has done several shows with more than 3,000. ROH did 3,500 this year and there have been a few indies that have done 3-4,000. I believe the paid for the Hogan show was <1,500.

Watch that series, then jump to WK11 and watch all his singles matches since then; they're all really good.

Especially the KUSHIDA ones at Wrestle Kingdom and Dominion

He also had a fun match with Mike Elgin in PWG back when he was still Kamataichi. I think the show was Prince?

"In Tokyo Sports Takaaki Kidani said the #njusa shows were a huge success and he'd like to try a "touring style not later than March/April". He added that the LA office will be opened within this year and the LA dojo will be opened at the beginning of 2018."

I know that Daryl isn't Takahashi's first friend/prop but does he usually take it this far? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RHAyTcXuq4

We used to hate Okada and Naito too. Jedo/Gedo are bookers of the century.

oatgan posted:He used to film himself bathing with the jr heavyweight title and the Daryl thing is an extension of him getting frustrated and doing interviews as a cat (meowing on all fours) when he lost matches in BOSJ Ahahahaha where can I see these? Actually, is there a good source for NJPW vignettes/interviews/etc.? I am fortunate enough to be able to watch NJPW on AXS but sometimes commentary mentions things that wrestlers have said or done and the AXS show strictly focuses on the in-ring events and post-match interviews. So much of wrestling is character work, to me at least, and I want a better handle on who I'm seeing. I love Okada's matches (SHOCKING, right?) but I have no handle on his character except that his pose makes the camera run away, and money falls from the sky when he enters. I love Naito and LIJ in general but I only see their in-ring antics and I'd love to see more. Time bomb taking a bath with his title sounds amazing. I also love the contrast there, that Naito and Takahashi are bros but Naito treats his belts like garbage and Takashi treats his like he's in love with it. dromal phrenia fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Jul 6, 2017 |
