I posted about this elsewhere, but was there live and I agree with that, even if the internet is already making GBS threads itself over it. I value the different vibe Cody brought more than most I guess.

I don't think I've ever bit so hard on a rope break tease. I was certain that Ishii would struggle but just get too tangled to escape.

I mean the poor guy has had a pretty loving bad few months.

Then again, it makes me wonder if that whole thing where he claimed he wasn't drinking and got fired because he was tired and had a BP flareup was just really sad

edit: it WAS an absolutely horrible announcing job though. Or, I don't know, maybe sad rather than out and out bad work.

I watched the shows back in english specifically to see what a disaster it was and I really didn't think it was that bad? He missed some calls and got confused on a few guys, and yes those are errors that shouldn't happen. I actually thought on Night 2 his passion during the Kenny/Ishii match was better than it has been in a while. Like he kind of got his fastball back a bit for that match.

Still want Cyrus calling all Kenny matches, and I generally prefer Kevin Kelly for this product as the PBP guy.

I haven't had time to sit down and watch night 2 yet but I probably will tonight.

What struck me the most as someone who grew up listening to Jim announce NWA--->WCW and then WWF was just how off the mark he was. Calling people wrong names or whatever doesn't bother me, because what the hell, everyone fucks up. What got me was that he just sounded like he was phoning it in and absolutely didn't give a poo poo. I have no idea if that's true, but I imagine that age, BP and probably drinking too much didn't help.

I DO really appreciate that he still calls it like a sports event though, so really I'm just nitpicking.

edit: okay so I -finally- subscribed to NJPW world to see the long beach stuff, and have been going back and catching up on things. what are some can't miss things, no matter the time period? I like old stuff, I like new stuff. I've seen WK10 and 11, and this year's dominion because of the kenny omega/okada hype and loved those, but I'm really just kind of lost with choice.

Doesn't Jim Ross get all annoyed when people kick out of superplexes and DDTs? Maybe he had trouble calling the match when his eyes were constantly rolling to the back of his head.

there's a spreadsheet in the OP with a lot of direct links to good matches with really good poo poo highlighted.

Back in the day, the super j cup was recommended as the first show to watch if you're new to puro. If that is still on njpw world, I recommend watching that.

Barnett was burying poo poo all weekend too. I think the bucks just gave an interview saying they don't like his commentary because he clearly doesn't like certain styles of wrestling so he'll just sit there and bury it rather than try and put it over.

94 and 95 are both really good. 95 was hosted by WAR so I don't know if that would be on njpw world.

Would you be my new best friends?

I thought JR was solid in the back half of each show, where he seemed to struggle was in the multi-man events, especially the really fast-paced stuff. Those certainly weren't helped by him not having everybody's name down/needing a cheat sheet.


I love these two so much :allears:
