Yeah, the matches are always decent but NJPW obviously doesn't care about tag teams. I hate how slapped together so many teams feel even though the guys in the teams make it work.

Cobb's in this weird state where he's pudgy and it looks bad. He either needs to drop 20 and HTFU or he needs to gain 50 and go full hoss.

I wish they'd throw more teams together at other times of the year so we'd get less endless rematches.

I'm absolutely astounded that Evil and Sanada have never challenged or won the regular tag titles at all.

The 24th matches are up. Check out Best Friends vs. War Machine if you want to see Chuck finally connect with the crowds (at least this one).

It's the tag league. The wrestling is fine and it's not nearly as arduous of a task to watch as many claim but it's hardly must see either. Watch the Korakuen shows with full production and hot crowds (first was the opener, next is 11/30) and any matchups that appeal to you. Top two matches from 11/24 are a good introduction to the debuting gaijin B block teams that didn't have league matches on the opener.

the crowd seemed pretty into chuck in their second match

it's not an easy gimmick to get into off the bat, to be fair

I know, it just makes it look like local free Indy group that’s on FITE. I just wish they could come up with a modified setup for the smaller events or at least have tourney matches vs house show having a different setup.

The show from tonight was filmed by Samurai TV and had multiple cameras and commentary. I'm not sure if they'll put that or just hardcam footage on NJPW World but the whole show is on the Real Hero Archive.

The best way to watch round robin tournaments imo is to pick a team from each block you really like and watch their matches. like I'm all about Death Juice and KES this one so I'm gonna follow their matches.

Check out the Samurai TV feed posted on the RH drive with full camera production, good show today aided by full production. Tomorrow's an off day before the A block resumes on Tuesday.

Are there any differences between the Wall of Jericho and the Boston Crab? I learned recently that the Crab is considered a basic move, learned by all the Young Lions, and was wondering if Jericho would need to use the Liontamer instead.

The Walls was more elevated and places greater pressure on the neck.

Half the WWE roster are giant pissbabies and don't like this so Jericho normally just does the Boston Crab and they call it the walls.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

That's the Liontamer.

the Liontamer is higher angle and the knee into the back, Walls was higher Boston Crab but is now essentially just the Boston Crab.

and the NJPW commentators are just gonna mark out and yell it out in Japanese and won't point out how the Young Lions also use the move because professional wrestling is all about suspending belief.
