So I've just been informed that as part of the stag party I'll be attending in July, the gang has been signed up for an afternoon of wrestling training with Lance Storm. Am I going to die? Apparently we'll be taught how to run the ropes, take back bumps and if there's time, worked punches. Also, yes, I am posting this mostly to brag.

We call Kevin Nash the smartest man in wrestling, but couldn't the case also be made for Brock, who can get the WWE to pay him obscene amount of money for less and less ring time? And make him champion? And have someone else do all his talking for him?

After WWE finally pushed me over the edge, I'm just about ready to really get into NJPW. I'll be picking up their thing at the start of June and I want a crash course in good poo poo in their backlog to watch. I've already seen the two Okada/Omegas, as well as their last few major shows. Basically just give me some good matches to binge the hell out of in a few weeks.

There's a third Okada/Omega! Watch the last few G1 finals, especially the Omega/Naito matches (it was on the second to last night two years ago) and well... there's a lot.

I'll be picking up their thing at the start of June and I want a crash course in good poo poo in their backlog to watch. I've already seen the two Okada/Omegas, as well as their last few major shows. My list will be Omega heavy as I'm a massive fan of Kenny, in part because I remember when he was just a comedy midcarder for Don "Cyrus/The Jackal" Callis' promotion that ran Winnipeg (where Kenny is from) and Thunder Bay (where I live). Watching him go from that, to weirdo otaku megaface in DDT, to wildly over the top arrogant heel in NJPW has been a delight. I left out Omega vs Okada because you already saw 2 of the matches. I urge you to check out the third though, in part because a fourth match is scheduled soon and Okada defends his IWGP championship against Omega in a 2/3 falls No Time Limit match. If Okada wins, he will have the greatest title reign ever in terms of both days AND successful defences (hell, throw match quality in there, too). If Omega wins, he proves himself right: he carries this company, he's the best bout machine. Well, and of course he becomes IWGP champion, a belt he's never held. Watch: Shibata vs Goto (Dominion '13) Okada vs Nakamura (G1 25) Omega vs Naito I (g1 26 Semi-finals, possibly my favorite Kenny match that he's had without Okada in it) Omega vs Naito II (g1 27 Finals , here's a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyyL-Ti7rlc ) Omega vs Ishii (G1 USA Special, IWGP US Championship torunament finals) Tanahashi vs Okada (pick one, they're all loving great, seriously) Okada vs Naito (Wrestle Kingdom 12, IWGP Championship match) AJ Styles vs Okada (Again, either matches) Kenny Omega vs Chris Jericho, for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship (Wrestle Kingdom 12) There's other great stuff but I'll let others handle that. Enjoy. edit: If they ever let him post on Youtube again, find a guy named Showbuckle's videos on NJPW. He offers context to matches and angles and even NJPW employees (like Kenny Omega and Kevin Kelly) like the videos El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 21:10 on May 15, 2018 |

I don't like the angle of two wrestlers fighting to figure out something about their 'real' match, champions in particular. How do you feel, about it? I'll be glad if you feel differently

I should clarify, i mean their 'real' match, that will come at a later date. meaning they are wrestling to set up wrestling. As a single, as a champion, it doesnt seem roight.

More suggestions: Hiromu Takahashi's title run (Starts at WK11, goes to Dominion). Evil vs Okada in the G1, Kenny vs Juice Robinson (also in the G1). Older matches worth checking out include some of Apollo 55's tag team matches, and also the ones against each other after Prince Devitt splits to found Bullet Club.

Oh I'm well aware. My initial plan was to hop on just in time for this years G1 and go full baptism by fire, but Okada challenging Omega this latest time has pushed things up a bit. Also goddamn that's a lot of matches people are suggesting. Guess it's a good thing I beat GoW already

Unlike most other federations WWE likes to set up championship challenges with the champion losing. I guess it raises the question of if the champ will pull it out when it matters, but it also raises the question of why the champ gets to compete and nontitle matches against skilled opponents.

Ben Fowlkes and Chad Dundas of the Co-Main Event podcast are both super cool dudes. I'm not sure if they break news or anything like that, but all the stuff they write is great and the podcast is fun and informative. Also Ben beat out Ariel as president of some new fangled MMA journalist's organization so he has as much credibility as you could ask for in a cage fighting journalist E. I just realized you said "most well known" and not "best" but I'm gonna pretend you didn't
