I watched the Kawada vs Hashimoto match, and although it was not great, I really like the camera shot where the ring looks like a diamond and I wish I could see it come up during American matches. Reminds me of Fire Pro :v:

I was watching the Lesnar/Akebono DREAM MATCH on youtube, and bah gawd do I understand why it tanked. Both of the guys display no signs of tension, drama, or energy. Lesnar keeps doing loving sleeper holds when he should be pummeling the gently caress out of Akebono. Akebono should be wearing something that hides both of his manboobs. Both of the guys are way too soft on each other during at least half the match.

I wasn't around when Lesnar was the big thing in the WWE, but here he just seemed totally misused. Shame.

I don't know about you guys, but I love that camera angle that NOAH likes to use so much: The one where the camera is basically over one of the ring post, making the ring look more like a diamond than a square. I feel like it adds a whole new level of depth to the squared circle that you don't really get with just a side camera.

As an example, see the KENTA/Danielson ROH match posted earlier that had been given the NOAH treatment. That one overhead angle that's never used in any ROH video that I've seen in the past not only looks really loving nice, but it also gives a good overview of where the wrestlers are situated in the ring. Why don't we see it more often in American wrestling? Does NOAH have a patent on that diamond angle shot?

Furthermore, I'm slowly digging KENTA more and more, mainly thanks to the little Sonic the Hedgehog finger waving that he does when he's in a submission hold.

Ditch, am I looking at this wrong, or did I just download two hours' worth of wrestlers singing Christmas carols in Japanese, and doing skits that I assume to be funny because I don't get the language?

Because as awesome as that may be, it's still over 200 megs of wrestlers singing and doing skits in Japanese :smith:

In Japan when a wrestler is blindsided do the announcers refer to it as a pearl harbour?
Do they say that here?

Christ on a loving pony

Yesterday, fellow goon Breadnought and I went to see the NJPW ROAD TO DESTRUCTION show in Niihama. We got to see Alex Shelley, Low Ki, Rocky Romero, Lance Hoyt and DH Smith. Also Nagata got beat up and thrown into our chairs. It was pretty loving awesome!

What kind of wrestler is Tanahashi? I saw him wrestle last week and he seemed like a pretty bland face. Does he have any standout feuds? Special highlight reels? Anything of note other than the air guitar and the fact that he got stabbed by an ex girlfriend 10 years ago?
