IceAgeComing posted:I think there's symbolic value to it being a New Japan (co-promoted admittedly) show in MSG; that automatically by itself put it on a lot of people's lists and the New Japan side of it being good meant that it didn't fall - sure the ROH section of that show wasn't good but that really didn't matter. That was also used as a justification for why a lot of people supported Mayu Iwatani as women's wrestler of the year in the Tokyo Sports awards even though her match with Kelly Klein wasn't very good: the value there wasn't in the match but was in a Japanese woman signed with a major Joshi promotion working a major title match in Madison Square Garden followed by working the Tokyo Dome in the same year. You know it's not Western smarks because Lulu Pencil doesn't appear at all.

Schneider Heim posted:Is Wrestle Princess accessible to someone who hasn't seen a lick of TJPW? TJPW is mostly character based rather than storyline orientated. So you should be alright. The only match that really relies on previous knowledge and Japanese is Hyper Misao vs. Saki Aki but most of it is covered in this legendary video that convinced me that TJPW was worth watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0FY2UHIhWc the live translation thread should be useful as well https://twitter.com/ddtpro_eng/status/1325366366203867136 edit: There's an alright preview video from the same guy above, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s9DkB2GhVE fez_machine fucked around with this message at 11:47 on Nov 8, 2020 |

Shaman Tank Spec posted:I guess Dominion 6.9 is definitely a show I should check out since apparently that features a "7 star" match from Kenny Omega, but what other shows should I absolutely check out from the past 5 years or so? Doesn't have to be NJPW only, either. The entire Omega/Okada series is worth watching because the 7 star match builds on what came before it. You can find Omega vs. Okada 1 https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x59kcwf I also stole a list of every relevant match from reddit, if you want to find things on the net or on NJPW world: quote:G1 Climax 2016 Final - Kenny Omega vs Hirooki Goto

It feels weird how little coverage Cyberfight Festival is getting in Western media, it's easily the largest show of the next few months and likely to be in the running for the biggest show of the year.

sticklefifer posted:I've been liking what I've seen from Michiko Miyagi in the last few GLEAT shows, but her opponents are usually the exaggerated cartoonish joshi style that I'm not really into, while Miyagi seems a lot more tough and serious. Is her home promotion more like her style, or more like her opponents? If you're referring to Sendai Girls, it's a mix of both (no Joshi promotion can survive on being fully tough and serious) but tends towards seriousness as far as I can remember. They often link up with Chigusa's Marvelous promotion which should be a indicator of where they lie on the post-Ice Ribbon scale.

I wanted to like NOAH but it feels soo loving old compared to basically every other competitor. DDT is filled with older guys and it manages to feel fresh and vibrant rather than stagnant like NOAH can get.

So far so Sakuraist with Yukari retaining references to pom poms and a slight nod to sumo stance

Yukari retains the Emi vocalisation and is eating poo poo so far so Sakuraism but the match is hitting hard

NJPW keeping the sublime master thief away from the card because he might remind people of the other major promotion under the CyberFight banner That's right TJPW
