Is chaos a face faction, or at least a little more so than lij and bullet club? It kinda seemed that way outside of the team they had in the tag title match. Sorry, wk was the first njpw show I've seen in full I'm just trying to get my bearings right going forward.

Charles Gnarwin posted:Chaos are the main face faction in NJPW, though some members can have edge depending on who they feud with (e.g. Will Ospreay and his potty mouth trying to dethrone KUSHIDA). The tag team match featured Toru Yano who is a beloved scamp for his cheating rather than being booed. Sort of like late era Eddie Guerrero. Gotcha that makes sense. Yeah the only ones that didn't take much explaining for a complete newcomer that they were faces were tanahashi and kushida.

one winged angel is supposed to be instakill, yeah. which is good because otherwise its such a convoluted setup it'd be absurd to not be a super move. I was lucky and kept myself from spoilers for Omega okada, tanahashi naito, and Takahashi kushida. my sweet sweet perfect boy ticking time bomb was unjustly robbed by the thug kushida. I totally thought okada was gonna beat the time limit on that last rainmaker too.

the bucks definitely did the terminator thing at okada/omega I to cheer kenny on. and his pre-match video thing was basically a re-shoot of the opening scene of terminator. i guess big match kenny is the terminator? i dunno, but his look for the okada matches is cool as hell, so sure run with it.

VJeff posted:So I've heard Inoki and Inoki-ism mentioned a few times, wasn't Inoki like, this incredible figure in Japanese wrestling? Why are there negative connotations with him? from what I understand (no expert over here) inoki, later in his management career wanted njpw stars to be accepted as real fighters so he had them trained in mma and made them wrestle that style and compete in shoot fights. the wrestlers obviously lost these fights en masse and the company became kind of a joke for trying to compete in "real sports". that's why nagata is a big star with a tainted reputation, yeah he's a great wrestler, but he was in this point when inoki was trying to create puro wrestlers who could fight martial arts expert but couldn't, so he looked like a drat fool earlier in his career.

is it hosed up that i don't mind cody just going by cody anymore? i thought it was very dumb, but now i'm alright with it. maybe because he's portraying something so radically different from some of his wwe gimmicks or something but i'm alright with just cody now.
