New Japan has their first show in the US in front of a crowd since covid and the first show anywhere without crowd cheering restrictions since February 2020. It's a pretty loaded card headlined by a Tanahashi title challenge at a reasonable time for americans so if you're one of those people who are bothered by clap crowds I'd recommend taking the time to check it out. It'll be streamed on NJPW World live like any other normal show with japanese commentary. if you're a stickler for english language commentary i believe you have to buy the fite.tv ppv for $19.99 RESURGENCE August 14th at 23:00 EDT/August 15th at 4:00 BST/12:00 JST The Torch at LA Coliseum Dark Match(10:30 PM EDT Start Time): *Adrian Quest, Kevin Knight, and The DKC vs. Barrett Brown, BATEMAN and Misterioso Alex Coughlin Open Challenge Series:Alex Coughlin vs. Karl Fredericks Wheeler Yuta, Fred Rosser, and Rocky Romero vs. Ren Narita, Clark Connors, and TJP Juice Robinson vs. Hikuleo Tomohiro Ishii vs. Moose Special Tag Match:Jon Moxley and X vs. Good Brothers NEVER Openweight Championship:Jay White(c) vs. David Finlay IWGP US Heavyweight Championship:Lance Archer(c) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi *I'm assuming this is a true dark match and won't be streamed if you're wondering about brody king's absence: quote:

Yeah, the English feed will be on World at some point, but I assume they've given Fite some kind of timed exclusivity.

I strongly believe this will be in the top 2 of wrestling shows starting with an R this weekend.

Yeah, I really enjoy the English commentary but I'll be more than happy to listen to the Japanese commentators losing their goddamn minds as part of New Japan World.

I thought about paying for Fite just cause I think Kevin Kelly and co. with a hot crowd will be really awesome, but eh, 19.99's a little steep when I can just watch the Japanese commentary on World.

drat, this starts half an hour after the Princess Cup finals. Hope the undercard runs pretty long so I can at least watch Archer/Tana in full after TJPW finishes

# ? Aug 15, 2021 03:07 |

I had just assumed it being a US show it would start at like 8 EST and I could watch TJPW straight after, but nope on at the same time

So this morning i've got New Japan, All Japan and Toyko Joshi all having live shows at the same time, then only a couple of hours before a NOAH/DDT double shot (although there's only 2 and a half hours between them so they'll probably be some overlap as well). Theres too much good wrestling I want to watch dammit Don't follow AEW so don't know how much of a push Archer has there, but hope he manages to retain the belt here if only to increase my hope he'll come over for the G1 next month

I still think it's way more likely Tana wins and then drops the US title to Mox at the AEW pay per view.

C'mon New Japan! Don't make me regret not watching AAA or TJPW!

Just checked in between matches, and that's some weird lighting choices for Fredricks/Coughlin. It's a neon wonderland

The crowd reacting to poo poo is already a vast improvement on Strong's usual dynamic.

https://twitter.com/toshanshuinLA/status/1426743257086709770?s=20 yeeah apparently fite is poo poo. issue with the world stream is that piped in commentary from outside the arena is drowning out the crowd
