It's pretty cool that NJPW World are airing the NOAH/Suzuki show, if they added big NOAH shows to the network live/day later

No clue how licensing is done for shows in Japan but if they got control of old NOAH TV/big shows and threw those up on the network too Some of those shows from 03-06 are incredible.

It's a fukking travesty that we STILL haven't seen Daisuke Sekimoto and Yuji Okabashi in a New Japan ring. Specially for the G-1 and Tag League

Not gonna repeat the same criticisms I've done in the past months but yeah, kinda glad people are seeing the same things I have

 

[Andrade Almas]

I don't know what Big Japan is thinking. They booked Sumo Hall for their 7/20 show

BUT I don't give a fukk, the main event for that show?


BJW Strong World Heavyweight Title: Daisuke Sekimoto (c) vs. Yuji Okabayashi


holy fukking shiiiiit Been waiting for the 5th installment of their series for 2 years now. They have yet to give us a classic and they are gonna go full retard in Sumo Hall trying to give us one.

If it's anything close to Daisuke vs Yoshihito Sasaki from 2012 I might legit shed a couple of tears

BoSJ Final day, skip to 15 minutes in on part one:

Here's just the final if it's more convenient for people.



Any non Japanese wrestling fan would probably enjoy this one too, try it and join the Puro force

Man, people in here hate them some Michael Elgin, don't they. Never knew it was that serious.

I'll have to watch the BOSJ finals at some point, though I'm very busy these days.

And Meltzer is right about New Japan. Great shows, but static ones, and where's the future of the promotion coming from?

They haven't even signed Daichi Hashimoto and you already assuming New Japan is gonna sign Takeshyta down the line?

Konosuke might fukk around and make it in the US
