I've never posted in this thread until now, but I just want to extend a hand in respect.

I'm not up on this worth a damn, but I had an idea:

Make event threads, I'll sticky them, and after a couple days I'll merge them into this thread.

Just PM me for stickies and merges.

Great idea. I was actually thinking of making a Dominion thread with a little background and info (start time etc) but thought it would get pushed back to page three after a day. Only thing is the next big NJPW run is the G1 which is a whole month of shows, I'd be up for starting/contributing to an overall G1 thread (put in a little history, previous winners/final links etc) but I don't think TSC in general would want another dedicated Japanese thread stickied for a month :patrice:
sakuraba just did a dive to the outside :wow:

That was a an excellent match, definitely the best Saku match since the one he had at the Dome with Nakamura :wow:

Jr title match was tremendous, great to see all that limb selling and the run up to the finish was great.

Ishii/Makabe was fukking brutal. Ishii is the best seller in the industry. Although some of it may not have been selling :patrice: Still though whatever it is it's super realistic. Match wasn't smooth at all but they killed each other so it made up for the mistimed spots. Actually the minor mess ups kinda added to the drama with Ishii falling all over the place; trying to survive etc.

Show so far has been outstanding, really something for everyone here with a ton of different match styles, juniors, shoot style, slugfest, sports entertainment etc. Still have Nakamura and the main event to go.

Definitively one of the top 3 shows of the year (With the G1 coming that could change anytime)

Ishii/Makabe, Omega/Kushida, Shibata/Sakuraba and the main event were all GREAT. Even Tanahashi/Yano was OK. Between this and Dragon Ball Super it has been already a great Sunday :banderas:

About to download and watch Dominion. I've already have been spoiled with the title match so

was Okada's journey back to title contention (and winning) as big of an angle as some of you thought it was going to be? :patrice:

I don't see it to be honest. These 4 moths felt like more filler than a true "defining storyline" for Okada. Much like the Yano's and Yujiro's feud were to Tanahashi in years prior when they decided he needed some time off the belt.


Oh, and you should definitely make a thread about the G-1 @Honga Ciganesta. We'll make sure to keep it active and the TSC brehs are always welcoming for new wrestling. They loved WK and last year some caught the G-1 and loved it :salute:

Anyone got a link?
