I just watched Nakamura final show and it was dope seeing that send off especially with chaos and the ballons. It felt like a special moment.

I know I'm late as hell but NJPW world really is a dope service. I thought it would be a chore to setup and use but I watched most shows off of Chromecast with ease. so shout out to y'all for convincing me to give it a shot

Gedo's going to be too gun shy with Omega, I think. Too bad he's not gonna take Nakamura's advice.

What does it mean "warped relationship with those beneath him" (about Ibushi)?

The New Ace dropping that mixtape soon

Spoiler

Recording voices for an anime

Looks like Shibata's 'bout to drop a mixtape in response:

...also doing a voiceover for an animated series.

Here it is. He's the tiger (ex-boyfriend of the main character):



It's so weird imagining him recording that.

All was perfectly normal voiceover/character work.

No way "Nicholas the tiger". So weird indeed.

Ibushi training to come back?

Interesting the stuff about the convo with Shibata, as well as the Ibushi stuff (including what was posted earlier).

They played this during a commercial on NJPW:


I find it interesting that that's how New Japan looks at it, and that's how they worded it. Gives a little more insight into why he left. I remember reading on another board that the reason he left was because New Japan fired the booker that Shibata was very loyal to. Shibata said something like "my loyalty is to a man, not a business." Apparently the guy was a big booster of the strong style/MMA style of wrestling, and there may have been a power struggle there.

This may have been what Shibata was alluding to when he said that Tanahashi knows exactly why he left. Apparently it wasn't as simple as him just leaving to pursue other things.

This is a complete shot in the dark, but since Brother YASSHI returned to Dragon Gate today, does anyone know why he and his stable partners got kicked out of it in the first place?

What kind of extreme shyt you have to do to get kicked out of DG?
