Audio gets REALLY out of sync at the 8 minute mark (like 3-4 minutes into the match)

A little too long considering Bodyguard and Zeus were in charge of the control section, they weren't able to make the crowd care as much as they should. It was kinda weird seeing the invading team be the babyfaces in this but given the talent involved it and that it was Korakuen it made sense. They turned the corner about half way through the match when they decided to just throw bombs. I like how they didn't went full retard and use the break ups intelligently. Damn good match and the right finish



Dear lord

I couldn't even finish the match. That audio being out of sync was annoying the fukk outta me. Gonna have to just make myself watch

Honestly, the only reason I kept watching was because I knew the result. The match wasn't as great to the point I HAD to keep watching with fukked up audio. Then again, I'ma big "crowd reaction" guy so if the thing was synced I might liked it even more

Yeah audio being out of sync is a huge pet peeve of mine Takes me back to the days of Kazaa/Napster/etc when I thought I had a good copy of a song only to have my eardrums blown out by a DJ KAY SLAY or CLUEMANATTI!!!!! drop

Lol, Hulk was so pissed after this match. A couple of minutes in, Yatsu hit him with a forearm that popped his nose, so he spent the rest of the match no selling everything and just checking for blood. Then he tries to shove off that dropkick at the end of the match and gets popped again.

Watched this over the weekend. I know DG isn't everyone's cup of tea but I fukked with this. Great energy from the crowd and announcer. Not to mention Akira and Eita putting in work

The original pedigree Andre doing that kinda damage to his knees though too bad the match isn't that compelling. I liked the 76' and 79' bouts better...at least that's what I remember, I know there's one were Andre bleeds and another one when he plays to the crowd and is a fukking great a$$hole

Definitely disagree. That one is prob my favorite Inoki/Andre match, although it isn't as good as the Seiji/Andre match I watched right before it. Andre in the 70s is so fukking good. Dude was seriously magical and it is a shame most people only remember his late 80s WWF run where he was physically completely shot and couldn't do much of anything because he was in agony all the time. Actually, same can be said for Adrian Adonis. I have Adonis/Murdoch vs Inoki/Fujinami going up as well, and it is GREAT. So sad people only remember him for dressing like a woman and feuding with Piper. Dude was so good. He could do absolutely everything and was so fast for a dude his size and in the weird shape he was in.

Should be a fun card though, it's better than last year's even though I'd argue that Daisuke vs Yuji was considerably bigger than any match on this show.

Kinda surprised Daichi is so low on the card but there wasn't a lot of room for him. I hope his partner is a returning Kazuki Hashimoto
